CLOCK SYNTHESIZER FOR PORTABLE SYSTEMS 1
ICS1493-17 REV A 101005
Description
The ICS1493-17 is a low-power, low-jitter clock
synthesizer designed to replace multiple crystals and
oscillators in portable audio/video systems. The device
generates a 37 MHz processor clock, a 48 MHz USB
clock, a fixed 22.5792 MHz audio clock, a selectable
24.576 MHz or 22.5792 MHz audio clock, and a 27MHz
reference clock for video. Using ICS’ proprietary mix of
analog and digital Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
technology, the device spreads the frequency spectrum
of the 37 MHz output, reducing the peak amplitude of by
up to 16 dB. An output enable (OE) pin lowers the chip
power consumption while tri-stating all outputs.

External Components
Decoupling Capacitor
As with any high-performance mixed-signal IC, the
ICS1493-17 must be isolated from system power
supply noise to perform optimally.
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between each VDD and the PCB ground plane.
Series Termination Resistor
Clock output traces over one inch should use series
termination. To series terminate a 50 trace (a
commonly used trace impedance), place a 33 resistor
in series with the clock line, as close to the clock output
pin as possible. The nominal impedance of the clock
output is 20.

C External Resistor Connection
The SCK and SDATA pins can be connected to any
voltage between 1.71 V and 2.625 V.
Crystal Load Capacitors
No external crystal load capacitors are required. To
save discrete component cost, the ICS1493-17
integrates on-chip capacitance to support a crystal with
CL=10 pF. It is important to keep stray capacitance to a
minimum by using very short PCB traces (and no vias)
between the crystal and device.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output
phase noise, the following guidelines should be
observed.
1) The 0.01µF decoupling capacitors 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 capacitors and VDD pins. The
PCB trace to VDD pins should be kept as short as
possible, as should the PCB trace to the ground via.
2) The external crystal should be mounted just next to
the device with short traces. The X1 and X2 traces
should not be routed next to each other with minimum
spaces, instead they should be separated and away
from other traces.
3) To minimize EMI, the 33 series termination resistor
should be placed close to the clock output.
4) 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 ICS1493-17. This includes signal traces just
underneath the device, or on layers adjacent to the
ground plane layer used by the device.
18 VDD Power Connect to +1.8 V.
19 X2 Output Connect to 27 MHz crystal or float for clock input.
20 X1 Input Crystal connection. Connect to 27 MHz crystal or clock input.
