Reference Clock
A high degree of accuracy is required from the reference clock. For this reason, it is
required that one of the oscillators listed in this section be used:
Epson EG-2121CA 2.5V (LVPECL Outputs)
Epson Electronics America website
for detailed information. The power supply
circuit specified by the manufacturer must be used.
The circuit shown in
must be used to interface the oscillator’s LVPECL outputs
to the LVDS or LVPECL inputs of the transceiver reference clock. Alternatively, the
LVDS_25_DT input buffers can be used to terminate the signals on-chip, as shown in
.
Pletronics LV1145B (LVDS Outputs)
for detailed information.
The circuit shown in
must be used to interface the oscillator’s LVDS outputs to
the LVDS inputs of the transceiver reference clock. Alternatively, the LVDS_25_DT input
buffer may be used to terminate the signals on-chip, as shown in
.
