EIA JESD 8-16A:2004

This standard defines the electrical parameters for high-speed interfaces for use in the 1.2V electrical environment. Included in the standard are a single ended signaling interface suitable for parallel buses, and a differential signaling interface suitable for clock applications or parallel differential buses. JEDEC BIC Standard JESD8-16A continues the tradition of the JESD8-xx standards, defining electrical interfaces for the industry as new technologies and bus requirements develop. Previously, JEDEC defined standard JESD8-6, the HSTL standard, for use in 1.5V electrical environments. BIC is similar to HSTL, except the power supply voltage has dropped from 1.5V to 1.2V, and interface requirements are tightened to allow much higher speeds
