GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ICS841S012I is an optimized PCIe, sRIO and
Gigabit Ethernet Frequency Synthesizer and a
member of HiperClocks™family of high perfor-
mance clock solutions from IDT. The ICS841S012I
uses a 25MHz parallel resonant crystal to gener-
• Tꢁo 0.7V differential HCSL outputs (Bank A), configurable for
PCIe (100MHz or 250MHz) and sRIO (100MHz or 125MHz)
clock signals
ICS
HiPerClockS™
Eight LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs (Banks B/C),
18Ω typical output impedance
ate 33.33MHz - 200MHz clock signals, replacing multiple
oscillator and fanout buffer solutions. The device supports
0.25ꢀ center-spread, and -0.5ꢀ doꢁn- spread clocking ꢁith
tꢁo spread select pins (SSC[1:0]). The VCO operates at a fre-
quency of 2GHz. The device has three output banks: Bank A
ꢁith tꢁo HCSL outputs, 100MHz – 250MHz; Bank B ꢁith seven
33.33MHz – 200MHz LVCMOS/ LVTTL outputs; and Bank C
ꢁith one 33.33MHz – 200MHz LVCMOS/LVTTL output.
Tꢁo REF_OUT LVCMOS/LVTTL clock outputs,
23Ω typical output impedance
• Selectable crystal oscillator interface, 25MHz, 18pF parallel
resonant crystal or one LVCMOS/LVTTL single-ended
reference clock input
• Supports the folloꢁing output frequencies:
HCSL Bank A: 100MHz, 125MHz, 200MHz and 250MHz
LVCMOS/LVTTL Bank B/C: 33.33MHz, 50MHz, 66.67MHz,
100MHz, 125MHz, 133.33MHz, 166.67MHz and 200MHz
All Banks A, B and C have their oꢁn dedicated frequency
select pins and can be independently set for the frequencies
mentioned above. The loꢁ jitter characteristic of the
ICS841S012I makes it an ideal clock source for PCIe, sRIO
and Gigabit Ethernet applications. Designed for netꢁorking and
industrial applications, the ICS841S012I can also drive the high-
speed clock inputs of communication processors, DSPs,
sꢁitches and bridges.
• VCO: 2GHz
• Spread spectrum clock: 0.25ꢀ center-spread (typical) and
-0.6ꢀ doꢁn-spread (typical)
• PLL bypass and output enable
• RMS period jitter: 20ps (typical), QB outputs
• Full 3.3V supply mode
• -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature
• Available in lead-free (RoHS 6) package
• Not Recommended for Neꢁ Designs
