Applications Information
Overdriving the XTAL Interface
The XTAL_IN input can be overdriven by an LVCMOS driver or by one
side of a differential driver through an AC coupling capacitor. The
XTAL_OUT pin can be left floating. The amplitude of the input signal
should be between 500mV and 1.8V and the slew rate should not be
less than 0.2V/nS. For 3.3V LVCMOS inputs, the amplitude must be
reduced from full swing to at least half the swing in order to prevent
signal interference with the power rail and to reduce internal noise.
Figure 1A shows an example of the interface diagram for a high
speed 3.3V LVCMOS driver. This configuration requires that the sum
of the output impedance of the driver (Ro) and the series resistance
(Rs) equals the transmission line impedance. In addition, matched
termination at the crystal input will attenuate the signal in half. This
can be done in one of two ways. First, R1 and R2 in parallel should
equal the transmission line impedance. For most 50 applications,
R1 and R2 can be 100. This can also be accomplished by removing
R1 and changing R2 to 50. The values of the resistors can be
increased to reduce the loading for a slower and weaker LVCMOS
driver. Figure 1B shows an example of the interface diagram for an
LVPECL driver. This is a standard LVPECL termination with one side
of the driver feeding the XTAL_IN input. It is recommended that all
components in the schematics be placed in the layout. Though some
components might not be used, they can be utilized for debugging
purposes. The datasheet specifications are characterized and
guaranteed by using a quartz crystal as the input.

LVDS Driver Termination
For a general LVDS interface, the recommended value for the
termination impedance (ZT) is between 90 and 132. The actual
value should be selected to match the differential impedance (Z0) of
your transmission line. A typical point-to-point LVDS design uses a
100 parallel resistor at the receiver and a 100 differential
transmission-line environment. In order to avoid any
transmission-line reflection issues, the components should be
surface mounted and must be placed as close to the receiver as
possible. IDT offers a full line of LVDS compliant devices with two
types of output structures: current source and voltage source. The
standard termination schematic as shown in Figure 2A can be used
with either type of output structure. Figure 2B, which can also be
used with both output types, is an optional termination with center tap
capacitance to help filter common mode noise. The capacitor value
should be approximately 50pF. If using a non-standard termination, it
is recommended to contact IDT and confirm if the output structure is
current source or voltage source type. In addition, since these
outputs are LVDS compatible, the input receiver’s amplitude and
common-mode input range should be verified for compatibility with
the output.

Schematic Layout
Figure 3 shows an example of ICS844011 application schematic in
which the device is operated at VDD = 3.3V. The schematic example
focuses on functional connections and is intended as an example
only and may not represent the exact user configuration. Refer to the
pin description and functional tables in the datasheet to ensure the
logic control inputs are properly set. For example OE can be
configured from an FPGA instead of set with pull up and pull down
resistors as shown.
As with any high speed analog circuitry, the power supply pins are
vulnerable to random noise, so to achieve optimum jitter performance
isolation of the VDD pin from power supply is required. In order to
achieve the best possible filtering, it is recommended that the
placement of the filter components be on the device side of the PCB
as close to the power pins as possible. If space is limited, the 0.1uF
capacitor on the VDD pin must be placed on the device side with
direct return to the ground plane though vias. The remaining filter
components can be on the opposite side of the PCB.
Power supply filter recommendations are a general guideline to be
used for reducing external noise from coupling into the devices. The
filter performance is designed for wide range of noise frequencies.
This low-pass filter starts to attenuate noise at approximately 10kHz.
If a specific frequency noise component is known, such as switching
power supply frequencies, it is recommended that component values
be adjusted and if required, additional filtering be added. Additionally,
good general design practices for power plane voltage stability
suggests adding bulk capacitances in the local area of all devices.

Power Considerations
This section provides information on power dissipation and junction temperature for the ICS844011.
Equations and example calculations are also provided.
1. Power Dissipation.
The total power dissipation for the ICS844011 is the sum of the core power plus the analog power plus the power dissipated in the load(s).
The following is the power dissipation for VDD = 3.3V + 5% = 3.465V, which gives worst case results.
Power (core)MAX = VDD_MAX * (IDD_MAX + IDDA_MAX) = 3.465V * (108mA + 12mA) = 415.8mW
2. Junction Temperature.
Junction temperature, Tj, is the temperature at the junction of the bond wire and bond pad and directly affects the reliability of the device. The
maximum recommended junction temperature for HiPerClockS devices is 125°C.
The equation for Tj is as follows: Tj = θJA * Pd_total + TA
Tj = Junction Temperature
θJA = Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
Pd_total = Total Device Power Dissipation (example calculation is in section 1 above)
TA = Ambient Temperature
In order to calculate junction temperature, the appropriate junction-to-ambient thermal resistance θJA must be used. Assuming no air flow and
a multi-layer board, the appropriate value is 129.5°C/W per Table 7 below.
Therefore, Tj for an ambient temperature of 70°C with all outputs switching is:
70°C + 0.416W * 129.5°C/W = 123.9°C. This is below the limit of 125°C.
This calculation is only an example. Tj will obviously vary depending on the number of loaded outputs, supply voltage, air flow and the type of
board (multi-layer).
