APPLICATION INFORMATION
POWER SUPPLY FILTERING TECHNIQUES
As in any high speed analog circuitry, the power supply pins
are vulnerable to random noise. The ICS8430-61 provides
separate power supplies to isolate any high switching
noise from the outputs to the internal PLL. V_CC, V_CCA, and V_CCO
should be individually connected to the power supply
plane through vias, and bypass capacitors should be
used for each pin. To achieve optimum jitter performance,
power supply isolation is required. Figure 2 illustrates how
a 10Ω resistor along with a 10µF and a .01µF bypass
capacitor should be connected to each V_CCA pin.

TERMINATION FOR LVPECL OUTPUTS
The clock layout topology shown below is a typical termina-
tion for LVPECL outputs. The two different layouts mentioned
are recommended only as guidelines.
FOUT and nFOUT are low impedance follower outputs that
generate ECL/LVPECL compatible outputs. Therefore, termi-
nating 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 mini-
mize signal distortion. There are a few simple termination
schemes. Figures 3A and 3B show two different layouts which
are recommended only as guidelines. Other suitable clock lay-
outs may exist and it would be recommended that the board
designers simulate to guarantee compatibility across all printed
circuit and clock component process variations.
