Lee,
I certainly hope you don't take yourself too seriously.  ECL is dead?  I
guess all the people around the world whom design ATE equipment should
just find another line of work.  Maybe write books?

Venu,

Fanout is a DC loading concept for TTL.  It has no meaning when talking
about high speed circuits.  Driver output impedance and rise time are
what are important for COMS. CMOS inputs are purely capacitive, so they
represent no DC load.  TTL is dead as a technology, so worrying about
fanout is behind us.  By the way, ECL is dead as well.
