TxREFCLKP/N
The TXREFCLK input is different than the other inputs to
the transmitter because it is internally terminated, ac-
coupled, and self-biased. Therefore, it must be treated
differently than the TXD and PICLK inputs. Differentially,
the input impedance at this input is 100 Ω, but due to
the way it is biased internally, when driven single-
ended, the impedance appears as 60 Ω. The proper
termination scheme for the TXREFCLK input is shown in
Figure 4.
