LF TrigO, 0.5 V pp typical

The LF 1/16th rate clock must phase lock to the data rate clock.
The LF clock is multiplied up to HF clock frequencies and is split into two
output paths: a transmit clock for the PRBS generator, TX CKO, which can be
modulated with an external jitter input signal, and a receive clock for the error
detector, RX CKO. Both outputs are buffered. The clock outputs are connected
by default to the input clock connectors for the PRBS generator and error
detector, TX CKI and RX CKI, with a pair of coaxial cable loops.
To trigger the PRBS generator and error detector with an external 500 MHz to
12.5 GHz clock, remove the coax loops and apply the external source to TX CKI
and RX CKI. The generator and detector must be triggered with the same
phase-synchronous clock. Ensure that at least 0 dBm (630 mV pp) is applied to
the TXCKI input and at least +4 dBm (1 V pp) is applied to the RXCKI input. Do
not apply more than +10 dBm (2 V pp) to these inputs.
