  Hi, Steve,

  I don't quite get what you mean by "pre-charging" the BLVDS. The data
I get from my previous measurements shows the "glitch" that occurs
  during a hot swap is only a few millivolts and this occurs in BOTH
differential lines which means they will cancel out each other.

  The hot swap simply does not affect any BLVDS drivers/receivers, at
least for National Semiconductors parts.

Subject: [SI-LIST] : BLVDS Hot Swap

Does anybody out there have any data on pre-charging BLVDS (multipoint
LVDS)
signal lines in a HOT SWAP application for the purpose of preventing the
glitch that could occur when the BLVDS lines are momentarily shorted by
the
card being hot-plugged. I'm thinking that this may be required but I
have
not seen any mention of it with respect to BLVDS. What is the
recommended
method of doing this?

Somebody out there must be hot plugging BLVDS devices.

Thanks,
