ICS1562B
Description
The ICS1562B is a very high performance monolithic phase-
locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer. Utilizing ICS’s ad-
vanced CMOS mixed-mode technology, the ICS1562B
pro vid es a low cost solution for high-end video cloc k ge ne ra-
tion.
The ICS1562B has differential video clock outputs (CLK+ and
CLK-) t hat are com patibl e with indu stry sta ndar d vide o DAC.
Anot her c lo ck out put , LOAD, is p rovi de d wh ose fre que nc y is
derived from the main clock by a programmable divider. An
addit ional clock output is available, LD/N2, which is derived
from the LOAD frequency and whose modulus may also be
programmed.
Operating frequencies are fully programmable with direct con-
tr ol provi ded for re fe renc e div ider , presca ler , fee dbac k divi der
and post -scaler.
Reset of the pipeline delay on Brooktree RAMDACs may
be performed under register control. Outputs may also be set
to desired states to facilitate circuit board testing.

Overview
The ICS1562B is ideally sui ted to provide the grap hics system
clock signals required by high-performance video DACs.
Ful ly pr ogram m able fe edba ck a nd r efer en ce di vi de r cap ab ilit y
allow virtually any frequency to be gene rated, not just simple
multiples of the reference frequency. The ICS1562B uses the
latest ge nerati on of frequenc y sy nthesis tec hniques develope d
by ICS and is completely suitable for the most demanding
vi de o applic at ions.
PLL Synthesizer Description -
Ratiometric Mode
The ICS1562B generates its output frequencies using phase-
locked loop techniques. The phase-locked loop (or PLL) is a
closed-loop feedback system that drives the output frequency
to be ratiometrically related to the reference frequency pro-
vided to the PLL (see Figure 1). The reference frequency is
generated by an on-chip crystal oscillator or the reference
frequency ma y be appli ed to the ICS1562B from an external
frequency source.
The phase-frequency detector shown in the block diagram
drives the voltage-controlled oscillator , or VCO, to a frequency
that will cause the two inputs to the phase-frequency detector
to be ma tc hed in fre quency a nd pha s e . This occurs whe n:
F(XTAL1) . Feedback Divider
F(VCO): = Reference Divider
This expression is exact; that is, the accuracy of the output
fre quen cy de pends sole ly on t he re fere nce freq uenc y provi de d
to the part (assuming correctly programmed dividers).
The VCO gain is programmable, which permits the ICS1562B
to be optimized for best performance at all operating frequencies.
The reference divider may be programmed for any modulus
fro m 1 to 128 i n steps of one .
The feedback divider may be programmed for any modulus
fro m 37 throug h 448 in steps of one. Any even mo dul us from
448 through 896 can also be achieved by setting the “double”
bit whic h double s the fe edba ck di vider modulus. The feedbac k
divider makes use of a dual-modulus prescaler technique that
allows the programmable counters to operate at low speed
without sacrificing resolution. This is an improvement over
conventional fixed prescaler architectures that typically im-
pose a facto r -of- four penal ty (or lar ger) in this respect .
T able 1 permits the derivator of “A” & “M” converter program-
ming d ire c tl y fr o m de si r ed modulus.
PLL Post-Scaler
A programmable post-scaler may be inserted between the VCO
and the CLK+ and CLK- outputs of the ICS1562B. This is
us efu l in ge nera ti ng l ow er fr eque nc ies , as th e VCO has been
opt imi zed fo r hig h-fr eq ue nc y ope ra tion.
The post-scaler allows the selection of:
VCO fre que nc y
VCO fre que nc y di vi ded by 2
VCO fre que nc y di vi ded by 4

Load Clock Divider
The ICS1562B has an additional programmable divider (re-
fe rred to in Figure 1 a s t he N1 divider) tha t is used to ge nerate
th e LOAD clo ck frequenc y for th e vi de o DAC. The m odul u s
of t hi s d ivide r ma y be s e t to 3, 4, 5, 6 , 8, 10, 1 2, 16 or 2 0 un de r
register control. The design of this divider permits the output
duty factor to be 50/50, even when an odd mod ulus is selected.
