12.4 Switching Characteristics
Unless otherwise specified, recommended operating conditions apply
Notes:
1. The differential peak to peak voltage swing could be from 0.4V to 1.5V and the common mode should be such that
for any of the two states the maximum High shall be less than Vcc and the minimum LOW shall be more than 2.4V.
2. In current mode, a ratio of at least 5 sould exist between the HIGH and LOW level currents.
3. Whatever constant power is programmed, the value of the Imr current can not exceed the limits given in the constant
current mode.
4. The input referred noise voltage, excluding the noise of the MR resistor iis defined as follows :
