A 622 MHz stand-alone LVDS driver pad in 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS

Abstract

A 622 MHz LVDS driver is implemented in a standard 0.18-/spl mu/m digital CMOS technology as a stand-alone dual pad for an I/O library. The driver draws 23 mW of static power from a 1.8 V power supply, occupies an active area (excluding ESD protection circuitry) of 0.022 mm/sup 2/ and is fully compatible with the IEEE LVDS standard for reduced-range links.
