ICS552-01A
Crystal Oscillator & Multiplier with 8 Low Skew Outputs
Description
The ICS552-01A produces 8 low skew
copies of a multiple of the input when a
clock or fundamental, parallel-mode crystal
is connected to it. Unlike other clock
drivers, it does not require a separate
oscillator for the input. Using a phaselocked loop (PLL) to multiply the input
frequency, it is ideal for generating and
distributing multiple high frequency clocks.

External Components
A minimum number of external components are required for proper operation. A decoupling capacitor of
0.01 uF should be connected between VDD and GND on pins 4 and 6, and 16 and 14. Other VDDs and
GNDs can be connected to these pins or directly to their respective power planes. A 33 Ω series terminating
resistor may be used on the clock output if the trace is longer than 1-inch.
The crystal should be a fundamental mode (do not use third overtone), parallel resonant, with accuracy as
required by the application. Crystal capacitors should be connected from pins X1 to ground and X2 to
ground. The value of these capacitors is given by the following equation, where CL is the crystal load
capacitance: Crystal caps (pF) = (CL-12) x 2. So for a crystal with 18pF load capacitance, two 12pF caps
should be used. For a clock input, connect it to X1/ICLK, and leave X2 unconnected (floating).
