Abstract

High-speed data transport is needed for today’s high-performance systems, but power consumption is a major concern, especially for portable equipment. Various popular input/output (I/O) interface schemes will be described, covering typical speed, key circuit design issues, configurations and power consumption. Among popular low-swing low-power solutions, LSI Logic’s low-voltage differential signalling (Hyper-LVDS™) buffers will be covered in more details. The list of I/O’s discussed include: HSTL, GTL/NTL, PCML, PECL, USB and matched-impedance buffers.
