Hi Dudi, Termination to the buffer varies according to what is driving it and the output signal level of the driver. This should be compatible with the input requirements of the HCSL input buffer for level shifting and common mode. Best thing is to consult the app notes from IDT of the CLK buffer (IDT device) you are using and what they recommend for each case.

The interface is called HCSL, but I'm trying to figure out which terminations should be added externally to the receiver (INPUT) of the clock buffer. I'm using the IDT 9DBV0841 as the clock buffer and I'm familiar with the required output termination, (33Ohm in series and 50 Ohm to GND), but I couldn't find anything for the input terminations. Please advise. Thanks Best Regards, Dgtronix Ltd.
