Recommendations for Unused Input and Output Pins
Inputs:
Outputs:
LVCMOS Control Pins
LVCMOS Outputs
All control pins have internal pullups or pulldowns; additional
resistance is not required but can be added for additional protection.
A 1k resistor can be used.
All unused LVCMOS outputs can be left floating. There should be no
trace attached.
PCLK/nPCLK Inputs
For applications not requiring the use of the differential input, both
PCLK and nPCLK can be left floating. Though not required, but for
additional protection, a 1k resistor can be tied from PCLK to
ground.
Crystal Inputs
For applications not requiring the use of the crystal oscillator input,
both XTAL_IN and XTAL_OUT can be left floating. Though not
required, but for additional protection, a 1k resistor can be tied from
XTAL_IN to ground.

Overdriving the XTAL Interface
The XTAL_IN input can be overdriven by an LVCMOS driver or by one
side of a differential driver through an AC coupling capacitor. The
XTAL_OUT pin can be left floating. The amplitude of the input signal
should be between 500mV and 1.8V and the slew rate should not be
less than 0.2V/nS. For 3.3V LVCMOS inputs, the amplitude must be
reduced from full swing to at least half the swing in order to prevent
signal interference with the power rail and to reduce internal noise.
Figure 1A shows an example of the interface diagram for a high
speed 3.3V LVCMOS driver. This configuration requires that the sum
of the output impedance of the driver (Ro) and the series resistance
(Rs) equals the transmission line impedance. In addition, matched
termination at the crystal input will attenuate the signal in half. This
VDD
can be done in one of two ways. First, R1 and R2 in parallel should
equal the transmission line impedance. For most 50 applications,
R1 and R2 can be 100. This can also be accomplished by removing
R1 and changing R2 to 50. The values of the resistors can be
increased to reduce the loading for a slower and weaker LVCMOS
driver. Figure 1B shows an example of the interface diagram for an
LVPECL driver. This is a standard LVPECL termination with one side
of the driver feeding the XTAL_IN input. It is recommended that all
components in the schematics be placed in the layout. Though some
components might not be used, they can be utilized for debugging
purposes. The datasheet specifications are characterized and
guaranteed by using a quartz crystal as the input.

VFQFN EPAD Thermal Release Path
In order to maximize both the removal of heat from the package and
the electrical performance, a land pattern must be incorporated on
the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) within the footprint of the package
corresponding to the exposed metal pad or exposed heat slug on the
package, as shown in Figure 4. The solderable area on the PCB, as
defined by the solder mask, should be at least the same size/shape
as the exposed pad/slug area on the package to maximize the
thermal/electrical performance. Sufficient clearance should be
designed on the PCB between the outer edges of the land pattern
and the inner edges of pad pattern for the leads to avoid any shorts.
and dependent upon the package power dissipation as well as
electrical conductivity requirements. Thus, thermal and electrical
analysis and/or testing are recommended to determine the minimum
number needed. Maximum thermal and electrical performance is
achieved when an array of vias is incorporated in the land pattern. It
is recommended to use as many vias connected to ground as
possible. It is also recommended that the via diameter should be 12
to 13mils (0.30 to 0.33mm) with 1oz copper via barrel plating. This is
desirable to avoid any solder wicking inside the via during the
soldering process which may result in voids in solder between the
exposed pad/slug and the thermal land. Precautions should be taken
to eliminate any solder voids between the exposed heat slug and the
land pattern. Note: These recommendations are to be used as a
guideline only. For further information, please refer to the Application
Note on the Surface Mount Assembly of Amkor’s Thermally/
Electrically Enhance Leadframe Base Package, Amkor Technology.
While the land pattern on the PCB provides a means of heat transfer
and electrical grounding from the package to the board through a
solder joint, thermal vias are necessary to effectively conduct from
the surface of the PCB to the ground plane(s). The land pattern must
be connected to ground through these vias. The vias act as “heat
pipes”. The number of vias (i.e. “heat pipes”) are application specific

