CML Driver

The CML driver drives two pairs differential CMOS level inputs (inIp & inIn, inQp & inQn) to two pairs of differential current-mode logic outputs (Ioutp & Ioutn, Qoutp & Qoutn) with minimum skew for high speed signal distribution. The CML driver is specifically designed for a clock distribution network for high speed signaling. A bias current is necessary to bias the current sources in the CML driver. The biasing circuitry can be amortized over multiple drivers to minimize the overhead. The device operates from 0.9-V to 1.1-V supply environment and is characterized from –40°C to 125°C. The CML driver employs a fully differential structure in order to maximize the rejection capabilities against common-mode noise and power supply noise. The CML driver has been experimentally verified through its application in LPDDR5 DRAM interface.
