Application Information
Decoupling Capacitors
As with any high-performance mixed-signal IC, the
5V41236 must be isolated from system power supply noise
to perform optimally.
Decoupling capacitors of 0.01µF must be connected
between each VDD and the PCB ground plane.
Load Resistors R
L
Since the clock outputs are open source outputs, 50
external resistors to ground are to be connected at each
clock output.
Output Termination
The PCI-Express differential clock outputs of the 5V41236
are open source drivers and require an external series
resistor and a resistor to ground. These resistor values and
their allowable locations are shown in detail in the
PCI-Express Layout Guidelines
section.
The 5V41236 can also be configured for LVDS compatible
voltage levels. See the
LVDS Compatible Layout
Guidelines
section.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output phase
noise, the following guidelines should be observed.
Each 0.01µF decoupling capacitor should be mounted on
the component side of the board as close to the VDD pin as
possible. No vias should be used between decoupling
capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB trace to VDD pin should
be kept as short as possible, as should the PCB trace to the
ground via. Distance of the ferrite bead and bulk decoupling
from the device is less critical.
2) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other signal
layers (the ferrite bead and bulk decoupling capacitor can
be mounted on the back). Other signal traces should be
routed away from the 5V41236.
This includes signal traces just underneath the device, or on
layers adjacent to the ground plane layer used by the
device.
External Components
A minimum number of external components are required for
proper operation. Decoupling capacitors of 0.01F should
be connected between VDD and GND pairs (1,9 and 15,16)
as close to the device as possible.
On chip capacitors-
Crystal capacitors should be
connected from pins X1 to ground and X2 to ground to
optimize the initial accuracy. The value (in pf) of these
crystal caps equal (C
L
- 12) × 2 in this equation, C
L
= crystal
load capacitance in pf. For example, for a crystal with a
16pF load cap, each external crystal cap would be 8pF.
[(16 - 12) × 2] = 8.
Current Reference Source R
r
(Iref)
If board target trace impedance (Z) is 50, then Rr = 475
(1%), providing IREF of 2.32mA, output current (I
OH
) is
equal to 6 × IREF.
