High-Speed Data and Clock Output
The high-speed data and clock output drivers consist of a differential pair designed to drive a 50Ω transmis-
sion line. The transmission line should be terminated with a 100Ω resistor at the load between true and comple-
ment outputs (see Figure 6). Connection to a termination voltage is not required. The output driver is back
terminated to 50Ω on-chip, providing a snubbing of any reflections. If used single-ended, the high-speed output
driver must still be terminated differentially at the load with a 100Ω resistor between true and complement out-
puts. The high-speed clock output can be powered down for additional power savings. To power down the high-
speed clock, tie the associated pins to VCC (see Table 3, Package Pin Identifications, pins 5,6,7).

Clock Generator
An on-chip PLL generates the 2.48832GHz (or up to 2.7GHz for FEC) transmit clock from the externally
provided REFCLK input. The on-chip PLL uses a low phase noise reactance-based Voltage Controlled Oscilla-
tor (VCO) with an on-chip loop filter. The loop bandwidth of the PLL is within the SONET specified limit of
2MHz.
