LMK1C1104DQF Low-Additive, Phase-Noise LVCMOS
Clock Buffer Evaluation Board
ABSTRACT
The LMK1C1104DQF is a high-performance, low additive jitter LVCMOS clock buffer with one LVCMOS input,
four LVCMOS outputs, and a global output enable pin.
This evaluation module (EVM) is designed to demonstrate the electrical performance of the LMK1C1104DQF.
Throughout this document, the acronym EVM and the phrases evaluation module and evaluation board are
synonymous with the LMK1C1104DFNEVM.
The EVM is equipped with 50-Ω SMA connectors and impedance-controlled 50-Ω microstrip transmission lines
for best performance.

Easy-to-use evaluation board to fan out up to four LVCMOS clocks with low phase noise/jitter
Output enable pin configurable through jumper
Board powered from a single 3.3-V / 2.5-V / 1.8-V supply
Clock output traces are length matched
2 Signal Path and Control Circuitry
The LMK1C1104DFNEVM supports single-ended inputs up to 250 MHz. For more information about the
LMK1C1104DQF, see the LMK1C1104 product data sheet available for download from the TI Web site
(www.ti.com).
3 Getting Started
The LMK1C1104DFNEVM has self-explanatory labeling and uses similar naming conventions as the
LMK1C1104 product data sheet. In this user’s guide, all words in boldface reflect the actual labeling on the
EVM.

Power-Supply Connections
4 Power-Supply Connections
Connect the power-supply source and ground to the terminal block labeled J1 as shown in Figure 4-1.
Alternatively, connect the power-supply source to TP1, and connect the ground of the power-supply TP2.
Decoupling capacitors and a ferrite bead isolate the EVM power from the LMK1C1104DQF device power pins.
Figure 4-1. Power Supply Connection Locations
The LMK1C1104DFNEVM operates from a single 3.3-V / 2.5-V / 1.8-V supply.
5 Enabling/Disabling the Outputs
The enable pin, 1G, of the LMK1C1104DQF can be controlled using jumper J3. Pull 1G to VDD by shunting pins
2 and 3 of J3 to enable the outputs as shown in Figure 5-1. Leave 1G floating or pull to GND to disable the
outputs.
Figure 5-1. J3 Jumper Location
By default, a shunt is placed on pins 2 and 3 to enable the outputs.

Output Clock
www.ti.com
6 Output Clock
The LMK1C1104DQF fans out four LVCMOS outputs. The outputs can be loaded using the pullup and pulldown
footprints. No resistor has been soldered in those footprints.
The EVM board supports up to eight clock outputs for pin-compatible WSON packaged devices in the industry
standard footprint. The LMK1C1104DQF uses four of the 8 outputs shown in Figure 1-1. These outputs are Y0,
Y1, Y2, and Y3.
