Low Skew, 1-to-11 LVCMOS/LVTTL
Clock Multiplier/Zero Delay Buffer
ICS87952I-147
DATA SHEET
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ICS87952I-147 is a low voltage, low skew
ICS
LVCMOS/LVTTL Clock Generator and a member of
HiPerClockS™
the HiPerClockS™ family of High Performance Clock
Solutions from IDT. With output frequencies up to
180MHz, the ICS87952I-147 is targeted for high
performance clock applications. Along with a fully integrated PLL,
the ICS87952I-147 contains frequency configurable outputs and
an external feedback input for regenerating clocks with “zero delay”.
• Fully integrated PLL
• Eleven LVCMOS / LVTTL outputs, 7Ω typical output impedance
• LVCMOS / LVTTL REF_CLK input
• Output frequency range up to 180MHz at VDD = 3.3V ± 5%
• VCO range: 240MHz - 480MHz
• External feedback for “zero delay” clock regeneration
• Cycle-to-cycle jitter: 100ps (maximum)
For test and system debug purposes, the nPLL_EN input allows
the PLL to be bypassed. When HIGH, the MR/nOE input resets
the internal dividers and forces the outputs to the high impedance
state.
• 3.3V supply voltage
• -40°C to 85°C ambient operating temperature
• Available in both standard (RoHS 5) and lead-free (RoHS 6)
packages
The low impedance LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs of the ICS87952I147 are designed to drive terminated transmission lines. The effective fanout of each output can be doubled by utilizing the ability of each output to drive two series terminated transmission lines.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
POWER SUPPLY FILTERING TECHNIQUES
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 ICS87952I-147 provides
separate power supplies to isolate any high switching noise from
the outputs to the internal PLL. VDD, VDDA, and VDDO should be individually connected to the power supply plane through vias, and
0.01µF bypass capacitors should be used for each pin. Figure 1
illustrates this for a generic VDD pin and also shows that VDDA requires that an additional10Ω resistor along with a 10µF bypass
capacitor be connected to the VDDA pin.

LAYOUT GUIDELINE
The schematic of the ICS87952I-147 layout example is shown in
Figure 2A. This layout example is used as a general guideline.
The layout in the actual system will depend on the selected com-
ponent types, the density of the components, the density of the
traces, and the stack up of the P.C. board.

The following component footprints are used in this layout
example:
cause system failure. The shape of the trace and the trace delay
might be restricted by the available space on the board and the
component location. While routing the traces, the clock signal traces
should be routed first and should be locked prior to routing other
signal traces.
All the resistors and capacitors are size 0603.
POWER AND GROUNDING
Place the decoupling capacitors as close as possible to the power
pins. If space allows, placement of the decoupling capacitor on the
component side is preferred. This can reduce unwanted inductance
between the decoupling capacitor and the power pin caused by the
via.
• The 50Ω output traces should have same length.
• Avoid sharp angles on the clock trace. Sharp angle turns
cause the characteristic impedance to change on the trans
mission lines.
• Keep the clock traces on the same layer. Whenever pos
sible, avoid placing vias on the clock traces. Placement of
vias on the traces can affect the trace characteristic imped
ance and hence degrade signal integrity.
Maximize the power and ground pad sizes and number of vias
capacitors. This can reduce the inductance between the power and
ground planes and the component power and ground pins.
• To prevent cross talk, avoid routing other signal traces in
parallel with the clock traces. If running parallel traces is
unavoidable, allow a separation of at least three trace
widths between the differential clock trace and the other
signal trace.
The RC filter consisting of R7, C11, and C16 should be placed as
close to the VDDA pin as possible.
CLOCK TRACES AND TERMINATION
Poor signal integrity can degrade the system performance or cause
system failure. In synchronous high-speed digital systems, the clock
signal is less tolerant to poor signal integrity than other signals. Any
ringing on the rising or falling edge or excessive ring back can
• The series termination resistors should be located as close to
the driver pins as possible.
