The CDCLVP111-SP shown in Figure 7-1 is configured to be able to select 2 inputs, a 156.25MHz LVPECL clock from the backplane,
or a secondary 156.25MHz LVCMOS 2.5V oscillator. Either signal can be then fanned out to
desired devices, as shown.
The configuration example is driving 4 LVPECL receivers in a line card application with the following properties:
- The PHY device has internal AC coupling and
appropriate termination and biasing. The CDCLVP111-SP needs to be provided with 86Ω
emitter resistors near the driver for proper operation.
- The ASIC is capable of DC coupling with a 2.5V
LVPECL driver such as the CDCLVP111-SP. This ASIC features internal termination so no
additional components are needed.
- The FPGA requires external AC coupling but has
internal termination. Again, 86Ω emitter resistors are placed near the CDCLVP111-SP and a
0.1µF are placed to provide AC coupling. Similarly, the CPU is internally terminated and
requires external AC coupling capacitors.
