APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 2 shows how the differential input can be wired to accept
single ended levels. The reference voltage V_REF ~ V
CC
/2 is
generated by the bias resistors R1, R2 and C1. This bias circuit
should be located as close as possible to the input pin. The ratio
FIGURE 2. SINGLE ENDED SIGNAL DRIVING DIFFERENTIAL INPUT
WIRING THE DIFFERENTIAL INPUT TO ACCEPT SINGLE ENDED LEVELS
of R1 and R2 might need to be adjusted to position the V_REF
in the center of the input voltage swing. For example, if the input
clock swing is only 2.5V and V
CC
= 3.3V, V_REF should be 1.25V
and R2/R1 = 0.609.

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,
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 3A and 3B 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:
CLK/nCLK INPUT:
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.
PCLK/nPCLK I
NPUT:
For applications not requiring the use of a differential input,
both the PCLK and nPCLK pins can be left fl oating. Though not
required, but for additional protection, a 1kΩ resistor can be tied
from PCLK 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.
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.

POWER CONSIDERATIONS
This section provides information on power dissipation and junction temperature for the 8737I-11.
Equations and example calculations are also provided.
1. Power Dissipation.
The total power dissipation for the 8737I-11 is the sum of the core power plus the power dissipated in the load(s).
The following is the power dissipation for V
CC
= 3.3V + 5% = 3.465V, which gives worst case results.
NOTE: Please refer to Section 3 for details on calculating power dissipated in the load.
Power (core)
MAX
= V
CC_MAX
* I
CC_MAX
= 3.465V * 55mA = 190.6mW
Power (outputs)
MAX
= 30mW/Loaded Output pair
If all outputs are loaded, the total power is 4 * 30mW = 120mW
Total Power
_MAX
(3.465V, with all outputs switching) = 190.6mW + 120mW = 310.6mW
2. Junction Temperature.
Junction temperature, Tj, is the temperature at the junction of the bond wire and bond pad and directly affects the reliability of
the device. The maximum recommended junction temperature for the devices is 125°C.
The equation for Tj is as follows: Tj = θ
JA
* Pd_total + T
A
Tj = Junction Temperature
θ
JA
= Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
Pd_total = Total Device Power Dissipation (example calculation is in section 1 above)
T
A
= Ambient Temperature
In order to calculate junction temperature, the appropriate junction-to-ambient thermal resistance θ
JA
must be used
. Assuming
a moderate air fl ow of 200 linear feet per minute and a multi-layer board, the appropriate value is 66.6°C/W per Table 6 below.
Therefore, Tj for an ambient temperature of 85°C with all outputs switching is:
85°C + 0.311W * 66.6°C/W = 105.7°C. This is well below the limit of 125°C
This calculation is only an example. Tj will obviously vary depending on the number of loaded outputs, supply voltage, air fl ow,
and the type of board (single layer or multi-layer).

NOTE: Most modern PCB designs use multi-layered boards. The data in the second row pertains to most designs.
