SCAS946B November 2016 – March 2025 CDCLVP111-SP
PRODUCTION DATA
The CDCLVP111-SP is an open emitter for LVPECL outputs. Therefore, proper biasing and termination are required to provide correct operation of the device and to minimize signal integrity. The proper termination for LVPECL outputs is 50Ω to (VCC – 2), but this DC voltage is not readily available on PCB. Therefore, a Thevenin equivalent circuit is worked out for the LVPECL termination in both direct-coupled (DC) and AC-coupled configurations. These configurations are shown in Figure 7-2 (a and b) for VCC = 2.5V and Figure 7-3 (a and b) for VCC = 3.3V, respectively. TI recommends to place all resistive components close to either the driver end or the receiver end. If the supply voltage for the driver and receiver is different, AC coupling is required.
