GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ICS8701 is a low skew, ÷1, ÷2 Clock Gen-
• 20 LVCMOS outputs, 7Ω typical output impedance
• 1 LVCMOS clock input
erator and a member of the HiPerClockS™
HiPerClockS™ family of High Performance Clock Solutions
from ICS. The low impedance LVCMOS out-
• Maximum output frequency up to 250MHz
puts are designed to drive 50Ω series or par-
• Bank enable logic allows unused banks to be disabled
in reduced fanout applications
allel terminated transmission lines. The effective fanout can
be increased from 20 to 40 by utilizing the ability of the
outputs to drive two series terminated lines.
• Output skew: 250ps (maximum)
The divide select inputs, DIV_SELx, control the output fre-
quency of each bank. The outputs can be utilized in the ÷1,
÷2 or a combination of ÷1 and ÷2 modes. The bank enable
inputs, BANK_EN0:1, support enabling and disabling each
bank of outputs individually. The master reset input, nMR/
OE, resets the internal frequency dividers and also con-
trols the active and high impedance states of all outputs.
• Part-to-part skew: 600ps (maximum)
• Bank skew: 200ps (maximum)
• Multiple frequency skew: 300ps (maximum)
• 3.3V or mixed 3.3V input, 2.5V output operating
supply modes
• 0°C to 70°C ambient operating temperature
• Other divide values available on request
The ICS8701 is characterized at 3.3V and mixed 3.3V input
supply, and 2.5V output supply operating modes. Guaranteed
bank, output and part-to-part skew characteristics make the
ICS8701 ideal for those clock distribution applications de-
manding well defined performance and repeatability.
