ABSTRACT:
By on-chip modification of a conventional balanced driver to yield special voltage levels, the power dissipation of a balanced, terminated transmission line circuit can be reduced by 50% or more relative to a conventional balanced driver or 25% or more relative to a conventional unbalanced driver. This reduction in power dissipation not only applies to point-to-point interconnections but also applies to bused interconnections. The low power balanced driver circuit can be implemented using ECL, BiCMOS, GaAs and CMOS technologies and no modifications are needed to the associated differential line receiver. Thus, the significant benefits of balanced interconnections, namely reduced crosstalk, increased noise immunity, and elimination of ground noise can be realized with a significant reduction in power dissipation.
