SERIAL PROGRAMMABLE QUAD PLL VERSACLOCK SYNTHESIZER ICS308
IDT™ / ICS™
SERIAL PROGRAMMABLE QUAD PLL VERSACLOCK SYNTHESIZER 1
ICS308 REV K 090209
Description
The ICS308 is a versatile serially programmable, quad
PLL clock source. The ICS308 can generate any
frequency from 250 kHz to 200 MHz, and up to 6
different output frequencies simultaneously. The
outputs can be reprogrammed on the fly, and will lock to
a new frequency in 10 ms or less. Smooth transitions
(in which the clock duty cycle remains roughly 50%) are
guaranteed if the output divider is not changed.
The device includes a PDTS
pin which tri-states the
output clocks and powers down the entire chip.
The ICS308 default for non-programmed start-up are
buffered reference clock outputs on all clock output
pins.
