Applications Information
Recommendations for Unused Input Pins
Inputs:
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 1k
resistor can be tied from the REF_CLK to ground.
Crystal Inputs
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 1k resistor can be tied from
XTAL_IN to ground.
LVCMOS Control Pins
All control pins have internal pulldowns; additional resistance is not
required but can be added for additional protection. A 1k resistor
can be used.
Outputs:
LVDS Outputs
All unused LVDS output pairs can be either left floating or terminated
with 100 across. If they are left floating, we recommend that there
is no trace attached.
Differential Outputs
All unused differential 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.
Interface to IDT S-RIO Switches
The 841N254B is designed for driving the differential reference clock
input (REF_CLK) of IDT’s S-RIO 1.3 and 2.0 switch devices. Both the
LVDS and the HCSL outputs of the ICS841N254BI have the low-jitter,
differential voltage and impedance characteristics required to provide
a high-quality 156.25MHz clock signal for both S-RIO 1.3 and 2.0
switch devices. Please refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1B for
suggested interfaces. The interfaces differ by the driving output,
LVDS and HCSL, and the corresponding source termination method.
In both Figure 1A and 1B, the AC-coupling capacitors are mandatory
by the IDT S-RIO switch devices. The differential REF_CLK input is
internally re-biased and AC-terminated. Both interface circuits are
optimized for 50 transmission lines and generate the voltage swing
required to reliably drive the clock reference input of a IDT S-RIO
switch. Please refer to IDT’s S-RIO device datasheet for more details.
Figure 1A shows the recommended interface circuit for driving the
156.25MHz reference clock of an IDT S-RIO 2.0 switch by a LVDS
output (QA0, QA1) of the ICS841N254BI. The LVDS-to-differential
interface as shown in Figure 1A does not require any external
termination resistors: the ICS841N254BI driver contains an internal
source termination at QA0 and QA1. The differential REF_CLK input
contains an internal AC-termination (RL) and re-bias (VBIAS).
Figure 4B shows the interface circuit for driving the 156.25MHz
reference clock of an IDT S-RIO 2.0 switch by an HCSL output of the
841N254B (QB0, QB1): The HCSL-to-differential interface requires
external termination resistors (22...33 and 50) for source
termination, which should be placed close the driver (QB0, QB1).
