minal V REF<br />
reference voltage of designed circuit equals 1.23 V,<br />
temperature coefficient is 0.3 ppm/ºC at T 0<br />
= 27ºC temperature,<br />
V REF<br />
voltages changes ΔV REF<br />
= 2.4 mV over the temperature<br />
range from 0ºC to 85ºC for typical conditions (TM plot in Fig. 5).<br />
V REF<br />
reference voltage sets the V CM<br />
common mode voltage at the<br />
driver’s output, so for all above cases an achieved V CM<br />
voltage is<br />
compatible with IEEE specification. Tabl. 1 presents the corners<br />
analysis settings, which were used during the simulation.<br />
D. Control block<br />
Control block circuit has been implemented as a two chains<br />
of inverters with complementary outputs, connected with the<br />
shorted gates of LVDS core’s switches. In simplify, the control<br />
blocks buffers U DATA<br />
driver’s input signal to LVDS core’s inputs.<br />
To minimize dynamic control block’s current consumption it is recommended<br />
to control the core of driver by the signal with rise/fall<br />
time around 0.5 ns. It significantly reduces the spikes of current<br />
driven from the supply lines during the switching of inverters.<br />
Simulation Results<br />
Designed LVDS driver characterizes a very low static 7.5<br />
mW and dynamic 8.5 mW power dissipation at data rate<br />
400 Mb/s (TM plot in Fig. 6). The rise/fall time of V DIFF<br />
dif-<br />
ferential voltage is 710/720 ps so the driver is capable<br />
of sending data with maximum rate about 500 Mb/s. The<br />
limits of fall/rise time are set by the output driver’s current<br />
and C R<br />
input capacitance at the receiver side (Fig. 7). According<br />
to the formula:<br />

achieving faster changes in V DIFF<br />
voltage for constant value<br />
of I D<br />
is dependent on capacitor’s value C R<br />
. Fig. 8 presents<br />
the V DIFF<br />
voltage at data rate 1.8 Gb/s and C R<br />
= 1 pF load. To<br />
increase the data rate there can be increased output driver’s<br />
current by external resistor connected with R BIAS<br />
resistor.<br />
That resistor can be also used to set value of V DIFF<br />
differential<br />
voltage when its desired level is changed by the process<br />
technology.<br />
Compatibility with IEEE specification limits the current flow<br />
across R R<br />
= 100 Ω termination resistor to maximum value<br />
4 mA. If the output driver’s current exceeds that limit it is recommended<br />
to decrease the resistance visible into receiver’s<br />
input. Achieved parameters of designed LVDS driver are<br />
shown in Tabl. 2.<br />
