The CDCLVP111 is a low-additive jitter LVPECL fanout buffer that can generate 5 copies of 2 selectable LVDS, CML or SSTL inputs. The CDCLVP111 can accept reference clock frequencies up to 3.5 GHz while providing low-output skew.
The CDCLVP111 shown in Figure 7 is configured to be able to select 2 inputs, a 156.25-MHz LVPECL clock from the backplane, or a secondary 156.25-MHz LVCMOS 2.5-V oscillator. Either signal can be then fanned out to desired devices, as shown.
The configuration example is driving 4 LVPECL receivers in a line card application with the following properties:
Unused outputs can be left floating.
In this example, the PHY, ASIC, and FPGA/CPU require different schemes. Power-supply filtering and bypassing is critical for low-noise applications.
See Figure 18 for recommended filtering techniques.
Refer to Figure 8 for output termination schemes depending on the receiver application.
The CDCLVP111 inputs can be interfaced with LVPECL, LVDS, or LVCMOS drivers. Figure 10 illustrates how to DC couple an LVCMOS input to the CDCLVP111. The series resistance (RS) should be placed close to the LVCMOS driver; the value is calculated as the difference between the transmission line impedance and the driver output impedance.
Refer to Figure 10 for proper input terminations, dependent on single ended or differential inputs.
Figure 11 shows how to DC couple LVDS inputs to the CDCLVP111. Figure 12 and Figure 13 describe the method of DC coupling LVPECL inputs to the CDCLVP111 for VCC = 2.5 V and VCC = 3.3 V, respectively.
Figure 14 and Figure 15 show the technique of AC coupling differential inputs to the CDCLVP111 for VCC = 2.5 V and VCC = 3.3 V, respectively. TI recommends to place all resistive components close to either the driver end or the receiver end. If the supply voltages of the driver and receiver are different, AC coupling is required.
The CDCLVP111 low-additive noise can be shown in this line card application. The low-noise, 156.25-MHz signal with 53-fs RMS jitter drives the CDCLVP111, resulting in 86-fs RMS when integrated from 10 kHz to 20 MHz. The resultant-additive jitter is a low 68-fs RMS for this configuration.
