ESCRIPTION
The ICS84321 is a general purpose, dual output Crystal-to-
3.3V Differential LVPECL High Frequency Synthesizer. The
ICS84321 has a selectable TEST_CLK or crystal inputs. The
VCO operates at a frequency range of 620MHz to 780MHz. The
VCO frequency is programmed in steps equal to the value of
the input reference or crystal frequency. The VCO and
output frequency can be programmed using the serial or
parallel interfaces to the configuration logic.

NOTE: The functional description that follows describes oper-
ation using a 25MHz crystal. Valid PLL loop divider values for
different crystal or input frequencies are defined in the Input
Frequency Characteristics, Table 5, NOTE 1.
The ICS84321 features a fully integrated PLL and therefore
requires no external components for setting the loop bandwidth.
A fundamental crystal is used as the input to the on-chip oscil-
lator. The output of the oscillator is fed into the phase detector.
A 25MHz crystal provides a 25MHz phase detector reference
frequency. The VCO of the PLL operates over a range of 620MHz
to 780MHz. The output of the M divider is also applied to the
phase detector.
The phase detector and the M divider force the VCO output fre-
quency to be M times the reference frequency by adjusting the
VCO control voltage. Note that for some values of M (either
too high or too low), the PLL will not achieve lock. The output
of the VCO is scaled by a divider prior to being sent to each of
the LVPECL output buffers. The divider provides a 50% output
duty cycle.
The programmable features of the ICS84321 support two in-
put modes to program the M divider and N output divider. The
two input operational modes are parallel and serial.
Figure 1
shows the timing diagram for each mode. In parallel mode, the
nP_LOAD input is initially LOW. The data on inputs M0 through
M8 and N0 and N1 is passed directly to the M divider and N
output divider. On the LOW-to-HIGH transition of the nP_LOAD
input, the data is latched and the M divider remains loaded until
the next LOW transition on nP_LOAD or until a serial event
occurs. As a result, the M and N bits can be hardwired to set
the M divider and N output divider to a specific default state that
will automatically occur during power-up. The TEST output is
LOW when operating in the parallel input mode. The relationship
between the VCO frequency, the crystal frequency and the M
divider is defined as follows:
fVCO = fxtal x M
The M value and the required values of M0 through M8 are
shown in Table 3B, Programmable VCO Frequency Function
Table. Valid M values for which the PLL will achieve lock for a
25MHz reference are defined as 25
≤
M
≤
31. The frequency
out is defined as follows:
FOUT = fVCO = fxtal x M
N
N
Serial operation occurs when nP_LOAD is HIGH and S_LOAD
is LOW. The shift register is loaded by sampling the S_DATA
bits with the rising edge of S_CLOCK. The contents of the shift
register are loaded into the M divider and N output divider when
S_LOAD transitions from LOW-to-HIGH. The M divide and N
output divide values are latched on the HIGH-to-LOW transition
of S_LOAD. If S_LOAD is held HIGH, data at the S_DATA input is
passed directly to the M divider and N output divider on each ris-
ing edge of S_CLOCK. The serial mode can be used to program
the M and N bits and test bits T1 and T0. The internal registers
T0 and T1 determine the state of the TEST output as follows:
