DATASHEET
OSCAR™ USER CONFIGURABLE PECL CLOCK
Description
The ICS525-04 OSCaR
TM
is the most flexible way to
generate a high quality, high frequency differential PECL
clock output from a crystal or CMOS clock input. The name
OSCaR
TM
stands for Oscillator Replacement, as it is
designed to replace crystal oscillators in almost any
electronic system. Users can easily configure the device to
produce nearly any output frequency from any input
frequency by grounding or floating the select pins. Neither
microcontroller, software, nor device programmer are
needed to set the frequency. Using Phase Locked Loop
techniques, the device accepts a crystal or clock to produce
output clocks up to 156 MHz at 3.3V, keeping them
frequency locked together.
For simple multipliers to produce common frequencies,
refer to the LOCO
TM
family of parts, which are smaller and
more cost effective.
This product is intended for clock generation. It has low
output jitter (variation in the output period), but input to
output skew and jitter are not defined nor guaranteed. For
applications which require defined input to output timing,
use the ICS527-02.

External Components
Decoupling Capacitors
As with any high performance mixed-signal IC, the
ICS525-04 must be isolated from system power supply
noise to perform optimally.
Decoupling capacitors of 0.01µF must be connected
between each VDD and the GND, one on each side of the
chip.The capacitor must be connected close to the device to
minimize lead inductance. No external power supply filtering
is required for this device.
The output of the ICS525-04 can be determined by the
following simple equation:
VDW + 8
-
PECL Frequency = Input Frequency
×
--------------------------------------------
(
RDW + 2
) •
OD
Where:
Reference Divider Word (RDW) = 0 to 127
VCO Divider Word (VDW) = 0 to 511
Output Divider (OD) = values on page 2
External Resistors
A 560Ω resistor must be connected between RES (pin 19)
and VDD. A total of four resistors are needed for the PECL
outputs as shown on the block diagram on page 1. The
value of these resistors are shown, but can be varied to
change the differential pair output swing and the common
mode voltage. Consult application note MAN09 for more
information.
Also, the following operating ranges should be observed:
VDW + 8
10M < Input Frequency
x
----------------------------- < 200M
(
5V
)or162M (
3.3v
) )
(
RDW + 2
)
Crystal Load Capacitors
The total on-chip capacitance for a crystal is approximately
16 pF, so a parallel resonant, fundamental mode crystal with
this value of load (correlation) capacitance should be used.
For crystals with a specified load capacitance greater than
16 pF, crystal capacitors may be connected from each of the
pins X1 and X2 to Ground as shown in the block diagram.
The value (in pF) of these crystal caps should be (CL -
16)*2, where CL is the crystal load capacitance. These
external capacitors are only required for applications where
the exact frequency is critical. For a clock input, connect to
X1 and leave X2 unconnected (no capacitors on either).
InputFrequency
200kHz < ----------------------------------------------
-
(
RDW + 2
)
See table on page 2 for full details of maximum output.
The dividers are expressed as integers. For example, if a
66.66 MHz output on CLK1 is desired from a 14.31818 MHz
input, the VCO divider word (VDW) should be 276, with an
output divide (OD) of 2. In this example, R6:R0 is 0111011,
V8:V0 is 100010100 and S2:S0 is 001. Since all of these
inputs have pull-up resistors, it is only necessary to ground
the zero pins, namely V7, V6, V5, V3, V1, V0, R6, R2, S2,
and S1.
To determine the best combination of VCO, reference, and
output divide, use the ICS525 Calculator on our web site:
www.icst.com. The online form is easy to use and quickly
shows you up to three options for these settings.
Determining the Output Frequency
Users have full control in setting the desired output
frequency over the range shown in the table on page 2. To
replace a standard oscillator, users should connect the
divider select input pins directly to ground (or VDD, although
this is not required because of internal pull-ups) during
Printed Circuit Board layout. The ICS525-04 will
automatically produce the correct clock when all
components are soldered. It is also possible to connect the
inputs to parallel I/O ports to switch frequencies. By
choosing divides carefully, the number of inputs which need
to be changed can be minimized. Observe the restrictions
on allowed values of VDW and RDW.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS525-04. These ratings, which are
standard values for ICS commercially rated parts, are stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device at
these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods can affect product reliability. Electrical
parameters are guaranteed only over the recommended operating temperature range.
