Abstract
A programmable differential signaling system includes a programmable bias generator and a plurality of input/output modules. The programmable bias generator is operably coupled to generate a first global bias signal and a second global signal based on desired signal properties of one of a plurality of differential signaling conventions. The a plurality of input/output modules is operably coupled to convert between differential signaling and single ended signaling, wherein actual signal properties of the differential signaling are regulated based on the first and second global bias signals to substantially equal the desired signal properties.
