Figure 2 shows how the differential input can be wired to accept

single ended levels. The reference voltage V_REF = V

generated by the bias resistors R1, R2 and C1. This bias circuit

should be located as close as possible to the input pin. The ratio

As in any high speed analog circuitry, the power supply pins

are vulnerable to random noise. The ICS8624 provides sepa-

rate power supplies to isolate any high switching

noise from the outputs to the internal PLL. V

should be individually connected to the power supply

plane through vias, and bypass capacitors should be

used for each pin. To achieve optimum jitter performance,

power supply isolation is required.

capacitor should be connected to each V

the center of the input voltage swing. For example, if the input
