If using a single-ended
output, terminate the complementary side with AC coupled to 50 Ω so that the
impedance for the signal output is same as complementary pin side.
GND pins on the outer
perimeter of the package can be routed on the package back to the DAP.
Minimize the length of the
CLKIN trace for optimal phase noise. Poor matching can degrade the noise
floor.
Verify that the DAP on the
device is well-grounded with many vias.
Use a low loss dielectric
material, such as Rogers 4350B, for optimal output power.
Be aware that if all the
outputs are enabled, the current consumption can be high enough to exceed
the recommended internal junction temperature of 125°C; a heat sink can be
necessary.
