Applications Information

Recommendations for Unused Input and Output Pins

Inputs:

LVCMOS Control Pins

All control pins have internal pullup or pulldown; additional

resistance is not required but can be added for additional protection.

A 1k

 resistor can be used.

CLK/nCLK Inputs

For applications not requiring the use of the all differential inputs,

any CLK/nCLK input can be left floating. Though not required, but for

additional protection, a 1k

 resistor can be tied from CLK to ground.

Outputs:

The unused differential output can be left floating. We recommend

that there is no trace attached. Both sides of the differential output

pair should either be left floating or terminated.

Wiring the Differential Input to Accept Single-Ended Levels

Figure 1 shows how a differential input can be wired to accept single

bias resistors R1 and R2. The bypass capacitor (C1) is used to help

filter noise on the DC bias. This bias circuit should be located as

close to the input pin as possible. The ratio of R1 and R2 might need

same voltage. This configuration requires that the sum of the output

impedance of the driver (Ro) and the series resistance (Rs) equals

the transmission line impedance. In addition, matched termination at

the input will attenuate the signal in half. This can be done in one of

two ways. First, R3 and R4 in parallel should equal the transmission

line impedance. For most 50

 applications, R3 and R4 can be

100

. The values of the resistors can be increased to reduce the

loading for slower and weaker LVCMOS driver. When using

single-ended signaling, the noise rejection benefits of differential

signaling are reduced. Even though the differential input can handle

full rail LVCMOS signaling, it is recommended that the amplitude be

reduced. The datasheet specifies a lower differential amplitude,

however this only applies to differential signals. For single-ended

of the recommended components might not be used, the pads

should be placed in the layout. They can be utilized for debugging

purposes. The datasheet specifications are characterized and

guaranteed by using a differential signal.
