DATASHEET
LOW SKEW 1 TO 4 CLOCK BUFFER
Description
The ICS553 is a low skew, single input to four output,
clock buffer. Part of IDT’s ClockBlocks
TM
family, this is
our lowest skew, small clock buffer.
See the ICS552-02 for a 1 to 8 low skew buffer. For
more than eight outputs, see the MK74CBxxx
Buffalo
TM
series of clock drivers.
IDT makes many non-PLL and PLL based low skew
output devices as well as Zero Delay Buffers to
synchronize clocks. Contact us for all of your clocking
needs.

Pin Description
Connect to +2.5 V, +3.3 V or +5.0 V.
Output Enable. Tri-states outputs when low. Connect to VDD for normal operation.
External Components
A minimum number of external components are required for proper operation. A decoupling capacitor of
0.01 µF should be connected between VDD on pin 1 and GND on pin 4, as close to the device as possible.
A 33
Ω
series terminating resistor may be used on each clock output if the trace is longer than 1 inch.
To achieve the low output skew that the ICS553 is capable of, careful attention must be paid to board
layout. Essentially, all four outputs must have identical terminations, identical loads and identical trace
geometries. If they do not, the output skew will be degraded. For example, using a 30
Ω
series termination
on one output (with 33
Ω
on the others) will cause at least 15 ps of skew.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS553. These ratings, which
are standard values for IDT 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.
