New signal level transmission mode, i.e. current mode logic (CurrentModel Logic, CML) transmission form, this CML electricity
Flat outputting and inputting has matched, due to reducing peripheral components, more suitable in higher band operation.CML
The characteristics of level, is as shown in Fig. 2, be typically to be made of differential signal, it is defeated to be converted into two difference by two differential input signals
Go out signal, the characteristics of this differential signal is that signal occurs in pairs, is occurred by the Difference signal pair of " just " and negation, this signal
It is that signal swing is smaller first, usually minimum to reach tens millivolts, the supply voltage amplitude of fluctuation of far smaller than CMOS,
Therefore CML level can be referred to as the differential small-signal amplitude of oscillation again, and CMOS level can be referred to as single-ended big signal swing.
