66AK2E05: PCIE & XFI Clock Inputs

Part Number: 66AK2E05

The datasheet is ambiguous about the Common-Mode voltage and Electrical requirements for PCIE0CLKP/N, PCIE1CLKP/N, and XFICLKP/N.  All it says is it is powered from VDDAHV (1.8V) and is a Serdes/CML buffer.

Presently I have this directly driven by a 3.3V LVDS driver, no AC coupling.  Is this acceptable or will it cause damage?
