8.2. Output Clock Drivers

The output clocks can be configured to be compatible with LVPECL, CML, LVDS, or CMOS as shown in Table 56.

Unused outputs can be left unconnected. For microprocessor-controlled devices, it is recommended to write “disable” to SFOUTn to disable the output buffer and reduce power. When the output mode is CMOS, bypass mode is not supported.

Note: The LVPECL outputs are “LVPECL compatible.” No DC biasing circuitry is required to drive a standard LVPECL load.

8.2.1. LVPECL TQFP Output Signal Format Restrictions at 3.3 V (Si5367, Si5368, Si5369)

The LVPECL and CMOS output formats draw more current than either LVDS or CML; however, there are restrictions in the allowed output format pin settings so that the maximum power dissipation for the TQFP devices is limited when they are operated at 3.3 V. When Vdd = 3.3 V and there are four enabled LVPECL or CMOS outputs, the fifth output must be disabled. When Vdd = 3.3 V and there are five enabled outputs, there can be no more than three outputs that are either LVPECL or CMOS. All other configurations are valid, including those with Vdd = 2.5 V.

8.2.2. Typical Output Circuits

It is recommended that the outputs be ac coupled to avoid common mode issues. This suggestion does not apply to the Si5366 and Si5368 when CKOUT5 is configured as FS_OUT (frame sync) because it can a have a duty cycle significantly different from 50%.
