Hardware and Software PLL Lock detection
24-pin 300-mil SOIC package
The ICS1523 is a low-cost but very high-performance
frequency generator. It is perfectly suited to general pur-
pose phase controlled clock synthesis as well as
line-locked and genlocked high-resolution video applica-
tions. Using ICS’s advanced low-voltage CMOS
mixed-mode technology, the ICS1523 is an effective
phase controlled clock synthesizer and also supports video
projectors and displays at resolutions from VGA to beyond
UXGA.
The ICS1523 offers clock outputs in both differential (to
250 MHz) and single-ended (to 150 MHz) formats. Dy-
namic Phase Adjust™ circuitry allows user control of the
clock phase relative to the recovered sync signal. A second
differential output at half the clock rate
enables deMUXing of multiplexed analog-to-digital con-
verters. The FUNC pin provides either the regenerated
input from the phase-locked loop (PLL) divider chain out-
put or a re-synchronized and sharpened input HSYNC.
The advanced PLL uses either its internal programmable
feedback divider or an external divider. The device is pro-
grammed by a standard I2C-bus™ serial interface and is
available in a 24-pin wide small-outline integrated circuit
(SOIC) package.

ICS1523
ICS1523 Rev T 6-06-2002
Overview
The ICS1523 is a high-performance user programmable, general purpose clock generator that also addresses stringent graphics
system line-locked and genlocked applications and provides the clock signals required by high-performance analog-to-digital
converters. Included are a phase-locked loop (PLL) with a 500 MHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a Dynamic Phase
Adjust to provide a user-programmed clock delay, the means for deMUXing multiplexed ADCs, and both balanced-program-
mable (PECL) and single-ended (SSTL_3) high-speed clock outputs.
Phase-Locked Loop
The phase-locked loop is a very wide input frequency range (8 kHz to 100 MHz), not only making it an excellent, general purpose
clock synthesizer, but also is capable of line-locked operation. A high-performance Schmitt trigger preconditions the HSYNC
input, whose pulses are from a remote source and of unknown quality . This preconditioned HSYNC signal is provided as a clean
reference signal with a short transition time.
A second high-frequency input such as a crystal oscillator and a 7-bit programmable divider can be selected. This selection al-
lows the loop to operate from any appropriate source and is also useful for evaluating intrinsic jitter.
A 12-bit programmable feedback divider completes the loop. Designers can also use an external divider.
Either the conditioned HSYNC input or the loop output (recovered HSYNC) is available at the FUNC pin, phase aligned to the
edge of the clock.
A utomatic P o wer -On Reset Detection
The ICS1523 has automatic power-on reset detection circuitry and it resets itself if the supply voltage drops below threshold
values. No external connection to a reset signal is required.
Dynamic Phase Adjust™
The Dynamic Phase Adjust allows addition of a programmable delay to the clock output, relative to the recovered HSYNC
signal. The ability to add delays is particularly useful when multiple video sources must be synchronized. A delay of up to one
clock period is selectable in the following increments:
1/64 period for clock rates to 40 MHz
1/32 period for clock rates to 80 MHz
1/16 period for clock rates to 160 MHz
Output Drivers and Logic Inputs
The ICS1523 utilizes low-voltage TTL (LVTTL) inputs as well as SSTL_3 (EIA/JESD8-8) and low-voltage PECL (pseudo-
ECL) outputs, operating at 3.3-V supply voltage. The LVTTL inputs are 5 V-tolerant. The SSTL_3 and differential PECL output
drivers drive resistive terminations or transmission lines. At lower clock frequencies, the SSTL_3 outputs can be operated
unterminated. For more details reguarding the ICS1523s clock outputs, please see the ICS documents Using SSTL-3 Outputs
with CMOS or LVTTL Inputs and Designing a Custom PECL Interface for the ICS1523 available on www.icst.com.
I2C Bus Serial Interface
The ICS1523 utilizes a 5 Volt tolerant, industry-standard I2C-bus serial interface that runs at either low speed (100 kHz) or high
speed (400 kHz). The interface uses 12 registers: one write-only , eight read/write, and three read-only . Two ICS1523 devices can
be addressed, according to the state of the I2CADR pin. When this pin is low, the read address is 4Dh, and the write address is
4Ch. When the pin is high, the read address is 4Fh, and the write address is 4Eh.

