The PLL has an internal feedback resistors around the input buffers. This automatically biases them at the middle of their active range. All you need is a capacitor (100pF or more?). I couldn't find any info about capacitor size.YAN-1 said:Sorry for not replying any sooner. Well That's basically what I'm doing but the thing is the least prescaler value for the 5MHz input for this PLL IC is 8 so I am basically doing what you're suggesting but my prescaler values are different.
One more thing..You mentioned (and it says in the datasheet) that the prescaler has an ECL output. I checked it out and it turns out it represents zeros and ones by negative voltages? So if I pass that output through a capacitor, I'll just get the normal sine wave (without the negative DC shift) and that would be suitable as an input for the PLL IC, right?
