发明名称 DRIVE SUPPORTING MULTIPLE SIGNALING MODES
摘要 <p>A driver supports differential and single-ended signaling modes. Complementary transistors with a common tail node are provided with complementary input signals in the differential mode. A current source coupled to the tail node maintains a relatively high tail impedance and a constant tail current in the differential mode. The tail node is set to a low impedance in single-ended modes to decouple the two transistors, allowing them to amplify uncorrelated input signals. The current source draws multiple current levels in the single- ended mode to compensate for changes in tail current that result from changes in the relative values of the uncorrelated data in the single-ended modes. A termination block provides termination resistance in the differential mode, pull-up transistors in a single-ended mode that employs push-pull drivers, and is omitted in a single-ended mode that lacks driver-side termination.</p>
