Figure 10-8 shows the rise and fall time convention of the reference clock.
Figure 10-9 illustrates the internal details of the IBUFDS. The dedicated differential
reference clock input pair MGTREFCLKP/MGTREFCLKN is internally terminated with
100Ω differential impedance. The common mode voltage of this differential reference clock
input pair is 2/3 of MGTAVCCPLL.
If the common mode voltage of the driving clock source is different from the common
mode voltage of the differential reference clock input pair, then AC coupling capacitors are
mandatory to prevent device degradation and/or other damage.
