Setting Up the Evaluation Board for the ADCLK854
PACKAGE LIST
Evaluation board with components installed
Applicable documents (schematic and layout)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This user guide describes how to set up and use the evaluation
board for the ADCLK854. The ADCLK854 data sheet contains
full technical details about the specifications and operation of this
device and should be consulted when using the evaluation board.
The ADCLK854 is a high performance clock fanout buffer.
The evaluation board is fabricated using a high quality Rogers®
dielectric material. Transmission line paths are kept as close to
100 Ω differentially as possible.

The recommended setup for the ADCLK854 evaluation board
is shown in Figure 2. V
is set to 1.8 V. The IN_SEL jumper

inputs are set up for
ADCLK854
configuration requires the user to provide the appropriate ac
swing to both inputs. Refer to the data sheet and
the schematic (see ) for the input specifications.

CLK1 is set up to evaluate with a single-ended source via the balun
on the evaluation board. In addition, series capacitors in the
path provide ac-coupled inputs to the ADCLK854.
POWER SUPPLY

The range of the peak-to-peak input voltage swing at CLK1 is
0.15 V to 1.8 V. Output jitter performance is degraded by input
slew rate, as shown in the ADCLK854 data sheet.

CLOCK OUTPUTS
The ADCLK854 outputs are pin programmable up to 12
differential LVDS outputs or 24 single-ended 1.8 V CMOS
outputs. Jumpers CTRL_A, CTRL_B, CTRL_C, and SLEEP
are used to configure the outputs. See Tab le 2 and Figure 3
for jumper assignments.
For high precision measurements, it is recommended to evaluate the
nonlaunched outputs on the evaluation board. The nonlaunched
outputs do not go to the SMA connectors. In this case, the
ADCLK854 is physically close to the output load and avoids the
issues of driving a 50 Ω cable. Note that CMOS is not designed
to operate in a 50 Ω environment.
The nonlaunched outputs have a full output swing with 100 Ω
differential trace impedance into a 100 Ω resistor to minimize
reflections. These outputs are set up to evaluate using a high
bandwidth differential probe and oscilloscope. See the
evaluation board schematic in Figure 4 for more details.

The outputs that go to the SMA connector may not have a full
