Current mode line driver

Current-Mode Logic (CML) Driver 20 • Used in most high performance serial links • Low voltage operation relative to push-pull driver • High output common-mode keeps current source saturated • Can use DC or AC coupling • AC coupling requires data coding • . This is due to the current mode drivers, the soft transitions, the low switching currents and the use of true differential data transmission. LVDS TERMINATION LVDS uses a constant current mode driver to obtain its many features. The value of the current source for the DS90C is a maximum of mA. The transmission media must be. Figure 2 • Current-Mode Line Driver The current-mode line driver requires 40 mA (2 x 1 V/50 W=40 mA) because the impedance seen by the source is the termination impedance in parallel with the impedance of the load ( W || W = 50 W). Because the current is pulled to ground only, twice as much current is required to create the.

The large difference in power between current-mode and voltage-mode line drivers is due the architecture's method of viewing the total impedance ( W for a voltage-mode line driver versus 50 W with a current-mode line driver). The lower the impedance seen by the source, the higher the amount of power needed. The operation of the current-mode line driver a in FIG. 6 is similar to the operation of the current-mode line driver a in FIG. 5. However, in the current-mode line driver in FIG. 6, the common-mode current sense element provides the signal that corresponds to the value of the total common-mode current experienced by the load Current-programmed active matrix (AM) architectures that are independent of fabrication technology are attractive for display and sensor because of their ability to tolerate mismatches and nonuniformity caused by aging. However, the long settling time due to low current levels and large parasitic capacitance can be a significant limitation. In this paper, we present a fast current-mode line.
