DATASHEET
LOW PHASE NOISE CLOCK MULTIPLIER
Description
The ICS601-01 is a low-cost, low phase noise,
high-performance clock synthesizer for applications
which require low phase noise and low jitter. It is IDT’s
lowest phase noise multiplier, and also the lowest
CMOS part in the industry. Using IDT’s patented
analog and digital Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
techniques, the chip accepts a 10 - 27 MHz crystal or
clock input, and produces output clocks up to 156 MHz
at 3.3 V.
This product is intended for clock generation. It has low
output jitter (variation in the output period), but input to
output skew and jitter are not defined nor guaranteed.
For applications which require definted input to output
timing, use the ICS670-01.

Achieving Low Phase Noise
Figure 1 shows a typical phase noise measurement in a 125 MHz system. Therea are a few simple steps that can
be taken to achieve these levels of phase noise from the ICS601-01. Variations in VDD will increase the hase noise,
so it is important to have a stable, low noise supply voltage at the device. Use decoupling capacitors of 0.1µF in
parallel with 0.01µF. It is important to have these capacitors as close as possible to the ICS601-01 supply pins.
Disabling the REFOUT clock is also important for achieving low phase noise; lab tests have shown that this can
reduce the phase noise by as much as 10 dBc/Hz.

External Component/Crystal Selection
The ICS601-01 requires a minimum number of external components for proper operation. Decoupling capacitors of
0.01µF and 0.1µF should be connected between VDD and GND, as close to the part as possible. A series
termination resistor of 33Ω may be used for each clock output. The crystal must be connected as close to the chip
as possible. The crystal should be fundamental mode, parallel resonant. Do not use third overtone. For exact tuning
when using a crystal, capacitors should beconnected from pins X1 to ground and X2 to ground. In general, the
value of these capacitors is given by the following equation, where CL is the crystal load capacitance: Crystal caps
(pF) = (CL - 5) x 2. So for a crystal with 16 pF load capacitance, two 22 pF caps can be used. For any given board
layout, ICS can measure the board capacitance and recommend the exact capacitance value to use.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS601-01. These ratings, which are
standard values for IDT commercially rated parts, are stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods can affect product reliability. Electrical
parameters are guaranteed only over the recommended operating temperature range.
