ICS843004-02
CRYSTAL-TO-3.3V LVPECL
FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER
PRELIMINARY
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ICS843004-02 is a 4 output LVPECL
Synthesizer optimized to generate clock
frequencies for a variety of high performance
applications and is a member of the
HiPerClocksTM family of high performance clock
solutions from ICS. This device can select its input reference
clock from either a crystal input or a single-ended clock signal
and can be configured to generate a number of different output
frequencies via the 3 frequency select pins (F_SEL2:0). The
ICS843004-02 uses ICS’ 3rd generation low phase noise VCO
technology and can achieve 1ps or lower typical rms phase
jitter. This ensures that it will easily meet clocking requirements
for high-speed communication protocols such as 10 and 12
Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigbit Fibre Channel, and SONET. This
device is also suitable for next generation serial I/O
technologies like serial ATA and SCSI and is conveniently
packaged in a small 24-pin TSSOP package.
FEATURES
Four 3.3V LVPECL outputs
Selectable crystal oscillator interface
or LVCMOS/LVTTL single-ended input
Crystal input range: 14MHz - 37.78MHz
VCO Range: 560MHz - 680MHz
Supports the following applications:
SONET, Ethernet, Serial ATA, SCSI and HDTV
RMS phase jitter @ 155.52MHz (12kHz - 20MHz):

APPLICATION INFORMATION
As in any high speed analog circuitry, the power supply pins
are vulnerable to random noise. The ICS843004-02 provides
separate power supplies to isolate any high switching
noise from the outputs to the internal PLL. VCC, VCCA, and VCCO
should be individually connected to the power supply
plane through vias, and bypass capacitors should be
used for each pin. To achieve optimum jitter performance,
power supply isolation is required.
Figure 1
illustrates how
a 10 resistor along with a 10µF and a .01µF bypass
capacitor should be connected to each VCCA.

INPUTS:
CRYSTAL INPUT:
For applications not requiring the use of the crystal oscillator
input, both XTAL_IN and XTAL_OUT can be left floating. Though
not required, but for additional protection, a 1k resistor can be
tied from XTAL_IN to ground.
TEST CLK INPUT:
For applications not requiring the use of the test clock, it can be
left floating. Though not required, but for additional protection, a
1k resistor can be tied from the TEST_CLK to ground.
SELECT PINS:
All select pins have internal pull-ups and pull-downs; additional
resistance is not required but can be added for additional
protection. A 1k resistor can be used.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UNUSED INPUT AND OUTPUT PINS
OUTPUTS:
LVPECL OUTPUT
All unused LVPECL outputs can be left floating. We recommend
that there is no trace attached. Both sides of the differential output
pair should either be left floating or terminated.

The clock layout topology shown below is a typical termi-
nation for LVPECL outputs. The two different layouts men-
tioned are recommended only as guidelines.
FOUT and nFOUT are low impedance follower outputs that
generate ECL/LVPECL compatible outputs. Therefore, ter-
minating resistors (DC current path to ground) or current
sources must be used for functionality. These outputs are

designed to drive 50 transmission lines. Matched imped-
ance techniques should be used to maximize operating
frequency and minimize signal distortion.
Figures 3A and
3B
show two different layouts which are recommended
only as guidelines. Other suitable clock layouts may exist
and it would be recommended that the board designers
simulate to guarantee compatibility across all printed cir-
cuit and clock component process variations.
