ABSTRACT:
In a high speed complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) inter-integrated circuit (IC) chip communication system, transmission line voltage swings between logic high and logic low levels are reduced by defining minimum and maximum bus voltages which lie between CMOS logic levels, thus lowering bus transition and hence data transfer times. The system is versatile, and does not involve typical emitter-coupled logic (ECL) logic levels. Transceivers interfacing between IC chips and the backpanel transmit data in the reduced logic level range on a pre-charged transmission line, and receive and convert data back to CMOS levels. A limiting transistor in the transmitter portion of the transceiver limits logic low level of the transmission line. The receiver portion of the transceiver converts the voltages received to CMOS levels with the aid of a differential (sense) amplifier.
