CLC001
Serial Digital Cable Driver with Adjustable Outputs
General Description
Applications
The CLC001 is a monolithic, high-speed cable driver designed for use in SMPTE 259M serial digital video and ITU-T
G.703 serial digital data transmission applications. The
CLC001 drives 75Ω transmission lines (Belden 8281 or
equivalent) at data rates up to 622 Mbps. Controlled output
rise and fall times (400 ps typical) minimize transitioninduced jitter. The output voltage swing is adjustable from
800 mVp-p to 1.0 Vp-p using an external resistor.

The CLC001’s output stage consumes less power than other
designs. The differential inputs accept LVDS signal levels,
LVPECL levels directly or PECL with attenuation networks.
All these make the CLC001 an excellent general purpose
high speed driver for high-speed, long distance data transmission applications.
The CLC001 is powered from a single +3.3V supply and
comes in a small 8-pin SOIC package.

Note 1: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the devices
should be operated at these limits. The table of “Electrical Characteristics” specifies conditions of device operation.
Note 2: Current flow into device pins is defined as positive. Current flow out of device pins is defined as negative. All voltages are stated referenced to VSS = 0V.
Note 3: Typical values are at 25˚C and 3.3V.
Note 4: This parameter is Guaranteed by Design.
Note 5: RL = 75Ω, AC-coupled at 270 Mbps, RREF = 1.91 kΩ 1% (for VSDO = 800 mVp-p ± 10%), CL not greater than 5pF (See Figure 1)
Note 6: The VBB output is intended as a bias supply pin for the inputs of this device only. It is not designed as a power supply output and should not be used to
power other devices.
Note 7: RL = 75Ω, AC-coupled at 622 Mbps, RREF = 1.5 kΩ 1% (for VSDO = 1.0 Vp-p ± 10%), clock pattern input.

CLC001
Device Operation
INPUT INTERFACING
Numerous input configurations exist for applying PECL,
LVPECL, and LVDS signals to the input of the CLC001.
Inputs may be single-ended or differential, AC or DC
coupled.
The VBB pin may be used to provide a DC bias voltage to the
inputs. Leave this pin as a no connect when no bias is
needed. Note that DC-coupled inputs such as direct LVDS
and LVPECL connections are self-biasing and do not require
use of the VBB pin. IBB, the current produced by the VBB pin,
depends on RREF. For a given RREF, the IBB current will
remain constant, and the bias voltage is determined by the
value of resistance, RBB, between the VBB pin and ground.
Figure 3 and Figure 4 show how RBB corresponds to some
common VBB values with RREF held at 1.91 kΩ and 1.5 kΩ,
respectively. Some common input configurations are shown
in Figure 5 through Figure 9.

825Ω gives the equivalent termination resistance of 75Ω.
RBB set at 5kΩ provides 1.25V of DC bias to the input.

A typical DC-coupled, twisted pair cable connection is shown
in Figure 6. The CLC001 is driven differentially. The line is
terminated with a termination resistor equal to the impedance of the line being driven. The actual resistor value is
media specific, but typically is between 100 and 120Ω depending upon the cable. This resistor should be located
close to the CLC001 inputs pins to minimize the resulting
stub length between the resistor and device pads.

used in conjunction with two 50Ω resistors to filter common
mode noise. RBB set at 5kΩ provides 1.25V of DC bias to
each input.

PECL or LVPECL drivers may be interfaced to the CLC001
as shown in Figure 8. The voltage divider network will reduce
the PECL output to the proper levels. For LVPECL, the 100Ω
series resistors should be removed, since the common
mode range inputs of the CLC001 are wide enough to accept
LVPECL levels directly. No external DC biasing is required
for PECL/LVPECL connections.

media specific, but typically is between 100 and 120Ω. This
resistor should be located close to the CLC001 inputs pins to
minimize the resulting stub length between the resistor and
device pads. The CLC001 supports ± 100mV thresholds
across the entire LVDS common mode range of 0.1V to 2.3V
for a 200mV differential signal.

OUTPUT INTERFACING
The CLC001 has two complementary, ground referenced
outputs designed to drive AC-coupled and terminated 75Ω
coaxial cables. The outputs are single ended; however, they
could be treated as a single differential output as long as
current paths from each output go to ground.
The output of the CLC001 is a high impedance current
source. It expects to see a 75Ω shunt resistor before driving
cable to convert the current output to a voltage and provide
proper back-matching. No series back-matching resistors
should be used. Refer to Section Typical Application for an
illustration.
Output levels range from 800 mVp-p to 1.0 Vp-p ± 10% into
75Ω AC-coupled, back-matched loads. Output level is controlled by the value of RREF connected to pin 4. RREF is 1.91
kΩ ± 1% for 800 mVp-p, and 1.5 kΩ ± 1% for 1.0 Vp-p. Refer
to Figure 10 for the output level’s sensitivity to RREF.
The SD001EVK evaluation kit for the CLC001, Serial Digital
Cable Driver with Adjustable Outputs, provides an operating
environment in which the cable driver can be evaluated by
system / hardware designers. The evaluation board has all
the needed circuitry and connectors for easy connection and
checkout of the device circuit options as discussed in the
CLC001 datasheet. A schematic, parts list and pictorial
drawing are provided with the board.

PCB Layout Recommendations
Printed circuit board layout affects the performance of the
CLC001. The following guidelines will aid in achieving satisfactory device performance.
• Use a ground plane or power/ground plane sandwich
design for optimum performance.
• Bypass device power with a 0.01 µF monolithic ceramic
capacitor in parallel with a 6.8 µF tantalum electrolytic
capacitor located no more than 0.1" (2.5 mm) from the
device power pins.
• Provide short, symmetrical ground return paths for:
— inputs,
— supply bypass capacitors and
— the output load.
• Provide short, grounded guard traces located
— under the centerline of the package,
— 0.1" (2.5 mm) from the package pins
— on both top and bottom of the board with connecting
vias.
