LOW SKEW, 1-TO-12 LVCMOS/LVTTL CLOCK MULTIPLIER/
ZERO DELAY BUFFER
ICS87973I-147
General Description
Features
The ICS87973I-147 is a LVCMOS/LVTTL clock
• Fully integrated PLL
S
IC
generator and a member of the HiPerClockS™family
of High Performance Clock Solutions from IDT. The
ICS87973I-147 has three selectable inputs and
provides 14 LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs.
• Fourteen LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs to include: twelve clocks,
HiPerClockS™
one feedback, one sync
• Selectable differential CLK, nCLK inputs or LVCMOS/LVTTL
reference clock inputs
The ICS87973I-147 is a highly flexible device. The three
selectable inputs (1 differential and 2 single ended inputs) are
often used in systems requiring redundant clock sources. Up to
three different output frequencies can be generated among the
three output banks.
• CLK0, CLK1 can accept the following input levels:
LVCMOS or LVTTL
• CLK, nCLK pair can accept the following differential
input levels: LVPECL, LVDS, LVHSTL, SSTL, HCSL
• Output frequency range: 10MHz to 150MHz
• VCO range: 240MHz to 500MHz
The three output banks and feedback output each have their own
output dividers which allows the device to generate a multitude of
different bank frequency ratios and output-to-input frequency
ratios. In addition, 2 outputs in Bank C (QC2, QC3) can be
selected to be inverting or non-inverting. The output frequency
range is 10MHz to 150MHz. The input frequency range is 6MHz to
120MHz.
• Output skew: 200ps (maximum)
• Cycle-to-cycle jitter, (all banks ÷4): 55ps (maximum)
• Full 3.3V supply voltage
• -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature
• Compatible with PowerPC™and Pentium™Microprocessors
The ICS87973I-147 also has a QSYNC output which can be used
for system synchronization purposes. It monitors Bank A and
Bank C outputs and goes low one period prior to coincident rising
edges of Bank A and Bank C clocks. QSYNC then goes high again
when the coincident rising edges of Bank A and Bank C occur.
This feature is used primarily in applications where Bank A and
Bank C are running at different frequencies, and is particularly
useful when they are running at non-integer multiples of one
another.
• Available in both standard (RoHS 5) and lead-free (RoHS 6)
packages
