TERMINATION FOR 3.3V LVPECL OUTPUTS
The clock layout topology shown below is a typical termi-
nation for LVPECL outputs. The two different layouts men-
tioned are recommended only as guidelines.
FOUT and nFOUT are low impedance follower outputs that
generate ECL/LVPECL compatible outputs. Therefore, ter-
minating resistors (DC current path to ground) or current
sources must be used for functionality. These outputs are
designed to drive 50Ω transmission lines. Matched imped-
ance techniques should be used to maximize operating
frequency and minimize signal distortion. Figures 3A and
3B show two different layouts which are recommended
only as guidelines. Other suitable clock layouts may exist
and it would be recommended that the board designers
simulate to guarantee compatibility across all printed cir-
cuit and clock component process variations.
