ICS1526
Video Clock Synthesizer
General Description
The ICS1526 is a low-cost, high-performance
frequency generator. It is suited to general purpose
phase controlled clock synthesis as well as
line-locked and genlocked high-resolution video
applications. Using IDT’s advanced low-voltage
CMOS mixed-mode technology, the ICS1526 is an
effective clock synthesizer that supports video
projectors and displays at resolutions from VGA to
beyond XGA.
The ICS1526 offers single-ended clock outputs to 110
MHz. The HSYNC_out, and VSYNC_out pins provide
the regenerated versions of the HSYNC and VSYNC
inputs synchronous to the CLK output.
The advanced PLL uses its internal programmable
feedback divider. The device is programmed by a
standard I
2
C-bus™ serial interface and is available in
a TSSOP16 package.

Overview
The ICS1526 has the ability to operate in line-locked
mode with the HSYNC input.
The ICS1526 is a user-programmable,
high-performance general purpose clock generator. It
is intended for graphics system line-locked and
genlocked applications and provides the clock signals
required by high-performance analog-to-digital
converters.
1.1 Phase-Locked Loop
The phase-locked loop has a very wide input frequency
range (8 kHz to 100 MHz). Not only is the ICS1526 an
excellent, general purpose clock synthesizer, but it is
also capable of line-locked operation. Refer to the
block diagram below.

The heart of the ICS1526 is a voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO). The VCOs speed is controlled by the
voltage on the loop filter. This voltage will be described
later in this section.
The VCOs clock output is first passed through the VCO
Divider (VCOD). The VCOD allows the VCO to operate
at higher speeds than the required output clock.
NOTE:
Under normal, locked operation the VCOD has
no effect on the speed of the output clocks, just the
VCO frequency.
The output of the VCOD is the full speed output
frequency seen on the CLK. This clock is then sent
through the 12-bit internal Feedback Divider (FD). The
feedback divider controls how many clocks are seen
during every cycle of the input reference.
The Phase Frequency Detector (PFD) then compares
the feedback to the input and controls the filter voltage
by enabling and disabling the charge pump. The
charge pump has programmable current drive and will
source and sink current as appropriate to keep the
input and the clock output aligned.

The input HSYNC and VSYNC can be conditioned by a
high-performance Schmitt-trigger by sharpening the
rising/falling edge.
The HSYNC_out and VSYNC_out signals are aligned
with the output clock (CLK) via a set of flip flops.
1.2 Output Drivers and Logic Inputs
The ICS1526 uses low-voltage TTL (LVTTL) inputs and
LVCMOS outputs, operating at the 3.3 V supply
voltage. The LVTTL inputs are 5 V tolerant.
The LVCMOS drive resistive terminations or
transmission lines.
1.3 Automatic Power-On Reset Detection
The ICS1526 has automatic power-on reset detection
(POR) circuitry and it resets itself if the supply voltage
drops below threshold values. No external connection
to a reset signal is required.

1.4 I

C Bus Serial Interface
The ICS1526 uses a 5 volt tolerant, industry-standard
I
2
C-bus serial interface that runs at either low speed
(100 kHz) or high speed (400 kHz). The interface uses
12 word addresses for control and status: one
write-only, eight read/write, and three read-only
addresses.
Two ICS1526 devices can sit on the same I
2
C bus,
each selected by the Master according to the state of
the I2CADR pin. The 7-bit device address is 0100110
(binary) when I2CADR is low. The device address is
0100111 (binary) when I2CADR is high. See
