The ICS84329-01 is a general purpose, single output high
frequency synthesizer. The VCO operates at a frequency range
of 200MHz to 700MHz. The VCO frequency is programmed in
steps equal to the value of thecrystal frequency divided by
16. The VCO and output frequency can be programmed
using the serial or parallel interfaces to the configuration logic.
The output can be configured to divide the VCO frequency by
1, 2, 4, and 8. Output frequency steps as small as 125kHz to
1MHz can be achieved using a 16MHz crystal depending on
the output dividers.

NOTE: The functional description that follows describes
operation using a 16MHz crystal. Valid PLL loop divider
values for different crystal or input frequencies are defined
in the Input Frequency Characteristics, Table 6, NOTE 1.
The ICS84329-01 features a fully integrated PLL and there-
fore requires no external components for setting the loop
bandwidth. A series-resonant, fundamental crystal is used
as the input to the on-chip oscillator. The output of the oscil-
lator is divided by 16 prior to the phase detector. With a
16MHz crystal this provides a 1MHz reference frequency.
The VCO of the PLL operates over a range of 200MHz to
700MHz. The output of the M divider is also applied to the
phase detector.
The phase detector and the M divider force the VCO output
frequency to be M times the reference frequency ÷ 16 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 pro-
vides a 50% output duty cycle.
The programmable features of the ICS84329-01 support
two input 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 LOW. The data on in-
puts M0 through M8 and N0 through N1 is passed directly

t
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. The TEST output is
Mode 000 (shift register out) when operating in the parallel
input mode. The relationship between the VCO frequency,
the crystal frequency and the M divider is defined as fol-
lows:
fxtal x
fVCO =
M
16
The M value and the required values of M0 through M8 are
shown in Table 3B, Programmable VCO Frequency Func-
tion Table. Valid M values for which the PLL will achieve
lock are defined as 200
≤
M
≤
511. The frequency out is
defined as follows:
fout = fVCO = fxtal x M
N
N
16
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 con-
tents of the shift register are loaded into the M 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 on each
rising edge of S_CLOCK. The serial mode can be used to
program the M and N bits and test bits T2:T0. The internal
registers T2:T0 determine the state of the TEST output as
follows:
