I have multiple LVDS data sources (400mV pk-pk) I want to aggregate to a 10Gbps data stream using the TLK10081. However, the TLK10081 has CML inputs.
I am not sure what to make of the TLK10081 datasheet spec posted below.
What is the difference between VID and VID(pp)? That is, when do I use one vs. the other?
I think the spec is indicating I can AC couple my LVDS sources to the TLK10081 CML inputs directly as they are internally terminated and will work with any input signal with a input of at least 50mV differential. Am I interpreting this correctly?
Thank you in advance for your guidance and support.
