The CDCLVP1212 is a low additive jitter LVPECL fanout buffer that can generate four copies of two selectable LVPECL, LVDS, or LVCMOS inputs. The CDCLVP1212 can accept reference clock frequencies up to 2 GHz while providing low output skew.
The CDCLVP1212 shown in Figure 20 is configured to be able to select two 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:
Refer to Input Termination for proper input terminations, dependent on single ended or differential inputs.
Refer to LVPECL Output Termination for output termination schemes depending on the receiver application.
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 Power Supply Recommendations for recommended filtering techniques. A reference layout is provided on the CDCLVP1212 Evaluation Module at SCAU036.
The low additive noise of the CDCLVP12xx can be shown in this line card application. The low noise 156.25-MHz XO with 32-fs RMS jitter drives the CDCLVP12xx, resulting in 57-fs RMS when integrated from 10 kHz to 20 MHz. The resultant additive jitter is a low 47-fs RMS for this configuration.
