Ground-Referenced Single-Ended Signaling: Applications for High-Density, Short-Haul Communication Systems

In this article, we discuss how ground-referenced signaling (GRS) avoids many of the challenges associated with SE signaling, thanks to a unique transmitter (Tx) topology, to produce a link with high reliability, high information density, and high energy efficiency for short-reach applications. GRS-based short-reach links also use a simple but robust clock-forwarding scheme to cancel jitter withou...
