Differential Output Driver on TSMC CLN7FF

Overview

The Differential Output Driver macros provide a low noise, high performance differential output clock. The output driver design implements a push-pull differential driver which provides a source driver resistance from 33 to 55 ohms.

The output driver is implemented in Analog Bits’ proprietary architecture that uses core devices only. There is only one power supply so there are no power-up/power-down sequence restrictions.
