FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The functional description that follows describes to the M divider and N output divider. On the LOW-to-HIGH

The ICS84329-01 features a fully integrated PLL and there-
fore requires no external components for setting the loop
bandwidth. A series-resonant, fundamental crystal is used
as the input to the on-chip oscillator. The output of the oscil-
lator is divided by 16 prior to the phase detector. With a
16MHz crystal this provides a 1MHz reference frequency.
The VCO of the PLL operates over a range of 200MHz to
700MHz. The output of the M divider is also applied to the
phase detector.

The M value and the required values of M0 through M8 are
shown in Table 3B, Programmable VCO Frequency Func-
tion Table. Valid M values for which the PLL will achieve
lock are defined as 200 ≤ M ≤ 511. The frequency out is
defined as follows:

The phase detector and the M divider force the VCO output
frequency to be M times the reference frequency ÷ 16 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 pro-
vides a 50% output duty cycle.

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 con-
tents of the shift register are loaded into the M divider when
S_LOAD transitions 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:
The programmable features of the ICS84329-01 support
two input modes to program the M divider and N output
divider. The two input operational modes are parallel and
serial. Figure 1 shows the timing diagram for each mode. In
parallel mode the nP_LOAD input is LOW. The data on in-
puts M0 through M8 and N0 through N1 is passed directly
