ICS601-21
LOW PHASE NOISE CLOCK MULTIPLIER
Description
Features
The ICS601-21 is a low-cost, low phase noise, high
performance clock synthesizer for applications which
require low phase noise and low jitter. It is IDT’s lowest
phase noise multiplier. Using IDT’s patented analog and
digital Phase Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the chip
accepts a crystal or clock input, and produces output clocks
up to 230 MHz at 3.3 V.
• Fully integrated PLL, no external loop filter required
• Differential 3.3 V LVPECL outputs
• Uses fundamental crystal or clock
This product is intended for clock generation. It has low
output jitter (variation in the output period), but input to
output skew and jitter are not defined nor guaranteed.

— Crystal input frequency: 10 to 27MHz
— Clock input: 10 to 38MHz (mulitply by 6)
10 to 31MHz (all other multiply settings)
Output clocks up to 230 MHz at 3.3 V
Low phase noise: -122 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz
Low jitter - 15 ps one sigma typ.
Powerdown mode lowers power consumption
Packaged in 16-pin TSSOP, Pb-free
Advanced, low power, sub-micron CMOS process
Operating voltage of 3.3 V
Commercial temperature range available

External Components
The ICS601-21 requires a minimum number of external components for proper operation. Decoupling capacitors of
0.01F and 0.1 F should be connected between VDD and GND, as close to the part as possible. A 50
terminating resistor should be used on each clock output. (See termination diagram on page 5). The crystal must
be connected as close to the chip as possible. The crystal should be fundamental mode, parallel resonant. Do not
use third overtone. For exact tuning when using a crystal, capacitors should be connected from pins X1 to ground
and X2 to ground. In general, the value of these capacitors is given by the following equation, where CL is the
crystal load capacitance: Crystal caps (pF) = (CL-5) x 2. So for a crystal with 16 pF load capacitance, two 22 pF
caps can be used. For any given board layout, IDT can measure the board capacitance and recommend the exact
capacitance value to use.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS601-21. 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.
