An electronic circuit includes a selectively configurable differential signal
interface and a selection control input for selecting one of a plurality of standard
differential signal interfaces for configuration of the differential signal interface.
The selection control input selects one of the following plurality of standard
differential signal interfaces: reduced swing differential signaling (RSDS), low
voltage differential signaling (LVDS), mini low voltage differential signaling
(mini-LVDS), and bussed low voltage differential signaling (BLVDS), for configuration
of the differential signal interface. The electronic circuit may also include a
plurality of selectable voltage sources (611, 612, 613) and a plurality
of selectable current sources (614, 615, 616, 617), for selecting, in response
to an input signal at the selection control input, at least one of an operating
D.C. voltage, a standard differential signal voltage, and a standard differential
signal current for the differential signal interface.
