Sharing one or more load inductors comprises receiving a first input signal at a first terminal of a first amplifier and amplifying the first input signal using the first amplifier. The first amplifier is coupled to one or more load inductors at a second terminal of the first amplifier and is coupled to one or more dedicated source inductors at a third terminal of the first amplifier. Also, a second input signal is received at a first terminal of a second amplifier amplifying the second input signal using the second amplifier. The second amplifier is coupled to the one or more load inductors at a second terminal of the second amplifier and is coupled to one or more dedicated source inductors at a third terminal of the second amplifier.

Load inductor sharing

A high speed board-to-board data transfer system capable of data transfer over single ended ribbon cable between a slave device and a master device. A slave device comprises a plurality of drivers generating clock signals at above 40 MHz connected to cable connector pins by a trace line through a series termination resistor. A master device comprises a plurality of receivers corresponding to the drivers connected to cable connector pins through a trace line. The ribbon cable is a single-ended ribbon cable using a ground-signal-ground configuration. The drivers, trace lines, resistors, cables, and receivers are chosen to provide reliable data transfer above 40 MHz, preferably between 40 MHz and 80 MHz. Preferred master and slave devices comprise VESA VIP 2.0 masters and slaves transmitting high quality video.
