ESCRIPTION
The ICS84330CI is a general purpose, single out-
put high frequency synthesizer and a member of
HiPerClockS™
the HiPerClockS™ family of High Performance
Clock Solutions from ICS. The VCO operates at a
frequency range of 250MHz to 720MHz. The VCO
and output frequency can be programmed using the serial or
parallel interfaces to the configuration logic. The output can be
configured to divide the VCO frequency by 1, 2, 4, and 8. Output
frequency steps from 250KHz to 2MHz can be achieved using
a 16MHz crystal depending on the output divider setting.

N0 through N1 is passed directly to the M divider and N output
divider. On the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the nP_LOAD input,
the data is latched and the M divider remains loaded until the
next LOW transition on nP_LOAD or until a serial event occurs.
The TEST output is Mode 000 (shift register out) when operat-
ing in the parallel input mode. The relationship between the VCO
frequency, the crystal frequency and the M divider is defined as
fxtal x
follows:
fVCO =
2M
16
The M value and the required values of M0 through M8 are
shown in Table 3B, Programmable VCO Frequency Function
Table. Valid M values for which the PLL will achieve lock are
defined as 125
≤
M
≤
360. The frequency out is defined as
follows:
fout = fVCO = fxtal x 2M
N
N
16
Serial operation occurs when nP_LOAD is HIGH and S_LOAD
is LOW. The shift register is loaded by sampling the S_DATA
bits with the rising edge of S_CLOCK. The contents of the
shift register are loaded into the M divider when S_LOAD tran-
sitions from LOW-to-HIGH. The M divide and N output divide
values are latched on the HIGH-to-LOW transition of S_LOAD.
If S_LOAD is held HIGH, data at the S_DATA input is passed
directly to the M divider on each rising edge of S_CLOCK.
The serial mode can be used to program the M and N bits and
test bits T2:T0. The internal registers T2:T0 determine the state
of the TEST output as follows in the table below:

NOTE: The functional description that follows describes op-
eration using a 16MHz crystal. Valid PLL loop divider values
for different crystal or input frequencies are defined in the In-
put Frequency Characteristics, Table 6, NOTE 1.
The ICS84330CI features a fully integrated PLL and there-
fore requires no external components for setting the loop band-
width. A quartz crystal is used as the input to the on-chip
oscillator. The output of the oscillator is divided by 16 prior to
the phase detector. With a 16MHz crystal this provides a 1MHz
reference frequency. The VCO of the PLL operates over a
range of 250MHz to 720MHz. The output of the M divider is
also applied to the phase detector.
The phase detector and the M divider force the VCO output fre-
quency to be 2M times the reference frequency by adjusting the
VCO control voltage. Note that for some values of M (either too
high or too low), the PLL will not achieve lock. The output of the
VCO is scaled by a divider prior to being sent to each of the LVPECL
output buffers. The divider provides a 50% output duty cycle.
The programmable features of the ICS84330CI support two in-
put modes to program the M divider and N output divider. The
two input operational modes are parallel and serial.
Figure 1
shows the timing diagram for each mode. In parallel mode the
nP_LOAD input is LOW. The data on inputs M0 through M8 and
