Abstract
While most aspects of single-ended signaling interfaces do not change from one generation to the next, certain topological changes may enhance the robustness of single-ended schemes at higher datarates. Reference voltage (VREF) generation is critical to maintaining sufficient signaling margins and thus demands attention. This paper discusses VREF generation and introduces a VREF architecture which provides static level tuning while tracking dynamic power supply variation.
