LVDS RX & TX IOs in multiple foundry technology

Overview

Certus provides full LVDS RX & TX IOs in GlobalFoundries and other foundry technologies. The Certus LVDS solutions are ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-A compliant and are capable of data rates of up to 1.5Mbps. Unique to the Certus LVDS solution is that it is self-biased with no external reference blocks required. Our LVDS cell configurations also allow for flexible supply pad arrangements and dense IO placement without compromising signal integrity.

Built into our IO libraries, and also offered as a separate service, is our strong ESD expertise. Certus was founded by ESD engineers and our results speak for themselves. Not only do we address standard ESD such as HBM and CDM, but we can also provide on-chip solutions for standards such as IEC-61000-4-2, system-level ESD and Cable Discharge Events (CDE).

Certus also offers RGMII, SD, I2C, SMBUS, DDC, Analog/RF, HV and other IO variants across most major foundries and technology nodes. We are particularly suited at providing customized options in a cost-efficient framework. Please contact us for supplementary physical or electrical features to suit your needs.
