Systems, Inc.
FEMTOCLOCKS™ C RYSTAL-TO-LVPECL
250MHZ FREQUENCY MARGINING SYNTHESIZER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
• One 250MHz nominal LVPECL output
The ICS843101I-250 is a low phase-noise
ICS
frequency margining synthesizer with fre-
quency margining capability and is a member of
the HiPerClockS™ family of high performance
clock solutions from ICS. In the default mode,
• Selectable crystal oscillator interface designed for
25MHz, 18pF parallel resonant crystal or LVCMOS/LVTTL
single-ended input
HiPerClockS™
• Output frequency can be varied in 2% steps from
nominal
the device nominally generates a 250MHz LVPECL output
clock signal from a 25MHz crystal input. There is also a
frequency margining mode available where the device can
be programmed, using the serial interface, to vary the
output frequency up or down from nominal in 2% steps.
The ICS843101I-250 is provided in a 16-pin TSSOP.
• VCO range: 1.125GHz - 1.375GHz
• RMS phase jitter @ 250MHz, using a 25MHz crystal
(1.875MHz - 20MHz): 0.52ps (typical)
• Output supply modes
Core/Output
3.3V/3.3V
3.3V/2.5V
2.5V/2.5V
• -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature
• Available in both standard and lead-free RoHS-compliant
packages
