HFAN-06.2: IBIS Data for CML, PECL, and LVDS Interface Circuits
Abstract: The integrated circuits (ICs) found in optical modules and system back-planes rely on the high frequency
performance of interconnections. These high-speed circuits need to be modeled to verify signal
integrity with imperfect connectors and transmission lines. Model information for select Maxim fiber
ICs is made available in IBIS data format at http://www.maxim-ic.com/ibis.cfm.
Interpretation and limitations of IBIS data in fiber circuit interfaces are described in this paper.
