PIN DEFINITIONS (Continued)
NOTES:
1.
 a)
  These runs are to be held to an impedance of 50
.  See 
Microstrip
 or 
Stripline
 above.  Parallel Termination 130/82
 shall be placed at their
destinations; 
b)
  Runs must be of equal length to their corresponding differential counterpart.  For example:  RSER+ is equal to RSER
–
, RCLK+ is equal
to RCLK
–
, etc.; 
c)
  These pairs must experience the same terrain of the PWB;  
d)
  Runs shall be constant distance to ground throughout their route.  This
will reduce crosstalk;  
e)
  Transmit runs shall be separated from receive runs.
2. Effective use of Common Mode Chokes or RF Beads dictate the following rules:  
a)
  Single Ended Signals shall utilize one half and the other should be
connected to Grounds.  This recommendation includes V
CC
.  For this application ensure the Choke's )or RF Bead's) Max.  Impedance is below the
Fundamental (First) Harmonic; 
b)
  Differential Signals would have the positive signal on one half and the negative signal on the other.  For this application
ensure the Choke's max. Impedance is beyond the third harmonic.  Failure to do so will result in sinusoidal waveforms instead of square waveforms.  RF
Beads are NOT recommended for this application;  
c)
  Separation of Grounds would have noisy ground on both of the inputs and clean (Analog or Receive)
Ground on both of the outputs.  For this application ensure the Choke's (or RF Bead's) Max. Impedance is below the Fundamental (First) Harmonic.

The layout in figure 3 shows a typical configuration for very dense systems.  The emphasis is on the loop filters PLL1
and PLL2 which are surrounded by a ground guard plane to reduce electromagnetic interference.
