Abstract

Device for regenerating digital signals transmitted along a coaxial line. So as to transmit information at flow rates greater than or equal to 650 Mbauds, the storage comparator of the invention is constructed in the form of an integrated circuit on AsGa and with negative threshold voltage MESFET transistors. It comprises an adjustable threshold voltage comparator stage, a type-D flip-flop for storage and resynchronization with respect to an external clock, and an output matching stage which may provide summation at its output.
