TERMINATION FOR 3.3V LVPECL OUTPUT
The clock layout topology shown below is a typical termina-
tion for LVPECL outputs. The two different layouts mentioned
are recommended only as guidelines.
FOUTx and nFOUTx are low impedance follower outputs that
generate ECL/LVPECL compatible outputs.Therefore, terminat-
ing resistors (DC current path to ground) or current sources
must be used for functionality. These outputs are designed to
drive 50Ω transmission lines. Matched impedance techniques
should be used to maximize operating frequency and minimize
signal distortion. Figures 6A and 6B 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
circuit and clock component process variations.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UNUSED INPUT AND OUTPUT PINS
INPUTS:
CRYSTAL INPUT:
For applications not requiring the use of the crystal oscillator
input, both XTAL_IN and XTAL_OUT can be left floating.
Though not required, but for additional protection, a 1kΩ
resistor can be tied from XTAL_IN to ground.
CLK INPUT:
For applications not requiring the use of a clock input, it can
be left floating. Though not required, but for additional
protection, a 1kΩ resistor can be tied from the CLK input to
ground.
OUTPUTS:
LVCMOS OUTPUT:
All unused LVCMOS output can be left floating. We
recommend that there is no trace attached.
LVPECL OUTPUT
All unused LVPECL outputs can be left floating. We
recommend that there is no trace attached. Both sides of the
differential output pair should either be left floating or
terminated.
CLK/nCLK INPUT:
For applications not requiring the use of the differential input,
both CLK and nCLK can be left floating. Though not required,
but for additional protection, a 1kΩ resistor can be tied from
CLK to ground.
LVCMOS CONTROL PINS:
All control pins have internal pull-ups or pull-downs; additional
resistance is not required but can be added for additional
protection. A 1kΩ resistor can be used.
