output pairs (pin selectable output type), and uses
external feedback for “zero delay” clock
regeneration. In PCI Express and Ethernet
applications, 100MHz and 125MHz are the most commonly used
reference clock frequencies and each of the four output pairs can
be independently set for either 100MHz or 125MHz. With an
output frequency range of 98MHz to 165MHz, the device is also
suitable for use in a variety of other applications such as Fibre
Channel (106.25MHz) and XAUI (156.25MHz). The M-LVDS
Input/Output pair is useful in backplane applications when the
reference clock can either be local (on the same board as the
ICS8743004I) or remote via a backplane connector. In output
mode, an input from a local reference clock applied to the
CLK/nCLK input pins is translated to M-LVDS and driven out to the
MLVDS/nMLVDS pins. In input mode, the internal M_LVDS driver
is placed in Hi-Z state using the OE_MLVDS pin and
MLVDS/nMLVDS pin then becomes an input (e.g. from a
backplane).

Description
Core supply pins.
Active High Output Enable. When HIGH, the M-LVDS output driver is active
and provides a buffered copy of reference clock applied the CLK/nCLK input
to the MLVDS/nMLVDS output pins. The MLVDS/nMLVDS frequency equals
the CLK/ nCLK frequency divided by the PDIV Divider value (selectable ÷1,
÷4, ÷5, ÷8). When LOW, the M-LVDS output driver is placed into a Hi-Z state
and the MLVDS/nMLVDS pins can accept a differential input.
LVCMOS/LVTTL interface levels.
Non-Inverting M-LVDS input/output. The input/output state is determined by
the OE_MLVDS pin. When OE_MLVDS = HIGH, this pin is an output and
drives the non-inverting M-LVDS output. When OE_MLVDS = LOW, this pin
is an input and can accept the following differential input levels: M-LVDS,
LVDS, LVPECL, HSTL, HCSL.
Inverting M-LVDS input/output. The input/output state is determined by the
OE_MLVDS pin. When OE_MLVDS = HIGH, this pin is an output and drives
the inverting M-LVDS output. When OE_MLVDS = LOW, this pin is an input
and can accept the following differential input levels: M-LVDS, LVDS,
LVPECL, HSTL, HCSL. The output driver is always M-LVDS and is not
affected by the state of the Q-TYPE pin which affects Q0/nQ0:Q3/nQ3, and
FBOUT/nFBOUT.
PLL select. Determines if the PLL is in bypass or enabled mode (default). In
enabled mode, the output frequency = VCO frequency/QDIV divider. In
bypass mode, the output frequency = reference clock frequency/
(PDIV*QDIV). LVCMOS/LVTTL interface levels.
Output Divider Control for the feedback output pair, FBOUT/nFBOUT.
Determines if the output divider = ÷4 (default), or ÷5.
LVCMOS/LVTTL interface levels.
Active High Master Reset. When logic HIGH, the internal dividers are reset
causing the Qx/nQx outputs to drive Hi-Z. Note that assertion of MR overrides
the OE[0:2] control pins and all outputs are disabled. When logic LOW, the
internal dividers are enabled and the state of the outputs is determined by
OE[0:2]. MR must be asserted on power-up to ensure outputs phase aligned.
LVCMOS/LVTTL interface levels.
Output Enable. Together with OE1, determines the output state of the outputs
with the default state: all output pairs switching. When an LVDS or LVPECL
output pair is disabled, the disable state is Qx/nQx = Hi-Z. It should also be
noted that the feedback output pins (FBOUT/nFBOUT) are always switching
and are not affected by the state of OE[0:1]. Refer to table 3B for truth table.
LVCMOS/LVTTL Interface levels.
Output Enable. Together with OE0, determines the output state of the outputs
with the default state: all output pairs switching. When an LVDS or LVPECL
output pair is disabled, the disable state is Qx/nQx = Hi-Z. It should also be
noted that the feedback output pins (FBOUT/nFBOUT) are always switching
and are not affected by the state of OE[1:0]. Refer to table 3B for truth table.
