Title: Single ended THD
Post by raja.cedt on Jun 18^th, 2013, 3:06am

Hello,
At present i am trying to design design optical receiver at 43gbps, in the data sheet they have specified single-ended THD <1%. Since the whole receiver design is differential i would expect differential THD, which is much better due less 2nd harmonic. But i didn't understand why single ended requirement, have any one experienced similar spec before or can any one explain the use of single ended THD?

Thanks,
Raj.
