CLC5957 Applications
Analog Inputs and Bias
ENCODE Clock Inputs
Figure 1 depicts the analog input and bias scheme. Each
of the differential analog inputs are internally biased to a
nominal voltage of 2.40 volts DC through a 500Ω resistor
to a low impedance buffer. This enables a simple
interface to a broadband RF transformer with a center-
tapped output winding that is decoupled to the analog
ground. If the application requires the inputs to be DC
The CLC5957’s differential input clock scheme is
compatible with all commonly used clock sources.
Although small differential and single-ended signals are
adequate, for best aperture jitter performance a low noise
differential clock with a high slew rate is preferred. As
depicted in Figure 3, both ENCODE clock inputs are
internally biased to V /2 though a pair of 5KΩ resistors.

be used. The diode is necessary to prevent the logic gate
from altering the ADC bias value.
