APPLICATION INFORMATION
POWER SUPPLY FILTERING TECHNIQUES
As in any high speed analog circuitry, the power supply pins
are vulnerable to random noise. The ICS843251I-12 pro-
vides separate power supplies to isolate any high switch-
ing noise from the outputs to the internal PLL. VCC and VCCA
should be individually connected to the power supply
plane through vias, and bypass capacitors should be
used for each pin. To achieve optimum jitter performance,
power supply isolation is required. Figure 1 illustrates how
a 10Ω resistor along with a 10μF and a .01μF bypass
capacitor should be connected to each VCCA pin. The 10Ω
resistor can also be replaced by a ferrite bead.
