Applications Information
Wiring the Differential Input to Accept Single-Ended Levels
Figure 1 shows how a differential input can be wired to accept single
ended levels. The reference voltage V
1
= V
CC
/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 2.5V and V
CC
= 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
CC
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
CC
+ 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.

Differential Clock Input Interface
The CLK /nCLK accepts LVDS, LVPECL, LVHSTL, SSTL, HCSL and
other differential signals. Both V
SWING
and V
OH
must meet the V
PP
and V
CMR
input requirements. Figures 2A to 2F 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 confirm the
driver termination requirements. For example, in Figure 2A, the input
termination applies for IDT’s open emitter LVHSTL drivers. If you are
using an LVHSTL driver from another vendor, use their termination
recommendation.

Recommendations for Unused Input and Output Pins
Inputs:
LVCMOS Control Pins
All control pins have internal pullup or pulldown; additional resistance
is not required but can be added for additional protection. A 1k
resistor can be used.
CLK/nCLK Inputs
For applications not requiring the use of the differential input, both
CLK and nCLK can be left floating. Though not required, but for
additional protection, a 1k resistor can be tied from CLK to ground.
Outputs:
LVPECL Outputs
All unused LVPECL output pairs can be left floating. We recommend
that there is no trace attached. Both sides of the differential output
pair should either be left floating or terminated.
Termination for 3.3V LVPECL Outputs
The clock layout topology shown below is a typical termination for
LVPECL outputs. The two different layouts mentioned are
recommended only as guidelines.
The differential outputs are low impedance follower outputs that
generate ECL/LVPECL compatible outputs. Therefore, terminating
resistors (DC current path to ground) or current sources must be
used for functionality. These outputs are designed to drive 50
transmission lines. Matched impedance techniques should be used
to maximize operating frequency and minimize signal distortion.
Figures 3A and 3B show two different layouts which are
recommended only as guidelines. Other suitable clock layouts may
exist and it would be recommended that the board designers
simulate to guarantee compatibility across all printed circuit and clock
component process variations.
