Description
The ICS673-01 is a low cost, high performance Phase
Locked Loop (PLL) designed for clock synthesis and
synchronization. Included on the chip are the phase
detector, charge pump, Voltage Controlled Oscillator
(VCO), and two output buffers. One output buffer is a
divide by two of the other. Through the use of external
reference and VCO dividers (the ICS674-01), the user
can customize the clock to lock to a wide variety of
input frequencies.
The ICS673-01 also has an output enable function that
puts both outputs into a high-impedance state. The
chip also has a power down feature which turns off the
entire device.
For applications that require low jitter or jitter
attenuation, see the MK2069. For a smaller package,
see the ICS663.

Note 1: Minimum input frequency is limited by loop filter design. 1 kHz is a practical minimum limit.
External Components
The ICS673-01 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation. A decoupling
capacitor of 0.01µF should be connected between VDD
and GND as close to the ICS673-01 as possible. A
series termination resistor of 33
Ω
may be used at the
clock output.
Special considerations must be made in choosing loop
components C
S
and C
P
. These can be found online at
http://www.icst.com/products/telecom/loopfiltercap.htm
Avoiding PLL Lockup
In some applications, the ICS673-01 can “lock up” at
the maximum VCO frequency. This is usually caused
by power supply glitches or a very slow power supply
ramp. This situation also occurs if the external divider
starts to fail at high input frequencies. The usual failure
mode of a divider circuit is that the output of the divider
begins to miss clock edges. The phase detector
interprets this as a too low output frequency and

increases the VCO frequency. The feedback divider
begins to miss even more clock edges and the VCO
frequency is continually increased until it is running at
its maximum frequency. Whether caused by power
supply issues or by the external divider, the loop can
only recover by powering down the circuit or asserting
PD.
The simplest way to avoid this problem is to use an
external divider that always operates correctly
regardless of the VCO speed. Figures 2 and 3 show
that the VCO is capable of high speeds. By using the
internal divide-by-four and/or the CLK2 output, the
maximum VCO frequency can be divided by 2, 4, or 8
and a slower counter can be used. Using the ICS673
internal dividers in this manner does reduce the
number of frequencies that can be exactly synthesized
by forcing the total VCO divide to change in increments
of 2, 4, or 8.
If this lockup problem occurs, there are several
solutions; three of which are described below.
1. If the system has a reset or power good signal, this
should be applied to the PD pin, forcing the chip to stay
powered down until the power supply voltage has
stabilized
2. If no power good signal is available, a simple
power-on reset circuit can be attached to the PD pin, as
shown in Figure 1. When the power supply ramps up,
this circuit holds PD asserted (device powered down)
until the capacitor charges.

The circuit of Figure 1A is adequate in most cases, but
the discharge rate of capacitor C3 when VDD goes low
is limited by R1. As this discharge rate determines the
minimum reset time, the circuit of Figure 1B may be
used when a faster reset time is desired. The values of
R1 and C3 should be selected to ensure that PD stays
below 1.0 V until the power supply is stable.
3. A comparator circuit may be used to monitor the loop
filter voltage as shown in Figure 2. This circuit will dump
the charge off the loop filter by asserting PD if the VCO
begins to run too fast and the PLL can recover. A good
choice for the comparator is the National
Semiconductor LMC7211BIM5X. It is low power,
version of the small (SOT-23), low cost, and has high
input impedance.
The trigger voltage of the comparator is set by the
voltage divider formed by R2 and R3. The voltage
should be set to a value higher than the VCO input is
expected to run during normal operation. Typically, this
