LMK03318: How to deal with non use output channel if no disable output in code

Part Number: LMK03318

Hello E2E,

How to deal with non-use output channel?

In past design, customer already program that port output. due to some system design reason, they don't need that output clock anymore.

if customer doesn't want to do the re-programming to disable that channel, please advise the way to deal with that output channel.

We come out two ways, but we are not sure which one is better.

(1) tie 50 ohm to ground on that output channel

(2) remove its bias power at input side, but no change anything on output side 

BR,

Jason
