ESCRIPTION
The ICS843034-01 is a general purpose, low
phase noise LVPECL synthesizer which can
HiPerClockS™
generate frequencies for a wide variety of
applications. The ICS843034-01 has a 4:1
input Multiplexer from which the following
inputs can be selected: 1 differential input, 1
single-ended input, or one of two crystal oscillators,
thus making the device ideal for frequency translation or
generation. Each differential LVPECL output pair has an
output divider which can be independently set so that two
different frequencies can be generated. Additionally, each
LVPECL output pair has a dedicated power supply pin so
the outputs can run at 3.3V or 2.5V. The ICS843034-01
also supplies a buffered copy of the reference clock or
crystal frequency on the single-ended REF_CLK pin which
can be enabled or disabled (disabled by default). The output
frequency can be programmed using either a serial or
parallel programming interface.
IC
S
The ICS843034-01 has excellent <1ps phase jitter
performance over the 637kHz - 5MHz integration range, thus
making it suitable for use in Fibre Channel, SONET, and
Ethernet/1Gb Ethernet applications.
Example applications include systems which must support
both FEC and non FEC rates. In 10Gb Fibre Channel, for
example, you can use a 25.5MHz crystal to generate a
159.375MHz reference clock, and then switch to a
20.544MHz crystal to generate 164.355MHz for 66/64 FEC.
Other applications could include supporting both Ethernet
frequencies and SONET frequencies in an application. When
Ethernet frequencies are needed, a 25MHz crystal can be
used and when SONET frequencies are needed, the input
MUX can be switched to select a 38.88MHz Crystal.

Nx bits can be hardwired to set the M divider and Nx output
divider to a 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
P
The M value and the required values of M0 through M5 are shown
in Table 3B to program the VCO Frequency Function Table.
Valid M values for which the PLL will achieve lock for a 25MHz
reference are defined as 20
≤
M
≤
25. The frequency out is de-
fined as follows:
FOUT = fVCO = fxtal x M
N
NxP
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 Nx output di-
vider when S_LOAD transitions from LOW-to-HIGH. The M
divide and Nx 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 Nx
output divider on each rising edge of S_CLOCK. The serial
mode can be used to program the M and Nx bits and test bits
T1 and T0. The internal registers T0 and T1 determine the state
of the TEST output as follows:

ESCRIPTION
NOTE: The functional description that follows describes op-
eration using a 25MHz 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 ICS843034-01 features a fully integrated PLL and there-
fore requires no external components for setting the loop band-
width. A fundamental crystal is used as the input to the on-
chip oscillator. The output of the oscillator is fed into the phase
detector. A 25MHz crystal provides a 25MHz phase detector
reference frequency. The VCO of the PLL operates over a
range of 490MHz to 640MHz. The output of the M divider is
also applied to the phase detector.
The phase detector and the M divider force the VCO output fre-
quency 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 each of the LVPECL
output buffers. The divider provides a 50% output duty cycle.
The ICS843034-01 supports either serial or parallel program-
ming modes to program the M feedback divider and N output
divider. The input divider P can only be changed using the P_DIV
pin. It cannot be changed from the default
÷1
setting using the
serial interface.
Figure 1
shows the timing diagram for each mode.
In parallel mode, the nP_LOAD input is initially LOW. The data
on the M, NA, and NB inputs are passed directly to the M di-
vider and both N output dividers. On the LOW-to-HIGH transi-
tion of the nP_LOAD input, the data is latched and the M and N
dividers remain loaded until the next LOW transition on
nP_LOAD or until a serial event occurs. As a result, the M and
