Selva,

Oops; another brain-cramp.
In ECL, the total power dissipation would be:
P = V^2 / R
= (VCC-VTT)^2/Rterm
= 2.0^2/50
= 80 mW
That's per single ended signal. For a diff pair,
power would be 2 * 80 = 160 mW.
For CML, the total voltage drop is VCC-VEE, and the
current is dictated by the technology you happen to
be using, which generally ranges from 3 to 8 mA. So,
power would be:
P = V * I
= (VCC-VEE) * IEE
= 5 * 0.008 (worst case; most often better)
= 40 mW
Because common CML implementations force the current
(8 mA) through either the true or complement, there is no
need to double the power dissipation.
So, P(ECL) = 80 mW
P(CML) = 40 mW
i.e., P(ECL) >= 2 * P(CML)
(did I get it right this time?)

I don't know of any app notes, but here are two references
for additional reading on CML:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TITLE DC Analysis of Current Mode Logic
AUTHOR Ronald L. Treadway
SOURCE IEEE Circuits and Devices Magazine
DATE March, 1989
PAGES 21-35
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TITLE High-Speed InP HBT Circuits, Chapter 8
AUTHOR J. F. Jensen, L. M. Burns, and W. E. Stanchina
DATE 1995?
PAGES 265-315
(I got a preliminary copy of this chapter before
publication, and I never did find out who published
it, copyright date, ISBN, etc. However, if
you work with CML, this chapter is pretty useful.
