Differential input accepting single ended signal

Question

I am using the ADN2917 differential output as single ended inputs into the HMC856 and HMC726. The system is communicating at 10Gbps. I don't have the option of using a clock buffer. Can the circuit be connect like below?

Adding note about the clock buffer

Hi Ahtran, 
 Yes, you are right. DC coupling connectivity is not possible at the output section in this scenario and external pull-up required at output circuitry. AC coupling capacitors and pull-up resistors are must to be chosen such that the device should work properly without effecting the full data rates. Please refer to the applications information section in ADN2917 data sheet for choosing AC Coupling Capacitors.
