CLC006
Serial Digital Cable Driver with Adjustable Outputs
General Description
Applications
National’s Comlinear CLC006 is a monolithic, high-speed cable driver designed for the SMPTE 259M serial digital video
data transmission standard. The CLC006 drives 75Ω transmission lines (Belden 8281 or equivalent) at data rates up to
400 Mbps. Controlled output rise and fall times (650 ps typical) minimize transition-induced jitter. The output voltage
swing, typically 1.65V, set by an accurate, low-drift internal
bandgap reference, delivers an 800 mV swing to backmatched and terminated 75Ω cable. Output swing is adjustable from 0.7 VP-P to 2 VP-P using external resistors.
The CLC006’s class AB output stage consumes less power
than other designs, 185 mW with both outputs terminated,
and requires no external bias resistors. The differential inputs
accept a wide range of digital signals from 200 mVP-P to ECL
levels within the specified common-mode limits. All this make
the CLC006 an excellent general purpose high speed driver
for digital applications.
The CLC006 is powered from a single +5V or −5.2V supply
and comes in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Operation
INPUT INTERFACING
The CLC006 has high impedance, emitter-follower buffered,
differential inputs. Single-ended signals may also be input.
Transmission lines supplying input signals must be properly
terminated close to the CLC006. Either A.C. or D.C. coupling
as in Figure 2 or Figure 3 may be used.Figures 2, 4 and Figure
5 show how Thevenin-equivalent resistor networks are used
Load Type
to provide input termination and biasing. The input D.C. common-mode voltage range is 0.8V to 2.5V below the positive
power supply (VCC). Input signals plus bias should be kept
within the specified common-mode range. For an 800 mVP-P
input signal, typical input bias levels range from 1.2V to 2.1V
below the positive supply.

OUTPUT INTERFACING
The CLC006’s class AB output stage, Figure 6, requires no
standing current in the output transistors and therefore requires no biasing or pull-down resistors. Advantages of this
arrangement are lower power dissipation and fewer external
components. The output may be either D.C. or A.C. coupled
to the load. A bandgap voltage reference sets output voltage

levels which are compatible with F100K and 10K ECL when
correctly terminated. The outputs do not have the same output voltage temperature coefficient as 10K. Therefore, noise
margins will be reduced over the full temperature range when
driving 10K ECL. Noise margins will not be affected when interfacing to F100K since F100K is fully voltage and temperature compensated.

OUTPUT AMPLITUDE ADJUSTMENT
The high and low output levels of the CLC006 are set by a
circuit shown simplified in Figure 8. Output high and low levels
may be set independently with external resistor networks
connected between REXT-H (pin 3), REXT-L (pin 4) and the
power supplies. The resistor networks affect the high and low
output levels by changing the internally generated bias voltages, VH and VL. The nominal high and low output levels are
VCC−1.7V and VCC−3.3V, respectively, when the pins REXT-H
and REXT-L are left unconnected. Though the internal components which determine output voltage levels have accurate
ratios, their absolute values may be controlled only within
about ±15% of nominal. Even so, without external adjustment,
www.national.com
output voltages are well controlled. A final design should accommodate the variation in externally set output voltages due
to the CLC006’s part-to-part and external component tolerances.
Output voltage swing may be reduced with the circuit shown
in Figure 9. A single resistance chosen with the aid of the
graph, Figure 10, is connected between pins 3 and 4. Output
voltage swing may be increased with the circuit of Figure 11.
Figure 12 is used to estimate a value for resistor R. Note that
both of these circuits and the accompanying graphs assume
that the CLC006 is loaded with the standard 150Ω. Be aware

OUTPUT RISE AND FALL TIMES
Output load capacitance can significantly affect output rise
and fall times. The effect of load capacitance, stray or otherwise, may be reduced by placing the output back-match
resistor close to the output pin and by minimizing all interconnecting trace lengths. Figure 13 shows the effect on risetime
of parallel load capacitance across a 150Ω load.

PCB Layout Recommendations
Printed circuit board layout affects the performance of the
CLC006. 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.
