LMK03000 Family
Precision Clock Conditioner with Integrated VCO
General Description
Features
The LMK03000 family of precision clock conditioners combine the functions of jitter cleaning/reconditioning, multiplication, and distribution of a reference clock. The devices
integrate a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), a high performance Integer-N Phase Locked Loop (PLL), a partially
integrated loop filter, and up to eight outputs in various LVDS
and LVPECL combinations.
The VCO output is optionally accessible on the Fout port. Internally, the VCO output goes through a VCO Divider to feed
the various clock distribution blocks.
Each clock distribution block includes a programmable divider, a phase synchronization circuit, a programmable delay,
a clock output mux, and an LVDS or LVPECL output buffer.
This allows multiple integer-related and phase-adjusted
copies of the reference to be distributed to eight system components.
The clock conditioners come in a 48-pin LLP package and are
footprint compatible with other clocking devices in the same
family.

Note 4: The Electrical Characteristics table lists guaranteed specifications under the listed Recommended Operating Conditions except as otherwise modified
or specified by the Electrical Characteristics Conditions and/or Notes. Typical specifications are estimations only and are not guaranteed.
Note 5: See 3.5 for more current consumption / power dissipation calculation information.
Note 6: A specification in modeling PLL in-band phase noise is the 1/f flicker noise, LPLL_flicker(f), which is dominant close to the carrier. Flicker noise has a 10
dB/decade slope. PN10kHz is normalized to a 10 kHz offset and a 1 GHz carrier frequency. PN10kHz = LPLL_flicker(10 kHz) - 20log(Fout / 1 GHz), where LPLL_flicker
(f) is the single side band phase noise of only the flicker noise's contribution to total noise, L(f). To measure LPLL_flicker(f) it is important to be on the 10 dB/decade
slope close to the carrier. A high compare frequency and a clean crystal are important to isolating this noise source from the total phase noise, L(f). LPLL_flicker(f)
can be masked by the reference oscillator performance if a low power or noisy source is used. The total PLL inband phase noise performance is the sum of
LPLL_flicker(f) and LPLL_flat(f).
Note 7: A specification in modeling PLL in-band phase noise is the Normalized Phase Noise Contribution, LPLL_flat(f), of the PLL and is defined as PN1Hz =
LPLL_flat(f) – 20log(N) – 10log(fCOMP). LPLL_flat(f) is the single side band phase noise measured at an offset frequency, f, in a 1 Hz Bandwidth and fCOMP is the phase
detector frequency of the synthesizer. LPLL_flat(f) contributes to the total noise, L(f). To measure LPLL_flat(f) the offset frequency, f, must be chosen sufficiently
smaller then the loop bandwidth of the PLL, and yet large enough to avoid a substantial noise contribution from the reference and flicker noise. LPLL_flat(f) can be
masked by the reference oscillator performance if a low power or noisy source is used.
Note 8: Allowable Temperature Drift for Continuous Lock is how far the temperature can drift in either direction and stay in lock from the ambient temperature
and programmed state at which the device was when register R15 was programmed. The action of programming the R15 register, even to the same value,
activates a frequency calibration routine. This implies that the device will work over the entire frequency range, but if the temperature drifts more than the maximum
allowable drift for continuous lock, then it will be necessary to reprogram the R15 register to ensure that the device stays in lock. Regardless of what temperature
the device was initially programmed at, the ambient temperature can never drift outside the range of -40 °C ≤ TA ≤ 85 °C without violating specifications. For
this specification to be valid, the programmed state of the device must not change after R15 is programmed.
Note 9: The lower sensitivity indicates the typical sensitivity at the lower end of the tuning range, the higher sensitivity at the higher end of the tuning range
Note 10: Output power varies as a function of frequency. When a range is shown, the higher output power applies to the lower frequency and the lower output
power applies to the higher frequency.
Note 11: VCO phase noise is measured assuming the VCO is the dominant noise source due to a 75 Hz loop bandwidth. Over frequency, the phase noise typically
varies by 1 to 2 dB, with the worst case performance typically occurring at the highest frequency. Over temperature, the phase noise typically varies by 1 to 2 dB,
assuming the device is not reprogrammed. Reprogramming R15 will run the frequency calibration routine for optimum phase noise.
Note 12: The Clock Distribution Section includes all parts of the device except the PLL and VCO sections. Typical Additive Jitter specifications apply to the clock
distribution section only and this adds in an RMS fashion to the shaped jitter of the PLL and the VCO.
Note 13: For CLKout frequencies above 1 GHz, the delay should be limited to one half of a period. For 1 GHz and below, the maximum delay can be used.
Note 14: Specification is guaranteed by characterization and is not tested in production.
Note 15: Applies to GOE, LD, and SYNC*.
Note 16: Applies to CLKuWire, DATAuWire, and LEuWire.
Serial Data Timing Diagram
20211403
Data bits set on the DATAuWire signal are clocked into a shift register, MSB first, on each rising edge of the CLKuWire signal. On
the rising edge of the LEuWire signal, the data is sent from the shift register to the addressed register determined by the LSB bits.
After the programming is complete the CLKuWire, DATAuWire, and LEuWire signals should be returned to a low state. It is recommended that the slew rate of CLKuWire, DATAuWire, and LEuWire should be at least 30 V/µs.

