Functional Diagram
General Description
The 1-to-9 fanout buffer is designed for low noise clock
distribution. It is intended to generate relatively square
wave outputs with rise/fall times < 100 ps. The low skew
and jitter outputs of the HMC987LP5E, combined with
its fast rise/fall times, leads to controllable low-noise
switching of downstream circuits such as mixers,
ADCs/DACs or SERDES devices. The noise floor
is particularly important in these applications, when
the clock-network bandwidth is wide enough to allow
square-wave switching. Driven at 2 GHz, outputs of
the HMC987LP5E have a noise floor of -166 dBc/Hz,
corresponding to a jitter density of 0.6 asec/rtHz - or
50 fs over an 8 GHz bandwidth.
The input stage can be driven single-ended or
differentially, in a variety of signal formats (CML,
LVDS, LVPECL or CMOS), AC or DC coupled. The
input stage also features adjustable input impedance.
It has 8 LVPECL outputs, and 1 CML output with
adjustable swing/power-level in 3 dB steps.
Individual output stages may be enabled or disabled
for power-savings when not required using either
hardware control pins, or under control of a serial-port
interface.

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the application should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have 50
Ohms impedance while the package ground leads and exposed paddle should be connected directly to the
ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and
bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.

LOW NOISE 1:9 FANOUT BUFFER
DC - 8 GHz
Clock Distribution - SMT
Theory of Operation
Parallel Port Control
The various outputs of the can be enabled/disabled by using parallel pin control, or via the SPI. In parallel-mode
(PMODE-SEL = 1), the SPI input pins (SCLK, SKI, SEN) are re-interpreted as a 3-bit control bus, and enable the
LVPECL drivers according to the following truth table.
SCLK, SDI, SEN
000: OUT2
001: OUT2 + OUT7
010: OUT2 + OUT7 + OUT4
011: OUT2 + OUT7 + OUT4 + OUT6
100: OUT2 + OUT7 + OUT4 + OUT6 + OUT5
101: OUT2 + OUT7 + OUT4 + OUT6 + OUT5 + OUT3
110: OUT2 + OUT7 + OUT4 + OUT6 + OUT5 + OUT3 + OUT8
111: OUT2 + OUT7 + OUT4 + OUT6 + OUT5 + OUT3 + OUT8 + OUT1
Under SPI control (PMODE-SEL = 0, see section “Register Map” for the register map and SPI protocol details), there
is slightly more flexibility in that any combination of buffers can be enabled or disabled via the individual buffer enable
bits in Reg02h.
The part features switches on both the input and output signals, so that when the part is disabled (via either the
CEN pin, or the SPI control bit Reg01h[0]), the power-down current drops to < 2 µA, regardless of the IO termination
scheme.
Input Stage
The input stage, Figure 26, is flexible. It can be driven single-ended or differential, with LVPECL, LVDS, or CML
signals. If driven single-ended, a large AC coupling cap to ground should be used on the undriven input. The input
impedance is selectable, via Reg03h[3], between 50 Ω or 150 Ω single ended(100 Ω or 300 Ω differential). The DC
bias level of 2.0 V can be generated internally by programming Reg03[1]=1 (default configuration), supplied externally,
or generated via an LVPECL termination network inside the part.
Chip Enable
The HMC987 has a chip enable feature, CEN, which can be used to power down or deactivate the LVPECL and RF
outputs. This can be done by either hardware, pin 31, or a SPI command, Reg01.
For a hardware selection, a logic 0 applied to CEN will power down the HMC987, however, SPI commands can
still be written which will be recognized upon when a logic 1 is applied to CEN. Note, there is no internal pull-up or
pull-down and this pin must be terminated. To control CEN by SPI command, Reg 01h[0] is set to 1, which is the default
mode, and enables the outputs. When Reg01[0]=0 then the outputs are disabled. Either a hardware, pin 31, or a SPI
command will disable the outputs.

