FEMTOCLOCKS™ VCXO BASED
FREQUENCY TRANSLATOR/JITTER ATTENUATOR
ICS843002-31
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ICS843002-31 is
a member of the
• Outputs:
ICS
HiPerClockS™
HiperClockS™ family of high performance clock
solutions from IDT. This monolithic device is a high-
performance, PLL-based synchronous clock
generator and jitter attenuation circuit. The
• Two high frequency differential LVPECL outputs
Output frequency: up to 700MHz
• One LVCMOS/LVTTL VCXO PLL output with output enable
• One Reference clock output with output enable
• One LOCK detect output
ICS843002-31 contains two clock multiplication stages that are
cascaded in series. The first stage is a VCXO-based PLL that
is optimized to provide reference clock jitter attenuation, to be
jitter tolerant, and to provide a stable reference clock for the
second multiplication stage.The second stage is the proprietary
IDT FemtoClock™circuit which is a high-frequency, sub-
picosecond clock multiplier.
• Input mux supports 3 selectable inputs: one differential input
pair and two LVCMOS/LVTTL input clocks
• 13-bit VCXO PLL feedback and reference dividers provide
wide range of frequency translation ratio options
• FemtoClock frequency multiplier supports rate of:
The VCXO PLL has an on-chip VCXO circuit that uses an
external, inexpensive pullable crystal in the 17.5 to 25MHz
range. The PLL includes 13 bit reference and feedback
dividers supporting complex PLL multiplication ratios and
input reference clock rates as low as 2.3kHz. External loop
filter components are used (two resistors and two capacitors)
to achieve the low loop bandwidth needed for jitter atten-
uation of a recovered data clock.
560MHz - 700MHz
• ‘Lock Detect’ output reports lock status of VCXO PLL
• VCXO PLL circuit provides jitter attenuation with
loop bandwidth of 250Hz and below (user adjustable)
• RMS phase jitter, random at 12kHz to 20MHz:
<1ps (design target)
The FemtoClock circuit can multiply the VCXO crystal frequency
by a factor of 28 or 32 (selectable) and provide a clock output of
up to 700MHz.
• 3.3V supply voltage
• 0°C to 70°C ambient operating temperature
• Industrial temperature information available upon request
Clock Input/Output Configuration:
• Available in both standard (RoHS 5) and lead-free (RoHS 6)
packages
