LMK05318: What will happen if we make a LVCMOS output working on 3.3V VDDO.

Part Number: LMK05318

Tool/software:

The datasheet (p.8) said:

"The LVCMOS driver supports full rail-to-rail swing when VDDO_x is 1.8 V ±5%. When VDDO_x is 2.5 V or 3.3 V, the LVCMOS driver will not fully swing to the positive rail due to the dropout voltage of the output channel's internal LDO regulator."

As what it said, can i apply a 3.3V on VDDO in order to get a larger swing range of LVCMOS? or it may damage the chip?

Our customer required 1.4Vpp at least, meanwhile the minimal VOH of LMK05318 for LVCMOS18 is 1.2v, maxium VOL for LVCMOS18 is 0.4V. So in worst case, the output cannot satisfied requirement.

If the answer is we cannot apply 3.3V on it, dose Ti have any solution to get the clock output a larger swing?

  • Hi Alan,

    You can use VDDO = 3.3V ± 5%. The LVCMOS LDO will always drive 1.8V output swing, meaning the typical LVCMOS swing is Vpp = 1.8V. Under different operating conditions, the swing level might fluctuate but VOL would not exceed 0.4V and VOH would not be lower than 1.2V.
