Applications Information
Interfacing PECL Inputs and
Outputs to the MAX3840
For information on interfacing with CML, refer to Maxim
Application Note HFAN-01.0, Introduction to LVDS,
PECL, and CML.
Layout Techniques
For best performance, use good high-frequency layout
techniques, filter V
CC
supplies, and keep ground con-
nections short. Use multiple vias where possible. Also,
use controlled-impedance transmission lines to inter-
face with the MAX3840 data inputs and outputs.