Schematic Example
Figure 5 (next page) shows an example 840NT4-01 application
schematic. This schematic example focuses on functional
connections and is not configuration specific. Refer to the pin
description and functional tables in the datasheet to ensure that the
logic control inputs are properly set. In this schematic, the device is
operated at VDD = VDDA = 2.5V and VDDO_A, VDDO_B, VDDO_C and
VDDO_REF = 1.8V.
ground plane and all deeper layers until the next ground plane is
reached. The ground connection of the tuning capacitors should first
be made between the capacitors on the top layer, then a single
ground via is dropped to connect the tuning cap ground to the ground
plane as close to the 840NT4-01 as possible as shown in the
schematic.
This device package has an ePAD that is connected to ground
internally. The ePAD is to be connected to VEE/GND through vias in
order to improve heat dissipation.
A 12pF parallel resonant 25MHz crystal (IDT/ Fox Part #603-25-173)
is used with the recommended load capacitors C1 = C2 = 3.3pF for
frequency accuracy. Depending on the parasitic capacity on the
crystal terminals of the printed circuit board layout, these values
might require a slight adjustment to optimize the frequency accuracy.
Crystals with other load capacitance specifications can be used. This
will require adjusting C1 and C2. For this device, the crystal load
capacitors are required for proper operation.
As with any high speed analog circuitry, the power supply pins are
vulnerable to random noise. To achieve optimum jitter performance,
power supply isolation is required. The 840NT4-01 provides separate
power supply pins to isolate any high switching noise from coupling
into the internal PLL.
Crystal layout is very important to minimize capacitive coupling
between the crystal pads and leads and other metal in the circuit
board. Capacitive coupling to other conductors has two adverse
effects; it reduces the oscillator frequency leaving less tuning margin
and noise coupling from power planes and logic transitions on signal
traces can pull the phase of the crystal resonance, inducing jitter.
Routing I2C under the crystal is a very common layout error, based
on the assumption that it is a low frequency signal and will not affect
the crystal oscillation. In fact, I2C transition times are short enough to
capacitively couple into the crystal if they are routed close enough to
the crystal traces.
In order to achieve the best possible filtering, it is recommended that
the placement of the filter components be on the device side of the
PCB as close to the power pins as possible. If space is limited, the
0.1F capacitor in each power pin filter should be placed on the
device side. The other components can be on the opposite side of the
PCB.
Power supply filter recommendations are a general guideline to be
used for reducing external noise from coupling into the devices. The
filter performance is designed for a wide range of noise frequencies.
This low-pass filter starts to attenuate noise at approximately 10kHz.
If a specific frequency noise component is known, such as switching
power supplies frequencies, it is recommended that component
values be adjusted and if required, additional filtering be added.
Additionally, good general design practices for power plane voltage
stability suggests adding bulk capacitance in the local area of all
devices.
In layout, all capacitive coupling to the crystal from any signal trace is
to be minimized, that is to the XTAL_IN and XTAL_OUT pins, traces
to the crystal pads, the crystal pads and the tuning capacitors. Using
a crystal on the top layer as an example, void all signal and power
layers under the crystal connections between the top layer and the
ground plane used by the 840NT4-01. Then calculate the parasitic
capacity to the ground and determine if it is large enough to preclude
tuning the oscillator. If the coupling is excessive, particularly if the first
layer under the crystal is a ground plane, a layout option is to void the

Power Considerations
This section provides information on power dissipation and junction temperature for the 840NT4-01.
Equations and example calculations are also provided.
1.
Power Dissipation.
The total power dissipation for the 840NT4-01 is the sum of the static power plus the dynamic power dissipation due to loading. The following
is the power dissipation for VDD = 3.3V +5% = 3.465V, which gives worst case results.
The maximum core current at 85°C, IDDmax = 150mA
Static Power (max)
= [VDD_MAX * (IDD_MAX + IDD_XTAL + IDDA + IDDO_X)]
= [3.465V * (150mA + 30mA + 8mA)]
= 651.4mW
Dynamic Power Dissipation (max), Clocks for Freescale B4/T4 Processor
= [CPD * (N * Frequency + N * Frequency + N * Frequency) * (VDDO)2]
= [9pF *(8 * 125MHz + 1 * 25MHz + 1 * 24MHz) * (3.465V)2]
= 113.4mW
Total Power
= Static Power + Dynamic Power Dissipation
= 651.4mW + 113.4mW
= 0.765W
2. Junction Temperature.
Junction temperature, Tj, is the temperature at the junction of the bond wire and bond pad, and directly affects the reliability of the device. The
maximum recommended junction temperature is 125°C. Limiting the internal transistor junction temperature, Tj, to 125°C ensures that the bond
wire and bond pad temperature remains below 125°C.
The equation for Tj is as follows: Tj = JA * Pd_total + TA
Tj = Junction Temperature
JA = Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
Pd_total = Total Device Power Dissipation (example calculation is in section 1 above)
TA = Ambient Temperature
In order to calculate junction temperature, the appropriate junction-to-ambient thermal resistance JA must be used. Assuming no air flow and
a multi-layer board, the appropriate value is 30°C/W per Table 8 below.
Therefore, Tj for an ambient temperature of 85°C with all outputs switching is:
85°C + 0.765W * 30°C/W = 108°C. This is below the limit of 125°C.
This calculation is only an example. Tj will obviously vary depending on the number of loaded outputs, supply voltage, air flow and the type of
board (multi-layer).
