The LMK1C110xA shown
in Figure 9-1 is configured to fan out a 100-MHz signal from a local LVCMOS
oscillator. The CPU is configured to control the output state
through 1G.
The configuration example is driving three LVCMOS receivers in a backplane application with the following properties:
- The CPU clock can accept a full swing DC-coupled
LVCMOS signal. A series resistor RS is
placed near the LMK1C110xA to closely match the characteristic
impedance of the trace to minimize reflections.
- The FPGA clock is similarly DC-coupled with an
appropriate series resistor placed near the LMK1C110xA.
- The PLL in this example can accept a lower
amplitude signal, so a Thevenin's equivalent
termination (pull up to VDD and pull down to GND) is
used. The PLL receiver features internal biasing, so
AC coupling can be used when common-mode voltage is
mismatched.
