NOTES:

1. Figure 1 shows a loop filter and analog isolation scheme which will be effective in most applications. The following guidelines should be followed to ensure

stable and jitter-free operation:

a.

All loop filter and analog isolation components should be tied as close to the package as possible. Stray current passing through the parasitics of

long traces can cause undesirable voltage transients at the LF pin.

b.

The 10

µF low frequency bypass capacitor and the 0.1µF high frequency bypass capacitor form a wide bandwidth filter that will minimize the

protection from the power supply and ground plane transients that can occur in a high frequency, high speed digital system.

c.

The loop filter capacitor (0.1

µF) can be a ceramic chip capacitor, the same as a standard bypass capacitor.

2. In addition to the bypass capacitors used in the analog filter of figure 1 there should be a 0.1

µF bypass capacitor between each of the other (digital) four

in the "analog" section of the chip. These bypass capacitors should also be tied as close to the 88915TT package as possible.

A separate Analog power supply is not necessary

and should not be used. Following these prescribed

guidelines is all that is necessary to use the
