6.3.18.2.1 SYSREF Output Format

The SYSREF output comes in differential format through RFoutB. This has a minimum voltage of about 2.3 V and a maximum of 3.3 V. If DC coupling can not be used, there are two strategies for AC coupling.

  1. Send a series of pulses to establish a DC-bias level across the AC-coupling capacitor.
  2. Establish a bias voltage at the data converter that is below the threshold voltage by using a resistive divider.
