The clock layout topology shown below is a typical termination for
LVPECL outputs. The two different layouts mentioned are recom-
mended 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 50Ω
transmission lines. Matched impedance techniques should be used
to maximize operating frequency and minimize signal distortion.
Figures 4A and 4B show two different layouts which are recom-
mended 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 com-
ponent process variations.

INPUTS:
LVCMOS CONTROL PINS
All control pins have internal pullups or pulldowns; 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:
LVPECL OUTPUTS
All unused LVPECL outputs can be left fl oating. We recommend
that there is no trace attached. Both sides of the differential output
pair should either be left fl oating or terminated.
