Functional Description
Data Input
The data input receiver is internally terminated by a center-tapped resistor network. For differential input
AC coupling, the network is terminated to the appropriate termination voltage, V
TERM
through a blocking
capacitor, C
AC
to ground. The input requires a differential signal with a peak-to-peak voltage on both the true
and complement of a minimum of 250mV. These inputs are required to be AC-coupled to allow use with a vari-
ety of limiting amplifiers.