The input frequency to this divider is the output of the PLL
post -sca ler desc rib ed abov e. Addit ion al ly, this di vid er ca n be
di sabl e d unde r re gister cont rol.
Digital Inputs - ICS1562B-001 Option
The AD0-AD3 pins and the STROBE pin are used to load all
control registers of the ICS1562B (-001 option). The AD0-
AD3 and ST ROBE pin s are each e qui ppe d wit h a pull-up an d
will be at a logic HIGH level when not connected. They may
be dri ve n wit h standa rd T T L or CMOS logic famili es.
The address of the register to be loaded is latched from the
AD0-AD3 pins by a negative edge on the STROBE pin. The
data for that register is latched from the AD0-AD3 pins by a
positive edge on the STROBE pin. See Figure 2 for a timing
diagram. After power-up, the ICS1562B-001 requires 32 reg-
ister writes for new programming to become effective. Since
onl y 13 re giste rs are used at pre sent, the programming system
can perform 19 “dummy” writes to address 13 or 14 to com-
p lete th e se q ue nce.

Digital Inputs - ICS1562B-201 Option
The program ming of the ICS1562B-201 is perform ed se rially
by using the DATCLK, DATA, and HOLD~pins to load an
internal shift register.
DATA is shifted into the register on the rising edge of
DATCL K. The l ogi c value on t he HOL D~pi n i s latche d a t the
same time. When HOLD~ is low, the shift register may be
loaded without disturbing the operation of the ICS1562B.
When high, the shift register outputs are transferred to the
control registers, and the new programming information be-
comes active. Ordinarily, a high level should be placed on the
HOLD~ pin when the l ast data bit is presented. See Figure 3
for the progr amming sequence.
An addi tiona l con trol pin on the ICS1562B-201, BLANK c a n
perform e ither of two functions. It may be used to disable the
pha se -fre quency det ec t or in line-loc ke d ap plicatio ns. Alt e rn a -
ti vely, the B LANK pin may be used as a synchro nous enab le
for VRAM shift clock generation. See sections on Line-Locked
Operations and VRAM shift clock generation for details.
Output Description
The differential output drivers, CLK+ and CLK, are current-
mode and are designed to drive resistive terminations in a
complementa ry fashion. The ou tputs are cu rrent-sink ing only,
with the amount of sink current programmable via the IPRG
pin. The sink current , which is steered to eith er CLK+ or CL K-,
is four times the current supplied to the IPRG pin. For most
applications, a resistor from VDDO to IPRG will set the current
to the necessary precision. Additionally, minor adjustment to
th e duty factor ca n be ach ie ve d und er reg iste r c ont rol.
The LOAD output is a high-current CMOS type drive whose
frequency is controlled by a programmable divider that may be
sel e cted for a modu lus of 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 or 20. It may
also be suppressed under register contr ol. The load output may
be p rogramm ed to output the VCO frequ ency di vided b y 2 (see
AUX_N1 description in Register Mapping section), inde-
pendent of the differential output and N1 divider modulus.
The LD/N2 output is high-current CMOS type drive whose
frequ ency is derived from the LOAD output. The programma-
bl e modu lus m ay ran ge from 1 to 512 in steps of on e.

Pipeline Delay Reset Function
The ICS1562B implements the clocking sequence required to
reset the pipeline delay on Brooktree RAMDACs when the
LOAD output is programmed for a modulus of either 3, 4, 5,
6, 8 or 10. This sequence can be generated by setting the
appro priat e registe r bit (DACRST ) to a logi c 1 and then reset -
ting t o log ic 0.
When changing frequencies, it is advisable to a llow 500 mi-
croseconds after the new frequency is selected to activate the
re set func tion. The output freque ncy of t he synthesizer should
be stab le enough at that point for the video DAC to correctly
execute its reset sequence. See Figure 4 for a diagram of the
pipeline delay reset sequence.
Reference Oscillator and Crystal
Selection
The ICS1562B h as c i rc uitry o n -b o ard to imple men t a P i er ce
osc il la tor with t he ad dit io n of only one exte r n al co mp one nt, a
quartz crystal. Pierce oscillators operate the crystal in anti-
(also called parallel-) resonant mode. See the AC Charac-
teristics for the effective capacitive loading to specify when
or dering cr ystals.
