Topic: Differential signaling


  
  Differential signaling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Differential signaling reduces the noise on a connection by rejecting common-mode interference.
A differential signaling system is unlike the more common technique of single-ended signaling, in which the transmitter generates a single voltage that the receiver compares with a fixed reference voltage, both relative to a common ground connection shared by both ends.
This is because the signal on the wires is received not as the difference between a signal wire and a ground wire, but as the difference between two wires not related to ground (hence the term "differential").

 Low voltage differential signaling
In the past most signalling schemes relied on detecting the presence of a signal in a single wire, compared to ground.
Prior to that point it could signal faster than the computers it was running in, and the need to run twice as many wires for the same amount of data was too high a price to pay.
Yet there was widespread interest in it for multimedia and supercomputer users, both of whom needed to move large amounts of data over links several meters long, from a disk drive to a workstation for instance.

 Behavioural neuroscience: Addicted to love - Cell Signaling Update - Signaling Gateway
Differential signaling through certain dopamine receptors promotes selective aggression towards strangers in the characteristically monogamous prairie voles.
Indeed, previous studies have shown that dopamine signalling in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), part of the mesolimbic reward system, is required for pair-bond formation in prairie voles, which are characteristically monogamous.
The authors therefore suggest that a reorganization of dopaminergic signalling in the NAc contributes to the transition from an affiliative approach towards novel females observed in naive males to selective aggression in bonded males, a behaviour that helps to maintain an established partnership.

 TTI MarketEye - Bishop 8/9/04
With single-ended signaling, a signal is detected as a difference in voltage between a signal line and a common ground.
In differential signaling, the signal is represented as a voltage difference between a pair of dedicated lines.
Differential pair signals must arrive at their destination at the same time, so the length of the conductive path through the connector is carefully designed to minimize differences in pair length and resulting signal skew.

 Single-Ended (SE) and Differential (High Voltage Differential, HVD) Signaling
It is called differential signaling, after the technique used to determine the value of each signal by the recipient.
The end result of all of this is that the older type of differential signaling is rarely seen in the PC world.
High voltage differential signaling has been around since the earliest SCSI-1 standard, so devices have been theoretically available as either SE or HVD since the start of SCSI use on the PC--of course, whether any particular model has been implemented in HVD is another story altogether.

 Low voltage differential signaling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LVDS is a differential signaling system, which means that it transmits two different voltages which are compared at the receiver.
This type of signalling is called a current loop.
The small amplitude of the signal and the tight electric- and magnetic-field coupling between the two wires reduces the amount of radiated electromagnetic noise.

 Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) Signaling
The alternative was to go to the older type of (high voltage) differential signaling, with its high cost and catastrophic electrical incompatibility with single-ended hardware.
This is a differential signaling method that was designed to use the advantages of differential signaling to allow long cable lengths, while reducing implementation cost and allowing for electrical compatibility with single-ended devices.
In fact, LVD signaling is required for Ultra2 or Wide Ultra2 SCSI (unless HVD is used), and LVD is the exclusive signaling method for all SCSI modes faster than Ultra2.

 Innate immunity: Differential TLR signalling - Cell Signaling Update - Signaling Gateway
Signaling through TLRs can result in qualitative differences in immune responses by a mechanism involving differential ERK signaling and c-FOS.
Differentially stimulated DCs were then placed in culture with naive, allogeneic T cells to assess their effect on T-cell responses.
Differences were observed in the magnitude and duration of MAPK signalling, particularly extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) signalling, in the DCs.

 Differential Signaling
On the far side, terminate the signal differentially with 100 ohms.
Spacing the signal pins further away from ground raises the impedance.
The 'big-pad' concept works when the connector through-delay is less than 1/6th of the signal risetime, and the connector is acting like a lumped- element inductor (too high an impedance).

