LVDS FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER
CRYSTAL INPUT INTERFACE
A crystal can be characterized for either series or parallel mode
operation. The ICS8442I has a built-in crystal oscillator circuit.
This interface can accept either a series or parallel crystal without
additional components and generate frequencies with accuracy
suitable for most applications. Additional accuracy can be
achieved by adding two small capacitors C1 and C2 as shown in
Figure 3. Typical results using parallel 18pF crystals are shown
in Table 10.

LVDS DRIVER TERMINATION
A general LVDS interface is shown in Figure 4. In a 100Ω differ-
ential transmission line environment, LVDS drivers require a
matched load termination of 100Ω across near the receiver in-
put. For a multiple LVDS outputs buffer, if only partial outputs
are used, it is recommended to terminate the un-used outputs.
