ESCRIPTION
The ICS84330-01 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 fre-
quency range of 200MHz to 700MHz. 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. Out-
put frequency steps from 250KHz to 2MHz can be achieved
using a 16MHz crystal depending on the output divider setting.

NOTE: The functional description that follows describes operation using a 16MHz crystal. Valid PLL loop divider values for
different crystal or input frequencies are defined in the Input Frequency Characteristics, Table 6, NOTE 1.
The ICS84330-01 features a fully integrated PLL and therefore 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 200MHz to 700MHz. The output of the M divider is also applied to the phase detector.
The phase detector and the M divider force the VCO output frequency to be 2M times the reference frequency divided by 16 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 ICS84330-01 support two input 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 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 operating in the parallel input
mode. The relationship between the VCO frequency, the crystal frequency and the M divider is defined as follows:
fxtal x
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 100
≤
M
≤
350. 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 transitions 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:
