This half way shift(1.5V) will remain for half of roundtrip time if i am not wrong....Also any voltage above 200mV will be considered as high....On similar lines any diff voltage below -200mV considered as low ... So wont this be ok..or will it be a show stopper.... --- End quote --- As long as the input threshold requirements of the differential receiver are met it is not a problem. But for instance if the source termination resistor values were such that the differential voltage was zero volts during the reflection, the differential receiver would have very low noise immunity. |
