8.1. Input Clock Buffers

Any-Frequency Precision Clock devices provide differential inputs for the CKINn clock inputs. These inputs are internally biased to a common mode voltage and can be driven by either a single-ended or differential source. Figure 38 through Figure 41 show typical interface circuits for LVPECL, CML, LVDS, or CMOS input clocks. Note that the jitter generation improves for higher levels on CKINn (within the limits in Table 8, “AC Characteristics—All Devices”).

AC coupling the input clocks is recommended because it removes any issue with common mode input voltages. However, either ac or dc coupling is acceptable. Figures 38 and 39 show various examples of different input termination arrangements.

Unused inputs should have an AC ground connection. For microprocessor-controlled devices, the PD_CKn bits may be set to shut off unused input buffers to reduce power.
