The ICS501 LOCO™ is the most cost effective
way to generate a high quality, high frequency
clock output from a lower frequency crystal or
clock input. The name LOCO stands for LOw
Cost Oscillator, as it is designed to replace crystal
oscillators in most electronic systems. Using Phase-
Locked-Loop (PLL) techniques, the device uses a
standard fundamental mode, inexpensive crystal
to produce output clocks up to 160 MHz.
Stored in the chip’s ROM is the ability to generate
9 different multiplication factors, allowing one
chip to output many common frequencies (see
page 2).
The device also has an Output Enable pin that tri-
states the clock output when the OE pin is taken
low.

Common Output Frequencies Examples (MHz)
0 = connect directly to ground.
1 = connect directly to VDD.
M = leave unconnected (floating).
Note that all of the above outputs are achieved by using a common, inexpensive 10MHz to 20MHz crystal.
Consult MicroClock/ICS on how to achieve other output frequencies.

External Components / Crystal Selection
The ICS501 requires a 0.01µF decoupling capacitor to be connected between VDD and GND. It must be
connected close to the ICS501 to minimize lead inductance. No external power supply filtering is required
for this device. A 33 terminating resistor can be used next to the CLK pin. The total on-chip capacitance
is approximately 12 pF, so a parallel resonant, fundamental mode crystal should be used. For crystals with
a specified load capacitance greater than 12 pF, crystal capacitors should be connected from each of the
pins X1 and X2 to Ground as shown in the Block Diagram on page 1. The value (in pF) of these crystal
caps should be = (CL-12)*2, where CL is the crystal load capacitance in pF. These external capacitors are
only required for applications where the exact frequency is critical. For a clock input, connect to X1 and
leave X2 unconnected (no capacitors on either).
