TERMINATION FOR 3.3V LVPECL OUTPUT
The clock layout topology shown below is a typical termination
for LVPECL outputs. The two different layouts mentioned are
recommended only as guidelines.
FOUT and nFOUT are low impedance follower outputs that
generate ECL/LVPECL compatible outputs. Therefore, termi-
nating 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 5A and 5B 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.
INPUTS:
CRYSTAL INPUT:
For applications not requiring the use of the crystal oscillator
input, both XTAL_IN and XTAL_OUT can be left fl oating. Though
not required, but for additional protection, a 1kΩ resistor can be
tied from XTAL_IN to ground.
CLK I
NPUT:
For applications not requiring the use of a clock input, it can be
left fl oating. Though not required, but for additional protection, a
1kΩ resistor can be tied from the CLK input to ground.
CLK/nCLK I
NPUT:
For applications not requiring the use of the differential input,
both CLK and nCLK can be left fl oating. Though not required,
but for additional protection, a 1kΩ resistor can be tied from
CLK to ground.
LVCMOS C
ONTROL PINS:
All control pins have internal pull-ups or pull-downs; additional
resistance is not required but can be added for additional
protection. A 1kΩ resistor can be used.
VC input pin - do not fl oat, must be biased.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UNUSED INPUT AND OUTPUT PINS
OUTPUTS:
LVPECL OUTPUT
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.
