    Thread Summary
    
                The user asked if a 100 ohm resistor should be kept at the input of an LVDS receiver when using an AD9517-0 LVPECL output to drive it. The final answer from the support engineer indicates that the 100 ohm resistor is not needed and would halve the signal amplitude. The support engineer also noted that the maximum frequency for LVPECL to LVDS conversion is 1.6 GHz, as this is the highest frequency at which the amplitude is sufficient for most LVPECL receivers to function properly.

    Hello everyone:
    
 
    I am using one AD9517-0 LVPECL output to drive a fanout buffer to convert the signal to two LDVS signals.
    
 
    In the AD9517-0 datasheet I can see this figure to interface LVPECL stages:
    
 
    
 
    On the other hand, in the datasheet of the fanout buffer, I can see this other configuration:
    
 
    
 
    My dessign follows the AD recomendation (first schematic) and incorporates R1 to R4 of the second schematic.
    
 
    Question: Should I keep the 100 Ohn resistor at the imput of the receiver (as proposed in the AD schematic)?
    
 
    Thanks in advance
    
 
    Regards
