It was OLD technology back in the mid-80's. Its power requirement was a major
factor in its unpopularity, and, now that CMOS logic in the form of
field-programmable devices, challenges its performance, it's not terribly
popular. There's a newer family called PECL, operating from a 5-volt positivie
power supply, that's been promoted by MOTOROLA, among others, that still offers
the top speeds for critical timing and ultra-fast communication circuits.
