CLOCK INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
For optimum performance, drive the AD9484 sample clock
inputs (CLK+ and CLK−) with a differential signal. This signal
is typically ac-coupled into the CLK+ and CLK− pins via a
transformer or capacitors. These pins are biased at ~0.9 V
internally and require no additional bias. If the clock signal is
dc-coupled, then the common-mode voltage should remain
within a range of 0.9 V.
Figure 33 shows one preferred method for clocking the AD9484.
The low jitter clock source is converted from single-ended to
differential using an RF transformer. The back-to-back Schottky
diodes across the secondary transformer limit clock excursions
into the AD9484 to approximately 0.8 V p-p differential. This
helps prevent the large voltage swings of the clock from feeding
through to other portions of the AD9484 and preserves the fast
rise and fall times of the signal, which are critical to low jitter
performance.

Figure 33. Transformer-Coupled Differential Clock
If a low jitter clock is available, another option is to ac couple a
differential PECL signal to the sample clock input pins, as
shown in Figure 31. The AD9510/AD9511/AD9512/AD9513/
AD9514/AD9515 family of clock drivers offers excellent jitter
performance.
In some applications, it may be acceptable to drive the sample
clock inputs with a single-ended 1.8 V CMOS signal. In such
applications, drive the CLK+ pin directly from a CMOS gate,
and bypass the CLK− pin to ground with a 0.1 F capacitor in
parallel with a 39 k resistor (see Figure 34).
