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.
OUTPUTS:
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.
REF_CLK INPUT:
For applications not requiring the use of the reference clock,
it can be left floating. Though not required, but for additional
protection, a 1kΩ resistor can be tied from the REF_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.
TERMINATION FOR 3.3V LVPECL OUTPUT
The clock layout topology shown below is a typical ter-
mination 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. There-
fore, terminating 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 maxi-
mize operating frequency and minimize signal distor-
tion. 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 com-
patibility across all printed circuit and clock component
process variations.