Serie s-resona nt cryst als m ay a lso be use d wit h the ICS1562B.
Be aware that the oscilla tion f requenc y wil l be slightly hig her
than the frequency that is stamped on the can (typically 0.025-
0.05%).
As th e e nt ire op erat io n o f t he ph ase -lo cked l oop d epen ds on
having a stable referenc e frequency, we recommend that the
crystal be mounted as closely as possible to the package. Avoid
rou ting di gita l signa ls or th e ICS1562B outp uts unde rne ath or
near these traces. It is also desirable to ground the crystal can
to the ground pl an e, if po s sible.
If an e xt ernal r efer en ce fr eque ncy source is to be used with t he
ICS1562B. it is important that it be jitter-free. The rising and
fall ing ed ges of tha t signal should be fast and fr ee of noi se for
be st re sult s.
The loop phase is locked to the falling edges of the XTAL1
input signals if the RE FPOL bit is set to logic 0.
Internal Feedback
The ICS1562B supports LOAD (N1) and N2 divider
chains to act as the feedback divider for the PLL.
The N1 and N2 divi der cha ins all ow a muc h la rge r modulus t o
be achieved than the PLLs own feedback divider . Additionally ,
the output of the N2 counter is accessible off-chip for perform-
ing horizontal reset of the graphics system, where necessary.
This mode is set under register control (ALTLOOP bit). The
referenc e divi der ( R cou nter) will ordina rily be set to divi de by
1 i n this mode, and the reference input will be supplied to
th e XTAL1 i nput. Th e ou tpu t fre q u en cy of the synthesizer
wil l then be:
F(CLK) : = F (XTAL1) . N1 . N2.
By using the phase-detector hardware disable mode, the PLL
can be ma de to fr ee-r un at th e be gin nin g o f the ve rti cal i n t e rv al
of the external video, and ca n be reactivated at its com ple tion.
ICS1562B-001 The ICS1562B-001 supports phase detector
disable via a special control mode. When the
PDRSTE N (pha se dete ctor rese t enable ) bit is
set and the last address latched is 15 (0Fh), a
hi gh l ev el on AD3 wil l disable PL L locking.
ICS1562B-201 The ICS1562B-201 supports phase detector
disable via the BLANK pin. When the
PDRSTEN bit is set, a high level on the
BLANK inp ut wi ll disa ble PL L locki ng.

External Feedback Operation
The ICS1562B-201 option also supports the inclusion of an
exte rnal counter as the feedbac k divide r of the PLL . This mode
is useful in graphic systems that must be “genlocked” to
external vid eo sourc es.
Whe n the EXTFB EN bit is set to logic 1, the phase-frequency
detector will use the EXTFBK pin as its feedback input. The
loop phase will be locked to the rising edges of the signal applied
to the EXTFBK input if the FBKPOL bit is set to logic 0.
VRAM Shift Clock Generation
The ICS1562B-201 option supports VRAM shift clock gen-
eration and interruption. By programming the N2 counter to
divide by 1, the LD/N2 output becomes a duplicate of the
LOAD output. When the SCEN bit is set, the LD/N2 output
may be synchronously started and stopped via the blank pin.
Whe n BL ANK is high, t he LD/N2 will be free-runnin g and in
phase with LOAD. When BLANK is taken low, the LD/N2
out put is stopp ed at a low level. See Figure 5 for a diag ram o f
the sequence. Note that this use of the BLANK pin precludes its
use for phase c ompa rator disa ble (see Line- Locked Operation ).
Power-On Initialization
The ICS1562B has an internal power-on reset circuit that
performs the foll owing fun ctions:
1) Set s the mu lt iplexe r to pa ss the referenc e freque ncy
to the C LK+ and CL K- outputs.
2) Sele ct s the mo dul us of the N1 di vid er (for t he
LOAD clo ck) to be four.
These functions should allow initialization of most graphics
system s that cannot immedi ately prov ide fo r registe r program -
ming upon system power-up.
Bec ause the powe r -o n reset circ uit is on the VDD suppl y, and
be cau se that suppl y is filte red, ca re m ust be take n to all ow the
reset to de-assert before programming. A safe guideline is to
all ow 20 mic rose c onds a fter the VDD supply r eac he s 4 vol ts.
