ICS527-04
CLOCK SLICER USER CONFIGURABLE PECL INPUT ZDB
Description
Features
The ICS527-04 Clock Slicer is the most flexible way to
generate an output clock from an input clock with zero
skew. The user can easily configure the device to
produce nearly any output clock that is multiplied or
divided from the input clock. The part supports
non-integer multiplications and divisions. Using
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the device
accepts an input clock up to 200 MHz and produces an
output clock up to 160 MHz.

The ICS527-04 aligns rising edges on PECLIN with
FBPECL at a ratio determined by the reference and
feedback dividers.
For other PECL output clocks, see the ICS507-01,
ICS525-03, or the MK3707. For PECL in and CMOS
out, see the ICS527-02. For CMOS in and PECL out
with zero delay, use the ICS527-03.

External Components
Decoupling Capacitors
set.
The ICS527-04 requires two 0.01µF decoupling
capacitors to be connected between VDD and GND,
one on each side of the chip. They must be connected
close to the device to minimize lead inductance. The
output levels can be adjusted for different output and
load impedances. Refer to application note MAN09 for
more information on the RES and resistor network
values for the output clocks.
Determining ICS527-04 Divider Settings
The user has full control in setting the desired output
clock over the range shown in the table on page 2. The
user should connect the divider select input pins directly
to ground (or VDD, although this is not required
because of internal pull-ups) during Printed Circuit
Board layout, so that the ICS527-04 automatically
produces the correct clock when all components are
soldered. It is also possible to connect the inputs to
parallel I/O ports in order to switch frequencies. The
configuration inputs: IRANGE, S1, S0, R6...0, F6...0 are
compatible with CMOS or TTL levels.
PECL Termination Networks
The PECLO to FBPECL and PECLO to FBPECL
connections should be made directly underneath the
device, unless feedback is being routed through other
devices. The resistor divider networks should be placed
as close to the outputs as possible.
The output of the ICS527-04 can be determined by the
following simple equation:
Typical 50 Ω termination is shown in the Block Diagram
on page 1. For other termination schemes, see
MAN09.pdf.
FDW + 2
FB Frequency = Input Frequency × ------------------------
RDW + 2
Eliminating the Delay Through Buffers or
Other Components
Where:
More complicated feedback schemes can be used,
such as incorporating low skew, multiple output buffers
in the feedback path. An example of this is given later in
the datasheet. The fundamental property of the
ICS527-04 is that it aligns rising edges on CLKIN and
FBPECL at a ratio determined by the reference and
feedback dividers. This means that any delay in the
feedback path will cause the PECL output edge to lead
PECLIN by the delay amount. So, by taking the PECL
output from another device as the input to FBPECL, the
delay through the other device can be eliminated.
Reference Divider Word (RDW) = 0 to 127
Feedback Divider Word (FDW) = 0 to 127
FB Frequency is the same as the output
frequency
Additionally, the following operating ranges should be
observed:
Input Frequency
300kHz < ------------------------------------------RDW + 2
Setting the Clock Slicer
Use IRANGE to select the input frequency range. If
either the PECLIN or FBPECL pair frequencies are
greater than (or equal to) 80 MHz, connect IRANGE to
VDD, or let it float. If both frequencies are less than 80
MHz, connect IRANGE to ground.
S1 and S0 should be selected depending on the
output frequency. The table on page 2 gives the
ranges.
The dividers are expressed as integers. For example, if
a 50 MHz output on CLK1 is desired from a 40 MHz
input, the reference divider word (RDW) should be 2
and the feedback divider word (FDW) should be 3 which
gives the required 5/4 multiplication. If multiple choices
Choose S1 and S0 from the table on page 2, depending
on the output frequency.
Finally, the divider settings should be selected.
Following is a description of how the dividers should be

of dividers are available, then the lowest numbers
should be used. In this example, the output divide (OD)
should be selected to be 2. Then R6:R0 is 0000010,
F6:F0 is 0000011 and S1:S0 is 00.

Multiple Output Example
In this example, an input clock of 125 MHz is used. Four low skew copies of 50 MHz PECL are required
aligned to the 125 MHz input clock. The following solution uses the ICS554-01A, which is a 1 to 4 PECL

The layout design above produces the waveforms shown below.
125 MHz, PECLIN
50 MHz, PECLO
(Complementary outputs are not shown)
Using the equation for selecting dividers gives:
50 MHz = 125 MHz *
(FDW + 2)
(RDW + 2)
If FDW = 0, then RDW = 3. This gives the required divide-by-5 function. Setting pin IRANGE = 1 (by leaving
it unconnected and using the internal pull-up) allows a higher speed input clock like the 125 MHz. The
FBPECL pair pins are connected to the Q1 outputs (chosen arbitrarily) of the ICS554. This aligns all the
outputs of the ICS554 with the 125 MHz input since the ICS527-04 aligns rising edges on the PECLIN and
FBPECL pins.
In this example, the resistor network needed for each PECLO output is represented by the RN boxes.

PCB Layout Recommendations
2) PECL termination networks should be located as
close to the outputs as possible.
For optimum device performance and lowest output
phase noise, the following guidelines should be
observed.
3) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other
signal layers. Other signal traces should be routed away
from the ICS527-04. This includes signal traces just
underneath the device, or on layers adjacent to the
ground plane layer used by the device.
1) Each 0.01µF decoupling capacitor should be
mounted on the component side of the board as close
to the VDD pin as possible. No via’s should be used
between decoupling capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB
trace to VDD pin should be kept as short as possible, as
should the PCB trace to the ground via.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS527-04. These ratings,
which are standard values for IDT commercially rated parts, are stress ratings only. Functional operation of
the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of the
specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods can
affect product reliability. Electrical parameters are guaranteed only over the recommended operating
temperature range.
