ESCRIPTION
The ICS8430I-61 is a general purpose, dual output
Crystal-to-3.3V Differential LVPECL High Fre-
HiPerClockS™
quency Synthesizer and a member of the
HiPerClockS™ family of High Performance Clock
Solutions from ICS. The ICS8430I-61 has a select-
able TEST_CLK or crystal inputs. The VCO operates at a fre-
quency range of 250MHz to 500MHz. The VCO frequency is
programmed in steps equal to the value of the input reference
or crystal frequency. The VCO and output frequency can be
programmed using the serial or parallel interfaces to the con-
figuration logic. Frequency steps as small as 1MHz can be
achieved using a 16MHz crystal or TEST_CLK.

specific default state that will automatically occur during
power-up. The TEST output is LOW when operating in the
parallel input mode. The relationship between the VCO fre-
quency, the crystal frequency and the M divider is defined as
follows: fVCO = fxtal x M
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 for a
16MHz reference are defined as 250
≤
M
≤
500. The frequency
out is defined as follows: fout = fVCO = fxtal x M

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 and N output di-
vider 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 and N
output divider on each rising edge of S_CLOCK. The serial
mode can be used to program the M and N bits and test bits
T1 and T0. The internal registers T0 and T1 determine the state
of the TEST output as follows:

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 5, NOTE 1.
The ICS8430I-61 features a fully integrated PLL and there-
fore requires no external components for setting the loop band-
width. A parallel-resonant, fundamental 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 crys-
tal, this provides a 1MHz reference frequency. The VCO of
the PLL operates over a range of 250MHz to 500MHz. 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 M times the reference frequency by adjusting
the VCO control voltage. Note that for some values of M (ei-
ther 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 ICS8430I-61 support two
input modes and to program the M divider and N output di-
vider. 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 initially LOW. The data on inputs
M0 through M8 and N0 through N2 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. As a result, the M and N bits can
be hard-wired to set the M divider and N output divider to a
