Interfacing With Other Differential Signaling Levels

The following list provides information about interfacing with other differential signaling levels.

•

With on-chip termination to SGND_SRDSn (xcorevss), the differential reference clocks inputs are

HCSL (high-speed current steering logic) compatible DC-coupled.

•

Many other low voltage differential type outputs like LVDS (low voltage differential signaling) can

be used but may need to be AC-coupled due to the limited common mode input range allowed

(100 mV to 400 mV) for DC-coupled connection.

•

LVPECL outputs can produce signal with too large amplitude and may need to be DC-biased at

clock driver output first, then followed with series attenuation resistor to reduce the amplitude, in

addition to AC-coupling.
