= 2.85V to 3.63V, T
A
= -40°C to +85°C, CML receiver output load is AC-coupled to differential 100
Ω, C
AZ
= 1nF, transmitter out-
put load is AC-coupled to differential 100
Ω (see Figure 1), typical values are at +25°C, V
CC
= 3.3V, I
BIAS
= 6mA, I
MOD
= 6mA, unless
otherwise specified. Registers are set to default values unless otherwise noted, and the 3-wire interface is static during measure-
ments. For testing, the RATE_SEL bit was used and the RSEL pin was left open.)