Note 19: The noise of the delay block is independent of output type and only applies if the delay is enabled. The noise floor due to the distribution section

programming EN_CLKout_Global to 0.
The duty cycle of the LVDS and LVPECL clock outputs are
shown in the table below.
1.0 Functional Description
The LMK03000 family of precision clock conditioners combine the functions of jitter cleaning/reconditioning, multiplication, and distribution of a reference clock. The devices
integrate a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), a high performance Integer-N Phase Locked Loop (PLL), a partially
integrated loop filter, three LVDS, and five LVPECL clock output distribution blocks.
The devices include internal 3rd and 4th order poles to simplify loop filter design and improve spurious performance. The
1st and 2nd order poles are off-chip to provide flexibility for
the design of various loop filter bandwidths.
The LMK03000 family has multiple options for VCO frequencies. The VCO output is optionally accessible on the Fout port.
Internally, the VCO output goes through an VCO Divider to
feed the various clock distribution blocks.
Each clock distribution block includes a programmable divider, a phase synchronization circuit, a programmable delay,
a clock output mux, and an LVDS or LVPECL output buffer.
This allows multiple integer-related and phase-adjusted
copies of the reference to be distributed to eight system components.
The clock conditioners come in a 48-pin LLP package and are
footprint compatible with other clocking devices in the same
family.

1.7 GLOBAL CLOCK OUTPUT SYNCHRONIZATION
The SYNC* pin synchronizes the clock outputs. When the
SYNC* pin is held in a logic low state, the divided outputs are
also held in a logic low state. The bypassed outputs will continue to operate normally. Shortly after the SYNC* pin goes
high, the divided clock outputs are activated and will all transition to a high state simultaneously. All the outputs, divided
and bypassed, will now be synchronized. Clocks in the bypassed state are not affected by SYNC* and are always
synchronized with the divided outputs.
The SYNC* pin must be held low for greater than one clock
cycle of the output of the VCO Divider, also known as the
distribution path. Once this low event has been registered, the
outputs will not reflect the low state for four more cycles. This
means that the outputs will be low on the fifth rising edge of
the distribution path. Similarly once the SYNC* pin becomes
high, the outputs will not simultaneously transition high until
four more distribution path clock cycles have passed, which
is the fifth rising edge of the distribution path. See the timing
diagram in Figure 1 for further detail. The clocks are programmed as CLKout0_MUX = Bypassed, CLKout1_MUX =
Divided, CLKout1_DIV = 2, CLKout2_MUX = Divided, and
CLKout2_DIV = 4. To synchronize the outputs, after the low
SYNC* event has been registered, it is not required to wait for
the outputs to go low before SYNC* is set high.
1.1 BIAS PIN
To properly use the device, bypass Bias (pin 36) with a low
leakage 1 µF capacitor connected to Vcc. This is important
for low noise performance.
1.2 LDO BYPASS
To properly use the device, bypass LDObyp1 (pin 9) with a
10 µF capacitor and LDObyp2 (pin 10) with a 0.1 µF capacitor.
1.3 OSCILLATOR INPUT PORT (OSCin, OSCin*)
The purpose of OSCin is to provide the PLL with a reference
signal. Due to an internal DC bias the OSCin port should be
AC coupled, refer to the System Level Diagram in the Application Information section. The OSCin port may be driven
single-endedly by AC grounding OSCin* with a 0.1 µF capacitor.
1.4 LOW NOISE, FULLY INTEGRATED VCO
The LMK03000 family of devices contain a fully integrated
VCO. In order for proper operation the VCO uses a frequency
calibration algorithm. The frequency calibration algorithm is
activated any time that the R15 register is programmed. Once
R15 is programmed the temperature may not drift more than
the maximum allowable drift for continuous lock, ΔTCL, or else
the VCO is not guaranteed to stay in lock.
For the frequency calibration algorithm to work properly OSCin must be driven by a valid signal when R15 is programmed.

