LTC2107 clock input power

Category: Choose a category
Software Version: LTC2107

Hello,

I am designing a board with the LTC2107 designed to be used for 30 to 90 MHz.

I think ill clock it with a 200MHz LVDS osc with 150fS of RMS jitter.

My question is how much will it 0.4Vptp ouput drive voltage hurt performance and should i amplify it somehow?

If i should inedeed amplify it, in what manner/ with what sort of IC should i use?

thanks :)

Hi,

For optimum SNR performance, data sheet recommends to source 2Vp-p differential encode signal. The clock jitter is the most important parameter in designing a good clock circuit as this can potentially limit the SNR of your ADC. Hence, it is important to consider the clock source and associated circuitry to reduce jitter. I haven't encountered an amplifier in any of our clock circuitry; this can also be a potential source of additive jitter hence I cannot recommend one. 

But there's a recommended article that might help you in designing your clock system Analog-to-Digital Converter Clock Optimization: A Test Engineering Perspective | Analog Devices. Page 20 of the datasheet also describe details in designing LTC2107 clock input.

Regards,

Meriam
