There are some interesting high speed parts available in ECL from a
number of vendors

See http://www.inphi-corp.com/ for a look at GIGABIT logic

" Inphi's family of prescalers extends the applicability of these
devices up to 25 GHz, which represents a major breakthrough in microwave
circuit technology and paves the way for innovative and cost-effective
commercial, military, and aerospace applications."

A lot of the models I've done recently have had a port or two of ECL
(PECL). They tend to be used in communications applications, military or
clock distribution.  ECL may have high DC power consumption but as you
go up in frequency the power consumption of a CMOS gate can also be
relatively high.

Ken,

Guess I overshot!  There are still a few places that ECL is used and one
of them is what you mentioned.  Still, as a logic family for other
applications, it's been pretty well displaced by CMOS.  For most of us
designing high speed computers and such it may as well be dead.  IF for
no other reason than power consumption.
