LMK04832: Need to understand the simulation results

Part Number: LMK04832

Tool/software:

Hi,

I am trying to understand the behavior of the circuit for LVPECL1600 - both DC and AC coupled 

LVPECL1600: The LMK04832 datasheet VOD  (DC measurement term = 50 Ohms to VCC-2V (1.3V)) specifies the VOD to be 800mV ( VOD-Peak-peak = 1600mV)

 However,  when I simulated in Hyperlynx using the provided IBIS model, I see VOD-Peak-Peak = 1.76V

LVPECL1600: The LMK04832 datasheet VOD  (Em = 120 Ω to ground Termination = AC coupled 100 Ω) specifies the VOD to be a range ( 760mV for 250MHz ; ~510mV  for 2.5GHz and ~370mV for 3.2GHz)

The VOD peak-Peak would be double that.

I am generating a 1611.32828236 MHz clock  and expect the VODPeak-Peak to  be between 1.5V and 1.02V ( from the datasheet)

However, I am seeing a VOD of 1.72V at the driver (LMK) and 1.63V at the load resistor. 

I wold have expected this to be less than 1.6VOD peak-peak?

 

  Thank you,