Programming Notes
VCO Frequ en cy Range : Use the post-d ivide r to kee p the
VCO frequency as high as possible within its operating
range.
Div ide r Ra nge : For best resul ts in normal situation s (i.e ,
pi xel cloc k gene ra ti on for hi -res displ ay s) , kee p the re fer-
enc e di vi der m od ulus as short a s p os sibl e (f or a fre que ncy
at the output of the reference divider in the few hundred
kHz to several MHz range). If you need to go to a lower
phase comparator reference frequency (usually required
for in crea sed frequency accu racy ), that is ac c eptable, but
jit ter perfo rm an ce wil l suffer some wha t.
VCO Gain Programming: Use the minimum gain which
can reliably achi eve the VCO frequ ency desired, as shown
on the following page:

Pha se Detec tor Gain : For most gra phics appl ica tions an d
divider ranges, s et P[1, 0] = 10 and set P[2 ] = 1. Under
some circumstances, setting the P[2] bi t “on” can reduce
jitter. During 1562 operation at exact multiples of the
crystal frequency, P[2] bit = 0 may provide the best jitter
performance.
Board Test Support
It is ofte n desirable to statically control the levels of the output
pins for circuit board test. The ICS1562B supports this through
a register programmable mode, AUXEN. When this mode is
set, two register bits directly control the logic levels of the
CLK+/CLK- pins and the LOAD pin. This mode is ac tivated
when the S[0] and S[1] bits are both set to logic 1. See Register
Ma ppi ng for deta il s.
Power Supplies and Decoupling
The ICS1562B has two VSS pins to reduce the effects of
package inductance. Both pins are connected to the same
potential on the die (the ground bus). BOTH of these pins
shoul d conne ct to the ground pl ane of the video board as c lose
t o th e package as is possible.
The ICS1562B has a VDDO pin which is the supply of +5 volt
power to all output drivers. This pin should be connected to the
power plane (or bus) using standard high-frequency decou-
pling practice. That is, capacitors should have low series induc-
ta nc e an d be mounted c lose to the ICS1562B.
The VDD pin is the po wer suppl y pin for the PLL synthesiz e r
circuitry and other lower c urrent digital functions. We recom -
mend that RC decoupling or zener regulation be provided for
t his pin (as sh own in the r ec ommen ded applica tio n ci rcu itry).
This will allow the PLL to “track” through power supply
fluctuations without visible effects. See Figure 6 for typical
external ci rcuitry.

Output Circuit Considerations for the ICS1562B
Output Circuitry
The dot cloc k signa ls CLK a nd CLK- a re typic ally the hig hest
frequency signals present in the workstation. To minimize
problems with EMI, crosstalk, and capacitive loading extra
ca re shou l d be tak en in lay in g ou t t his are a of th e P C bo ard .
The ICS1562B is packa ged in a 0.2 ”-wide 16-pi n SOIC pa ck-
age. This permits the clock generator, crystal, and related
components to be laid out in an area the size of a postage stamp.
The ICS1562B should be placed as close as possible to the
RAMDAC. The CLK and CLK- pins are running at VHF
frequencies; one should minimize the length of PCB trace
connecting them to the RAMDAC s o that they don’t become
radi at ors of RF ene r gy.
At t he frequenci es that th e ICS1562B is capable of, PC board
traces may be long enough to be a significant portion of a
wavelength of that frequency. PC traces for CLK and CLK-
should be treated as transmission lines, not just interconnecting
wires. T hese lines can take two form s: mi crostrip and stri pline .
A mic ro stri p line is shown below:
Essentially, the microstrip is a copper trace on a PCB over a
ground plane . Typically, the dielectric is G10 glass epoxy. It
differs from a standard PCB trace in that its width is calculated
to have a characteristic impedance. To calculate the charac-
teristic impedance of a microstrip line one must know the width
and thickness of the trace, and the thickness and dielectric
constant of the dielectric. For G10 glass epoxy, the dielectri c
consta nt (er) is abo ut 5. Propag atio n delay i s strictly a fun ctio n
of dielectric constant. For G10 propagation, delay is calculated
t o be 1.7 7 ns/ft.
