For both PECL and LVDS the min and max values are the differences
between the two lines. For instance, in a nominal PECL case with
Vcm=-1.32v, Vo(difmax)=800 mV would appear as Vo+ = -0.92 v and
Vo- = -1.72 v Since the differential limits are symmetrical this
also applies to Vo+ = -1.72 v and Vo- = -0.92 v
For LVDS, with a positive offset, the Vo Dif(min) would appear as
Vo+ = 1.50 v and Vo- = 1.0 v
The input range is of course wider than the output range to allow
for both attenuation and noise.