Specific Layout Guidelines
1. Digital Supply (VDD) – Bypass pin 1 (VDD) to pin 2 (VSS) a 0.1-µF capacitor, located as close as possible to the pins.
A 0.01-µF capacitor may be added for additional high frequency rejection.
2. External Loop Filter – Strongly recommended in All Designs. Locate loop filter components as close to pins 8 and 9
(EXTFIL and EXTFILRET) as possible with minimum length traces. T ypical loop filter values are 6.8K Ohms for the series
resistor , 3300 pF RF-type capacitor for the series capacitor, and 33 pF for the shunt capacitor . (For details, see the Frequently
Asked Questions part of the ICS1523 Applications Guide, FAQ2 and FAQ3.) A ground isolated, surface trace can be useful
to isolate this section from the rest of the board.
3. Analog PLL Supply (VDDA) – Decouple main VDD from pin 10 (VDDA) with a series ferrite bead. Bypass the supply
end of the bead with 4.7-µF. Bypass pin 10 to pin 1 1 (VSSA) with a 0.1-µF capacitor . A 0.01-µF capacitor may be added for
additional high frequency rejection. Locate these components as close as possible to the pins.
4. PECL Curr ent Set Resistor – Locate PECL current-set resistor as close as possible to pin 24 (IREF). Bypass pin 24 to
ground with a 0.1 -µF capacitor.
5. PECL Outputs – Implement these outputs as microstrip transmission lines. The trace widths shown are for 75 Οηµ char-
acteristic impedance. Locate any optional series snubbing resistors as close as possible to the source pins. If the
termination resistors are included on-board, locate them as close as possible to the load and connect directly to the power and

[These termination resistors are omitted if the load device implements them internally. For details, see the ICS application
note on microstrip and striplines (1572AN1) and within the ICS1523 Applications Guide, the application note on Designing
a Custom Interface for the ICS1523 (1523AN4.)]
6. Output Driver Supply – Bypass pin 18 (VDDQ) to pin 19 (VSSQ) with a 0.1-µF capacitor , located as close as possible
to the pins. A 0.01-µF capacitor may be added for additional high frequency rejection.
7. SSTL_3 Outputs – SSTL_3 outputs can be used like conventional CMOS rail-to-rail logic or as a terminated transmis-
sion line system at higher-output frequencies. W ith terminated outputs, the considerations of item 5, PECL Outputs apply .
See JEDEC documents JESD8-A and JESD8-8.
General Layout Guidelines
Use a PC board with at least four layers: one power, one ground, and two signal.
Use at least one 4.7 uF Tantalum (or similar) capacitor for global VDD bulk decoupling.
All supply voltages must be supplied from a common source and must ramp together.
Any flux or other board surface debris can degrade the performance of the external loop filter.
Ensure that the 1523 area of the board is free of contaminants.

SSTL_3 Outputs
Unterminated Outputs
In the ICS1523, unterminated SSTL_3 output pins display exponential transitions similar to those of rectangular pulses presented
to RC loads. The 10-90% rise time is typically 1.6 ns, and the corresponding fall time is typically 700 ps. In turn, this asymmetry
contributes to duty cycle asymmetry at higher output frequencies. In the absence of significant load capacitance (which can fur-
ther increase rise and fall time), this asymmetry is the dominant factor determining high-frequency performance of these
single-ended outputs. Typically, no termination is required either for the LOCK/REF, FUNC, and CLK/2 outputs or for CLK
outputs up to approximately 135 MHz.
Terminated Outputs
SSTL_3 outputs are intended to terminate in low impedances to reduce the effect of external circuit capacitance. Use of transmis-
sion line techniques enables use of longer traces between source and driver without increasing ringing due to reflections. Where
external capacitance is minimal and substantial voltage swing is required to meet L VTTL VIH and VOL requirements, the intrinsic
rise and fall times of ICS1523 SSTL outputs are only slightly improved by termination in a low impedance.
The ICS1523 SSTL output source impedance is typically less than 60 Ohms. Termination impedance of 100 Οηµσ reduces out-
put swing by less than 30% which is more than enough to drive a single load of LVTTL inputs.

CMOS or LVTTL Inputs

Power Supply Considerations
The ICS1523 incorporates special internal power-on reset circuitry that requires no external reset signal connection. The supply
voltage (VDD) must remain within the recommended operating conditions during normal operation. T o reset the ICS1523, the
supply voltage at the part must be reduced below the threshold voltage (Vth) of the power-on reset circuit. The supply voltage
must remain below that threshold voltage such that board power conditioning capacitors are drained and the proper reset state is
latched. The amount of time (td) to hold the voltage in a reset state varies with the design. However, a typical value of 10 ms
should be sufficient.