Str ipl ine i s the ot her f orm a PCB tr an smi ssion l ine ca n take . A
buried trace between ground planes (or betwe en a power plane
and a groun d plane ) is com m on in mul ti-la ye r bo ar ds.
Attempting to create a workstation design without the use of
multi-layer boards would be adventurous to say the least, the
issue would more likely be whether to place the interconnect
on the surface or between layers. The between layer approach
would work better from an EMI standpoint, but would be more
di fficul t to l ay out. A stripl ine is sho wn be low:
Using 1 oz. coppe r ( 0. 0015 ” thi ck) a nd 0.040 thic kne s s G10,
a 0.010” trace will exhibit a characteristic impedance of 75
in a stripline confi gurat ion.
Typically, RAMDACs require a Vih of VAA-1.0 Volts as a
guaranteed logical “1” and a Vil of VAA-1.6 as a guaranteed
lo gic a l “0. Worst case in put ca pacitance i s 10 pF.
Output circuitry for the ICS1562B is shown in the following
diagram. It consists of a 4/1 current mirror , and two open drain
out put FETs alon g wit h inv er ti ng buffer s to alt er na te ly en ab le
eac h c urr en t-si nking drive r. Both CL K an d CL K- out put s are
connected to the respective CLOCK and CLOC K input s of the
RAMDAC with transmission lines and terminated in their
eq uiv al ent i mpe danc es by the Thevenin equivalent impedances
of R1 a nd R2 or R1 and R2’.
18
The ICS1562B is incapable of sourcing current, so Vih must
be se t b y the rati os of these re sistors for ea ch of th ese l ines. R 1
and R2 are electrically in parallel from an AC standpoint
beca use Vdd is bypassed to ground through bypass-capacitor
network Cb. If we p icke d a targ et im peda nce of 75 for our
trans mis sion lin e impe danc e, a v alue of 91 for R1 and R1’
and a value of 430 f or R2 and R2’ wou ld y ield a Thev inin
equivalent characteristic impedance of 75.1 and a Vih va lu e
of VAA-.873 Volts, a margin of 0.127 Volts. This may be
adequate; however, at higher frequencies one must contend
with the 10 pF input capacitance of the RAMDAC. Values of
82 for R1 and R1’ and 820 for R 2 and R2 woul d g ive us a
cha ract eristic impeda nce of 74.5 and a Vih value of VAA-.45.
With a .55 Volt margin on Vih, this voltage level might be safer .
To s et a value for Vil, we must determine a value for Iprg that
wil l cause the output FET s t o sink an appropriate current. We
desire V il to be VAA-1.6 or greater . VAA-2 would seem to be a
saf e valu e. Set ting up a sin k cur rent of 25 m illi ampe res woul d
guarantee this through our 82 pull-up resistors. As this is
controlled by a 4/1 current mirror, 7 mA into Iprg should set this
curre nt pro perly. A 51 0 resistor fr om V dd to Iprg shoul d work
fine.
Resistors Rt and Rt are shown as s eries terminating resistors
at the ICS1562B end of the transmission lines. These are not
required for operation, but may be useful for meeting EMI
r equirem ents . Their int ent is to int erac t wi th th e input capaci-
tance of the RAMDAC and the distributed capacitance of the
transmission line to soften up rise and fall times and conse-
quently cut some of the high-order harmonic content that is
more likely to radiate RF energy. In actual usage they would
most li ke ly be 10 to 20 resistors or possibly ferrite beads.
Cb i s shown as multip le ca pac itors. Typicall y, a 22 µf tant alum
should be used with separate .1 µF and 220pf capacitors placed
as close to the pins as possible. This provides low series
inductance capacitors right at the source of high frequency
energy. Rd is used to isolate the circuitry from external
sources of noise. Fi ve to ten ohms should be adequa te .
Great care must be used when evaluating high frequency
circ ui ts to ach ieve me aning ful result s. The 10 p F in put c apac i-
tance and long ground lead of an ordinary scope probe will
make any measurements made with it meaningless. A low
capacitance FET probe with a ground connection directly
connected to the shield at the tip will be required. A 1GHz
bandwidth s cope wil l be barely adequate, try to find a faster
unit.
