LOW SKEW, 1-TO-16 DIFFERENTIAL CURRENT MODE FANOUT BUFFER
APPLICATION INFORMATION
WIRING THE DIFFERENTIAL INPUT TO ACCEPT SINGLE ENDED LEVELS
Figure 1 shows how the differential input can be wired to accept single
ended levels. The reference voltage V_REF = VDD/2 is generated by
the bias resistors R1, R2 and C1. This bias circuit should be located
as close as possible to the input pin. The ratio of R1 and R2 might
need to be adjusted to position the V_REF in the center of the input
voltage swing. For example, if the input clock swing is only 2.5V and
VDD = 3.3V, V_REF should be 1.25V and R2/R1 = 0.609.
