CDCLVP1102 - Can this take an HCSL signal on the input pin and output an LVPECL signal?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CDCLVP1102, CDCLVP1204, CDCLVD1204

Hi Team,

Can the CDCLVP1102 accept an HCSL signal on the input pin?

Is there some sort of coupling and biasing/termination network that can be used?

The goal here is HCSL input into the buffer and LVPECL output.

Best Regards,

  • Brian,

    HCSL driver interface to DIFF input of CDCLVP1102.  The double termination attenuates the HCSL swing in half to stay within the differential input swing specifications.  Rb resistors are used to bias the AC coupled inputs within the input common voltage range.  This scheme would also work for CDCLVP1204/08/12/16, CDCLVD1204/08/12/16.
