Triple PLL Field Programmable VCXO Clock Synthesizer

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION

Description

The ICS270 field programmable VCXO clock

synthesizer generates up to eight high-quality,

high-frequency clock outputs including multiple

reference clocks from a low-frequency crystal input. It

is designed to replace crystals and crystal oscillators in

most electronic systems.

and outputs, the ICS270 contains a One-Time

Programmable (OTP) ROM for field programmability.

Programming features include VCXO, eight selectable

configuration registers and up to two sets of four

low-skew outputs.

Using Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the

device runs from a standard fundamental mode,

inexpensive crystal, or clock. It can replace VCXOs,

multiple crystals and oscillators, saving board space

and cost.

The ICS270 is also available in factory programmed

custom versions for high-volume applications.
