3. Calculations and Equations.
The purpose of this section is to derive the power dissipated into the load.
LVPECL output driver circuit and termination are shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4. LVPECL Driver Circuit and Termination
To calculate output power dissipated due to loading, use the following equations which assume a 50 load, and a termination voltage of VCC
– 2V.
• For logic high, VOUT = VOH_MAX = VCC_MAX – 1.0V
(VCC_MAX – VOH_MAX) = 1.0V
• For logic low, VOUT = VOL_MAX = VCC_MAX – 1.7V
(VCC_MAX – VOL_MAX) = 1.7V
Pd_H is power dissipation when the output drives high.
Pd_L is the power dissipation when the output drives low.
Pd_H = [(VOH_MAX – (VCC_MAX – 2V))/RL] * (VCC_MAX – VOH_MAX) = [(2V – (VCC_MAX – VOH_MAX))/RL] * (VCC_MAX – VOH_MAX) =
[(2V – 1.0V)/50] * 1.0V = 20mW
Pd_L = [(VOL_MAX – (VCC_MAX – 2V))/RL] * (VCC_MAX – VOL_MAX) = [(2V – (VCC_MAX – VOL_MAX))/RL] * (VCC_MAX – VOL_MAX) =
[(2V – 1.7V)/50] * 1.7V = 10.2mW
Total Power Dissipation per output pair = Pd_H + Pd_L = 30.2mW
