DESCRIPTION
Demonstration Circuit 2611A features the
LTC6955-1, Ultralow Jitter 11 Output Fanout Buffers.
By default, the DC2611A is powered from a single 3.3V
supply. An option is provided to power to the DC2611A
from dual supplies, allowing for the LTC6955's output
supply pins to connect to an LTC Silent Switcher
LTC6955 input supply pin to connect to a low noise LDO.
The differential inputs and six of the differential outputs
are populated with 0.5" spaced SMA connectors. These
outputs are AC-coupled with 50Ω transmission lines

nated with 100Ω.
A calibration path is provided to aid in accurate LTC6955
propagation delay measurements. The calibration path
and the
can be also reconfigured as a DC path, which allows for
®
a convenient method of locking the LTC6955 outputs to
an external PLL/VCO, as shown in Figure 2.
