Nagammai, There have been a few posts recommending approaches for designing your input circuit. If you don't have access to the circuit at that level (e.g. you're interfacing to an existing piece of equipment), then there are two other options: 1) AC-couple into one of the inputs (only if your duty cycle is near 50%) 2) Use an external device to convert the signal to differential We have two products that do the latter, either our dual channel PECL receiver/line driver: http://www.pulseresearchlab.com/products/differential/prl-430/430main.htm or our 1:2 PECL fanout buffer, which can also take single-ended inputs: http://www.pulseresearchlab.com/products/fanout/prl-431/431main.htm Both are available in PECL, NECL and LVPECL versions.
