New ContributorAgilex 5 transceiver output clock
Hello Intel team,
We use the transceiver output clock, it CML format.
The CML output consists of a differential pair with
50Ω collector resistors, as shown in Figure 3
Is the Agilex-5 implement this 50Ω collector resistors and what is the VCC voltage?
When interfacing with differential CML receiver, do we need external components other than AC couple capacitors?
Thanks

Hi Asaf,
Thank you for your question.
Yes, the Agilex™ 5 transceiver CML output includes internal 50Ω collector resistors, so no additional external termination resistors are needed. When interfacing with a differential CML receiver, you only need to add AC coupling capacitors.
For recommended connection guidelines and further details, please refer to Intel's official Pin Connection Guidelines (PCG):
Best regards,
