FEMTOCLOCKS™ CRYSTAL-TO-LVDS FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER
LVCMOS TO XTAL INTERFACE
The XTAL_IN input can accept a single-ended LVCMOS signal
through an AC coupling capacitor. A general interface diagram is
shown in Figure 3. The XTAL_OUT pin can be left floating. The
input edge rate can be as slow as 10ns. For LVCMOS inputs, it is
recommended that the amplitude be reduced from full swing to
half swing in order to prevent signal interference with the power
rail and to reduce noise. This configuration requires that the output
impedance of the driver (Ro) plus the series resistance (Rs) equals
the transmission line impedance. In addition, matched termination
at the crystal input will attenuate the signal in half. This can be
done in one of two ways. First, R1 and R2 in parallel should equal
the transmission line impedance. For most 50Ω applications, R1
and R2 can be 100Ω. This can also be accomplished by removing
R1 and making R2 50Ω.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UNUSED INPUT AND OUTPUT PINS
INPUTS:
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 1kΩ resistor can be tied
from XTAL_IN to ground.
OUTPUTS:
LVDS Outputs
All unused LVDS output pairs can be either left floating or
terminated with 100Ω across. If they are left floating, we
recommend that there is no trace attached.
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.
