ESCRIPTION
The ICS8701I is a low skew, ÷1, ÷2 Clock Gen-
,&6
erator and a member of the HiPerClockS™
HiPerClockS™
family of High Performance Clock Solutions
from ICS. The low impedance LVCMOS out-
puts are designed to drive 50
W
series or par-
allel terminated transmission lines. The effective fanout can
be increased from 20 to 40 by utilizing the ability of the
outputs to drive two series terminated lines.
The divide select inputs, DIV_SELx, control the output fre-
quency of each bank. The outputs can be utilized in the ÷1,
÷2 or a combination of ÷1 and ÷2 modes. The bank enable
inputs, BANK_EN0:1, support enabling and disabling each
bank of outputs individually. The master reset input, nMR/
OE, resets the internal frequency dividers and also con-
trols the active and high impedance states of all outputs.
The ICS8701I is characterized at 3.3V and mixed 3.3V in-
put supply, and 2.5V output supply operating modes. Guar-
anteed bank, output and part-to-part skew characteristics
make the ICS8701I ideal for those clock distribution appli-
cations demanding well defined performance and repeat-
ability.
