75 MHz Dual Clock Buffer
General Description
The LMH2180 is a high speed dual clock buffer designed for
portable communications and applications requiring multiple
accurate multi-clock systems. The LMH2180 integrates two
75 MHz low noise buffers with independent shutdown pins
into a small package. The LMH2180 ensures superb system
operation between the baseband and the oscillator signal
path by eliminating crosstalk between the multiple clock sig-
nals.
Unique technology and design provides the LMH2180 with
the ability to accurately drive both large capacitive and resis-
tive loads. Low supply current combined with shutdown pins
for each channel means the LMH2180 is ideal for battery
powered applications. This part does not use an internal
ground reference, thus providing additional system flexibility.
The flexible buffers provide system designers the capacity to
manage complex clock signals in the latest wireless applica-
tions. Each buffer delivers 106 V/μs internal slew rate with
independent shutdown and duty cycle precision. Each input
is internally biased to 1V, removing the need for external re-
sistors. Both channels have rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, a
gain of one, and are AC coupled with the use of one capacitor.
Replacing a discrete buffer solution with the LMH2180 pro-
vides many benefits: simplified board layout, minimized par-
asitic components, simplified BOM, design durability across
multiple applications, simplification of clock paths, and the
ability to reduce the number of clock signal generators in the
system. The LMH2180 is produced in the tiny packages min-
imizing the required PCB space.

LMH2180
Application Information
GENERAL
The LMH2180 is designed to minimize the effects of spurious
signals from the base chip to the oscillator. Also the influence
of varying load resistance and capacitance to the oscillator is
minimized, while the drive capability is increased.
The inputs of the LMH2180 are internally biased at 1V, mak-
ing AC coupling possible without external bias resistors.
To optimize current consumption, a buffer that is not in use
can be disabled by connecting it's enable pin to VSS.
The LMH2180 has no internal ground reference; therefore,
either single or split supply configurations can be used.
The LMH2180 is an easy replacement for discrete circuitry. It
simplifies board layout and minimizes the effect of layout re-
lated parasitic components.
INPUT CONFIGURATION
The internal 1V input biasing allows AC coupling of the input
signal. This biasing avoids the use of external resistors, as
depicted in Figure 1. The biasing prevents a large DC load at
the oscillators output that creates a load impedance and may
affect it's oscillating frequency. As a result of this biasing, the
maximum amplitude of the AC signal is 2VPP.
The coupling capacitance C1 should be large enough to let
the AC signal pass. This is a unity gain buffer with rail-to-rail
inputs and outputs.
30024644
FIGURE 1. Input Configuration
FREQUENCY PULLING
Frequency pulling is the frequency variation of an oscillator
caused by a varying load. In the typical application, the load
of the oscillator is a fixed capacitor (C1) in series with the input
impedance of the buffer.
To keep the input impedance as constant as possible, the in-
put is biased at 1V, even when the part is disabled. A simpli-
fied schematic of the input configuration is shown in Figure
1.
ISOLATION AND CROSSTALK
Output to input isolation prevents the clock signal of the os-
cillator from being affected by spurious signals generated by
the digital blocks behind the output buffer. See the charac-
teristic graphic entitled Isolation Output to Input vs. Frequen-
cy.
A block diagram of the isolation is shown in Figure 2.
Crosstalk rejection between buffers prevents signals from af-
fecting each other. Figure 2 shows a Baseband IC and a
Bluetooth module as an example. See the characteristic
graphic labeled Crosstalk Rejection vs. Frequency for more
information.
30024645
FIGURE 2. Isolation Block Diagram
DRIVING CAPACITIVE LOADS
Each buffer can drive a capacitive load. Be aware that every
capacitor directly connected to the output becomes part of the
loop of the buffer. In most applications the load consists of the
capacitance of copper tracks and the input capacitance of the
application blocks. Capacitance reduces the gain/phase mar-
gin and decreases the stability. This leads to peaking in the
frequency response and in extreme situations oscillations can
occur. To drive a large capacitive load it is recommended to
include a series resistor between the buffer and the load ca-
pacitor. The best value for this isolation resistance can be
found by experimentation.
The LMH2180 datasheet reflects measurements with capac-
itive loads of 10 pF at the output of the buffers. Most common
applications will probably use a lower capacitive load, which
will result in lower peaking and significantly greater band-
width, see Figure 3.

LMH2180
PHASE NOISE
A clock buffer adds noise to the clock signal. This noise caus-
es uncertainty in the phase of the clock signal. This uncer-
tainty is described by jitter (time domain) or phase noise
(frequency domain). Communication systems, such as Wire-
less LAN, require a low jitter/phase noise clock signal to
obtain a low Bit Error Rate. Figure 4 shows the frequency do-
main representation of a clock signal with frequency fC. With-
out Phase Noise the entire signal power would only be located
at the frequency fC. Phase Noise spreads some of the power
to adjacent frequencies. Phase Noise is usually specified in
dBc/Hz at a given frequency offset Δf from the carrier, where
dBc is the power level in dB relative to the carrier. The noise
power is measured within a 1 Hz bandwidth.
30024648
FIGURE 4. Phase Noise
Figure 5 shows the setup used to measure the LMH2180
phase noise. The clock driving the LMH2180 is a state of the
art 38.4MHz TCXO. Both the TCXO phase noise and the
phase noise at the LMH2180 output were measured. At offset
frequencies of 1 kHz and higher from the carrier, the TCXO
phase noise is sufficiently low to accurately calculate the
LMH2180 contribution to the phase noise at the output. The
LMH6559, whose phase noise contribution can be neglected,
is used to drive the 50 input impedance of the Signal Source
Analyzer.
LAYOUT DESIGN RECOMMENDATION
Careful consideration during circuit design and PCB layout
will eliminate problems and will optimize the performance of
the LMH2180. It is best to have the same ground plane on the
PCB for all decoupling and other ground connections.
To ensure a clean supply voltage it is best to place decoupling
capacitors close to the LMH2180, between VDD and VSS.
Another important issue is the value of the components, be-
cause this also determines the sensitivity to disturbances.
Resistor values have to be low enough to avoid a significant
noise contribution and large enough to avoid a significant in-
crease in power consumption while loading inputs or outputs
to heavily.
