The LMK1D1208I is specifically designed for driving
50-Ω transmission lines. When driving inputs in
single-ended mode, apply the appropriate bias
voltage to the unused negative input pin (see Figure
9-6).
I2C programming enables this device to be configured
as a single bank buffer (one of the two inputs
is distributed to eight output pairs) or as a dual
bank buffer (each input is distributed to four outputs
pairs). Each output can be configured to have
either a standard (350 mV) or boosted (500 mV)
swing. This device also incorporates individual output
channel enable or disable through I2C programming.
The LMK1D1208I has fail-safe inputs that prevent
oscillation at the outputs in the absence of an input
signal and allows for input signals before VDD is
supplied.
The device operates in a 1.8-V, 2.5-V, or 3.3-V
supply environment and is characterized from –40°C
to 105°C (ambient temperature).

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The LMK1D1208I is a low-additive jitter, I2C-programmable, LVDS output clock buffer that uses CMOS
transistors to control the output current. Therefore, proper biasing and termination are required to ensure correct
operation of the device and to maximize signal integrity. The LMK1D1208I also includes status and control
registers for configuring the different modes in the device.
The proper LVDS termination for signal integrity over two 50-Ω lines is 100 Ω between the outputs on the
receiver end. Either DC-coupled termination or AC-coupled termination can be used for LVDS outputs. TI
recommends placing a termination resistor close to the receiver. If the receiver is internally biased to a voltage
different than the output common-mode voltage of the LMK1D1208I, AC coupling must be used.If the LVDS
receiver has internal 100-Ω termination, external termination must be omitted.

9.3 Feature Description
The LMK1D1208I is an I2C-programmable, low-additive jitter, LVDS fan-out buffer that can generate up to eight
copies of two selectable LVPECL, LVDS, HCSL, CML, or LVCMOS inputs. This feature-rich device allows the
user to have flexibility on the configuration based on their application use-case.
9.3.1 Fail-Safe Input
The LMK1D120x family of devices is designed to support fail-safe input operation. This feature allows the user
to drive the device inputs before VDD is applied without damaging the device. Refer to Specifications for more
information on the maximum input supported by the device. The device also incorporates an input hysteresis,
which prevents random oscillation in absence of an input signal, allowing the input pins to be left open.
9.3.2 Input Stage Configurability
The LMK1D1208I has an input stage that accepts up to two clock inputs and can be configured as either a 2:1
mux or as a dual bank. When configured as a 2:1 mux, the LMK1D1208I device can select one of the two clock
inputs and then distribute it to the eight LVDS output pairs. In the dual bank mode, the LMK1D1208I can assign
each clock input to fan out four LVDS output pairs per bank. Refer to the Device Functional Modes for how to
configure the two input stages.
Unused inputs can be left floating to reduce overall component cost. Both AC and DC coupling schemes can be
used with the LMK1D1208I to provide greater system flexibility.
9.3.3 Dual Output Bank
LMK1D1208I has eight LVDS output pairs which are grouped into two banks, each with four LVDS output pairs.
The Table 9-1 outlines this mapping.

BANK
CLOCK OUTPUTS

OUT4, OUT5, OUT6, OUT7
9.3.4 I2C
The I2C control is used to configure the different features in the LMK1D1208I. These features include individual
input and output channel enable or disable, input mux select in each bank, bank muting (setting bank outputs
to logic low), and individual output amplitude control. The I2C logic is also capable of fast mode where the
frequency is 400 kHz.
9.3.4.1 I2C Address Assignment
The I2C address is assigned by the two pins, IDX0 and IDX1. Each IDX pin supports two levels allowing the
LMK1D1208I to assume four different I2C addresses. See Table 9-2 for address pin assignment.

9.3.5 LVDS Output Termination
TI recommends that unused outputs are terminated differentially with a 100-Ω resistor for optimum performance.
Unterminated outputs are also okay, but this will result in a slight degradation in performance (Output AC
common-mode VOS) in the outputs being used.
Figure 9-1 and Figure 9-2 show how the LMK1D1208I can be connected to LVDS receiver inputs with DC and
AC coupling, respectively.

9.4 Device Functional Modes
The outputs of Bank 0 and Bank 1 can be one of three options: logic low, buffered IN0, or buffered IN1.
These output types should only be attained by maintaining the register setting combination outlined in Table
9-3. The LMK1D1208I registers must be programmed within these possible logic states to ensure proper device
functionality. Using the device outside the intended logic can result in degraded performance.

9.4.1 Input Enable Control
The LMK1D1208I allows for individual input channel enable or disable through the INx_EN register field. The
inputs should be disabled when not in use to reduce the power consumption.
Table 9-4 describes the control of this function. INx_EN is set by register 0x02 (R2). See R2 Register for more
information on this register.

9.4.2 Bank Input Selection
Bank 0 and Bank 1 can choose between the two inputs to fanout four LVDS output pairs each. In the 2:1 input
mux mode, each bank must select the same clock input to output eight identical clocks. With the dual bank
mode, each bank can select a different clock input to distribute both inputs separately; this is analogous to
having two 1:4 buffers. When operating in dual bank mode, TI recommends that Bank 0 not select IN1 and Bank
1 not select IN0 to avoid crosstalk and degraded performance.
The BANKx_IN_SEL register field configures this function described in Table 9-5. BANKx_IN_SEL is set by
register 0x02 (R2). See R2 Register for more information on this register.

is low and OUTx_N is high).
Table 9-6 describes the control of this function. The BANKx_MUTE register field is set by register 0x02 (R2). See

9.4.4 Output Enable Control
The outputs of the LMK1D1208I can be individually enabled or disabled through the OUTx_EN register field.
The disabled state of the outputs is high impedance as this reduces the power consumption and also prevents
back-biasing of the devices connected to these outputs. Unused outputs should be disabled to eliminate the
need for a termination resistor. In the case of enabled unused outputs, TI recommends a 100-Ω termination for
optimal performance.
Table 9-7 describes the control of this function. OUTx_EN is set by register 0x00 (R0). See R0 Register for more
information on this register.

