Always route differential signals symmetrically, make sure there is enough keep-out space to the adjacent trace (>20mil.). In 156.25MHz XO drives IC example, it is better routing differential trace on component side as the following Fig. 2. REF_IN=/ REF_IN- Input Pins They can be left floating if unused. For added reliability, connect 1kΩ to GND. GND Keep out board vias VDD 150 2 3 4 GND Outputs All unused outputs are suggested to be left open and not connected to any trace. This can lower the IC power supply power. 156.25M XO *100 is optional if IC has VDD Pin Decoupling As general design rule, each VDD pin must have a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor. For better decoupling, 1uF can be used. Locating the decoupling capacitor on the component side has better decoupling filter result as shown in Fig. 1. VDD VDD REF_INVDD Clock IC Device manual routing.

Please consult ASIC datasheet if it already has 100ohm or equivalent internal termination. If so, do not connect external 100ohm across as shown in Fig. 8. This popular termination’s advantage is that it does not allow any bias through from VDD. This prevents VDD system noise coupling onto clock trace. LVPECL AC Thevenin terminations require a 150ohm pulldown before the AC coupling capacitor at the source as shown in Fig. 10. Note that pull-up/down resistor value is swapped compared to Fig. 9. This circuit is good for short trace (<5in.) application only. Fig. 10 LVPECL Output AC Thenvenin Termination Fig. 8 LVPECL Output Popular Termination LVPECL Output Drive HCSL Input LVPECL Output Thevenin Termination Using the LVPECL output to drive a HCSL input can be done using a typical LVPECL AC Thenvenin termination scheme. Use pull-up/down 450/60ohm to generate Vcm=0.4V for the HCSL input clock. This termination is equivalent to 50Ohm load as shown in Fig. 11. Fig. 9 shows LVPECL output Thevenin termination which is used for shorter trace drive (<5in.), but it takes VDD bias current and VDD noise can get onto clock trace. It also requires more component count. So it is seldom used today. Fig. 9 LVPECL Thevenin Output Termination 14-0181 Fig. 11 LVPECL Output Drive HCSL Termination 9 PI6C5916004 Rev C 10/27/2014 PI6C5916004 6 GHz 1:4 LVPECL Fanout Buffer with Internal Termination LVPECL Output V_swing Adjustment It is suggested to add another cross 100ohm at TX side to tune the LVPECL output V_swing without changing the optimal 150ohm pull-down bias in Fig. 12. This form of double termination can reduce the V_swing in ½ of the original at the RX side. By fine tuning the 100ohm resistor at the TX side with larger values like 150 to 200ohm, one can increase the V_swing by > 1/2 ratio. Device Thermal Calculation Fig. 13 shows the JEDEC thermal model in a 4-layer PCB. Fig. 13 JEDEC IC Thermal Model Important factors to influence device operating temperature are: 1) The power dissipation from the chip (P_chip) is after subtracting power dissipation from external loads. Generally it can be the no-load device Idd Fig. 12 LVPECL Output V_swing Adjustment 2) Package type and PCB stack-up structure, for example, 1oz 4 layer board. PCB with more layers and are thicker has better heat dissipation Clock Jitter Definitions Total jitter= RJ + DJ Random Jitter (RJ) is unpredictable and unbounded timing noise that can fit in a Gaussian math distribution in RMS. RJ test values are directly related with how long or how many test samples are available. Deterministic Jitter (DJ) is timing jitter that is predictable and periodic in fixed interference frequency. Total Jitter (TJ) is the combination of random jitter and deterministic jitter: , where is a factor based on total test sample count. JEDEC std. specifies digital clock TJ in 10k random samples. 3) Chassis air flow and cooling mechanism. More air flow M/s and adding heat sink on device can reduce device final die junction temperature Tj The individual device thermal calculation formula: Tj =Ta + Pchip x Ja Tc = Tj - Pchip x Jc Ja ___ Package thermal resistance from die to the ambient air in C/W unit; This data is provided in JEDEC model simulation. An air flow of 1m/s will reduce Ja (still air) by 20~30% Phase Jitter Phase noise is short-term random noise attached on the clock carrier and it is a function of the clock offset from the carrier, for example dBc/Hz@10kHz which is phase noise power in 1-Hz normalized bandwidth vs. the carrier power @10kHz offset. Integration of phase noise in plot over a given frequency band yields RMS phase jitter, for example, to specify phase jitter <=1ps at 12k to 20MHz offset band as SONET standard specification. Jc ___ Package thermal resistance from die to the package case in C/W unit Tj ___ Die junction temperature in C (industry limit <125C max.) Ta ___ Ambiant air température in C Tc ___ Package case temperature in C PCIe Ref_CLK Jitter Pchip___ IC actually consumes power through Iee/GND current PCIe reference clock jitter specification requires testing via the PCI-SIG jitter tool, which is regulated by US PCI-SIG organization. The jitter tool has PCIe Serdes embedded filter to calculate the equivalent jitter that relates to data link eye closure. Direct peak-peak jitter or phase jitter test data, normally is higher than jitter measure using PCI-SIG jitter tool. It has high-frequency jitter and low-frequency jitter spec. limit.

Step 3: P_total= 3.3Vx40mA=0.132W Step 4: If Ta=85C Tj= 85 + Ja xP_total= 85+25.9 = 105.7C Tc= Tj + Jc xP_total= 105.7- 5.54 = 100.1C Note: The above calculation is directly using Idd current without subtracting the load power, so it is a conservative estimation. For more precise thermal calculation, use P_unload or P_chip from device Iee or GND current to calculate Tj, especially for LVPECL buffer ICs that have a 150ohm pull-down and equivalent 100ohm differential RX load. 14-0181 11 PI6C5916004 Rev C 10/27/2014 PI6C5916004 6 GHz 1:4 LVPECL Fanout Buffer with Internal Termination Packaging Mechanical: 16-pin TQFN (ZH) Ordering Information(1,2,3) Ordering Code Package Code Package Description PI6C5916004ZHIE ZH Pb-free & Green, 16-pin QFN Notes: 1.
