Reduced voltage swing, high speed CMOS driver, receiver techniques for multiple chip set applications

Abstract

A 1.0 mu m CMOS reduced voltage swing driver and receiver capable of driving 30 pF at minimum frequency of 200 MHz, while cutting power consumption by a factor of 14 compared with standard CMOS circuits is described. The drivers do not require extra power supply and external resistors and are suitable for broadband ASIC multi-chip set design.<>
