The ICS674-01 consists of 2 separate
configurable dividers. The A Divider is a 7 bit
divider and can divide by 3 to 129. The
B Divider consists of a 9 bit divider followed by a
post divider. The 9 bit divider can divide by 12
to 519. The post divider has eight settings of
1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 giving a maximum total
divide of 5190. The A and B Dividers can be
cascaded to give a maximum divide of 669510.
The ICS674-01 supports the ICS673 PLL
Building Block and enables the user to build a full
custom PLL synthesizer.

Pin Description
External Components
The ICS674-01 requires a 0.01µF decoupling capacitor to be connected between VDD and GND. It
must be connected close to the ICS674-01 to minimize lead inductance. Terminating resistors of 33Ω can
be used in series with the OUTA and OUTB

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
Determining (setting) the divider
The user has full control in setting the desired divide. The user should connect the appropriate divider select
input pins directly to ground (or VDD, although this is not required because of internal pull-ups) during
Printed Circuit Board layout, so that the ICS674-01 automatically produces the correct divide when all
components are soldered. It is also possible to connect the inputs to parallel I/O ports in order to change
divides.
The divides of the ICS674-01 can be determined by the following simple equations:
Divide A = DAW+2
Where Divider A Word (DAW) = 1 to 127 (0 is not permitted).
Divide B = (DBW+8)•PD
Where Divider B Word (DBW) = 4 to 511 (0,1,2,3, are not permitted).
Post Divider (PD) = values on Page 2
For example, suppose Divide A is desired to be 61 and Divide B is desired to be 284, then
DAW = 59, DBW = 276 and PD = 1. This means A6:A0 is 0111011, B8:B0 is
100010100 and S2:S0 is 110. Since all inputs have pull-ups, it is only necessary to ground
the zero pins, namely A6, A2, B7, B6, B5, B3, B1, B0 and S0.

OUTB Clock Duty Cycle, odd post dividers at VDD/2, except PD=1 40 60 %
OUTA Clock Duty Cycle (see note) at VDD/2 20 98.5 %
Note:
The duty cycle of OUTA is dependent on the selected divide. This is because OUTA goes low for 2 input
clock cycles on INA. So, for example, if a divide of 20 is selected, the duty cycle will be 90%.
Similarly, if PD=1 is selected for OUTB, the duty cycle will be dependent on the selected divide. In this
case OUTB
oes high for approximately 8 input clock cycles on INB.
