ESCRIPTION
The ICS8733-01 is a dual output, Differential-
to-3.3V LVPECL Clock Generator and a
HiPerClockS™
member of the HiPerClockS™ family of High
Performance Clock Solutions from ICS. The
ICS8733-01 is designed to be used for applica-
tions utilizing Forward Error Correction (FEC) designs. The
ICS8733-01 generates a 14/15 or a 15/14 output clock based
upon the input reference clock in order to incorporate the
FEC capability required by the application.
,&6
Clock generation is performed by a fully integrated and
low-jitter phase-locked loop. The ICS8733-01 accepts any
differential signal as its input with an input reference fre-
quency range of 36.27MHz to 750MHz. There are two
LVPECL outputs which can generate output frequencies of
38.88MHz to 700MHz.

ESCRIPTION
The ICS8733-01 features a fully integrated PLL and therefore requires no external component for setting the loop bandwidth.
The ICS8733-01 will generate an output having a frequency as follows:
fREF_CLK x M
N
The M and N bits are controlled by the FEC_NSEL and FEC_MSEL control pins as shown in
Table 3A and Table 3B.
As a result, FOUT0 can be configured to have an output frequency equal to 14/15, 15/14, 14/14, or 15/15 of the reference
input frequency.
The second output clock (FOUT1) is configured to produce a frequency equal to FOUT0, FOUT/2, FOUT0/4, or FOUT0x4,
dependent upon the DIV_SEL0 and DIV_SEL1 bits as shown in
Table 3C
and
3D.
The reference input frequency range is dependent upon not only the M and N bits, but also upon the FOUT1 output
configuration which is determined by the DIV_SEL0 and DIV_SEL1 bits.
Table 3C
shows the possible FOUT0 and
FOUT1 output configurations as well as the reference input frequency range for each of these configurations.
The ICS8733-01 also supports in-circuit testing and on-chip functional block characterization via two test inputs and
one test output. With the ICS8733-01 in PLL bypass mode (PLL_SEL = 0), the reference input bypasses the PLL and
in-circuit testing of the N, M, and output dividers can take place.
Table 3D
shows the output configurations for the
different combinations of the DIV_SEL1 and DIV_SEL0 pins.
