FemtoClock™ Crystal-to-HSTL
Frequency Synthesizer
General Description
The ICS8421004I-01 is a 4 output HSTL Synthesizer
optimized to generate Ethernet reference clock
HiPerClockS™
frequencies. Using a 25MHz, 18pF parallel resonant
crystal, the following frequencies can be generated
based on the 2 frequency select pins (F_SEL[1:0]):
156.25MHz, 125MHz and 62.5MHz. The ICS8421004I-01 uses
IDT’s 3
rd
generation low phase noise VCO technology and can
achieve 1ps or lower typical rms phase jitter, easily meeting Ethernet
jitter requirements. The ICS8421004I-01 is packaged in a small
24-pin TSSOP package.

NOTE: Electrical parameters are guaranteed over the specified ambient operating temperature range, which is established when the device is
mounted in a test socket with maintained transverse airflow greater than 500 lfpm. The device will meet specifications after thermal equilibrium
has been reached under these conditions.
NOTE 1: Defined as skew between outputs at the same supply voltages and with equal load conditions. Measured at the differential cross
points.
NOTE 2: This parameter is defined in accordance with JEDEC Standard 65.
