High Speed Low Voltage Logics
This application report (From TI) introduces
the various interface standards used today in modern telecom and datacom systems
and describes the methods used to interface between similar and different I/O
structures used on Texas Instruments serial gigabit solutions products. The main
logic levels discussed in this application report are low-voltage
positive/pseudo emitter-coupled logic (LVPECL), current-mode logic (CML),
voltage-mode logic (VML) and low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS). This
document focuses on these four logic levels, because they are now the most
prevalent in today’s communications systems. This document deals with the
different SERDES devices from Texas Instruments, from input/output structures,
various high-speed drivers and receivers, receiver biasing, and termination
schemes. Explanations and examples on how to interface different types of
drivers and receivers using ac-coupling are also given.
As the demand for high-speed data transmission grows, the
interface between high-speed ICs becomes critical in achieving high performance,
low power, and good noise immunity. Three commonly used interfaces are PECL
(positive-referenced emitter-coupled logic), LVDS (low-voltage differential
signals), and CML (current mode logic).
When designing high-speed systems, people often encounter the
problem of how to connect different ICs with different interfaces. To deal with
this, it is important to understand the input and output circuit configurations
of each interface for proper biasing and termination. This paper
(From Maxim) describes various ways of interconnecting between PECL, CML, and
LVDS for high-speed communication systems, using Maxim products as
examples.