LVPECL Output Stage
The LVPECL output driver produces up to 1.6 Vppd swing into 100 Ω differencial loads. LVPECL drivers are terminated
with off-chip resistors that provide the DC current through the emitter-follower output stage. The output stage has
a switch which disconnects the output driver from the load when not used. The switch series resistor significantly
improves the output match when driving into 50 Ω transmission lines. The switch series resistor causes a small DC
level shift and swing degradation, depending on the termination current.
If unused, disabled LVPECL outputs can be left floating, terminated, or grounded.

Figure 35. DC Coupled to CMOS Interface
The user has a number of choices in how they connect LVPECL drivers and receivers, and there are great number
of resources that deal in detail with this issue. As a quick introduction, there are compromises between matching
performance, common mode levels, and signal swing. For clocking applications, the user often has the luxury of
using AC coupling, unlike in many data-path situations. Figure 36 shows a simplified interface schematic between an
LVPECL output and input stage - where various options and trade-offs for the termination components are provided
in Table 6. The Hittite evaluation board has a great deal of flexibility in how the I/Os are configured, and allows the
configuration in Figure 34, among many others.

LOW NOISE 1:9 FANOUT BUFFER
DC - 8 GHz
The RF output buffer is a CML output stage with 50 Ω impedance (single-ended) and adjustable power. In parallel
mode (the PMODE_SEL pin = 1), it is at max gain (~ +3 dBm single-ended), whereas under SPI control, the gain can
be lowered in ~3 dB steps down to -9 dBm single-ended. See Reg04(h) for more information.
Figure 37. Output Stage
Clock Distribution - SMT
RF Output Stage
Serial Port Interface (SPI) Control
The HMC987Lp5E can be controlled via SPI or parallel port control (for more information on parallel control see
“Parallel Port Control”). SPI control offers more flexibility. External pin PMODE-SEL = 1 configures the for parallel port
operation, while PMODE-SEL = 0 will enable the SPI control of.
The SPI control is required in order to re-configure the input bias network from its’ default state (Reg03h), to adjust the
output power control on the RF/CML buffer, and to individually enable arbitrary LVPECL outputs.
Operational Modes
Serial Port Interface features:
a. Compatibility with general serial port protocols that use a shift and strobe approach to communication.
b. Compatible with HMC multi-Chip solutions, useful to address multiple chips of various types from a single
serial port bus.

Serial Port Read Operation
In order ensure correct read operation a pull-down resistor to ground (~1-2kOhm) is recommended on the Serial Data
Out line from the part. A typical READ cycle is shown in Figure 39.
In general, SDO line is always active during the WRITE cycle. SDO will contain the data from the addresses pointed
to by Reg00h. If Reg00h is not changed, the same data will always be present on the SDO. If it is desired to READ
from a specific address, it is necessary in the first SPI cycle to write the desired address to Reg00h, then in the next
SPI cycle the desired data will be available on the SDO.

The Master (host), on the first 9 falling edges of SCLK places 9 bit data, d8:d0, MSB first, on SDI as shown in

b. Master places 4 bit register address , r3:r0, ( the address the WRITE ADDRESS register), MSB first, on the

c. Slave shifts the register bits on the next 4 rising edges of SCLK (10-13).

e. Slave shifts the chip address bits on the next 3 rising edges of SCLK (14-16).
f. Master asserts SEN after the 16th rising edge of SCLK.
g. Slave registers the SDI data on the rising edge of SEN.
h. Master clears SEN to complete the address transfer of the two part READ cycle.
i. If we do not wish to write data to the chip at the same time as we do the second cycle , then it is
recommended to simply rewrite the same contents on SDI to Register zero on the READ back part of the
cycle.
j. Master places the same SDI data as the previous cycle on the next 16 falling edges of SCLK.
k. Slave () shifts the SDI data on the next 16 rising edges of SCLK.
l. Slave places the desired data (i.e. data from address in Reg00h[3:0]) on SDO on the next 16 rising edges of
SCLK.
m. Master asserts SEN after the 16th rising edge of SCLK to complete the cycle.
Note that if the chip address bits are unrecognized (a2:a0), the slave will tri-state the SDO output to prevent a possible
bus contention issue.
