LVCMOS/LVTTL CLOCK GENERATOR
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ICS8701 is a low skew, ÷1, ÷2 LVCMOS/LVTTL Clock
Generator . The low impedance LVCMOS outputs are
designed to drive 50Ω series orparallel terminated
transmission lines. The effective fanout can be increased
from 20 to 40 by utilizing the ability of the outputs to drive
two series terminated lines.
The divide select inputs, DIV_SELx, control the output
frequency of each bank. The outputs can be utilized in the
÷1, ÷2 or a combination of ÷1 and ÷2 modes. The bank
enable inputs, BANK_EN0:1, support enabling and
disabling each bank of outputs individually. The master
reset input, nMR/OE, resets the internal frequency dividers
and also controls the active and high impedance states of
all outputs.
The ICS8701 is characterized at 3.3V and mixed
3.3V input supply, and 2.5V output supply operating
modes. Guaranteed bank, output and part-to-part skew
characteristics make the ICS8701 ideal for those clock
distribution applications demanding well defined
performance and repeatability.
