Abstract
In this paper, MOS current mode logic (MCML) is implemented in a multi-threshold CMOS technology. The design scheme allows the reduction of the minimum operational supply voltage, as well as the elimination of level shifters used. A high-speed 1:8 2.5 Gbit/s demultiplexer is used as a test vehicle. A 37% power saving is achieved. Furthermore, the impact of using the MTCMOS implementation over circuit parameters such as output impedance, current-matching-ratio, common-mode-rejection-ratio, gain, threshold voltage fluctuations and frequency response is investigated. This work is important for industry since the MTCMOS technique opens a new alley for reducing power in MCML high-speed implementations while attaining the required data rates.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
