CLOCK SLICER USER CONFIGURABLE PECL INPUT ZERO DELAY BUFFER
ICS527-02
Description
The ICS527-02 Clock Slicer is the most flexible way to
generate a CMOS output clock from a PECL input
clock with zero skew. The user can easily configure the
device to produce nearly any output clock that is
multiplied or divided from the input clock. The part
supports non-integer multiplications and divisions. A
SYNC pulse indicates when the rising clock edges are
aligned with zero skew. Using Phase-Locked Loop
(PLL) techniques, the device accepts an input clock up
to 200 MHz and produces an output clock up to 160
MHz.
The ICS527-02 aligns rising edges on PECLIN with
FBIN at a ratio determined by the reference and
feedback dividers.
For a PECL input and output clock with zero delay, use
the ICS527-04.
For a CMOS input and PECL output with zero delay,
use the ICS527-03.

External Components
Decoupling Capacitors
As with any high performance mixed-signal IC, the
ICS527-02 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. The
capacitor must be connected close to the device to
minimize lead inductance.

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
.

Using the ICS527-02 Clock Slicer
First use DIV2 to select the function of the CLK2 output.
If DIV2 is high, a divide by 2, low skew version of CLK1
is present on CLK2. If DIV2 is low, a SYNC pulse is
generated on CLK2. The SYNC pulse goes high
synchronously with the rising edges of PECLIN and
CLK1 that are de-skewed. The SYNC function operates
at CLK1 frequencies up to 66 MHz. If neither CLK1/2 or
a SYNC pulse are required, then CLK2 should be
disabled by connecting OECLK2 to ground. This will
also give the lowest jitter on CLK1.
Next, the feedback scheme should be chosen. If CLK2
is being used as a SYNC pulse, or is tri-stated, then
CLK1 must be connected to FBIN. If CLK2 is selected
to be CLK1/2 (DIV2=1, OECLK2=1) then either CLK1 or
CLK2 must be connected to FBIN. The choice between
CLK1 or CLK2 is illustrated by the following examples
where the device has been configured to generate
CLK1 that is twice the frequency on PECLIN.
Using CLK1 as feedback will always result in
synchronized rising edges between PECLIN and CLK1
if CLK1 is used as feedback. CLK2 could be a falling
edge compared to PECLIN. Therefore, wherever
possible it is recommended to use CLK2 for feedback,
which will synchronize the rising edges of all three
clocks.
More complicated feedback schemes can be used,
such as incorporating multiple output buffers in the
feedback path. An example is given later in the
datasheet. The fundamental property of the ICS527-02
is that it aligns rising edges on PECLIN and FBIN at a
ratio determined by the reference and feedback
dividers.
Set S1 and S0 (page 2) based on the output frequency.
Lastly, the divider settings should be selected. This is
described in the following section.
Determining ICS527-02 Divider Settings
The user has full control in setting the desired output
clock over the range shown in the table on page 2. The
user should connect the divider select input pins directly
to ground (or VDD, although this is not required

because of internal pull-ups) during Printed Circuit
Board layout, so the ICS527-02 automatically produces
the correct clock when mounted on the board. It is also
possible to connect the inputs to parallel I/O ports in
order to switch frequencies.
The output of the ICS527-02 can be determined by the
following simple equation:
S0 and S1 should be selected depending on the
frequency of CLK1. The table on page 2 gives the
ranges.
The dividers are expressed as integers. For example, if
a 50 MHz output on CLK1 is desired from a 40 MHz
input, the reference divider word (RDW) should be 2
and the feedback divider word (FDW) should be 3 which
gives the required 5/4 multiplication. If multiple choices
of dividers are available, then the lowest numbers
should be used. In this example, the output divide (OD)
should be selected to be 2. Then R6:R0 is 0000010,
F6:F0 is 0000011 and S1:S0 is 00. Also, this example
assumes CLK1 is connected to FBIN.
If you need assistance determining the optimum divider
settings, please send an e-mail to

In this example, an input clock of 125 MHz is used. Eight copies of 50 MHz are required as are eight copies
of 25 MHz, de-skewed and aligned to the 125 MHz input clock. The following solution uses the

PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output
phase noise, the following guidelines should be
observed.
1) Each 0.01µF decoupling capacitor should be
mounted on the component side of the board as close
to the VDD pin as possible. No via’s should be used
between decoupling capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB
trace to VDD pin should be kept as short as possible, as
should the PCB trace to the ground via.
2) To minimize EMI the 33Ω series termination resistor,
if needed, should be placed close to the clock outputs.
3) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other
signal layers. Other signal traces should be routed away
from the ICS527-02. This includes signal traces just
underneath the device, or on layers adjacent to the
ground plane layer used by the device.
