Power Supply Filtering Techniques
As in any high speed analog circuitry, noise at the power supply
pins can degrade performance. To achieve optimum jitter perfor-
mance, use good power supply isolation practices. Figure 9 illus-
trates a typical filtering scheme. Because all of the current flows
through pin 1, the resistance and inductance between this pin
and the supply is minimized. A 0.01 or 0.1 µF ceramic chip
capacitor is also located close to this pin to provide a short and
low impedance AC path to ground. A 1 to 10 µF ceramic or
tantalum capacitor is located in the general vicinity of this device
and may be shared with other devices.

Termination for LVPECL Output
The CY2XP31 implements its LVPECL driver with a current
steering design. For proper operation, it requires a 50 ohm dc
termination on each of the two output signals. For 3.3 V
operation, this data sheet specifies output levels for termination
to V
DD
–2.0 V. This same termination voltage can also be used
for V
DD
= 2.5 V operation, or it can be terminated to V
DD
-1.5 V.
Note that it is also possible to terminate with 50 ohms to ground
(V
SS
), but the high and low signal levels differ from the data sheet
values. Termination resistors are best located close to the desti-
nation device. To avoid reflections, trace characteristic
impedance (Z
0
) should match the termination impedance.
Figure 10 shows a standard termination scheme.

Crystal Input Interface
The CY2XP31 is characterized with 18 pF parallel resonant
crystals. The capacitor values shown in Figure 11 are deter-
mined using a 25 MHz 18 pF parallel resonant crystal and are
chosen to minimize the ppm error. Note that the optimal values
for C1 and C2 depend on the parasitic trace capacitance and are
therefore layout dependent.
