The DC level requirement for the device SerDes reference clock inputs is different depending on the
signaling mode used to connect the clock driver chip and SerDes reference clock inputs as described
below.

— The SerDes reference clock input can be either differential or single-ended. Refer to the
The maximum average current requirement that also determines the common mode voltage range
— When the SerDes reference clock differential inputs are DC coupled externally with the clock
— This current limitation sets the maximum common mode input voltage to be less than 0.4 V
— If the device driving the SDn_REF_CLK and SDn_REF_CLK inputs cannot drive 50 Ω to
The input amplitude requirement
— This requirement is described in detail in the following sections.
Differential Mode
— The input amplitude of the differential clock must be between 400 mV and 1600 mV

driver chip, the maximum average current allowed for each input pin is 8 mA. In this case, the
exact common mode input voltage is not critical as long as it is within the range allowed by the
maximum average current of 8 mA (refer to the following bullet for more detail), since the
input is AC-coupled on-chip.
(0.4 V ÷ 50 = 8 mA) while the minimum common mode input level is 0.1 V above
SGND_SRDSn (xcorevss). For example, a clock with a 50/50 duty cycle can be produced by
a clock driver with output driven by its current source from 0 mA to 16 mA (0–0.8 V), such
that each phase of the differential input has a single-ended swing from 0 V to 800 mV with the
common mode voltage at 400 mV.

must be AC-coupled off-chip.

each signal wire of the differential pair must have a single-ended swing less than 800 mV and
