APPLICATION INFORMATION
POWER SUPPLY FILTERING T ECHNIQUES
As in any high speed analog circuitry, the power supply pins
are vulnerable to random noise. The ICS8440258-46 provides
separate power supplies to isolate any high switching noise

through vias, and bypass capacitors should be used for each
pin. To achieve optimum jitter performance, power supply isolation is required.

LVCMOS TO XTAL INTERFACE
The XTAL_IN input can accept a single-ended LVCMOS
signal through an AC couple capacitor. A general interface
diagram is shown in
Figure 3.
The XTAL_OUT pin can be left
floating. The input edge rate can be as slow as 10ns. For
LVCMOS inputs, it is recommended that the amplitude be
reduced from full swing to half swing in order to prevent signal
interference with the power rail and to reduce noise. This
configuration requires that the output impedance of the driver
(Ro) plus the series resistance (Rs) equals the transmission
line impedance. In addition, matched termination at the crystal
input will attenuate the signal in half. This can be done in one
of two ways. First, R1 and R2 in parallel should equal the
transmission line impedance. For most 50Ω applications, R1
and R2 can be 100Ω. This can also be accomplished by
removing R1 and making R2 50Ω.

POWER CONSIDERATIONS
This section provides information on power dissipation and junction temperature for the ICS8440258-46.
Equations and example calculations are also provided.
1. Power Dissipation.
The total power dissipation for the ICS840258-46 is the sum of the core power plus the power dissipated in the load(s).
The following is the power dissipation for V

must be used.
JA
Therefore, Tj for an ambient temperature of 70°C with all outputs switching is:
70°C + 0.519W * 34.8°C/W = 88°C. This is below the limit of 125°C.
This calculation is only an example. Tj will obviously vary depending on the number of loaded outputs, supply voltage, air
flow, and the type of board (single layer or multi-layer).
