General Description
The HMC987LP5E 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 clocknetwork bandwidth is wide enough to allow squarewave 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.

Theory of Operation
HMC987LP5E Parallel Port Control
The various outputs of the HMC987LP5E 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.

HMC987LP5E Input Stage
The HMC987LP5E input stage, Figure 23, 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 (100 Ω or 300 Ω differential). The DC bias level of 2.0 V can be generated internally by programming Reg03h[1] =1 (default configuration), supplied externally, or generated via an LVPECL termination network inside the part.

HMC987LP5E LVPECL Output Stage
The LVPECL output driver produces up to 1.6 Vppd swing into 50 Ω 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 32. HMC987LP5E 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 33 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 33, among many others.

HMC987LP5E RF Output Stage
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 Reg04h for more information.

HMC987LP5E Serial Port Interface (SPI) Control
HMC987LP5E can be controlled via SPI or parallel port control (for more information on parallel control see “ HMC987LP5E Parallel Port Control”). SPI control offers more flexibility. External pin PMODE-SEL = 1 configures the HMC987LP5E for parallel port operation, while PMODE-SEL = 0 will enable the SPI control of HMC987LP5E. 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. b. Compatibility with general serial port protocols that use a shift and strobe approach to communication. Compatible with HMC multi-Chip solutions, useful to address multiple chips of various types from a single serial port bus.

A typical WRITE cycle is shown in Figure 35. a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. The Master (host) places 9 bit data, d8:d0, MSB first, on SDI on the first 9 falling edges of SCLK. The slave (HMC987LP5E) shifts in data on SDI on the first 9 rising edges of SCLK Master places 4 bit register address to be written to, r3:r0, MSB first, on the next 4 falling edges of SCLK (10-13) Slave shifts the register address bits on the next 4 rising edges of SCLK (10-13). Master places 3 bit chip address, a2:a0, MSB first, on the next 3 falling edges of SCLK (14-16). The HMC987LP5E chip address is fixed at 001. Slave shifts the chip address bits on the 3 rising edges of SCLK (14-16). Master asserts SEN after the 16th rising edge of SCLK. Slave registers the SDI data on the rising edge of SEN.

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 36. 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. An example of the two cycle procedure to read from any random address is as follows:

The Master (host), on the first 9 falling edges of SCLK places 9 bit data, d8:d0, MSB first, on SDI as shown in Figure 36. d8:d0 should be set to zero. d3:d0 = address of the register to be READ on the next cycle. a. b. The slave (HMC987LP5E) shifts in data on SDI on the first 9 rising edges of SCLK Master places 4 bit register address , r3:r0, ( the address the WRITE ADDRESS register), MSB first, on the next 4 falling edges of SCLK (10-13). r3:r0=0000. c. Slave shifts the register bits on the next 4 rising edges of SCLK (10-13). d. Master places 3 bit chip address, a2:a0, MSB first, on the next 3 falling edges of SCLK (14-16). The HMC987LP5E chip address is fixed at 001. 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 (HMC987LP5E) 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.
