DESCRIPTION
The CTSLV310 is a configurable LVPECL, LVDS buffer & translator IC that is optimized for ultra-low
phase noise and 2.5V-3.3V nominal supply voltage. It is particularly useful in converting crystal or
SAW based oscillators into LVPECL and LVDS outputs for up to 1GHz of bandwidth. For a design that
includes gain in the signal path, refer to the CTSLV315.
A configurable IC design capable of providing LVPECL or LVDS outputs, ÷1 or ÷2 function, and active
high or active low enable selection. See Table 1 for details of the configurations options that provide
designers with a single IC buffer/translator solution that is extremely compact, flexible and high
performance.
8 configurations which are determined by the static voltage levels of b-0 and b-1. Table 1 details the
configurations.

Input Termination
The D input bias is VDD/2 fed through an internal 10k resistor. For clock applications, an input signal of at
least 750m VPP ensures the CTSLV10 meets AC specifications. The input should also be AC coupled to
maintain a 50% duty cycle on the outputs. The input can be driven to any voltage between 0V and VDD without
damage or waveform degradation.
LVPECL Output Termination Techniques
DC Coupling
The LVPECL compatible output stage of the CTSLV310 uses a current drive topology to maximize switching
speed as illustrated below. Two current source PMOS transistors (M1-M2) feed the output pins. M5 is an
NMOS current source which is switched by M3 and M4. When M4 is on, M5 takes current from M2. This
produces an output current of 5.1mA (low output state). M3 is off, and the entire 21.1mA flows through the
output pin. The associated output voltage swings match LVPECL levels when external 50 resistors
terminate the outputs.
Both Q and QN should always be terminated identically to avoid waveform distortion and circulating current
caused by unsymmetrical loads. This rule should be followed even if only one output is in use.

AC Coupling
Clock applications or phase noise/frequency domain testing scenarios typically require AC coupling. The
illustration below shows the AC coupling technique. The 200 resistors form the required DC loads, and the
50 resistors provide the AC termination. The parallel combination of the 200 and 50 resistors results in a
net 40 AC load termination. In many cases this will work well. If necessary, the 50 resistors can be
increased to about 56. Alternately, bias tees combined with current setting resistors will eliminate the
lowered AC load impedance. The 50 resistors are typically connected to ground but can be connected to the
bias level needed by the succeeding stage.
