ESCRIPTION
The ICS873991-147 is a low voltage, low skew, 3.3V
LVPECL or ECL Clock Generator and a member of
HiPerClockS™
the HiPerClockS™ family of High Performance
Clock Solutions from IDT. The ICS873991-147 has
two selectable clock inputs. The CLK, nCLK pair
can accept LVPECL, LVDS, LVHSTL, SSTL and HCSL input
levels and, the REF_CLK pin can accept a LVCMOS or LVTTL
input levels. This device has a fully integrated PLL along with
frequency configurable outputs. An external feedback input and
output regenerates clocks with “zero delay”.

The four independent banks of outputs each have their own
output dividers, which allow the device to generate a multitude
of different bank frequency ratios and output-to-input frequency
ratios. The output frequency range is 25MHz to 480MHz and
the input frequency range is 6.25MHz to 120MHz. The PLL_EN
input can be used to bypass the PLL for test and system debug
purposes. In bypass mode, the input clock is routed around the
PLL and into the internal output dividers.
The ICS873991-147 also has a SYNC output which can be
used for system synchronization purposes. It monitors Bank A
and Bank C outputs for coincident rising edges and signals a
pulse per the timing diagrams in this data sheet. This feature is
used primarily in applications where Bank A and Bank C are
running at different frequencies, and is particularly useful when
they are running at non-integer multiples of each other.
Example Applications:
1. Line Card Multiplier: Multiply 19.44MHz from a back-plane
to 77.76MHz on the line card ASIC and Serdes.
2. Zero Delay Buffer: Fan out up to thirteen 100MHz copies
from a reference clock to multiple processing units on an
embedded system.
