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 nFOUT are low impedance follower outputs that
generate ECL/LVPECL compatible outputs. Therefore, termi-
nating resistors (DC current path to ground) or current sources
must be used for functionality. These outputs are designed to

Ω transmission lines. Matched impedance techniques
should be used to maximize operating frequency and minimize
signal distortion. Figures 5A and 5B show two different layouts
which are recommended only as guidelines. Other suitable clock
layouts may exist and it would be recommended that the board
designers simulate to guarantee compatibility across all printed
circuit and clock component process variations.
