OPT9221: SYSCLK_IN Requirements

Part Number: OPT9221

There seems to be limited information on the requirements for the SYSCLK_IN line for the OPT9221 controller. Specifically:

-Is this a square wave input or sine wave?

-What is the allowable jitter?

-How much current is the clock expected to supply?

-Are there any recommended reference designs?

Regards

  • Hi John,

    SYSCLK_IN is a 1.8V level input. The standard VIH (1.17V) and VIL (0.63V) voltages are relevant for this input. It's meant to be a square wave input and must conform to the VIH, VIL, recommended operating voltages.
    We have published a reference design of a working system and also sell evaluation modules for the same: www.ti.com/.../opt8241-cdk-evm. We have added up to 50 ohm resistors in series with an input signal and the system continues to work fine so that might help answer the question about the current.
