The clock inputs of the ADS614X can be driven differentially (SINE, LVPECL, or LVDS) or single-ended
(LVCMOS), with little or no difference in performance between configurations. The common-mode voltage of the
clock inputs is set to VCM using internal 5-k Ω resistors as shown in Figure 100 . This allows the use of
transformer-coupled drive circuits for the sine wave clock, or ac-coupling for the LVPECL, LVDS clock sources
(see Figure 102 and Figure 103 ).
For best performance, it is recommended to drive the clock inputs differentially, reducing susceptibility to
common-mode noise. In this case, it is best to connect both clock inputs to the differential input clock signal with
0.1- µ F capacitors, as shown in Figure 102 . A single-ended CMOS clock can be ac-coupled to the CLKP input,
with CLKM connected to ground with a 0.1- µ F capacitor, as shown in Figure 103 .
For high input frequency sampling, a clock source with very low jitter is recommended. Band-pass filtering of the
clock source can help reduce the effect of jitter. There is no change in performance with a non-50% duty cycle
clock input. Figure 24 shows the performance of the ADC versus clock duty cycle.
