A high-speed bipolar master/slave D-flip-flop IC for many applications in future optical communication systems is presented. The circuit can be used up to 3.8 Gbit/s at 5 V supply voltage. It was fabricated in a silicon planar technology similar to today's production technologies with standard 2 μm design rules, but without needing polysilicon emitter and super self-aligned processes.