 Cell Communication and Signaling | Abstract | Differential expression of CCN-family members in primary human bone ...
Since mesenchymal stem cells of bone marrow are important progenitors for various differentiation pathways in bone and possess increasing potential for regenerative medicine, here we aimed to analyze the expression of CCN family members in bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells and along the osteogenic, the adipogenic and the chondrogenic differentiation.
Differentiation into adipocytes and osteoblasts was done in monolayer culture, differentiation into chondrocytes was induced in high density cell pellet cultures.
The differential expression of CTGF/CCN2, WISP2/CCN5, WISP3/CCN6 and mainly CYR61/CCN1 indicates, that these members of the CCN-family might be important regulators for bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in the regulation of proliferation and initiation of specific differentiation pathways.

 High-Speed Signal Distribution Using Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) - Maxim/Dallas
Low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) is well-suited for a variety of applications, including clock distribution and point-to-multipoint signal distribution.
For example, the DSP section of a basestation must, in most cases, be synchronized to the radio-frequency signal processing section, which is where phase-locked loops (PLLs) produce the required local oscillator frequencies and where analog-to-digital converters are locked to the central clock reference.
With this scheme the problems of signal integrity are reduced to ensuring that the impedance of the medium is as uniform as possible; the disturbance that stubs could potentially cause is eliminated.

 Reducing EMI with differential signaling - 12/12/2002 - EDN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
If the two complementary signals of a differential pair are perfectly balanced, the separation between traces entirely determines the degree of field cancellation.
If, however, the two complementary signals are not perfectly balanced, then the degree of attainable field cancellation is limited to a minimum value determined not by the trace spacing, but by the common-mode balance of the differential pair.
The equal and opposite radiation from the adjacent trace is supposed to cancel the radiation from one trace of the differential pair, resulting in a marked reduction in emissions.

 LVDS Splitter Simplifies High-Speed Signal Distribution - Maxim/Dallas
LVDS is seeing increased use in high-speed systems where signal integrity, low-jitter (jitter can be defined as the deviation in a signal's output transitions from their ideal positions in time) and good common-mode performance are required.
As specified in the EIA/TIA-644 LVDS and IEEE 1596.3 standards, LVDS uses differential signals of an amplitude ranging from 250mV to 400mV at an offset of 1.2V.
Many of the advantages of LVDS are due to its differential nature: it is immune to common-mode noise and, in theory, emits no noise itself (this assumes completely symmetrical differential signals - i.e., no skew between the positive and negative outputs).

The use of multilevel signaling is another well-known technique for increasing the data rate over bandlimited channels.
Partial response signaling has been proposed for some time for chip-to-chip links, although practical systems are only now beginning to appear.
This approach resembles partial response signaling except that the difference is taken in space across the width of the bus, rather than in time as in traditional partial response channels.

 EETimes.com - LVDS, CML, ECL-differential interfaces with odd voltages
There are also many other interface technologies that are not differential, thus they tend not to support high-speed (>1Gbps) operation and are typically limited by their small noise margins.
LVDS is a high-speed and low-power differential interface for generic applications.
Due to the fact that one side is pulled to the rail, both the driver and receiver should be powered from the same supply potential for DC coupled applications.

 EETimes.com - Symmetry is central to differential pairs
Differential pairs work by making the received signal the difference between two complementary parts that are referenced to each other, so the effects of their electrically noisy surroundings are minimized.
By contrast, single-ended signals work by making the signal the difference between a received signal and power or ground, so noise that is on the signal or power system does not get canceled out.
In a differential pair, the positive and negative sides must be transmitted through identical surroundings all the way along the transmission path.

This Standard specifies the electrical characteristics of low voltage differential signaling interface circuits, normally implemented in integrated circuit technology, that may be employed when specified for the interchange of binary signals between:
The generators and receivers may be inverting, non-inverting, or may include other digital blocks such as parallel-to-serial or serial-to-parallel converters to boost the data signaling rate on the interchange circuit as required by the application.
Guidance is given in Annex A, Section A.2 with respect to limitations on data signaling rate imposed by the parameters of the cable length, attenuation, and crosstalk for individual installations for a typical cable media interface.
