DATASHEET
PLL BUILDING BLOCK
Description
The ICS663 is a low cost 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 an output buffer. Through
the use of external reference and VCO dividers
(implemented with the ICS674-01, for example), the user
can easily configure the device to lock to a wide variety of
input frequencies.
The phase detector and VCO functions of the device can
also be used independently. This enables the configuration
of other PLL circuits. For example, the ICS663 phase
detector can be used to control a VCXO circuit such as the
MK3754.
For applications requiring Power Down or Output Enable
features, please refer to the ICS673-01.

External Components
The ICS663 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 ICS663 as possible. A series termination
resistor of 33Ω may be used at the clock output.
Special considerations must be made in choosing loop
components C
1
and C
2
:
1) The loop capacitors should be a low-leakage type to
avoid leakage-induced phase noise. For this reason, DO
NOT use any type of polarized or electrolytic capacitors.
2) Microphonics (mechanical board vibration) can also
induce output phase noise when the loop bandwidth is less
than 1 kHz. For this reason, ceramic capacitors should have
C0G or NP0 dielectric. Avoid high-K dielectrics like Z5U and
X7R. These and some other ceramics have piezoelectric
properties that convert mechanical vibration into voltage
noise that interferes with VCXO operation.
For larger loop capacitor values such as 0.1µF or 1µF, PPS
film types made by Panasonic, or metal poly types made by
Murata or Cornell Dubilier are recommended.
For questions or changes regarding loop filter
characteristics, please contact your sales area FAE, or IDT
Applications.
Avoiding PLL Lockup
In some applications, the ICS663 can “lock up” at the
maximum VCO frequency. The way to avoid this problem is
to use an external divider that always operates correctly
regardless of the CLK output frequency. The CLK output
frequency may be up to 2x the maximum Output Clock
Frequency listed in the AC Electrical Characteristics above
when the device is in an unlocked condition. Make sure that
the external divider can operate up to this frequency.
Explanation of Operation
The ICS663 is a PLL building block circuit that includes an
integrated VCO with a wide operating range. The device
uses external PLL loop filter components which through
proper configuration allow for low input clock reference
frequencies, such as a 15.7 kHz Hsync input.
The phase/frequency detector compares the falling edges of
the clocks inputted to FBIN and REFIN. It then generates an
error signal to the charge pump, which produces a charge
proportional to this error. The external loop filter integrates
this charge, producing a voltage that then controls the
frequency of the VCO. This process continues until the
edges of FBIN are aligned with the edges of the REFIN
clock, at which point the output frequency will be locked to
the input frequency.
