DESCRIPTION:
The IDT8737-11 is a low skew, high performance differential-to-3.3V
LVPECL fanout buffer-divider. It has two selectable clock inputs. The CLK/
xCLK pair can accept most standard differential input levels. The PCLK/
xPCLK pair can accept LVPECL, CML, or SSTL input levels. The clock enable
is internally synchronized to eliminate runt pulses on the outputs during
asynchronous assertion/deassertion of the clock enable pin.
Guaranteed output and part-to-part skew characteristics make the IDT8737-
11 ideal for clock distribution applications that demand well-defined perfor-
mance and repeatability.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
WIRING THE DIFFERENTIAL INPUT TO ACCEPT SINGLE-ENDED LEVELS
The diagram below shows how the differential input can be wired to accept single-ended levels. The reference voltage VREF VDD/2 is 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 of R1 and R2 might need to be adjusted to
position the VREF in the center of the input voltage swing. For example, if the input clock swing is only 2.5V and VDD = 3.3V, VREF should be 1.25V and R2/
R1 = 0.609.

TERMINATION FOR LVPECL OUTPUTS
The clock layout topology shown below is a typical termination for LVPECL outputs. The two different layouts mentioned are recommended only as guidelines.
FOUT and xFOUT are low impedance follower outputs that generate ECL/LVPECL compatible outputs. Therefore, terminating resistors (DC current path to
ground) or current sources must be used for functionality. These outputs are designed to drive 50Ω transmission lines. Matched impedance techniques should
be used to maximize operating frequency and minimize signal distortion. The diagrams below show two different layouts which are recommended only as
guidelines. Other suitable clock layouts may exist. It is recommended that the board designers simulate to guarantee compatibility across all printed circuit and
clock component process variations.

POWER CONSIDERATIONS
This section provides information on power dissipation and junction temperature for the IDT8737-11. Equations and example calculations are also provided.
POWER DISSIPATION:
The total power dissipation for the IDT8737-11 is the sum of the core power plus the power dissipated in the load(s). The following is the power dissipation
for the VDD = 3.3V + 5% = 3.465V, which gives worst case results. Please refer to the following section, Calculations and Equations, for details on calculating
power dissipated in the load.
Power (core)MAX = VDD_MAX * ICC_MAX = 3.465 * 55mA = 190.57mW
Power (outputs)MAX = 30.2mW/Loaded Output Pair
If all outputs are loaded, the total power is 4 * 30.2mW = 120.8mW
Total Power_MAX (3.465V, with all outputs switching) = 190.57mW + 120.8mW = 311.37mW
JUNCTION TEMPERATURE:
Junction temperature (tJ) is the temperature at the junction of the bond wire and bond pad. It directly affects the reliability of the device. The maximum
recommended junction temperature for this device is 125°C.
The equation for is as follows: tJ = θJA * Pd_total + TA
tJ = Junction Temperature
θJA = Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
Pd_total = Total Device Power Dissipation (example calculation is in Power Dissipation, above)
TA = Ambient Temperature
In order to calculate junction temperature, the appropriate junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) must be used. Assuming a moderate air flow of 200
linear feet per minute and a multi-layer board, the appropriate value is 77.6°C/W per the following Thermal Resistance table. Therefore, tJ for an ambient
temperature of 85°C with all its outputs switching is:
85°C + 0.311W * 77.6°C/W = 109.16°C. This is well below the limit of 125°C.
This calculation is only an example. tJ will obviously vary depending on the number of loaded outputs, supply voltage, air flow, and the type of board (single-
layer or multi-layer).

LVPECL Output Driver Circuit and Termination
To calculate worst case power dissipation into the load, use the following equations, which assume a 50Ω load and a termination voltage of VDD – 2V.
For Logic HIGH: VOUT = VOH_MAX = VDD_MAX – 1V.
(VDD_MAX – VOH_MAX) = 1V
For Logic LOW: VOUT = VOL_MAX = VDD_MAX – 1.7V.
(VDD_MAX – VOL_MAX) = 1.7V
Pd_H is power dissipation when the output drives HIGH.
Pd_L is power dissipation when the output drives LOW.
Pd_H = {[ VOH_MAX – (VDD_MAX – 2V)] / RL} * (VDD_MAX – VOH_MAX) = {[ 2V – (VDD_MAX – VOH_MAX)] / RL} * (VDD_MAX – VOH_MAX) = [( 2V – 1V) / 50Ω] *
1V = 20mW.
Pd_L = {[ VOL_MAX – (VDD_MAX – 2V)] / RL} * (VDD_MAX – VOL_MAX) = {[ 2V – (VDD_MAX – VOL_MAX)] / RL} * (VDD_MAX – VOL_MAX) = [( 2V – 1.7V) / 50Ω] *
1.7V = 10.2mW.
Total Power Dissipation per output pair = Pd_H + Pd_L = 30.2mW
