PRELIMINARY
FEMTOCLOCKS™ CRYSTAL-TO-LVDS
FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER
ICS844256-24
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ICS844256-24 is a 6 differential output LVDS
• Six 3.3V differential LVDS output pairs
ICS
HiPerClockS™
Synthesizer designed to generate reference clocks
for SPI-4.2 and XAUI/XGMII 10Gb Ethernet inter-
faces and is a member of the HiPerClocks™family of
high performance clock solutions from IDT. Using a
• Using a 31.25MHz crystal, the two output banks can be
independently set for 390.625MHz, 312.5MHz, 195.3125MHz
or 156.25MHz
• Crystal oscillator interface
• VCO: 1562.5MHz
31.25MHz, 18pF parallel resonant crystal, the following fre-
quencies can be generated based on the settings of frequency
select pins: 390.625MHz, 312.5MHz, 195.3125MHz and
156.25MHz.
• RMS phase jitter @ 156.25MHz (1.875MHz - 20MHz):
0.62ps (typical)
• Full 3.3V supply mode
The two banks have their own dedicated frequency select pins
and can be independently set for the frequencies mentioned
above.The ICS844256-24, with low phase noise VCO technology,
can achieve 1ps or lower typical rms phase jitter, easily meeting
SPI-4.2 and 10Gb Ethernet jitter requirements. The ICS844256-
24 is packaged in a small 32-pin VFQFN package.
• 0°C to 70°C ambient operating temperature
• Industrial temperature available upon request
• Available in both standard (RoHS 5) and lead-free (RoHS 6)
packages
