floating (FBO_DIV and FBI_DIV1:0). QDIV0 needs to be ÷4, which
is a default value so this pin can be left floating. QDIV1 must be HIGH
for ÷5, so this pin must be pulled high or driven high externally.
OE[1:0] = 01, so OE0 can Float and OE1 must be pulled Low.

This example shows a case where each card may be dynamically
configured as a master or slave card, hence the need for an
ICS8714004I and ICS841402I on each card. On the master timing
card, the ICS841402I provides a 100MHz reference to the
ICS8714004I CLK, nCLK input. The M-LVDS pair on the
ICS8714004I is configured as an output (OE_MLVDS = Logic 1) and
the internal divider is set to ÷4 to generate 25MHz M-LVDS to the
backplane. The 25MHz clock is also used as a reference to the
FemtoClock PLL which multiplies to a VCO frequency of 500MHz.
Each of the four output pairs may be individually set for ÷4 or ÷5 for
125MHz or 100MHz operation respectively and in this example, one
output pair is set to 100MHz for the FPGA and another output pair is
set to 125MHz for the PCI Express serdes. For the slave card, the
M-LVDS pair is configured as an input (OE_MLVDS = LOW) and the
FemtoClock PLL multiplies this reference frequency to 500MHz VCO
frequency and the output dividers are set to provide 100MHz to the
FPGA and 125MHz to the PCI Express Serdes as shown.

Wiring the Differential Input to Accept Single-Ended Levels
Figure 2 shows how a differential input can be wired to accept single
ended levels. The reference voltage V
1
= V
DD
/2 is generated by the
bias resistors R1 and R2. The bypass capacitor (C1) is used to help
filter noise on the DC bias. This bias circuit should be located as
close to the input pin as possible. The ratio of R1 and R2 might need
to be adjusted to position the V
1
in the center of the input voltage
swing. For example, if the input clock swing is 3.3V and V
DD
= 3.3V,
R1 and R2 value should be adjusted to set V
1
at 1.25V. The values
below are for when both the single ended swing and V
DD
are at the
same voltage. This configuration requires that the sum of the output
impedance of the driver (Ro) and the series resistance (Rs) equals
the transmission line impedance. In addition, matched termination at
the input will attenuate the signal in half. This can be done in one of
two ways. First, R3 and R4 in parallel should equal the transmission
line impedance. For most 50 applications, R3 and R4 can be 100.
The values of the resistors can be increased to reduce the loading for
slower and weaker LVCMOS driver. When using single-ended
signaling, the noise rejection benefits of differential signaling are
reduced. Even though the differential input can handle full rail
LVCMOS signaling, it is recommended that the amplitude be
reduced. The datasheet specifies a lower differential amplitude,
however this only applies to differential signals. For single-ended
applications, the swing can be larger, however V
IL
cannot be less
than -0.3V and V
IH
cannot be more than V
DD
+ 0.3V. Though some
of the recommended components might not be used, the pads
should be placed in the layout. They can be utilized for debugging
purposes. The datasheet specifications are characterized and
guaranteed by using a differential signal.

Overdriving the XTAL Interface
The XTAL_IN input can be overdriven by an LVCMOS driver or by one
side of a differential driver through an AC coupling capacitor. The
XTAL_OUT pin can be left floating. The amplitude of the input signal
should be between 500mV and 1.8V and the slew rate should not be
less than 0.2V/nS. For 3.3V LVCMOS inputs, the amplitude must be
reduced from full swing to at least half the swing in order to prevent
signal interference with the power rail and to reduce internal noise.
Figure 3A shows an example of the interface diagram for a high
speed 3.3V LVCMOS driver. This configuration requires that the sum
of the output impedance of the driver (Ro) and the series resistance
(Rs) equals the transmission line impedance. In addition, matched
termination at the crystal input will attenuate the signal in half. This
can be done in one of two ways. First, R1 and R2 in parallel should
equal the transmission line impedance. For most 50
applications,
R1 and R2 can be 100
. This can also be accomplished by removing
R1 and changing R2 to 50. The values of the resistors can be
increased to reduce the loading for a slower and weaker LVCMOS
driver. Figure 3B shows an example of the interface diagram for an
LVPECL driver. This is a standard LVPECL termination with one side
of the driver feeding the XTAL_IN input. It is recommended that all
components in the schematics be placed in the layout. Though some
components might not be used, they can be utilized for debugging
purposes. The datasheet specifications are characterized and
guaranteed by using a quartz crystal as the input.
