NOTE

Figure 56 to Figure 59 below are for conceptual reference only. Due to the

fact that clock driver chip's internal structure, output impedance, and

termination requirements are different between various clock driver chip

manufacturers, it is very possible that the clock circuit reference designs

provided by the clock driver chip vendor are different from what is shown

below. They might also vary from one vendor to the other. Therefore,

Freescale Semiconductor can neither provide the optimal clock driver

reference circuits, nor guarantee the correctness of the following clock

driver connection reference circuits. The system designer is recommended

to contact the selected clock driver chip vendor for the optimal reference

circuits with the device SerDes reference clock receiver requirement

provided in this document.

Figure 56 shows the SerDes reference clock connection reference circuits for HCSL type clock driver. It

assumes that the DC levels of the clock driver chip is compatible with device SerDes reference clock

input’s DC requirement.

Figure 57 shows the SerDes reference clock connection reference circuits for LVDS type clock driver.

Since LVDS clock driver’s common-mode voltage is higher than the device SerDes reference clock input’s

allowed range (100 to 400 mV), AC-coupled connection scheme must be used. It assumes the LVDS
