General Guidelines

  • Terminate the differential driver as explained in the Differential section.
  • Provide a DC return path for the differential driver, if required.
  • Confirm that the single-ended output voltage swing (VOD) meets the single-ended receiver requirements.
  • Use IBIS models to simulate the signal integrity and translation between the differential and single-ended receiver.
