Crystal-to-LVDS/HCSL Clock Synthesizer
ICS841N254I
DATA SHEET
General Description
The ICS841N254I is a 4-output clock synthesizer designed for S-RIO
1.3 and 2.0 reference clock applications. The device generates four
copies of a selectable 250MHz, 156.25MHz, 125MHz or 100MHz
clock signal with excellent phase jitter performance. The four outputs
are organized in two banks of two LVDS and two HCSL ouputs.The
device uses IDT’s fourth generation FemtoClock® NG technology for
an optimum of high clock frequency and low phase noise
performance, combined with a low power consumption and high
power supply noise rejection. The synthesized clock frequency and
the phase-noise performance are optimized for driving RIO 1.3 and
2.0 SerDes reference clocks. The device supports 3.3V and 2.5V
voltage supplies and is packaged in a small 32-lead VFQFN
package. The extended temperature range supports wireless
infrastructure, telecommunication and networking end equipment
requirements.
