Scott,

Would it be problematic if we have multiple devices (requiring low skew
between them) to have some of them using the differential pairs and
others using one side only (as you described below?)

Thanks,
Simon.

simon,

just drive one side of the sstl-2 signal directly into
a 2.5 volt cmos device with the standard vdd/2 termination.
the switching point of the differential signal should be
around Vtt (Vdd/2), which will be the same as the threshold
for standard CMOS (not TTL compatable CMOS), so the switching point
will be the same.  You can adjust the termination resistor
to guarantee the necessary signal swing needed around
1.25 volts for the CMOS input.

Or you can
use a device like a xylinx virtex2 device which
has sstl-2 receivers and cmos drivers, along with built
in DLL's to synchronize the two, if necessary.
