CDCE706

The CDCE706 features two clock inputs which can be used as:

• Crystal oscillator input (default setting)

• Two independent single-ended LVCMOS inputs

• Differential signal input

The dedicated clock input can be selected by the input signal source bits [7:6] of byte 11.

Crystal Oscillator Inputs

The input frequency range in crystal mode is 8 MHz to 54 MHz. The CDCE706 uses Pierce-type oscillator

circuitry with included feedback resistance for the inverting amplifier. The user, however, must add external

be calculated:

device, including the board capacitance (stray capacitance of PCB).

It is important to use a short PCB trace from the device to the crystal unit to keep the stray capacitance of the

oscillator loop to a minimum.

Figure 14. Crystal Input Circuitry

In order to ensure stable oscillation, a certain drive power must be applied. The CDCE706 features an input

oscillator with adaptive gain control, which relieves the user of manually programming the gain. Additionally,

adaptive gain control eliminates the use of external resistors to compensate the ESR of the crystal. The drive

level is the amount of power dissipated by the oscillating crystal unit and is usually specified in terms of power

dissipated by the resonator (equivalent series resistance (ESR)). Figure 15 gives the resulting drive level vs

crystal frequency and ESR.
