Overdriving the XIN/REF Interface
LVCMOS Driver
The XIN/REF input can be overdriven by an LVCMOS driver
or by one side of a differential driver through an AC coupling
capacitor. The XOUT pin can be left floating. The amplitude of
the input signal should be between 500mV and 1.2V and the
slew rate should not be less than 0.2V/ns. Figure General
Diagram for LVCMOS Driver to XTAL Input Interface shows an
example of the interface diagram for a LVCMOS driver.
This configuration has three properties; the total output
impedance of Ro and Rs matches the 50 ohm transmission
line impedance, the Vrx voltage is generated at the CLKIN
inputs which maintains the LVCMOS driver voltage level
across the transmission line for best S/N and the R1-R2
voltage divider values ensure that the clock level at XIN is less
than the maximum value of 1.2V.

Table 25 Nominal Voltage Divider Values vs LVCMOS VDD for
XIN
shows resistor values that ensure the maximum drive
level for the XIN/REF port is not exceeded for all combinations
of 5% tolerance on the driver VDD, the VersaClock VDDA and
5% resistor tolerances. The values of the resistors can be
adjusted to reduce the loading for slower and weaker
LVCMOS driver by increasing the voltage divider attenuation
as long as the minimum drive level is maintained over all
tolerances. To assist this assessment, the total load on the
driver is included in the table.
