Single ended signal subject several means of distortions and noise. Ground or reference may move due to switching currents (SSO noise). We touched on this in the ground conundrum class. A single ended receiver only cares about a voltage that is referenced to its own ground. Electromagnetic interference can impose voltage on a single ended signal. Signal passing from one board to another are subject to the local ground disturbance. We can counteract many of these effect by adding more ground. As frequencies increase beyond 1GHz, 80% of the signal will be lost. Review of threshold sensitivity The wave is referenced to either Vcc or Vss. Consequently the effective DC value of the wave will be tied to one of these rails. The wave is attenuated around the effective DC component of the waveform, but the reference does not change accordingly. Hence the clock trigger point between various clock load points is very sensitive to distortion and attenuation. Differential Signaling Any signal can be considered a loop is completed by two wires. One of the “wires” in single ended signaling is the “ground plane” Differential signaling uses two conductors The transmitter translates the single input signal into a pair of outputs that are driven 180° out of phase. The receiver, a differential amplifier, recovers the signal as the difference in the voltages on the two lines. Advantages of differential signaling can be summed up as follows Differential Signaling is not sensitive to SSO noise. A diff
