The SYSREFREQ pins support single-ended or
differential input in AC or DC coupling mode. The SYSREFREQ pins have an internal 50-Ω
termination with capacitive ground, which acts as 100-Ω differential.
Figure 7-1 shows the generic SYSREFREQ input circuit recommendation to support all AC/DC,
single-ended or differential inputs. Some of the discrete components in Figure 7-1 are just placeholder for individual input signal (single-ended or differential input) and
AC or DC coupled input.
The following figures show the individual circuit diagram for each configurations:

Input
- AC coupled differential and single-ended
input configurations required the resistor terminations (R2 and R3) to create the VCM at
each pin and resistor values must select to maintain greater than 150-mV potential
difference between pin P and pin N.
- As an example, to create the VCM of
1.5 V at pin P and 1.65 V at pin N, with the 2.5 V VCC, set R3 = 550 Ω and R2 = 1
kΩ
- For single-ended input
configuration, place R6 = 50 Ω to avoid any reflection at complementary input
pin.
- DC coupled differential and single-ended input configuration required to have the source
common-mode voltage matched with the device input common mode specifications.
- For single-ended input configuration,
keep the R1, R2, R3 and R4 resistors. This method creates the same common-mode voltage
at both pins, and the resistive dividers create 75 Ω at pin P and 50 Ω thevnin's
equivalent at pin N.
- As an example, to have the
common-mode voltage of 1.35 V at each pin, set the resistive divider components values
to R1 = 130 Ω, R2 = 165 Ω, R3 = 86.6 Ω and R4 = 110 Ω with the 2.5V VCC.
