The clock output pairs of the LMK3H0102 are routed via 50-Ω single-ended traces to SMA ports (OUT[1:0]_P/OUT[1:0]_N). These outputs have series resistor (0-Ω populated) options. The default output configuration for the LMK3H0102EVM is AC-coupled LP-HCSL for OUT0 and DC-coupled LP-HCSL for OUT1. Each of these outputs can be configured for AC-LVDS, DC-LVDS, LP-HCSL, and LVCMOS output formats per the Output Format Types section of the LMK3H0102 data sheet.
The REF_CTRL pin of the LMK3H0102 can be configured as an additional LVCMOS clock, REF_CLK, allowing for up to five LVCMOS clock outputs. The REF_CLK output is routed to the REFCLK SMA port through a 33-Ω series resistor, with the option for a 10 pF capacitor to GND.
The output high level of the OUT0 and OUT1 LVCMOS outputs are set by the voltage on the VDDO plane. The output high level of the REF_CLK output is set by the voltage on the VDD plane.
