Hi, I understood how 8.1mA came from the spec given by doc. But if you see in your equation you used vout, which comes from vin, is not worst case corner. I took worst corners and found the current to be deviating from standard.. My question is this way, For 0/low case, Worst case values from table, Vtt(max) = 1.42 Vref (min) = 1.13V I.Rt = 50 x 8.1 = 0.405v So Vin = 1.42-0.405 = 1.015V Now Vref - Vin = 1.13-1.015 = 0.115V < 0.31min By standard In my case, I.Rt = 50 x 12.5 = 0.625v So Vin = 1.42-0.625 = 0.795v Now Vref - Vin = 1.13-0.795 = 0.335 > 0.31min by standard Where am I wrong....... -Canes Kihong Kim <joshuakh@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Canes, Look at the notes 1 and 2 in Table 5a, and use this imin=(Vtt-Vout)/(Rt+Rs) You will see 8.1mA Cheers, Kihong On 6/19/07, Canes Venatici <starsilic@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi all, I thought of finding how 8.1ma (class-I) is arrived. Refer to the attachment (taken from JESD8-9B,page6) if the reciever is to detect a '0', then as per standard, ac i/p logic low max = Vref - 0.31 (page 4) This tells Vin max = Vref(min) - 0.31 Vref min is 1.13 (table4) and also there is drop of 25mv ac noise on Vref, meaning Vref can go to a minimum of 1.13-0.025. This translates to Vin max= 1.13-0.025-0.31=0.795v meaning, for detecting as low by reciever Vin should not exceed 0.795v at worst conditions. Now coming to the driver side, Vin is max, if Vtt is maximum. So Vin max = Vtt(max) - IRt Vttmax=1.42 (table4). As we know vin should not exceed 0.795, 0.795 = 1.42 - IRt => I.Rt = 1.42 - 0.795 = 0.625. This makes 0.625/50 = 12.5mA. But standard specifies 8.1mA. Where am I wrong...................

In digital IC design, what IC designers normally think for their IO buffer design is so-called toggling frequency for internal logic building block (d-flip/flop etc). If your digital switching frequency is higher than that, it will treat that as a noise. But if it is within that range, it takes the switching as a meaningful transition whether or not it is meant to be. So in order to have IO buffers optimal in terms of SNR(signal in power and AC ringing as noise), you want to limit the bandwidth to increase the input signal sensitivity within a meaningful range.
