SERIAL PROGRAMMABLE TRIPLE PLL SS VERSACLOCK SYNTH ICS309
IDT®
SERIAL PROGRAMMABLE TRIPLE PLL SS VERSACLOCK SYNTH 1
ICS309 REV L 091311
Description
The ICS309 is a versatile serially-programmable, triple
PLL with spread spectrum clock source. The ICS309
can generate any frequency from 250kHz 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.
To reduce system EMI emissions, spread spectrum is
available that supports modulation frequencies of
31 kHz and 120 kHz, as well as modulation amplitudes
of +/-0.25% to +/-2.0%. Both center and down-spread
options are available.
The device includes a PDTS
pin which tri-states the
output clocks and powers down the entire chip.
The ICS309 default for non-programmed start-up are
buffered reference clock outputs on all clock output
pins.
IDT’s VersaClock
TM
programming software allows the
user to configure up to 9 outputs with target
frequencies, spread spectrum capabilities or buffered
reference clock outputs. The VersaClock
TM
software
automatically configures the PLLs for optimal overall
performance.
