Description
The ICS556-04 is a low-skew, crystal input compatible
clock buffer with oscillator. This device offers the lowest
skew.
See the ICS552-02 for a 1-to-8 low skew buffer. For
more than eight outputs see the MK74CBxxx Buffalo
TM
series of clock drivers.
ICS makes many non-PLL and PLL-based low-skew
output devices. Contact ICS for all of your clocking
needs.

External Components
A minimum number of external components are required for proper operation. A decoupling capacitor of 0.01
µF
should be connected between VDD on pin 1 and GND on pin 4, as close to the device as possible. A 33Ω series
terminating resistor may be used on each clock output if the trace is longer than 1 inch.
To achieve the low output skew that the ICS556-04 is capable of, careful attention must be paid to board layout.
Essentially, all four outputs must have identical terminations, identical loads, and identical trace geometries. If not,
the output skew will be degraded. For example, using a 30Ω series termination on one output (with 33Ω on the
others) will cause at least 15 ps of skew.
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) = (CL - 6) x 2
In the equation, CL 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.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS556-04. 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.
