Hi, I've got various components in a signal chain which use CML input/output stages. However I can't find all the components I need in the same Vcc range. Some are 5/3v3, some are 3v3/2v5 and some are 2v5/1v8. So I can't makle the whole chain the same Vcc. I can narrow it down to one discontinuity - from a 3v3 output to a 2v5 input.
Our signal isn't DC balanced which makes AC coupling problematic.
Is there some easy way that I'm missing to interface a 3v3 CML output (which is internally pulled up to 3v3):
