ICS7151
Spread Spectrum Clock Generator
Description
The ICS7151-10, -20, -40, and -50 are clock
generators for EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
reduction (see below for frequency ranges and
multiplier ratios). Spectral peaks can be attenuated by
slightly modulating the oscillation frequency. Both down
and center spread profiles are selectable. Down spread
maintains an average frequency less than an unspread
clock, and will not exceed the maximum frequency of
an unspread clock.

Spread Spectrum Clock Generator
External Components
The ICS7151 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
underneath the device, or on layers adjacent to the
ground plane layer used by the device.
Crystal Information
The crystal used should be a fundamental mode (do
not use third overtone), parallel resonant. Crystal
capacitors should be connected from pins X1 to ground
and X2 to ground to optimize the initial accuracy. The
value of these capacitors is given by the following
equation:
Crystal caps (pF) = (C
L
- 6) x 2
In the equation, C
L
is the crystal load capacitance. So,
for a crystal with a 16 pF load capacitance, two 20 pF
[(16-6) x 2] capacitors should be used.
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between GND and VDD on pin 7, as close to this pin as
possible. For optimum device performance, the
decoupling capacitor should be mounted on the
component side of the PCB. Avoid the use of vias in the
decoupling circuit.
Series Termination Resistor
Series termination should be used on the clock output.
To series terminate a 50Ω trace (a commonly used
trace impedance) place a 27Ω resistor in series with
the clock line, as close to the clock output pin as
possible. The nominal impedance of the clock output is
25Ω.
Spread Spectrum Profile
The ICS7151 low EMI clock generator uses a triangular
frequency modulation profile for optimal down stream
tracking of zero delay buffers and other PLL devices.
The frequency modulation amplitude is constant with
variations of the input frequency.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output
phase noise, the following guidelines should be
observed.
1) The 0.01µF decoupling capacitor should be mounted
on the component side of the board as close to the
VDD pin as possible. No vias should be used between
the decoupling capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB trace
to VDD pin should be kept as short as possible, as
should the PCB trace to the ground via.
2) To minimize EMI, the 27Ω series termination resistor
(if needed) should be placed close to the clock output.
3) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other
signal layers. Other signal traces should be routed
away from the ICS7151. This includes signal traces just

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS7151. These ratings,
which are standard values for ICS commercially rated parts, are stress ratings only. Functional operation of
the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of the
specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods can
affect product reliability. Electrical parameters are guaranteed only over the recommended operating
temperature range.
