Outputs
:
By default, two of the five LVPECL output pairs are connected to the traces and SMA connectors via
series 0-
Ω
resistors. The remaining three LVPECL pairs are not connected to the traces (0-
Ω
resistors not
installed) and thus do not have SMA connectors installed. The routed outputs have 180-
Ω
bias resistors to
ground and are AC-coupled to the SMA connectors to allow direct connections to RF instruments via SMA
cables for test and evaluation. The AC-coupled outputs should be terminated with single-ended 50
Ω
or
100
Ω
differential loads.
To minimize reflections and signal integrity issues, it is recommended to terminate any driven output trace
with a 50-
Ω
SMA load termination, or otherwise disconnect any unused output from the trace by removing
the 0-
Ω
series resistor (R30 to R39).
