8516 DATA SHEET
9 LOW SKEW, 1-TO-16
DIFFERENTIAL-TO-LVDS CLOCK DISTRIBUTION CHIP
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 1 shows how the differential input can be wired to accept
single ended levels. The reference voltage V_REF = V
DD
/2 is
generated by the bias resistors R1, R2 and C1. This bias circuit
should be located as close as possible to the input pin. The ratio
FIGURE 1. SINGLE ENDED SIGNAL DRIVING DIFFERENTIAL INPUT
WIRING THE DIFFERENTIAL INPUT TO ACCEPT SINGLE ENDED LEVELS
of R1 and R2 might need to be adjusted to position the V_REF
in the center of the input voltage swing. For example, if the input
clock swing is only 2.5V and V
DD
= 3.3V, V_REF should be 1.25V
and R2/R1 = 0.609.
INPUTS:
LVCMOS CONTROL PINS:
All control pins have internal pull-ups or pull-downs; additional
resistance is not required but can be added for additional
protection. A 1kΩ resistor can be used.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UNUSED INPUT AND OUTPUT PINS
OUTPUTS:
LVDS – Like OUTPUT
All unused LVDS output pairs can be either left fl oating or
terminated with 100Ω across. If they are left fl oating, we
recommend that there is no trace attached.
