PRODUCTION DATA.
LVDS-like: All outputs Y[7:0] support LVDS-like signaling. The actual output stage uses a CML structure and drives a signal swing identical to LVDS (approximately 350 mV). The output slew rate is faster than standard LVDS for best jitter performance. The LVDS-like outputs should be AC-coupled when interfacing to a LVDS receiver. See reference schematic Figure 69 for an example. The supply voltage for outputs configured LVDS can be selected freely between 1.8 V and 3.3 V.
LVPECL-like: Outputs Y[3:0] support LVPECL-like signaling. The actual output stage uses a CML structure but drives the same signal amplitude and rise time as true emitter coupled logic output stages. The LVPECL-like outputs should be AC-coupled, and contrary to standard PECL designs, no external termination resistor to VCC-2V is used (fewer components for lowest BOM cost). See reference schematic Figure 69 for an example. The supply voltage for outputs configured LVPECL-like is recommended to be 3.3 V, though even 1.8 V provides nearly the same output swing and performance at much lower power consumption.
CML: Outputs Y[3:0] support standard CML signaling. The supply voltage for outputs configured CML can be selected freely between 1.8 V and 3.3 V. A true CML receiver can be driven DC coupled. All other differential receiver should connected using AC coupling. See reference schematic Figure 69 for a circuit example.
HCSL: Outputs Y[7:4] support HCSL signaling. The supply voltage for outputs configured HCSL can be selected freely between 1.8 V and 3.3 V. HCSL is referenced to GND, and requires external 50-Ω termination to GND. See the reference schematic for an example.
CMOS: Outputs Y[7:4] support 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V CMOS signaling. A fast or reduced slew rate can be selected through register programming. Each differential output port can drive one or two CMOS output signals. Both signals are in-phase, meaning their phase offset is zero degrees, and not 180˚. The output swing is set by providing the according supply voltage (for example, if VDD_Y4=2.5 V, the output swing on Y4 will be 2.5-V CMOS). Outputs configured for CMOS should only be terminated with a series-resistor near the device output to preserve the full signal swing. Terminating CMOS signals with a 50-Ω resistor to GND would reduce the output signal swing significantly.