1.5 CLKout DELAYS
Each individual clock output includes a delay adjustment.
Clock output delay registers (CLKoutX_DLY) support a 150
ps step size and range from 0 to 2250 ps of total delay.
The SYNC* pin provides an internal pull-up resistor as shown
on the functional block diagram. If the SYNC* pin is not terminated externally the clock outputs will operate normally. If
the SYNC* function is not used, clock output synchronization
is not guaranteed.
1.6 LVDS/LVPECL OUTPUTS
By default all the clock outputs are disabled until programmed.
Each LVDS or LVPECL output may be disabled individually
by programming the CLKoutX_EN bits. All the outputs may

When an LVDS output is in the Off state, the outputs are at a
voltage of approximately 1.5 volts. When an LVPECL output
is in the Off state, the outputs are at a voltage of approximately
1 volt.
1.9 GLOBAL OUTPUT ENABLE AND LOCK DETECT
The GOE pin provides an internal pull-up resistor as shown
on the functional block diagram. If it is not terminated externally, the clock output states are determined by the Clock
Output

bits
(CLKoutX_EN)
and
the
EN_CLKout_Global bit.
By programming the PLL_MUX register to Digital Lock Detect
Active High, the Lock Detect (LD) pin can be connected to the
GOE pin in which case all outputs are set low automatically if
the synthesizer is not locked.
1.10 POWER ON RESET
When supply voltage to the device increases monotonically
from ground to Vcc, the power on reset circuit sets all registers
to their default values, see the programming section for more
information on default register values. Voltage should be applied to all Vcc pins simultaneously.
1.11 DIGITAL LOCK DETECT
The PLL digital lock detect circuitry compares the difference
between the phase of the inputs of the phase detector to a
RC generated delay of ε. To indicate a locked state the phase
error must be less than the ε RC delay for 5 consecutive reference cycles. Once in lock, the RC delay is changed to
approximately δ. To indicate an out of lock state, the phase
error must become greater δ. The values of ε and δ are shown
in the table below:
ε
10 ns
δ
20 ns
To utilize the digital lock detect feature, PLL_MUX must be
programmed for "Digital Lock Detect (Active High)" or "Digital
Lock Detect (Active Low)." When one of these modes is programmed the state of the LD pin will be set high or low as
determined by the description above as shown in Figure 2.
When the device is in power down mode and the LD pin is
programmed for a digital lock detect function, LD will show a
"no lock detected" condition which is low or high given active
high or active low circuitry respectively.
The accuracy of this circuit degrades at higher comparison
frequencies. To compensate for this, the DIV4 word should
be set to one if the comparison frequency exceeds 20 MHz.