9.4.5 Output Amplitude Selection
The amplitude of the LMK1D1208I outputs can be individually programmed through the OUTx_AMP_SEL
register field. The boosted LVDS swing mode can be used in applications which require a higher output swing
for better noise performance (higher slew rate) or for swing requirements in the receiver that the standard LVDS
swing cannot meet.
Table 9-8 describes the control of this function. OUTx_AMP_SEL is set by register 0x01 (R1). See R1 Register
for more information on this register.

SNAS828A – FEBRUARY 2022 – REVISED JUNE 2023
10.2.1 Design Requirements
The LMK1D1208I shown in Figure 10-1 is configured to select two inputs: a 156.25-MHz LVDS clock from the
backplane at IN0, or a secondary 156.25-MHz LVCMOS 2.5-V oscillator at IN1. The LVDS clock is AC-coupled
and biased using the integrated reference voltage generator. A resistor divider is used to set the threshold
voltage correctly for the LVCMOS clock. 0.1-µF capacitors are used to reduce noise on both VAC_REF and IN1_N.
Either input signal can be then fanned out to desired devices via register control. The configuration example is
driving four LVDS receivers in a line card application with the following properties:
• The PHY device is capable of DC coupling with an LVDS driver such as the LMK1D1208I. This PHY device
features internal termination so no additional components are required for proper operation
• The ASIC LVDS receiver features internal termination and operates at the same common-mode voltage as
the LMK1D1208I. Again, no additional components are required.
• The FPGA requires external AC coupling, but has internal termination. 0.1-µF capacitors are placed to
provide AC coupling. Similarly, the CPU is internally terminated, and requires only external AC-coupling
capacitors.
• The unused outputs of the LMK1D1208I can be disabled by clearing the corresponding OUTx_EN register
through I2C. This results in a lower power consumption.
10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
See Input Termination for proper input terminations, dependent on single-ended or differential inputs.
See LVDS Output Termination for output termination schemes depending on the receiver application.
Unused outputs should be terminated differentially with a 100-Ω resistor or disabled through OUTx_EN register
control (see Table 9-7) for optimum performance. Outputs may be left unterminated, but will result in slight
degradation in performance (Output AC common-mode VOS ) in the outputs being used.
In this example, the PHY, ASIC, and FPGA or CPU require different schemes. Power-supply filtering and
bypassing is critical for low-noise applications.
See Power Supply Recommendations for recommended filtering techniques. A reference layout is provided in
Low-Additive Jitter, Four LVDS Outputs Clock Buffer Evaluation Board (SCAU043).

10.2.3 Application Curves
The following graphs show the low additive noise of the LMK1D1208I. The low noise 156.25-MHz source with
24-fs RMS jitter shown in Figure 10-2 drives the LMK1D1208I, resulting in 46.4-fs RMS when integrated from 12
kHz to 20 MHz (Figure 10-3). The resultant additive jitter is a low 39.7-fs RMS for this configuration.

Figure 10-4 shows the low close-in phase noise of the LMK1D1208I device. The LMK1D1208I has excellent
flicker noise as a result of superior process technology and design. This enables their use for clock distribution in
radar systems, medical imaging systems etc which require ultra-low close-in phase noise clocks.

10.3 Power Supply Recommendations
High-performance clock buffers are sensitive to noise on the power supply, which can dramatically increase the
additive jitter of the buffer. Thus, it is essential to reduce noise from the system power supply, especially when
jitter or phase noise is critical to applications.
Filter capacitors are used to eliminate the low-frequency noise from the power supply, where the bypass
capacitors provide the low impedance path for high-frequency noise and guard the power-supply system against
the induced fluctuations. These bypass capacitors also provide instantaneous current surges as required by the
device and must have low equivalent series resistance (ESR). To properly use the bypass capacitors, they must
be placed close to the power-supply pins and laid out with short loops to minimize inductance. TI recommends
adding as many high-frequency (for example, 0.1-µF) bypass capacitors as there are supply pins in the package.
TI recommends, but does not require, inserting a ferrite bead between the board power supply and the chip
power supply that isolates the high-frequency switching noises generated by the clock driver. These beads
prevent the switching noise from leaking into the board supply. Choose an appropriate ferrite bead with low DC
resistance, because it is imperative to provide adequate isolation between the board supply and the chip supply,
as well as to maintain a voltage at the supply pins that is greater than the minimum voltage required for proper
operation.
Figure 10-5 shows this recommended power-supply decoupling method.

10.4.1 Layout Guidelines
For reliability and performance reasons, the die temperature must be limited to a maximum of 135°C.
The device package has an exposed pad that provides the primary heat removal path to the printed circuit board
(PCB). To maximize the heat dissipation from the package, a thermal landing pattern including multiple vias to a
ground plane must be incorporated into the PCB within the footprint of the package. The thermal pad must be
soldered down to ensure adequate heat conduction to of the package. Figure 10-6 and Figure 10-7 show the
LMK1D1208I top and bottom PCB layer examples.
