GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADCLK914 is an ultrafast clock/data buffer fabricated on
the Analog Devices, Inc., proprietary, complementary bipolar
(XFCB-3) silicon-germanium (SiGe) process. The ADCLK914
features high voltage differential signaling (HVDS) outputs
suitable for driving the latest Analog Devices high speed digitalto-analog converters (DACs). The ADCLK914 has a single,
differential open-collector output.
The ADCLK914 buffer operates up to 7.5 GHz with a 160 ps
propagation delay and adds only 110 fs random jitter (RJ).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
POWER/GROUND LAYOUT AND BYPASSING
The ADCLK914 buffer is designed for very high speed applications. Consequently, high speed design techniques must be used
to achieve the specified performance. It is critically important to
use low impedance supply planes for both the negative supply
(V
) and the positive supply (VCC) planes as part of a multilayer
EE
board. Providing the lowest inductance return path for switching
currents ensures the best possible performance in the target
application.
It is also important to adequately bypass the input and output
supplies. Place a 1 µF electrolytic bypass capacitor within several
inches of each power supply pin to ground. In addition, place
multiple high quality 0.001 µF bypass capacitors as close as
possible to each V
and VCC supply pin and connect these cap-
EE
acitors to the GND plane with redundant vias. Carefully select
high frequency bypass capacitors for minimum inductance and
ESR. To maximize the effectiveness of the bypass capacitors at
high frequencies, strictly avoid parasitic layout inductance.
Slew currents may also appear at the V
and VSS pins of the
DD
device being driven by the ADCLK914.
HVDS OUTPUT STAGE
The ADCLK914 has been developed to provide a bipolar interface
to any CMOS device that requires extremely low jitter, high
amplitude clocks. It is intended to be placed as close as possible
to the receiving device and allows the rest of the clock distribution to run at standard CML or PECL levels.
Interconnects must be short and very carefully designed
because the single terminated design provides much less
margin for error than lower voltage, double terminated
transmission techniques.

INTERFACING TO HIGH SPEED DACs
The ADCLK914 is designed to drive high amplitude, low jitter
clock signals into high speed, multi-GSPS DACs. The ADCLK914
should be placed as close as possible to the clock input of the
DAC so that the high slew rate and high amplitude clock signal
that these devices require do not cause routing difficulties,
generate EMI, or become degraded by dielectric and other
losses. The ADCLK914, in turn, may be driven directly by
standard or low swing PECL, CML, CMOS, or LVTTL sources,
or by LVDS with simple ac coupling, as illustrated in Figure 15
through Figure 19.
OPTIMIZING HIGH SPEED PERFORMANCE
As with any high speed circuit, proper design and layout techniques are essential to obtaining the specified performance.
Stray capacitance, inductance, inductive power, and ground
impedances, as well as other layout issues, can severely limit
performance and can cause oscillation. Discontinuities along
input and output transmission lines can also severely limit the
specified jitter performance by reducing the effective input
slew rate.
Input and output matching have a significant impact on
performance. The ADCLK914 buffer provides internal 50 Ω
termination resistors for both D and
D
inputs. The return side
can be connected to the reference pin provided or to a current
sink at V
direct coupled CML. The V
− 2 V for use with differential PECL, or to VCC for
CC
pin should be left floating any
REF
time that it is not used to minimize power consumption.
Note that the ADCLK914 V
damage from momentary shorts to V
charging currents; for this reason, the V
source is current-limited to resist
REF
or VCC and from capacitor
EE
source cannot be
REF
used as a PECL termination supply.
Carefully bypass the termination potential using ceramic capacitors to prevent undesired aberrations on the input signal due
to parasitic inductance in the termination return path. If the
inputs are directly coupled to a source, care must be taken to
ensure that the pins remain within the rated input differential
and common-mode ranges.
If the return is floated, the device exhibits 100 Ω cross-termination, but the source must then control the common-mode
voltage and supply the input bias currents.
ESD/clamp diodes between the input pins prevent the application of excessive offsets to the input transistors. ESD diodes
are not optimized for best ac performance. If a clamp is needed,
it is recommended that appropriate external diodes be used.
RANDOM JITTER
The ADCLK914 buffer has been specifically designed to
minimize random jitter over a wide input range. Provided
that sufficient voltage swing is present, random jitter is affected
most by the slew rate of the input signal. Whenever possible,
clamp excessively large input signals with fast Schottky diodes
because attenuators reduce the slew rate. Input signal runs of
more than a few centimeters should be over low loss dielectrics
or cables with good high frequency characteristics.
