	High voltage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		High voltages may lead to electrical breakdown resulting in an electrical discharge as illustrated by the plasma filaments streaming from a Tesla coil.
		High voltage is used in electrical power distribution, in cathode-ray tubes, to generate X-rays and particle beams, to demonstrate arcing, for ignition, in photomultiplier tubes, and high power amplifier vacuum tubes.
		High voltage circuit breakers often use a blast of high pressure air, a special dielectric gas (such as SF6 under pressure), or immersion in mineral oil to quench the arc when the high voltage circuit is broken.

	Differential TTL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Differential TTL is a type of binary electrical signalling based on the TTL (transistor-transistor logic) standard.
		The "low" voltage level is zero to 0.8 volts, and the "high" voltage level is 2 volts to 5 volts.
		Differential TTL signalling was used in the Serial Storage Architecture (SSA) standard devised by IBM, but this is mostly obsolete.

	High-voltage differential signalling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		High-voltage differential (HVD) signalling is an electrical signalling system using high-voltage signals, as opposed to low-voltage differential signalling (see LVDS).
		In computer electronics, "high voltage" normally means 5 volts or more.
		Since any interference to the signals coming from external sources is likely to influence the two wires by an equal amount, leading to a 'common mode' signal which is removed by the receiver, the maximum cable length is increased compared with single-ended circuitry.

	Low voltage differential signaling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		LVDS is a differential signaling system, which means that it transmits two different voltages which are compared at the receiver.
		The low common-mode voltage (the average of the voltages on the two wires) of about 1.25 V allows LVDS to be used with a wide range of integrated circuits with power supply voltages down to 2.5 V or lower.
		Its high speed, and its use of in-channel synchronisation, makes it possible to send serial data faster than could be done with a parallel bus, and using fewer wires.

	General Test & Measurement Accessories
		High voltage probes are useful for measuring voltages beyond the standard input range for the oscilloscope.
		The low voltage differential probes are used primarily to measure extremely low signal levels, often in the microvolts, up to moderate levels of several volts.

	Ultra2 SCSI Low Voltage Differential (LVD) Drives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Low Voltage Differential (LVD) devices are defined under the Ultra2 subset of the SCSI-3 standard.
		HVD devices require a special controller and are not compatible with LVD or single-ended devices; therefore, when DiffSens senses an HVD device, it disables the operation.
		The low voltage and current component of LVD allows the differential transceivers to be implemented into the drive's on-board SCSI controller, eliminating the need for separate and costly external high voltage differential components.

	High Voltage Differential Tutorial, SCSI
		High Voltage Differential is different from the regular SCSI you encounter in most computer stores today.

	High voltage differential - The Jiggies Reference Guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		High voltage differential stands for an electrical signalling system using high voltage, as in opposite to low voltage differential signalling (see LVD).
		This is because the signal on the wires is not received as a delta of a signal wire to ground, but as the difference between pairs of wires not related to ground (hence the term "differential").
		The principles regarding frequency and power level for the first primitive RADAR units used high voltage, high frequency alternating currents.

	High-voltage differential input receiver (US6525607)
		The differential input receiver includes a first stage, a second stage, and a third stage, which incrementally reduce in stages the common mode of a differential signal received from the external channel.
		During a power-down mode, clamping circuits in the differential input receiver clamp the voltage at nodes in the differential input receiver, and clamp the differential output from the first stage, to a predetermined voltage to prevent electrical overstress of oxide layers of n-channel and p-channel devices in the differential input receiver.
		Consequently, electrical overstress of oxide layers is prevented, and the voltage swing level of inputs from the external channel is reduced in stages from a higher voltage level to a lower voltage level.

		The low differential voltage 350 mV as stated above causes LVDS consume very little power compared to other For example the static power dissipation in LVDS load resistor is 1.2 mW compared the 90 mW dissipated by the load for an RS-422 signal.

		This differential drive technique increases the lifetime of the modulator by maintaining a zero mean voltage across its terminals.
		However, the relatively low voltage requirements of the transverse field RTP Pockels cell allow Leysop to switch the high voltage at high repetition rates with acceptable power consumption at the driver.
		Safety is paramount and the high voltage output is provided by a safe high voltage (SHV) form of the BNC connector and a matching lead is supplied to connect to the Pockels cell terminals.

	Terms
		Used solely with a differential SCSI bus (where all devices are of the High Voltage Differential type).
		This type of terminator was introduced to eliminate/reduce unwanted oscillations in bus signals; the principle is to clamp voltages when they otherwise would rise too high and to feed current into the line to eliminate undershooting of a signal.
		The Low Voltage Differential is a requirement for the higher speeds at a reasonable cost and is the only way to have adequate skew budgets.

	Single-Ended (SE) and Differential (High Voltage Differential, HVD) Signaling
		Conventional logic is used: a positive voltage is a "one", and a zero voltage (ground) is a "zero".
		Differential SCSI is a great idea in theory, and one might have thought it would become very popular.
		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.

		This is unlike the more common technique of single-ended signalling, 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.
		The high voltage levels give the signals some immunity from noise, since few naturally occurring signals can create that sort of voltage.
		Other examples include differential ECL, PECL, RS-422 and RS-485, but LVDS is currently the only scheme that combines low power dissipation with high speed.

		Unless your jukebox has a Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI interface, Pegasus recommends using an Adaptec AHA-2930 Ultra or AHA-2940 Ultra for external single-ended SCSI 2 peripherals instead of the AHA-2940U2W.
		The Adaptec 2940U2W SCSI adapter was a good choice for high performance workstations and servers with SCSI internal devices however, it is not well suited for external devices that rely on the single-ended SCSI 2 interface.