LMK03000 Family
The function of this word is to divide the comparison frequency presented to the lock detect circuit by 4.
1.8 CLKout OUTPUT STATES
Each clock output may be individually enabled with the
CLKoutX_EN bits. Each individual output enable control bit is
gated with the Global Output Enable input pin (GOE) and the
Global Output Enable bit (EN_CLKout_Global).
All clock outputs can be disabled simultaneously if the GOE
pin is pulled low by an external signal or EN_CLKout_Global
is set to 0.
LMK03000 Family
2.0 General Programming
Information
The LMK03000 family of devices are programmed using several 32-bit registers which control the device's operation. The
registers consist of a data field and an address field. The last
4 register bits, ADDR[3:0] form the address field. The remaining 28 bits form the data field DATA[27:0].
During programming, LEuWire is low and serial data is
clocked in on the rising edge of CLKuWire (MSB first). When
LE goes high, data is transferred to the register bank selected
by the address field. Only registers R0 to R7, R11, and R13
to R15 need to be programmed for proper device operation.
For the frequency calibration algorithm to work properly OSCin must be driven by a valid signal when R15 is programmed.
Any changes to the PLL R divider or OSCin require R15 to be
programmed again to activate the frequency calibration routine.
2.1 RECOMMENDED PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE
The recommended programming sequence involves programming R0 with the reset bit set (RESET = 1) to ensure the
device is in a default state. It is not necessary to program R0
again, but if R0 is programmed again, the reset bit is programmed clear (RESET = 0). Registers are programmed in
order with R15 being the last register programmed. An example programming sequence is shown below.
• Program R0 with the reset bit set (RESET = 1). This
ensures the device is in a default state. When the reset bit
is set in R0, the other R0 bits are ignored.
— If R0 is programmed again, the reset bit is programmed
clear (RESET = 0).
• Program R0 to R7 as necessary with desired clocks with
appropriate enable, mux, divider, and delay settings.
• Program R8 for optimum phase noise performance.
• Program R9 with Vboost setting if necessary. Optional,
only needed to set Vboost = 1.
• Program R11 with DIV4 setting if necessary.
• Program R13 with oscillator input frequency and internal
loop filter values
• Program R14 with Fout enable bit, global clock output bit,
power down setting, PLL mux setting, and PLL R divider.
• Program R15 with PLL charge pump gain, VCO divider,
and PLL N divider. Also starts frequency calibration
routine.

This bit is only in register R0. The use of this bit is optional
and it should be set to '0' if not used. Setting this bit to a '1'
forces all registers to their power on reset condition and therefore automatically clears this bit. If this bit is set, all other R0
bits are ignored and R0 needs to be programmed again if
used with its proper values and RESET = 0.

2.3.3 CLKoutX_DIV[7:0] -- Clock Output Dividers
These bits control the clock output divider value. In order for
these dividers to be active, the respective CLKoutX_MUX bit
must be set to either "Divided" or "Divided and Delayed"
mode. After all the dividers are programed, the SYNC* pin
must be used to ensure that all edges of the clock outputs are
aligned. The Clock Output Dividers follow the VCO Divider so
the final clock divide for an output is VCO Divider × Clock
Output Divider. By adding the divider block to the output path
a fixed delay of approximately 100 ps is incurred.
The actual Clock Output Divide value is twice the binary value
programmed as listed in the table below.
2.3.2 CLKoutX_MUX[1:0] -- Clock Output Multiplexers
These bits control the Clock Output Multiplexer for each clock
output. Changing between the different modes changes the
blocks in the signal path and therefore incurs a delay relative
to the bypass mode. The different MUX modes and associated delays are listed below.

These bits control the delay stages for each clock output. In
order for these delays to be active, the respective
CLKoutX_MUX (See 2.3.2) bit must be set to either "Delayed"
or "Divided and Delayed" mode. By adding the delay block to
the output path a fixed delay of approximately 400 ps is incurred in addition to the delay shown in the table below.

"Logic High" and "Logic Low" allow the PLL_MUX pin to be
used as a general purpose output. These modes are also
useful when debugging to verify programming. The Digital
Lock Detect operation is covered in 1.11 DIGITAL LOCK DETECT.
Analog Lock Detect outputs the state of the charge pump on
the LD pin. While the charge pump is on, the LD pin is low.
While the charge pump is off, the LD pin is high. By using two
resistors, a capacitor, diode, and comparator a lock detect
circuit may be constructed (Note 20). When in lock the charge
pump will only turn on momentarily once every period of the
phase detector frequency. "N Divider Output/2" and "R Divider Output/2" output half the frequency of the phase detector on the LD pin. When the device is locked, these
frequencies should be the same. These options are useful for
debugging.

2.7.3 VCO_R4_LF[2:0] -- Value for Internal Loop Filter
Resistor R4
These bits control the R4 resistor value in the internal loop
filter. The recommended setting for VCO_R4_LF[2:0] = 0 for
optimum phase noise and jitter.
LMK03000 Family
2.9.2 VCO_DIV[3:0] -- VCO Divider
These bits program the divide value for the VCO Divider. The
VCO Divider follows the VCO output and precedes the clock
distribution blocks. Since the VCO Divider is in the feedback
path from the VCO to the PLL phase detector the VCO Divider
contributes to the total N divide value, NTotal. NTotal = PLL N
Divider × VCO Divider. The VCO Divider can not be bypassed. See 2.9.1 (PLL N Divider) for more information on
setting the VCO frequency.
2.8.3 POWERDOWN bit -- Device Power Down
This bit can power down the device. Enabling this bit powers
down the entire device and all blocks, regardless of the state
of any of the other bits or pins.

