LOW SKEW, 1-TO-11 DIFFERENTIAL-TO-3.3V LVPECL
CLOCK MULTIPLIER / ZERO DELAY BUFFER
APPLICATION INFORMATION
As in any high speed analog circuitry, the power supply pins
are vulnerable to random noise. The ICS8731-01 provides
separate power supplies to isolate any high switching
noise from the outputs to the internal PLL. V
CC, VCCA, and VCCO
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 1 illustrates how
a 10
Ω resistor along with a 10μF and a .01μF bypass
capacitor should be connected to each V
CCA pin.

Figure 2 shows how the differential input can be wired to accept
single ended levels. The reference voltage V_REF = V
CC/2 is
generated by the bias resistors R1, R2 and C1. This bias circuit
should be located as close as possible to the input pin. The ratio

WIRING THE DIFFERENTIAL INPUT TO ACCEPT SINGLE ENDED LEVELS
of R1 and R2 might need to be adjusted to position the V_REF in
the center of the input voltage swing. For example, if the input
clock swing is only 2.5V and V
CC = 3.3V, V_REF should be 1.25V
and R2/R1 = 0.609.
