ICS542

Clock Divider

Description

The ICS542 is a cost effective way to produce a
high quality clock output divided from a clock
input. The chip accepts a clock input up to
156 MHz, and produces a divide by 2, 4, 6, 8, 12,
or 16 of the input clock. There are two outputs on
the chip, one being a low-skew divide by two of
the other. So, for instance, if a 100 MHz clock is
used, the ICS542 can produce low skew 50 MHz
and 25 MHz clocks, or low skew 25 MHz and

12.5 MHz clocks. The chip has an all-chip power
down mode that stops the outputs low, and an OE
pin that tri-states the outputs.

The ICS542 is a member of the ICS
ClockBlocks™ family of clock building blocks.
See the ICS541 and ICS543 for other clock
dividers, and the ICS501, 502, 511, 512 and 525
for clock multipliers.

2 VDD P Connect to +3.3V or +5V.
3 GND P Connect to ground.
4 S0 I Select 0 for output clock. Connect to GND or VDD. Internal pull-up.
5 S1 I Select 1 for output clock. Connect to GND or VDD. Internal pull-up.
6 OE I Output Enable. Tri-states both output clocks when low. Internal pull-up.
7 CLK/2 O Clock output per Table above. Low skew divide by two of pin 8 clock.
8 CLK O Clock output per Table above.

Key: CI = clock input, I = input, O = output, P = power supply connection

External Components

The ICS542 requires a 0.01 µF decoupling capacitor to be connected between VDD and GND. It must
be connected close to the ICS542 to minimize lead inductance. No external power supply filtering is
required for this device. A 33 Ω series terminating resistor can be used next to each output pin. If a 3.3 V
input clock is applied to the ICLK pin, with the ICS542 at 5 V, the clock must be AC coupled.
