PRELIMINARY DATASHEET
LOW EMI CLOCK GENERATOR
Description
The IDT5P50003 generates a low EMI output clock from a
clock input. The part is designed to dither the LCD interface
clock for flat panel graphics controllers. The device uses
IDT’s proprietary mix of analog and digital Phase Locked
Loop (PLL) technology to spread the frequency spectrum of
the output, thereby reducing the frequency amplitude peaks
by several dB.
IDT offers many other clocks for computers and computer
peripherals. Consult us when you need to remove crystals
and oscillators from your board.

External Components
The IDT5P50003 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
Powerup Considerations
To insure proper operation of the spread spectrum
generation circuit, some precautions must be taken while
utilizing the IDT5P50003.
1. An input signal should not be applied to ICLK until VDD is
stable (within 10% of its final value). This requirement can
easily be met by operating the IDT5P50003 and then ICLK
source from the same power supply.
2. If the input frequency is changed during operation,
disable spread spectrum until the input clock stabilizes at
the new frequency.
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between VDD and GND on pins 2 and 3, as close to these
pins as possible. For optimum device performance, the
decoupling capacitor should be mounted on the component
side of the PCB. Avoid the use of vias in the decoupling
circuit.
Series Termination Resistor
When the PCB trace between the clock output and the load
is over 1 inch, series termination should be used. To series
terminate a 50Ω trace (a commonly used trace impedance),
place a 33Ω resistor in series with the clock line, as close to
the clock output pin as possible. The nominal impedance of
the clock output is 20Ω
.
Tri-level Select Pin Operation
The S1, S0 select pins are tri-level, meaning they have three
separate states to make the selections shown in the table on
page 2. To select the M (mid) level, the connection to these
pins must be eliminated by either floating them originally, or
tri-stating the GPIO pins which drive the select pins.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output phase
noise, the following guidelines should be observed.
1) The 0.01µF decoupling capacitor should be mounted on
the component side of the board as close to the VDD pin as
possible. No vias should be used between the decoupling
capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB trace to VDD pin should
be kept as short as possible, as should the PCB trace to the
ground via.
2) To minimize EMI, the 33Ω series termination resistor (if
needed) should be placed close to the clock output.
3) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other signal
layers. Other signal traces should be routed away from the
IDT5P50003. This includes signal traces just underneath
the device, or on layers adjacent to the ground plane layer
used by the device.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the IDT5P50003. 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.
