SI Community, Common problems with differential signaling applications is how the system responds to "loss of signal" situations or fault conditions (ie. driver powered off, etc) as defined in the RS-644 electrical standard for LVDS interface circuits. We have learned that there is a trade off between integrated failsafe circuitry implementation in receivers and the data rate performance of the receivers. For a given level of power consumption, what is the trade off between integrated failsafe circuitry and no failsafe circuitry relative to the skew, jitter and speed performance? (from a system prespective) Looking forward to your comments.
