Hi Bruce, Snip: Whilst there are many books available of clock distribution within digital systems (eg http://cva.stanford.edu/books/dig_sys_engr/) and within VLSI chips, there is little specific info published in book form on precision clock/frequency standard distribution on the larger

Hi All, Can anyone give me the low-down on logic standards for clock distribution in digital systems? It seems that ECL, PECL and LVDS are the most widely used. After a quick glance at the specs for the above mentioned standards I noted the following differences between ECL/PECL and LVDS:
