CLC006
Serial Digital Cable Driver with Adjustable Outputs

General Description

National’s Comlinear CLC006 is a monolithic, high-speed
cable driver designed for the SMPTE 259M serial digital
video data transmission standard. The CLC006 drives 75Ω
transmission lines (Belden 8281 or equivalent) at data rates
up to 400 Mbps. Controlled output rise andfalltimes(650ps
typical) minimize transition-induced jitter. The output voltage
swing, typically 1.65V, set by an accurate, low-drift internal
bandgap reference, delivers an 800 mV swing to back­matched and terminated 75Ω cable. Output swing is adjust­able from 0.7 V

p-p

to2V

p-p

using external resistors.

The CLC006’s class AB output stage consumes less power
than other designs, 185 mW with both outputs terminated,
and requires no external bias resistors. The differential in­puts accept a wide range of digitalsignalsfrom200mV

p-p

to
ECL levels within the specified common-mode limits. All this
make the CLC006 an excellent general purpose high speed
driver for digital applications.

The CLC006 is powered from a single +5V or −5.2V supply
and comes in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Operation

INPUT INTERFACING

The CLC006 has high impedance, emitter-follower buffered,
differential inputs. Single-ended signals may also be input.
Transmission lines supplying input signals must be properly
terminated close to the CLC006. EitherA.C. or D.C. coupling
as in

Figure 2orFigure 3

may be used.

Figures 2, 4

and

Fig-

ure 5

show how Thevenin-equivalent resistor networks are

used to provide input termination and biasing. The input D.C.
common-mode voltage range is 0.8V to 2.5V below the posi­tive power supply (V

CC

). Input signals plus bias should be
kept within the specified common-mode range. For an 800
mV

P-P

input signal, typical input bias levels range from 1.2V

to 2.1V below the positive supply.

OUTPUT INTERFACING

The CLC006’s class AB output stage,

Figure 6

, requires no
standing current in the output transistors and therefore re­quires no biasing or pull-down resistors. Advantages of this
arrangement are lower power dissipation and fewer external
components. The output may be either D.C. or A.C. coupled
to the load. A bandgap voltage reference sets output voltage
levels which are compatible with F100K and 10K ECL when
correctly terminated. The outputs do not have the same out­put voltage temperature coefficient as 10K. Therefore, noise
margins will be reduced over the full temperature range
when driving 10K ECL. Noise margins will not be affected
when interfacing to F100K since F100K is fully voltage and
temperature compensated.

Operation (Continued)

OUTPUT AMPLITUDE ADJUSTMENT

The high and low output levels of the CLC006 are set by a
circuit shown simplified in

Figure 8

. Output high and low lev­els may be set independently with external resistor networks
connected between R

EXT-H

(pin 3), R

EXT-L

(pin 4) and the
power supplies. The resistor networks affect the high and
low output levels by changing the internally generated bias
voltages, V

H

and VL. The nominal high and low output levels

are V

CC

−1.7V and VCC−3.3V, respectively, when the pins

R

EXT-H

and R

EXT-L

are left unconnected. Though the internal
components which determine output voltage levels have ac­curate ratios, their absolute values may be controlled only
within about

±

15%of nominal. Even so, without external ad­justment, output voltages are well controlled. A final design
should accommodate the variation in externally set output
voltages due to the CLC006’s part-to-part and external com­ponent tolerances.

Output voltage swing may be reduced with the circuit shown
in

Figure 9

. A single resistance chosen with the aid of the

graph,

Figure 10

, is connected between pins 3 and 4. Output

voltage swing may be increased with the circuit of

Figure 11

.

Figure 12

is used to estimate a value for resistor R. Note that
both of these circuits and the accompanying graphs assume
that the CLC006 is loaded with the standard 150Ω. Be aware
that output loading will affect the output swing and the high

and low levels. It may be necessary to empirically select re­sistances used to set output levels when the D.C. loading on
the CLC006 differs appreciably from 150Ω.

OUTPUT RISE AND FALL TIMES

Output load capacitance can significantly affect output rise
and fall times. The effect of load capacitance, stray or other­wise, may be reduced by placing the output back-match re­sistor close to the output pin and by minimizing all intercon­necting trace lengths.

Figure 13

shows the effect on risetime

of parallel load capacitance across a 150Ω load.

PCB Layout Recommendations

Printed circuit board layout affects the performance of the

CLC006. The following guidelines will aid in achieving satis-

factory device performance.

•

Use a ground plane or power/ground plane sandwich de­sign for optimum performance.

•

Bypass device power with a 0.01 µF monolithic ceramic
capacitor in parallel with a 6.8 µF tantalum electrolytic ca­pacitor located no more than 0.1″ (2.5 mm) from the de­vice power pins.

•

Provide short, symmetrical ground return paths for:
— inputs,
— supply bypass capacitors and
— the output load.

•

Provide short, grounded guard traces located
— under the centerline of the package,
— 0.1″ (2.5 mm) from the package pins
— on both top and bottom of the board with connecting

vias.

EVALUATION BOARD

A schematic, parts list and layout for a suitable evaluation
board are given on the following page. The artwork includes
trace, silk screen and ground layers. The individual printed
circuit board is available unassembled from National Semi­conductor. To order this evaluation board, part number

CLC730056, contact your local sales representative or
the National Semiconductor Customer Response Center
in your area. (This evaluation board is identical to that for

the CLC007 for which some of the listed parts are not re­quired.)

The evaluation board is a guide to proper circuit layout and
makes prototyping and measurement-taking easy. Since the
board is designed to accommodate many of the application
circuits possible with the CLC006, your particular application
may not require all of the listed parts or may require different
values. The evaluation board may be powered from standard
ECL supply voltages by installing the two jumpers in the lo­cations labeled “−5”. For PECL supply voltages, install the
jumpers in the locations labeled “+5”.
