The PLL clock buffer, ICS97U877, is designed for aVDDQ of 1.8V, a AVDD of 1.8V and differential data input and output
levels. Package options include a plastic 52-ball VFBGA and a 40-pin MLF.
ICS97U877 is a zero delay buffer that distributes a differential clock input pair (CLK_INT, CLK_INC) to ten differential
pair of clock outputs (CLKT[0:9], CLKC[0:9]) and one differential pair feedback clock outputs (FB_OUTT, FBOUTC).
The clock outputs are controlled by the input clocks (CLK_INT, CLK_INC), the feedback clocks (FB_INT, FB_INC), the
LVCMOS program pins (OE, OS) and the Analog Power input (AVDD).When OE is low, the outputs (except FB_OUTT/
FB_OUTC) are disabled while the internal PLL continues to maintain its locked-in frequency.OS (Output Select) is a
program pin that must be tied to GND orVDDQ.When OS is high, OE will function as described above.When OS is low,
OEhasnoeffectonCLKT7/CLKC7(theyarefreerunninginadditiontoFB_OUTT/FB_OUTC).WhenAVDD isgrounded,
the PLL is turned off and bypassed for test purposes.
When both clock signals (CLK_INT, CLK_INC) are logic low, the device will enter a low power mode. An input logic
detection circuit on the differential inputs, independent from the input buffers, will detect the logic low level and perform
alowpowerstatewherealloutputs, thefeedbackandthePLLareOFF.Whentheinputstransitionfrombothbeinglogic
low to being differential signals, the PLL will be turned back on, the inputs and outputs will be enabled and the PLL
willobtainphaselockbetweenthefeedbackclockpair(FB_INT, FB_INC)andtheinputclockpair(CLK_INT, CLK_INC)
within the specified stabilization time tSTAB
.
The PLL in ICS97U877 clock driver uses the input clocks (CLK_INT, CLK_INC) and the feedback clocks (FB_INT,
FB_INC)toprovidehigh-performance, low-skew, low-jitteroutputdifferentialclocks(CLKT[0:9], CLKC[0:9]).ICS97U877
is also able to track Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) for reduced EMI.
ICS97U877 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
