Terminating PECL Outputs
The VCC6 incorporates a standard PECL output scheme, which are un-terminated emitters as shown in
Figure 4. There are numerous application notes on terminating and interfacing PECL logic and the two most
common methods are a single resistor to ground, Figure 5, and a pull-up/pull-down scheme as shown in
Figure 6. An AC coupling capacitor is optional, depending on the application and the input logic
requirements of the next stage.
One of the most important considerations is terminating the Output and Complementary Outputs equally.
An unused output should not be left un-terminated, and if it one of the two outputs is left open it will result in
excessive jitter on both. PC board layout must take this and 50 ohm impedance matching into account.
Load matching and power supply noise are the main contributors to jitter related problems.

Enable/Disable Functional Description
Under normal operation the Enable/Disable is left open, or set to a logic high state, and the VCC6 is
oscillating. When the E/D is set to a logic low, the oscillator stops and the both the output and
complementary outputs are in a high impedance state. This helps facilitate board testing and
troubleshooting.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can permanently damage the device. Functional
operation is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of conditions represented in the
operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods may
adversely affect device reliability.

Handling Precautions
Although ESD protection circuitry has been designed into the the VCC6, proper precautions should be taken
when handling and mounting. VI employs a Human Body Model and a Charged-Device Model (CDM) for
ESD susceptibility testing and design protection evaluation. ESD thresholds are dependent on the circuit
parameters used to define the model. Although no industry wide standard has been adopted for the CDM, a
standard HBM of resistance = 1.5kohms and capacitance = 100pF is widely used and therefore can be
used for comparison purposes.
