the voltage drop criteria. The RC filter pictured will provide a
broadband filter with approximately 100:1 attenuation for
noise whose spectral content is above 20KHz. As the noise
frequency crosses the series resonant point of an individual
capacitor it’s overall impedance begins to look inductive and
thus increases with increasing frequency. The parallel
capacitor combination shown ensures that a low impedance
path to ground exists for frequencies well above the
bandwidth of the PLL.
Although the MPC974 has several design features to
minimize the susceptibility to power supply noise (isolated
power and grounds and fully differential PLL) there still may
be applications in which overall performance is being
degraded due to system power supply noise. The power
supply filter schemes discussed in this section should be
adequate to eliminate power supply noise related problems
in most designs.
Driving Transmission Lines
The MPC974 clock driver was designed to drive high
speed signals in a terminated transmission line environment.
To provide the optimum flexibility to the user the output
drivers were designed to exhibit the lowest impedance
possible. With an output impedance of less than 10Ω the
drivers can drive either parallel or series terminated
transmission lines. For more information on transmission
lines the reader is referred to application note AN1091 in the
Timing Solutions brochure (BR1333/D).

Figure 5. Single versus Dual Transmission Lines
In most high performance clock networks point–to–point
distribution of signals is the method of choice. In a
point–to–point scheme either series terminated or parallel
terminated transmission lines can be used. The parallel
technique terminates the signal at the end of the line with a
50Ω resistance to VCC/2. This technique draws a fairly high
level of DC current and thus only a single terminated line can
be driven by each output of the MPC974 clock driver. For the
series terminated case however there is no DC current draw,
thus the outputs can drive multiple series terminated lines.
Figure 5 illustrates an output driving a single series
terminated line vs two series terminated lines in parallel.
When taken to its extreme the fanout of the MPC974 clock
driver is effectively doubled due to its capability to drive
multiple lines.
The waveform plots of Figure 6 show the simulation
results of an output driving a single line vs two lines. In both
cases the drive capability of the MPC974 output buffers is
more than sufficient to drive 50Ω transmission lines on the
incident edge. Note from the delay measurements in the
simulations a delta of only 43ps exists between the two
differently loaded outputs. This suggests that the dual line
driving need not be used exclusively to maintain the tight
output–to–output skew of the MPC974. The output waveform
in Figure 6 shows a step in the waveform, this step is caused
by the impedance mismatch seen looking into the driver. The
parallel combination of the 43Ω series resistor plus the output
impedance does not match the parallel combination of the
line impedances. The voltage wave launched down the two
lines will equal:

Figure 6. Single versus Dual Waveforms
VL = VS ( Zo / Rs + Ro +Zo) = 3.0 (25/53.5) = 1.40V
At the load end the voltage will double, due to the near
unity reflection coefficient, to 2.8V. It will then increment
towards the quiescent 3.0V in steps separated by one round
trip delay (in this case 4.0ns).
Since this step is well above the threshold region it will not
cause any false clock triggering, however designers may be
uncomfortable with unwanted reflections on the line. To
better match the impedances when driving multiple lines the
situation in Figure 7 should be used. In this case the series
terminating resistors are reduced such that when the parallel
combination is added to the output buffer impedance the line
impedance is perfectly matched.
SPICE level output buffer models are available for
engineers who want to simulate their specific interconnect
schemes. In addition IV characteristics are in the process of
being generated to support the other board level simulators in
general use.
