Can anyone please tell me why we have so many different classes for HSTL and SSTL? It seems to me that we started with HSTL class I and then we needed class II because class I doesn't allow series termination (if we want both source and sink termination). Then we went to requiring class III and IV because that saves one voltage supply. However, anytime you go to a higher class, you require more current so many IC guys don't support all classes. Also you need more power Can anyone please confirm my reasoning. Also, there are no ac specs ie tpd, tphl and tplh in the JEDEC spec. That seems very strange. Don't we need to test that to make sure we can meet certain speeds thanks Rohit _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
