Single-ended Mode

— The reference clock can also be single-ended. The SD _REF_CLK input amplitude

(single-ended swing) must be between 400 mV and 800 mVp-p (from Vmin to Vmax) with

SDn_REF_CLK either left unconnected or tied to ground.

—The SDn_REF_CLK input average voltage must be between 200 mV and 400 mV. Figure 58

shows the SerDes reference clock input requirement for single-ended signaling mode.

— To meet the input amplitude requirement, the reference clock inputs might need to be DC or

AC-coupled externally. For the best noise performance, the reference of the clock could be DC

or AC-coupled into the unused phase (SDn_REF_CLK) through the same source impedance as

the clock input (SDn_REF_CLK) in use.
