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. -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott McMorrow Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 1:13 PM To: sassouad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: SSTL-2 differential receivers 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. scott Simon Assouad wrote: > Hi All, > > > > I'm working with DDR SDRAM interface and need to convert a differential > SSTL-2 clock signal into a single-ended 2.5v CMOS signal.
