ESCRIPTION
The ICS8431-11 is a general purpose clock frequency synthesizer
for IA64/32 application and a member of the HiPerClockS™ family of
High Performance Clock Solutions from ICS. The VCO operates at a
frequency range of 250MHz to 510MHz providing an output frequency
range of 125MHz to 255MHz. The output frequency can be programmed
using the parallel interface, M0 through M8, to the configuration log-
ic. Spread spectrum clocking is programmed via the control inputs
SSC_CTL0 and SSC_CTL1.
Programmable features of the ICS8431-11 support four operational
modes. The four modes are spread spectrum clocking (SSC), non-
spread spectrum clock and two test modes which are controlled by
the SSC_CTL[1:0] pins. Unlike other synthesizers, the ICS8431-11
can immediately change spread-spectrum operation without having
to reset the device.
In SSC mode, the output clock is modulated in order to achieve a
reduction in EMI. In one of the PLL bypass test modes, the PLL is
disconnected as the source to the differential output allowing an
external source to be connected to the TEST_I/O pin. This is useful
for in-circuit testing and allows the differential output to be driven at
a lower frequency throughout the system clock tree. In the other PLL
bypass mode, the oscillator divider is used as the source to both the M
and the Fout divide by 2. This is useful for characterizing the oscillator
and internal dividers.

ESCRIPTION
The ICS8431-11 features a fully integrated PLL and therefore
requires no external components for setting the loop bandwidth.
A 16MHz series-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 crystal this provides a 1MHz
reference frequency. The VCO of the PLL operates over a range of
250MHz to 510MHz. 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 (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 the LVPECL output buffer. The divider provides
a 50% output duty cycle.
The programmable features of the ICS8431-11 support four
output operational modes and a programmable M divider and
output divider. The four output operational modes are spread
spectrum clocking (SSC), non-spread spectrum clock and
two test modes and are controlled by the SSC_CTL[1:0] pins.
The PLL loop divider or M divider is programmed by using inputs M0
through M8. While the nP_LOAD input is held LOW, the data present at
M0:M8 is transparent to the M divider. On the LOW-to-HIGH transition
of nP_LOAD, the M0:M8 data is latched into the M divider and any
further changes at the M0:M8 inputs will not be seen by the M divider
until the next LOW transition on nP_LOAD.
The relationship between the VCO frequency, the crystal frequency
and the M divider is defined as follows:
fxtal x
fVCO =
M
16
The M value and the required values of M0:M8 for programming the
VCO are shown in
Table 3B,
Programmable VCO Frequency Function
Table. The frequency out is defined as follows:
FOUT = fVCO = fxtal x M
2
32
For the ICS8431-11, the output divider equals 2. Valid
M values for which the PLL will achieve lock are defined as:
250
≤
M
≤
510.
