ICS844N234I
PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
General Description
Features
The ICS844N234I is a 4-output clock synthesizer designed for SRIO
1.3 and 2.0 reference clock applications. The device generates four
copies of a selectable 100MHz, 312.5MHz, 156.25MHz or 125MHz
clock signals with excellent phase jitter performance. The four
outputs are organized in two banks of two LVDS ouputs.The device
uses IDT’s fourth generation FemtoClock® NG technology for an
optimum of high clock frequency and low phase noise performance,
combined with low power consumption and high power supply noise
rejection. The synthesized clock frequency and the phase-noise
performance are optimized for driving SRIO 1.3 and 2.0 SerDes
reference clocks. The device supports 3.3V and 2.5V voltage
supplies and is packaged in a small, lead-free (RoHS 6) 32-lead
VFQFN package. The extended temperature range supports
wireless infrastructure, telecommunication and networking end
equipment requirements.

FEMTOCLOCK NG® CRYSTAL-TO-LVDS CLOCK SYNTHESIZER
Applications Information
Interface to IDT SRIO Switches
The ICS844N234I is designed for driving the differential reference
clock input (REF_CLK) of IDT’s SRIO 1.3 and 2.0 switch devices.
The LVDS outputs of the ICS844N234I have the low-jitter, differential
voltage and impedance characteristics required to provide a
high-quality 156.25MHz clock signal for both SRIO 1.3 and 2.0 switch
devices. Please refer to Figure 1 for suggested interfaces. In Figure
1, the AC-coupling capacitors are mandatory by the IDT SRIO switch
devices. The differential REF_CLK_P/N input is internally re-biased
and AC-terminated. Both interface circuits are optimized for 50
transmission lines and generate the voltage swing required to reliably
drive the clock reference input of a IDT SRIO switch. Please refer to
IDT’s SRIO device datasheet for more details.
QAn
LVDS nQAn
Figure 1 shows the recommended interface circuit for driving the
156.25MHz reference clock of an IDT SRIO 2.0 switch by a LVDS
output (QA0, QA1, QB0 or QB1) of the ICS844N234I. The
LVDS-to-differential interface as shown in Figure 1 does not require
any external termination resistors: the ICS844N234I driver contains
an internal source termination at all outputs. The differential
REF_CLK input contains an internal AC-termination (RL) and re-bias
(VBIAS). Use the LVDS Driver Termination (figure 5A and 5B) if the
receiving device does not implement and internal termination.

Power Supply Filtering Technique
As in any high speed analog circuitry, the power supply pins are
vulnerable to random noise. To achieve optimum jitter performance,
power supply isolation is required. The ICS844N234I provides
separate power supplies to isolate any high switching noise from the
outputs to the internal PLL. VDD, VDDA, VDDOA and VDDOB should be
individually connected to the power supply plane through vias, and
0.01µF bypass capacitors should be used for each pin. Figure 2
illustrates this for a generic VDD pin and also shows that VDDA
requires that an additional 10 resistor along with a 10F bypass
capacitor be connected to the VDDA pin.

Crystal Input Interface
The ICS844N234I has been characterized with 12pF parallel
resonant crystals. The capacitor values shown in Figure 3 below
were determined using a 31.25MHz, 12pF parallel resonant crystal
and were chosen to minimize the ppm error.

Figure 3. Crystal Input Interface
Overdriving the XTAL Interface
The XTAL_IN input can be overdriven by an LVCMOS driver or by
one side of a differential driver through an AC coupling capacitor. The
XTAL_OUT pin can be left floating. The amplitude of the input signal
should be between 500mV and 1.8V and the slew rate should not be
less than 0.2V/nS. For 3.3V LVCMOS inputs, the amplitude must be
reduced from full swing to at least half the swing in order to prevent
signal interference with the power rail and to reduce internal noise.
Figure 4A shows an example of the interface diagram for a high
speed 3.3V LVCMOS driver. This configuration requires that the sum
of the output impedance of the driver (Ro) and the series resistance
(Rs) equals the transmission line impedance. In addition, matched
termination at the crystal input will attenuate the signal in half. This
can be done in one of two ways. First, R1 and R2 in parallel should
equal the transmission line impedance. For most 50 applications,
R1 and R2 can be 100. This can also be accomplished by removing
R1 and changing R2 to 50. The values of the resistors can be
increased to reduce the loading for a slower and weaker LVCMOS
driver. Figure 4B shows an example of the interface diagram for an
LVPECL driver. This is a standard LVPECL termination with one side
of the driver feeding the XTAL_IN input. It is recommended that all
components in the schematics be placed in the layout. Though some
components might not be used, they can be utilized for debugging
purposes. The datasheet specifications are characterized and
guaranteed by using a quartz crystal as the input.

