The ADCLK950 is an ultrafast clock fanout buffer fabricated
on the Analog Devices, Inc., proprietary XFCB3 silicon germanium
(SiGe) bipolar process. This device is designed for high speed
applications requiring low jitter.
The device has two selectable differential inputs via the IN_SEL
control pin. Both inputs are equipped with center tapped,
differential, 100 Ω on-chip termination resistors. The inputs
accept dc-coupled LVPECL, CML, 3.3 V CMOS (single-ended),
and ac-coupled 1.8 V CMOS, LVDS, and LVPECL inputs. A
VREFx pin is available for biasing ac-coupled inputs.
The ADCLK950 features 10 full-swing emitter coupled logic
(ECL) output drivers. For LVPECL (positive ECL) operation,
bias VCC to the positive supply and VEE to ground. For ECL
operation, bias VCC to ground and VEE to the negative supply.

The output skew is the difference between any two similar delay paths while operating at the same voltage and temperature.
Measured at the rising edge of the clock signal; calculated using the SNR of the ADC method.
This is the amount of added jitter measured at the output while two related, asynchronous, differential frequencies are applied to the inputs.

ADCLK950
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Output jitter performance is degraded by an input slew rate
below 4 V/ns, as shown in Figure 12. The ADCLK950 is
specifically designed to minimize added random jitter over a
wide input slew rate range. Whenever possible, clamp excessively
large input signals with fast Schottky diodes because attenuators
reduce the slew rate. Input signal runs of more than a few
centimeters should be over low loss dielectrics or cables with
good high frequency characteristics.
LVPECL Y-termination is an elegant termination scheme that
uses the fewest components and offers both odd- and even-mode
impedance matching. Even-mode impedance matching is an
important consideration for closely coupled transmission lines
at high frequencies. Its main drawback is that it offers limited
flexibility for varying the drive strength of the emitter follower
LVPECL driver. This can be an important consideration when
driving long trace lengths but is usually not an issue.

ADCLK950
VS = VS_DRV
Z0 = 50Ω
CLOCK OUTPUTS
The specified performance necessitates using proper transmission
line terminations. The LVPECL outputs of the ADCLK950 are
designed to directly drive 800 mV into a 50 Ω cable or into
microstrip/stripline transmission lines terminated with 50 Ω
referenced to VCC − 2 V, as shown in Figure 14. The LVPECL
output stage is shown in Figure 13. The outputs are designed for
best transmission line matching. If high speed signals must be
routed more than a centimeter, either the microstrip or the
stripline technique is required to ensure proper transition times
and to prevent excessive output ringing and pulse width dependent propagation delay dispersion.

08279-014
The ADCLK950 accepts a differential clock input from one of
two inputs and distributes the selected clock to all 10 LVPECL
outputs. The maximum specified frequency is the point at which
the output voltage swing is 50% of the standard LVPECL swing
(see Figure 4). See the functional block diagram (Figure 1) and
the General Description section for more clock input details.
See Figure 19 through Figure 23 for various clock input
termination schemes.
Thevenin-equivalent termination uses a resistor network to
provide 50 Ω termination to a dc voltage that is below VOL of
the LVPECL driver. In this case, VS_DRV on the ADCLK950
should equal VS of the receiving buffer. Although the resistor
combination shown (in Figure 15) results in a dc bias point of
VS_DRV − 2 V, the actual common-mode voltage is VS_DRV −
1.3 V because there is additional current flowing from the
ADCLK950 LVPECL driver through the pull-down resistor.

PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The ADCLK950 buffer is designed for very high speed applications. Consequently, high speed design techniques must be used
to achieve the specified performance. It is critically important
to use low impedance supply planes for both the negative supply
(VEE) and the positive supply (VCC) planes as part of a multilayer
board. Providing the lowest inductance return path for switching
currents ensures the best possible performance in the target
application.
The following references to the GND plane assume that the VEE
power plane is grounded for LVPECL operation. Note that for
ECL operation, the VCC power plane becomes the ground plane.
It is also important to adequately bypass the input and output
supplies. Place a 1 µF electrolytic bypass capacitor within several
inches of each VCC power supply pin to the GND plane. In
addition, place multiple high quality 0.001 µF bypass capacitors
as close as possible to each of the VCC supply pins, and connect
the capacitors to the GND plane with redundant vias. Carefully
select high frequency bypass capacitors for minimum inductance and ESR. To improve the effectiveness of the bypass at
high frequencies, minimize parasitic layout inductance. Also,
avoid discontinuities along input and output transmission lines
that can affect jitter performance.
return path. If the inputs are dc-coupled to a source, take care to
ensure that the pins are within the rated input differential and
common-mode ranges.
If the return is floated, the device exhibits a 100 Ω cross termination, but the source must then control the common-mode
voltage and supply the input bias currents.
There are ESD/clamp diodes between the input pins to prevent
the application from developing excessive offsets to the input
transistors. ESD diodes are not optimized for best ac performance. When a clamp is required, it is recommended that
appropriate external diodes be used.
Exposed Metal Paddle
The exposed metal paddle on the ADCLK950 package is both
an electrical connection and a thermal enhancement. For the
device to function properly, the paddle must be properly
attached to the VEE power plane.
When properly mounted, the ADCLK950 also dissipates heat
through its exposed paddle. The PCB acts as a heat sink for the
ADCLK950. The PCB attachment must provide a good thermal
path to a larger heat dissipation area. This requires a grid of vias
from the top layer down to the VEE power plane (see Figure 18).
The ADCLK950 evaluation board (ADCLK950/PCBZ) provides
an example of how to attach the part to the PCB.
In a 50 Ω environment, input and output matching have a
significant impact on performance. The buffer provides internal
50 Ω termination resistors for both CLKx and CLKx inputs.
Normally, the return side is connected to the reference pin that is
provided. Carefully bypass the termination potential using
ceramic capacitors to prevent undesired aberrations on the
input signal due to parasitic inductance in the termination
