DATASHEET
CLOCK MULTIPLIER AND JITTER ATTENUATOR
Description
The ICS2059-02 is a VCXO (Voltage Controlled Crystal
Oscillator) based clock multiplier and jitter attenuator
designed for system clock distribution applications.
This monolithic IC, combined with an external
inexpensive quartz crystal, can be used to replace a
more costly hybrid VCXO retiming module. A dual input
mux is also provided.
By controlling the VCXO frequency within a
phase-locked loop (PLL), the output clock is phase and
frequency locked to the input clock. Through selection
of external loop filter components, the PLL loop
bandwidth and damping factor can be tailored to meet
system clock requirements. A loop bandwidth down to
the Hz range is possible.

CLOCK MULTIPLIER AND JITTER ATTENUATOR
VCXO AND SYNTHESIZERS
Functional Description
The ICS2059-02 is a clock generator IC that generates
an output clock directly from an internal VCXO circuit
which works in conjunction with an external quartz
crystal. The VCXO is controlled by an internal PLL
(Phase-Locked Loop) circuit, enabling the device to
perform clock regeneration from an input reference
clock. The ICS2059-02 is configured to provide an
output clock that is the same frequency as the input
clock. There are 12 selectable input / output frequency
ranges, each of which is a submultiple of the supported
quartz crystal frequency range. Please refer to the
Output Clock Selection Table on Page 2.
Most typical PLL clock devices use an internal VCO
(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) for output clock
generation. By using a VCXO with an external crystal,
the ICS2059-02 is able to generate a low jitter, low
phase-noise output clock within a low bandwidth PLL.
This serves to provide input clock jitter attenuation and
enables stable operation with a low-frequency
reference clock.
The VCXO circuit requires an external pullable crystal
for operation. External loop filter components enable a
PLL configuration with low loop bandwidth.
generated due to the “fly-wheel” effect of the VCXO (the
quartz crystal is a high-Q tuned circuit). When the input
clocks are not phase aligned, the phase of the output
clock will change to reflect the phase of the newly
selected input at a controlled phase slope (rate of phase
change) as influenced by the PLL loop characteristics.
Quartz Crystal
It is important that the correct type of quartz crystal is
used with the ICS2059-02. Failure to do so may result
in reduced frequency pullability range, inability of the
loop to lock, or excessive output phase jitter.
The ICS2059-02 operates by phase-locking the VCXO
circuit to the input signal of the selected ICLK input. The
VCXO consists of the external crystal and the
integrated VCXO oscillator circuit. To achieve the best
performance and reliability, a crystal device with the
recommended parameters (shown below) must be
used, and the layout guidelines discussed in the PCB
Layout Recommendations section must be followed.
The frequency of oscillation of a quartz crystal is
determined by its cut and by the external load
capacitance. The ICS2059-02 incorporates variable
load capacitors on-chip which “pull”, or change, the
frequency of the crystal. The crystals specified for use
with the ICS2059-02 are designed to have zero
frequency error when the total of on-chip + stray
capacitance is 14 pF. To achieve this, the layout should
use short traces between the ICS2059-02 and the
crystal.
A complete description of the recommended crystal
parameters is in application note MAN05.
Application Information
Input / Output Frequency Configuration
The ICS2059-02 is configured to generate an output
frequency that is equal to the input reference frequency.
Clock frequencies that are supported are those which
fall into the ranges listed in the Output Clock Selection
Table on Page 2. Input bits SEL2:0 are set according to
this table, as is the external crystal frequency. Other
input/output frequency combinations can be used if the
necessary integer multiplication factor “N” appears in
the Output Frequency Select table. fro example, 20
MHz can be generated from 156.25 kHz by using select
M0, as N=128.
PLL Loop Filter Components
All analog PLL circuits use a loop filter to establish
operating stability. The ICS2059-02 uses external loop
filter components for the following reasons:
1) Larger loop filter capacitor values can be used,
allowing a lower loop bandwidth. This enables the use
of lower input clock reference frequencies and also
input clock jitter attenuation capabilities. Larger loop
filter capacitors also allow higher loop damping factors
when less passband peaking is desired.
2) The loop filter values can be user selected to
Input Mux
The Input Mux serves to select between two alternate
input reference clocks. Upon reselection of the input
clock, clock glitches on the output clock will not be

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 optional series termination resistor

Decoupling Capacitors
As with any high-performance mixed-signal IC, the
ICS2059-02 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. To
further guard against interfering system supply noise,
the ICS2059-02 should use one common connection to
the PCB power plane as shown in the diagram on the
next page. The ferrite bead and bulk capacitor help
reduce lower frequency noise in the supply that can
lead to output clock phase modulation.