Recommendations for Unused Input and Output Pins
Inputs:
Outputs:
Crystal Inputs
LVDS Outputs
For applications not requiring the use of the crystal oscillator input,
both XTAL_IN and XTAL_OUT can be left floating. Though not
required, but for additional protection, a 1k resistor can be tied from
XTAL_IN to ground.
All unused LVDS output pairs can be either left floating or terminated
with 100 across. If they are left floating, we recommend that there
is no trace attached.
REF_CLK Input
For applications not requiring the use of a reference clock input, it can
be left floating. Though not required, but for additional protection, a
1k resistor can be tied from the REF_CLK input to ground.
LVCMOS Control Pins
All control pins have internal pulldowns; additional resistance is not
required but can be added for additional protection. A 1k resistor
can be used.
LVDS Driver Termination
For a general LVDS interface, the recommended value for the
termination impedance (ZT) is between 90 and 132. The actual
value should be selected to match the differential impedance (Z0) of
your transmission line. A typical point-to-point LVDS design uses a
100 parallel resistor at the receiver and a 100 differential
transmission-line environment. In order to avoid any
transmission-line reflection issues, the components should be
surface mounted and must be placed as close to the receiver as
possible. IDT offers a full line of LVDS compliant devices with two
types of output structures: current source and voltage source. The
LVDS
Driver
standard termination schematic as shown in Figure 5A can be used
with either type of output structure. Figure 5B, which can also be
used with both output types, is an optional termination with center tap
capacitance to help filter common mode noise. The capacitor value
should be approximately 50pF. If using a non-standard termination, it
is recommended to contact IDT and confirm if the output structure is
current source or voltage source type. In addition, since these
outputs are LVDS compatible, the input receiver’s amplitude and
common-mode input range should be verified for compatibility with
the output.

VFQFN EPAD Thermal Release Path
In order to maximize both the removal of heat from the package and
the electrical performance, a land pattern must be incorporated on
the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) within the footprint of the package
corresponding to the exposed metal pad or exposed heat slug on the
package, as shown in Figure 6. The solderable area on the PCB, as
defined by the solder mask, should be at least the same size/shape
as the exposed pad/slug area on the package to maximize the
thermal/electrical performance. Sufficient clearance should be
designed on the PCB between the outer edges of the land pattern
and the inner edges of pad pattern for the leads to avoid any shorts.
and dependent upon the package power dissipation as well as
electrical conductivity requirements. Thus, thermal and electrical
analysis and/or testing are recommended to determine the minimum
number needed. Maximum thermal and electrical performance is
achieved when an array of vias is incorporated in the land pattern. It
is recommended to use as many vias connected to ground as
possible. It is also recommended that the via diameter should be 12
to 13mils (0.30 to 0.33mm) with 1oz copper via barrel plating. This is
desirable to avoid any solder wicking inside the via during the
soldering process which may result in voids in solder between the
exposed pad/slug and the thermal land. Precautions should be taken
to eliminate any solder voids between the exposed heat slug and the
land pattern. Note: These recommendations are to be used as a
guideline only. For further information, please refer to the Application
Note on the Surface Mount Assembly of Amkor’s Thermally/
Electrically Enhance Leadframe Base Package, Amkor Technology.
While the land pattern on the PCB provides a means of heat transfer
and electrical grounding from the package to the board through a
solder joint, thermal vias are necessary to effectively conduct from
the surface of the PCB to the ground plane(s). The land pattern must
be connected to ground through these vias. The vias act as “heat
pipes”. The number of vias (i.e. “heat pipes”) are application specific

Power Considerations
This section provides information on power dissipation and junction temperature for the ICS844N234I for all outputs that are configured to
LVDS (LEV_SEL = 0). Equations and example calculations are also provided.
1.
Power Dissipation.
The total power dissipation for the ICS844N234I is the sum of the core power plus the analog power plus the power dissipated in the load(s).
The following is the power dissipation for VDD = 3.3V + 5% = 3.465V, which gives worst case results.
The maximum current at 85°C is as follows:
IDD_MAX = 159mA
IDDA_MAX = 34mA
IDDO_MAX = 134mA
•
Power (core)MAX = VDD_MAX * (IDD_MAX + IDDA_MAX) = 3.465V * (159mA + 34mA) = 668.745mW
•
Power (output)MAX = VDDO_MAX * (IDDOA + IDDOB) = 3.465V *134mA = 464.31mW
Total Power_MAX = 668.745mW + 464.31mW = 1133.055mW
2. Junction Temperature.
Junction temperature, Tj, is the temperature at the junction of the bond wire and bond pad directly affects the reliability of the device. The
maximum recommended junction temperature is 125°C. Limiting the internal transistor junction temperature, Tj, to 125°C ensures that the bond
wire and bond pad temperature remains below 125°C.
The equation for Tj is as follows: Tj = JA * Pd_total + TA
Tj = Junction Temperature
JA = Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance
Pd_total = Total Device Power Dissipation (example calculation is in section 1 above)
TA = Ambient Temperature
In order to calculate junction temperature, the appropriate junction-to-ambient thermal resistance JA must be used. Assuming no air flow and
a multi-layer board, the appropriate value is 33.1°C/W per Table 7B below.
Therefore, Tj for an ambient temperature of 85°C with all outputs switching is:
85°C + 1.133W * 33.1°C/W = 122.5°C. This is below the limit of 125°C.
This calculation is only an example. Tj will obviously vary depending on the number of loaded outputs, supply voltage, air flow and the type of
board (multi-layer).
