PRODUCTION DATA.
The CLKin/OSCin pins of the LMK0482x family can be driven using a single-ended reference clock source; for example, either a sine wave source or an LVCMOS/LVTTL source. For the CLKin pins, either AC coupling or DC coupling may be used. For the OSCin pins, AC coupling is required. In the case of the sine wave source that is expecting a 50-Ω load, TI recommends using AC coupling, as shown in the circuit below with a 50-Ω termination.
NOTE
The signal level must conform to the requirements for the CLKin/OSCin pins listed in Electrical Characteristics. CLKinX_TYPE is recommended to be set to bipolar mode (CLKinX_TYPE = 0). OSCin is hard-wired to bipolar mode.
If the CLKin pins are being driven with a single-ended LVCMOS/LVTTL source, either DC coupling or AC coupling may be used. If DC coupling is used, the CLKinX_TYPE should be set to MOS buffer mode (CLKinX_TYPE = 1), and the voltage swing of the source must meet the specifications for DC-coupled, MOS-mode clock inputs given in Electrical Characteristics. If AC coupling is used, the CLKinX_TYPE should be set to the bipolar buffer mode (CLKinX_TYPE = 0), and the voltage swing at the input pins must meet the specifications for AC-coupled, bipolar-mode clock inputs given in Electrical Characteristics. In AC-coupled bipolar mode, some attenuation of the clock input level may be required. A simple resistive divider circuit before the AC coupling capacitor is sufficient.
