ICS844001I
FEMTOCLOCKS™ C RYSTAL-TO- LVDS
CLOCK GENERATOR
PRELIMINARY
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ICS844001I is a Fibre Channel Clock
Generator and a member of the HiPerClocksTM
family of high performance devices from ICS.
The ICS844001I uses an 18pF parallel resonant
crystal over the range of 20.4MHz - 28.3MHz.
For Fibre Channel applications, a 26.5625MHz crystal is used.
The frequency select pin allows the device to generate
either 106.25MHz or 212.5MHz from a 26.5625MHz
crystal. To generate 187.5MHz for 12Gb Ethernet, a
23.4375MHz crystal is used. The ICS844001I uses ICS’ 3rd
generation low phase noise VCO technology and can
achieve <1ps typical rms phase jitter, easily meeting Fibre
Channel and Ethernet jitter requirements. The ICS844001I is
packaged in a small 8-pin TSSOP, making it ideal for use in
systems with limited board space.
