ICS8442

The ICS8442 is a general purpose, dual output

Crystal-to-Differential LVDS High Frequency

Synthesizer and a member of the HiPerClockS™

family of High Performance Clock Solutions from

ICS. The ICS8442 has a selectable TEST_CLK

or crystal input. The TEST_CLK input accepts LVCMOS or

LVTTL input levels and translates them to LVDS levels. The

VCO operates at a frequency range of 250MHz to 700MHz. The

VCO frequency is programmed in steps equal to the value of

the input reference or crystal frequency. The VCO and output

frequency can be programmed using the serial or parallel inter-

face to the configuration logic.The low phase noise characteris-

tics of the ICS8442 makes it an ideal clock source for Gigabit

Ethernet and Sonet applications.
