ESCRIPTION
The ICS8430-111 is a general purpose, dual out-
put high frequency synthesizer and a member of
HiPerClockS™
the HiPerClockS™ family of High Performance Clock
Solutions from IDT. The CLK, nCLK pair can accept
most standard differential input levels. The single
ended TEST_CLK input accepts LVCMOS or LVTTL input levels
and translates them to 3.3V LVPECL levels. The VCO operates at
a frequency range of 200MHz to 700MHz. With the output config-
ured to divide the VCO frequency by 2, output frequency steps as
small as 2MHz can be achieved using a 16MHz differential or
single ended reference clock. Output frequencies up to 700MHz
can be programmed using the serial or parallel interfaces to the
configuration logic. The low jitter and frequency range of the
ICS8430-111 makes it an ideal clock generator for most clock
tree applications.

ESCRIPTION
The ICS8430-111 features a fully integrated PLL and there-
fore requires no external components for setting the loop
bandwidth. A differential clock input is used as the input to the
on-chip oscillator. The output of the oscillator is divided by 16
prior to the phase detector. A16MHz clock input provides a
1MHz reference frequency. The VCO of the PLL operates over
a range of 200 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 2M times the reference frequency 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 provides a 50% output
duty cycle.
The programmable features of the ICS8430-111 support two
input modes to program the M divider and N output divider.
The two input operational modes are parallel and serial.
Fig-
ure 1
shows the timing diagram for each mode. In parallel mode
the nP_LOAD input is LOW. The data on inputs M0 through
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 regis-
ter 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:
fxtal x
fVCO =
2M
16
ICS8430-111
PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
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 125
≤
M
≤
350. The frequency out is defined as
follows:
fout = fVCO = fxtal x 2M
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 and N output divider when
S_LOAD transitions from LOW-to-HIGH. The M divide and N
output divide values are latched on the HIGH-to-LOW transi-
tion of S_LOAD. If S_LOAD is held HIGH, data at the S_DATA
input is passed directly to the M divider and N output divider on
each rising edge of S_CLOCK. The serial mode can be used to
program the M and N bits and test bits T1 and T0. The internal
registers T0 and T1 determine the state of the TEST output as
follows:
