The CDCLVP111-SEP EVM is designed to allow implementation of flexible input biasing. By default, the board is configured with two 50Ω resistors to LVPECL bias level (VCC-2 V, earth ground) for both CLK inputs. This configuration allows for direct use of LVPECL drivers.
The board also is designed to allow AC-coupled LVDS inputs. This is accomplished by the by having the LVDS input signal AC coupled with the corresponding 50Ohm to GND termination populated on both intra-pairs of CLKx pins.
The final termination option is to allow single-ended input to drive CLKx. A few 0Ω resistors, R8,R10,R14,R17, can be added to the circuit to connect VBB output to the unused pin of CLKx.
