ESCRIPTION
The ICS84329B-01 is a general purpose, single
output high frequency synthesizer and a member
HiPerClockS™
of the HiPerClockS™ family of High Performance
Clock Solutions from ICS. The VCO operates at a
frequency range of 250MHz to 700MHz. The VCO
frequency is programmed in steps equal to the value of the
crystal 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.

M8 and N0 through N1 is passed directly 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 reg-
ister out) when operating in the parallel input mode. The rela-
tionship between the VCO frequency, the crystal frequency
and the M divider is defined as follows: fVCO = fxtal x M
16
The M value and the required values of M0 through M8 are
shown in Table 3B, Programmable VCO Frequency Function
Table. Valid M values for which the PLL will achieve lock are
defined as 250
≤
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 contents of the
shift register are loaded into the M divider when S_LOAD tran-
sitions 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:
NOTE: The functional description that follows describes op-
eration using a 16MHz crystal. Valid PLL loop divider values
for different crystal or input frequencies are defined in the In-
put Frequency Characteristics, Table 6, NOTE 1.
The ICS84329B-01 features a fully integrated PLL and there-
fore requires no external components for setting the loop band-
width. A parallel resonant, fundamental crystal is used as the
input to the on-chip oscillator. The output of the oscillator is
divided by 16 prior to the phase detector. With a 16MHz crys-
tal this provides a 1MHz reference frequency. The VCO of
the PLL operates over a range of 250MHz 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 ad-
justing 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 provides a 50%
output duty cycle.
The programmable features of the ICS84329B-01 support two
input modes to program the M divider and N output divider.
The two input operational modes are parallel and serial.

ure 1
shows the timing diagram for each mode. In parallel mode
