DATASHEET
LOW SKEW CLOCK INVERTER AND DIVIDER
Description
The ICS548A-03 is a low cost, low skew, high-performance
general purpose clock designed to produce a set of one
output clock, one inverted output clock, and one clock
divided-by-two. Using our patented Phase-Locked Loop
(PLL) techniques, the device operates from a frequency
range of 10 MHz to 120 MHz in the PLL mode, and up to
160 MHz in the non-PLL mode.
In applications that need to maintain low phase noise in the
clock tree, the non-PLL (when S3=S2=1) modes should be
used.
This chip is not a zero delay buffer. Many applications may
be able to use the ICS527 for zero delay dividers.

External Components
The ICS548A-03 requires a minimum number of external components for proper operation. Decoupling capacitors
of 0.01µF should be connected between pins 3 and 5, as close to the device as possible. Connect pin 2 directly to
pin 3, and pin 6 directly to pin 5. A series termination resistor of 33Ω should be used on all clock outputs, as close
to the device as possible. Leave any unused clock outputs floating. There are no pull-up resistors on the input pins,
and they may be connected directly to VDD or ground.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS548A-03. 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.
