Single-Ended Signaling Characteristics

The single-ended signals must be routed to the link interface(s) of all devices. The specification states that routing “must be done in a daisy-chain fashion, with any stubs being less than 1 inch in length.” The general characteristics of each of the single-ended signals are also the same:

  • Output drivers must be implemented as Open Drain LVCMOS

  • A pullup resistor (≥1KΩ) is required to support the open drain drivers.

  • Receivers must be implemented as single-ended 2.5V Tolerant LVCMOS

RESET# and PWROK may be implemented as input-only, depending on whether the device has been designed to extend RESET# during initialization. Table 14-10 lists the power requirements, input and output voltages, current requirements ...
