The LMK00105 has a differential input (CLKin/CLKin*) that can accept AC or DC coupled 3.3V/2.5V LVPECL, LVDS, and other differential and single ended signals that meet the input requirements specified in Electrical Characteristics. The device can accept a wide range of signals due to its wide input common mode voltage range (VCM) and input voltage swing (VID)/dynamic range. AC coupling may also be employed to shift the input signal to within the VCM range.
To achieve the best possible phase noise and jitter performance, it is mandatory for the input to have a high slew rate of 2 V/ns (differential) or higher. Driving the input with a lower slew rate will degrade the noise floor and jitter. For this reason, a differential input signal is recommended over single-ended because it typically provides higher slew rate and common-mode noise rejection.
While it is recommended to drive the CLKin/CLKin* pair with a differential signal input, it is possible to drive it with a single-ended clock provided it conforms to the Single-Ended Input specifications for CLKin pins listed in the Electrical Characteristics. For large single-ended input signals, such as 3.3 V or 2.5 V LVCMOS, a 50 Ω load resistor should be placed near the input for signal attenuation to prevent input overdrive as well as for line termination to minimize reflections. The CLKin input has an internal bias voltage of about 1.4 V, so the input can be AC coupled as shown in Figure 6. The output impedance of the LVCMOS driver plus Rs should be close to 50 Ω to match the characteristic impedance of the transmission line and load termination.
A single-ended clock may also be DC coupled to CLKin as shown in Figure 7. A 50-Ω load resistor should be placed near the CLKin input for signal attenuation and line termination. Because half of the single-ended swing of the driver (VO,PP / 2) drives CLKin, CLKin* should be externally biased to the midpoint voltage of the attenuated input swing ((VO,PP / 2) × 0.5). The external bias voltage should be within the specified input common voltage (VCM) range. This can be achieved using external biasing resistors in the kΩ range (RB1 and RB2) or another low-noise voltage reference. This will ensure the input swing crosses the threshold voltage at a point where the input slew rate is the highest.
If the crystal oscillator circuit is not used, it is possible to drive the OSCin input with an single-ended external clock as shown in Figure 8. The input clock should be AC coupled to the OSCin pin, which has an internally generated input bias voltage, and the OSCout pin should be left floating. While OSCin provides an alternative input to multiplex an external clock, it is recommended to use either differential input (CLKin) since it offers higher operating frequency, better common mode, improved power supply noise rejection, and greater performance over supply voltage and temperature variations.
