SPREAD SPECTRUM CLOCK GENERATOR ICS7151
IDT™ / ICS™
SPREAD SPECTRUM CLOCK GENERATOR 1
ICS7151 REV J 051310
Description
The ICS7151-10, -20, -40, and -50 are clock generators for
EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) reduction (see below
for frequency ranges and multiplier ratios). Spectral peaks
can be attenuated by slightly modulating the oscillation
frequency. Both down and center spread profiles are
selectable. Down spread maintains an average frequency
less than an unspread clock, and will not exceed the
maximum frequency of an unspread clock.
Features
•Operating voltage of 3.3 V ±0.3 V
•Packaged in 8-pin SOIC
•Pb (lead) free package, RoHS compliant
•Input frequency range of 16.5 to 33.4 MHz
•Output frequency ranges of 8.3 to 16.7 MHz, 16.5 to 33.4
MHz, 33.3 to 66.7 MHz, 66.6 to 133.4 MHz
•Provides a spread spectrum clock output (±0.5%, ±1.5%
center spread; -1.0%, -3.0% down spread)
•Multiplication rates of x1/2, x1, x2, and x4
•Advanced, low-power CMOS process

External Components
The ICS7151 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between GND and VDD on pin 7, as close to this pin as
possible. For optimum device performance, the decoupling
capacitor should be mounted on the component side of the
PCB. Avoid the use of vias in the decoupling circuit.
Series Termination Resistor
Series termination should be used on the clock output. To
series terminate a 50Ω trace (a commonly used trace
impedance) place a 27Ω resistor in series with the clock line,
as close to the clock output pin as possible. The nominal
impedance of the clock output is 25Ω.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output phase
noise, the following guidelines should be observed.
1) The 0.01µF decoupling capacitor should be mounted on
the component side of the board as close to the VDD pin as
possible. No vias should be used between the decoupling
capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB trace to VDD pin should
be kept as short as possible, as should the PCB trace to the
ground via.
2) To minimize EMI, the 27Ω series termination resistor (if
needed) should be placed close to the clock output.
3) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other signal
layers. Other signal traces should be routed away from the
ICS7151. This includes signal traces just underneath the
device, or on layers adjacent to the ground plane layer used
by the device.
Crystal Information
The crystal used should be a fundamental mode (do not use
third overtone), parallel resonant. Crystal capacitors should
be connected from pins X1 to ground and X2 to ground to
optimize the initial accuracy. The value of these capacitors
is given by the following equation:
Crystal caps (pF) = (CL - 6) x 2
In the equation, CL is the crystal load capacitance. So, for a
crystal with a 16 pF load capacitance, two 20 pF [(16-6) x 2]
capacitors should be used.
Spread Spectrum Profile
The ICS7151 low EMI clock generator uses a triangular
frequency modulation profile for optimal down stream
tracking of zero delay buffers and other PLL devices. The
frequency modulation amplitude is constant with variations
of the input frequency.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS7151. These ratings, which are
standard values for IDT commercially rated parts, are stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods can affect product reliability. Electrical
parameters are guaranteed only over the recommended operating temperature range.