2.9.3 PLL_CP_GAIN[1:0] -- PLL Charge Pump Gain
These bits set the charge pump gain of the PLL.
2.9.1 PLL_N[17:0] -- PLL N Divider
These bits program the divide value for the PLL N Divider.
The PLL N Divider follows the VCO Divider and precedes the
PLL phase detector. Since the VCO Divider is also in the
feedback path from the VCO to the PLL Phase Detector, the
total N divide value, N Total, is also influenced by the VCO Divider value. NTotal = PLL N Divider × VCO Divider. The VCO
frequency is calculated as, fVCO = fOSCin × PLL N Divider ×
VCO Divider / PLL R Divider. Since the PLL N divider is a pure
binary counter there are no illegal divide values for PLL_N
[17:0] except for 0.

3.0 Application Information
3.1 SYSTEM LEVEL DIAGRAM
20211470
FIGURE 3. Typical Application
Figure 3 shows an LMK03000 family device used in a typical
application. In this setup the clock may be multiplied, reconditioned, and redistributed. Both the OSCin/OSCin* and CLKoutX/CLKoutX* pins can be used in a single-ended or a
differential fashion, which is discussed later in this datasheet.
The GOE pin needs to be high for the outputs to operate. One
technique sometimes used is to take the output of the LD
(Lock Detect) pin and use this as an input to the GOE pin. If
this is done, then the outputs will turn off if lock detect circuit
detects that the PLL is out of lock. The loop filter actually con-
sists of seven components, but four of these components that
for the third and fourth poles of the loop filter are integrated in
the chip. The first and second pole of the loop filter are external.

3.4 LOOP FILTER
20211471
FIGURE 4. Loop Filter
The internal charge pump is directly connected to the integrated loop filter components. The first and second pole of the
loop filter are externally attached as shown in Figure 4. When
the loop filter is designed, it must be stable over the entire
frequency band, meaning that the changes in KVtune from the
low to high band specification will not make the loop filter unstable. The design of the loop filter is application specific and
can be rather involved, but is discussed in depth in the Clock
Conditioner Owner's Manual provided by National Semiconductor. When designing with the integrated loop filter of the
LMK03000 family, considerations for minimum resistor thermal noise often lead one to the decision to design for the
minimum value for integrated resistors, R3 and R4. Both the
www.national.com
integrated loop filter resistors and capacitors (C3 and C4) also
restrict how wide the loop bandwidth the PLL can have. However, these integrated components do have the advantage
that they are closer to the VCO and can therefore filter out
some noise and spurs better than external components. For
this reason, a common strategy is to minimize the internal
loop filter resistors and then design for the largest internal capacitor values that permit a wide enough loop bandwidth. In
some situations where spurs requirements are very stringent
and there is margin on phase noise, it might make sense to
design for a loop filter with integrated resistor values that are
larger than their minimum value.

From Table 3.5 the current consumption can be calculated in
any configuration. For example, the current for the entire device with 1 LVDS (CLKout0) & 1 LVPECL (CLKout4) output
in Bypassed mode can be calculated by adding up the following blocks: core current, low clock buffer, high clock buffer,
one LVDS output buffer current, and one LVPECL output
buffer current. There will also be one LVPECL output drawing
emitter current, but some of the power from the current draw
is dissipated in the external 120 Ω resistors which doesn't add
to the power dissipation budget for the device. If delays or
divides are switched in, then the additional current for these
stages needs to be added as well.
For power dissipated by the device, the total current entering
the device is multiplied by the voltage at the device minus the
power dissipated in any emitter resistors connected to any of
the LVPECL outputs. If no emitter resistors are connected to
the LVPECL outputs, this power will be 0 watts. For example,
in the case of 1 LVDS (CLKout0) & 1 LVPECL (CLKout4) operating at 3.3 volts, we calculate 3.3 V × (86 + 9 + 9 + 17.8 +
40) mA = 3.3 V × 161.8 mA = 533.9 mW. Because the
LVPECL output (CLKout4) has the emitter resistors hooked
up and the power dissipated by these resistors is 60 mW, the
total device power dissipation is 533.9 mW - 60 mW = 473.9
mW.
When the LVPECL output is active, ~1.9 V is the average
voltage on each output as calculated from the LVPECL Voh
& Vol typical specification. Therefore the power dissipated in
each emitter resistor is approximately (1.9 V)2 / 120 Ω = 30
mW. When the LVPECL output is disabled, the emitter resistor voltage is ~1.07 V. Therefore the power dissipated in each
emitter resistor is approximately (1.07 V)2 / 120 Ω = 9.5 mW.

