DIFFERENTIAL CLOCK INPUT INTERFACE
The CLK /nCLK accepts LVDS, LVPECL, HSTL, SSTL, HCSL
and other differential signals. Both V
SWING
and V
OH
must meet
the V

input requirements. Figures 3A to 3E show
interface examples for the CLK/nCLK input driven by the most
common driver types. The input interfaces suggested here are

examples only. Please consult with the vendor of the driver
component to confi rm the driver termination requirements. For
example in Figure 3A, the input termination applies for HSTL
drivers. If you are using an HSTL driver from another vendor,
use their termination recommendation.
