ADC14155 with differential clock

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADC14155

Please advise if the ADC14155 clock inputs are compatible with the LVPECL standard when in differential mode (CLK_SEL/DF = VA). The equivalent circuit on page 4 and the digital characteristics on page 8 of datasheet SNAS350H appear to apply only to single-ended mode and don't say much about differential mode. I have a version of my design running with this part and an LVPECL clock. It appears to work perfectly this way, but I want to make sure I'm not just lucky before proceeding to the next phase.

How about LVDS?

Thanks.

 

  • Mike,

    Driving the CLK input of this device with an LVPECL or LVDS signal is not recommended. The datasheet indicates the input receiver to be an inverter device which requires a signal that satisfies the specified VIN(0) and VIN(1). This receiver should not be viewed as having a flexible input common-mode range to accomodate LVPECL and LVDS, but rather a logic input which also accomodates a differential signal that satisfies 3.3V logic levels.
