2.6 Output Connections

All CLKOUT connections are AC-coupled and can be connected directly to RF instruments with 0VDC requirements; an additional DC block is not required. If using CLKOUT single ended, then the unused CLKOUT SMA connector must be terminated with a 50Ω load. A differential connection for CLKOUT can be used if a balun with a proper frequency range is available.

Recommended oscilloscope connections include one CLKOUT and AUXOUT.

Other unused CLKOUT SMA connectors needs to be terminated with 50Ω single-ended or 100Ω differential load, or alternately needs to be disabled in software, to minimize unterminated output effects on performance.
