ESCRIPTION
The ICS843034 is a general purpose, low phase
noise LVPECL synthesizer which can generate
frequencies for a wide variety of applications. The
ICS843034 has a 4:1 input Multiplexer from which
the following inputs can be selected: 1 differential
input, 1 single-ended input, or two crystal
oscillators, thus making the device ideal for frequency
translation or frequency generation. Each differential LVPECL
output pair has an output divider which can be independently
set so that two different frequencies can be generated.
Additionally, each LVPECL output pair has a dedicated power
supply pin so the outputs can run at 3.3V or 2.5V. The
ICS843034 also supplies a buffered copy of the reference
clock or crystal frequency on the single-ended REF_CLK pin
which can be enabled or disabled (disabled by default). The
output frequency can be programmed using either a serial or
parallel programming interface.
The phase jitter of the ICS843034 is less than 1ps rms, making
it suitable for use in Fibre Channel, SONET, and Ethernet
applications.
Example applications include systems which must support
both FEC and non FEC rates. In 10Gb Fibre Channel, for
example, you can use a 25.5MHz crystal to generate a
159.375MHz reference clock, and then switch to a 20.544MHz
crystal to generate 164.355MHz for 66/64 FEC. Other
applications could include supporting both Ethernet
frequencies and SONET frequencies in an application. When
Ethernet frequencies are needed, a 25MHz crystal can be
used and when SONET frequencies are needed, the input
MUX can be switched to select a 38.88MHz Crystal.
