DATASHEET
TRIPLE PLL FIELD PROGRAMMABLE VCXO CLOCK SYNTHESIZER
Description
The ICS275 field programmable VCXO clock synthesizer
generates up to four high-quality, high-frequency clock
outputs including multiple reference clocks from a
low-frequency crystal input. It is designed to replace
crystals and crystal oscillators in most electronic systems.
Using IDT’s VersaClock
TM
software to configure PLLs and
outputs, the ICS275 contains a One-Time Programmable
(OTP) ROM for field programmability. Programming
features include VCXO, eight selectable configuration
registers and up to two sets of two low-skew outputs.
Using Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the device
runs from a standard fundamental mode, inexpensive
crystal, or clock. It can replace VCXOs, multiple crystals
and oscillators, saving board space and cost.
The ICS275 is also available in factory programmed custom
versions for high-volume applications.

External Components
The ICS275 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
Series Termination Resistor
Clock output traces over one inch should use series
termination. 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
.
The external crystal must be connected as close to the chip
as possible and should be on the same side of the PCB as
the ICS275. There should be no via’s between the crystal
pins and the X1 and X2 device pins. There should be no
signal traces underneath or close to the crystal. See
application note MAN05.
Crystal Tuning Load Capacitors
The crystal traces should include pads for small fixed
capacitors, one between X1 and ground, and another
between X2 and ground. Stuffing of these capacitors on the
PCB is optional. The need for these capacitors is
determined at system prototype evaluation, and is
influenced by the particular crystal used (manufacture and
frequency) and by PCB layout. The typical required
capacitor value is 1 to 4 pF.
To determine the need for and value of the crystal
adjustment capacitors, you will need a PC board of your final
layout, a frequency counter capable of about 1 ppm
resolution and accuracy, two power supplies, and some
samples of the crystals which you plan to use in production,
along with measured initial accuracy for each crystal at the
specified crystal load capacitance, CL.
To determine the value of the crystal capacitors:
1. Connect VDD of the ICS275 to 3.3 V. Connect pin 1 of the
ICS275 to the second power supply. Adjust the voltage on
pin 1 to 0V. Measure and record the frequency of the CLK
output.
2. Adjust the voltage on pin 1 to 3.3 V. Measure and record
the frequency of the same output.
To calculate the centering error:
Decoupling Capacitors
As with any high-performance mixed-signal IC, the ICS275
must be isolated from system power supply noise to perform
optimally.
Decoupling capacitors of 0.01µF must be connected
between each VDD and the PCB ground plane. For optimum
device performance, the decoupling capacitor should be
mounted on the component side of the PCB. Aboid the use
of vias on the decoupling circuit.
Quartz Crystal
The ICS275 VCXO function consists of the external crystal
and the integrated VCXO oscillator circuit. To assure the
best system performance (frequency pull range) and
reliability, a crystal device with the recommended
parameters (shown below) must be used, and the layout
guidelines discussed in the following section shown must be
followed.
The frequency of oscillation of a quartz crystal is determined
by its “cut” and by the load capacitors connected to it. The
ICS275 incorporates on-chip variable load capacitors that
“pull” (change) the frequency of the crystal. The crystal
specified for use with the ICS275 is designed to have zero
frequency error when the total of on-chip + stray
capacitance is 14 pF.

error
xtal
=actual initial accuracy (in ppm) of the crystal being
measured
If the centering error is less than ±25 ppm, no adjustment is
needed. If the centering error is more than 25ppm negative,
the PC board has excessive stray capacitance and a new
PCB layout should be considered to reduce stray
capacitance. (Alternately, the crystal may be re-specified to
a higher load capacitance. Contact IDT for details.) If the
centering error is more than 25 ppm positive, add identical
fixed centering capacitors from each crystal pin to ground.
The value for each of these caps (in pF) is given by: External
Capacitor = 2 x (centering error)/(trim sensitivity)
Trim sensitivity is a parameter which can be supplied by your
crystal vendor. If you do not know the value, assume it is 30
ppm/pF. After any changes, repeat the measurement to
verify that the remaining error is acceptably low (typically
less than ±25 ppm).
The ICS275 also provides separate output divide values,
from 2 through 63, to allow the two output clock banks to
support widely differing frequency values from the same
PLL.
Each output frequency can be represented as:

IDT VersaClock Software
IDT applies years of PLL optimization experience into a user
friendly software that accepts the user’s target reference
clock and output frequencies and generates the lowest jitter,
lowest power configuration, with only a press of a button.
The user does not need to have prior PLL experience or
determine the optimal VCO frequency to support multiple
output frequencies.
VersaClock software quickly evaluates accessible VCO
frequencies with available output divide values and provides
an easy to understand, bar code rating for the target output
frequencies. The user may evaluate output accuracy,
performance trade-off scenarios in seconds.
ICS275 Configuration Capabilities
The architecture of the ICS275 allows the user to easily
configure the device to a wide range of output frequencies,
for a given input reference frequency.
The frequency multiplier PLL provides a high degree of
precision. The M/N values (the multiplier/divide values
available to generate the target VCO frequency) can be set
within the range of M = 1 to 1024 and N = 1 to 32,895.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS275. 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.