3.5 CURRENT CONSUMPTION / POWER DISSIPATION
CALCULATIONS
Due to the myriad of possible configurations the following table serves to provide enough information to allow the user to
LMK03000 Family
3.6 THERMAL MANAGEMENT
Power consumption of the LMK03000 family of devices can
be high enough to require attention to thermal management.
For reliability and performance reasons the die temperature
should be limited to a maximum of 125 °C. That is, as an estimate, TA (ambient temperature) plus device power consumption times θJA should not exceed 125 °C.
The package of the device has an exposed pad that provides
the primary heat removal path as well as excellent electrical
grounding to the printed circuit board. To maximize the removal of heat from the package a thermal land pattern including multiple vias to a ground plane must be incorporated
on the PCB within the footprint of the package. The exposed
pad must be soldered down to ensure adequate heat conduction out of the package. A recommended land and via
pattern is shown in Figure 5. More information on soldering
LLP packages can be obtained at www.national.com.
3.7 TERMINATION AND USE OF CLOCK OUTPUTS
(DRIVERS)
When terminating clock drivers keep in mind these guidelines
for optimum phase noise and jitter performance:
• Transmission line theory should be followed for good
impedance matching to prevent reflections.
• Clock drivers should be presented with the proper loads.
For example:
— LVDS drivers are current drivers and require a closed
current loop.
— LVPECL drivers are open emitter and require a DC
path to ground.
• Receivers should be presented with a signal biased to
their specified DC bias level (common mode voltage) for
proper operation. Some receivers have self-biasing inputs
that automatically bias to the proper voltage level. In this
case, the signal should normally be AC coupled.
It is possible to drive a non-LVPECL or non-LVDS receiver
with a LVDS or LVPECL driver as long as the above guidelines are followed. Check the datasheet of the receiver or
input being driven to determine the best termination and coupling method to be sure that the receiver is biased at its
optimum DC voltage (common mode voltage). For example,
when driving the OSCin/OSCin* input of the LMK03000 family, OSCin/OSCin* should be AC coupled because OSCin/
OSCin* biases the signal to the proper DC level, see Figure
3. This is only slightly different from the AC coupled cases
described in 3.7.2 because the DC blocking capacitors are
placed between the termination and the OSCin/OSCin* pins,
but the concept remains the same, which is the receiver (OSCin/OSCin*) set the input to the optimum DC bias voltage
(common mode voltage), not the driver.
20211473
3.7.1 Termination for DC Coupled Differential Operation
For DC coupled operation of an LVDS driver, terminate with
100 Ω as close as possible to the LVDS receiver as shown in
Figure 6. To ensure proper LVDS operation when DC coupling it is recommend to use LVDS receivers without fail-safe
or internal input bias such as DS90LV110T. The LVDS driver
will provide the DC bias level for the LVDS receiver. For operation with LMK03000 family LVDS drivers it is recommend
to use AC coupling with LVDS receivers that have an internal
DC bias voltage. Some fail-safe circuitry will present a DC
bias (common mode voltage) which will prevent the LVDS
driver from working correctly. This precaution does not apply
to the LVPECL drivers.
FIGURE 5. Recommended Land and Via Pattern
To minimize junction temperature it is recommended that a
simple heat sink be built into the PCB (if the ground plane
layer is not exposed). This is done by including a copper area
of about 2 square inches on the opposite side of the PCB from
the device. This copper area may be plated or solder coated
to prevent corrosion but should not have conformal coating (if
possible), which could provide thermal insulation. The vias
shown in Figure 5 should connect these top and bottom copper layers and to the ground layer. These vias act as “heat
pipes” to carry the thermal energy away from the device side
of the board to where it can be more effectively dissipated.
20211420
FIGURE 6. Differential LVDS Operation, DC Coupling
For DC coupled operation of an LVPECL driver, terminate
with 50 Ω to Vcc - 2 V as shown in Figure 7. Alternatively
terminate with a Thevenin equivalent circuit (120 Ω resistor
connected to Vcc and an 82 Ω resistor connected to ground
with the driver connected to the junction of the 120 Ω and 82
Ω resistors) as shown in Figure 8 for Vcc = 3.3 V.

FIGURE 9. Differential LVDS Operation, AC Coupling

Thevenin Equivalent
LVPECL drivers require a DC path to ground. When AC coupling an LVPECL signal use 120 Ω emitter resistors close to
the LVPECL driver to provide a DC path to ground as shown
in Figure 10. For proper receiver operation, the signal should
be biased to the DC bias level (common mode voltage) specified by the receiver. The typical DC bias voltage (common
mode voltage) for LVPECL receivers is 2 V. A Thevenin
equivalent circuit (82 Ω resistor connected to Vcc and a 120
Ω resistor connected to ground with the driver connected to
the junction of the 82 Ω and 120 Ω resistors) is a valid termination as shown in Figure 10 for Vcc = 3.3 V. Note this
Thevenin circuit is different from the DC coupled example in
Figure 8.

3.7.2 Termination for AC Coupled Differential Operation
AC coupling allows for shifting the DC bias level (common
mode voltage) when driving different receiver standards.
Since AC coupling prevents the driver from providing a DC
bias voltage at the receiver it is important to ensure the receiver is biased to its ideal DC level.
When driving LVDS receivers with an LVDS driver, the signal
may be AC coupled by adding DC blocking capacitors, however the proper DC bias point needs to be established at the
receiver. If the receiver does not automatically bias its input,
one way to do this is with the termination circuitry in Figure
9.
When using AC coupling with LVDS outputs, there may be a
startup delay observed in the clock output due to capacitor
charging. Figure 9 employs 0.1 µF capacitors. This value may
need to be adjusted to meet the startup requirements for a
particular application.
LMK03000 Family
When AC coupling an LVPECL driver use a 120 Ω emitter
resistor to provide a DC path to ground and ensure a 50 ohm
termination with the proper DC bias level for the receiver. The
typical DC bias voltage for LVPECL receivers is 2 V (See
3.7.2). If the other driver is not used it should be terminated
with either a proper AC or DC termination. This latter example
of AC coupling a single-ended LVPECL signal can be used to
measure single-ended LVPECL performance using a spectrum analyzer or phase noise analyzer. When using most RF
test equipment no DC bias (0 V DC) is expected for safe and
proper operation. The internal 50 ohm termination the test
equipment provides correctly terminates the LVPECL driver
being measured as shown Figure 13. When using only one
LVPECL driver of a CLKoutX/CLKoutX* pair, be sure to properly terminate the unused driver.
3.7.3 Termination for Single-Ended Operation
A balun can be used with either LVDS or LVPECL drivers to
convert the balanced, differential signal into an unbalanced,
single-ended signal.
It is possible to use an LVPECL driver as one or two separate
800 mV p-p signals. When DC coupling one of the LMK03000
family clock LVPECL drivers, the termination should still be
50 ohms to Vcc - 2 V as shown in Figure 11. Again the
Thevenin equivalent circuit (120 Ω resistor connected to Vcc
and an 82 Ω resistor connected to ground with the driver connected to the junction of the 120 Ω and 82 Ω resistors) is a
valid termination as shown in Figure 12 for Vcc = 3.3 V.

3.7.4 Conversion to LVCMOS Outputs
To drive an LVCMOS input with an LMK03000 family LVDS
or LVPECL output, an LVPECL/LVDS to LVCMOS converter
such
as
National
Semiconductor's
DS90LV018A,
DS90LV028A, DS90LV048A, etc. is required. For best noise
performance, LVPECL provides a higher voltage swing into
input of the converter.

3.8 OSCin INPUT
In addition to LVDS and LVPECL inputs, OSCin can also be
driven with a sine wave. The OSCin input can be driven single-ended or differentially with sine waves. The configurations
for these are shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15. Figure 16
shows the recommended power level for sine wave operation
for both differential and single-ended sources over frequency.
The part will operate at power levels below the recommended
power level, but as power decreases the PLL noise performance will degrade. The VCO noise performance will remain
constant. At the recommended power level the PLL phase
noise degradation from full power operation (8 dBm) is less
than 2 dB.
