The SYNC pins support single-ended or
differential input in AC or DC coupling mode. The SYNC pins have an internal 50-Ω
termination with capacitive ground, which acts as 100-Ω differential.
Figure 8-1 shows the
generic SYNC input circuit recommendation to support all AC or DC, single-ended or
differential inputs. Some of the discrete components in fig 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 Thevenin'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 2.5-V VCC.
