ICS307
Serially Programmable Clock Source
Description
The ICS307-01 and ICS307-02 are versatile
serially programmable clock sources which take
up very little board space.
They can generate any frequency from 6 to
200 MHz, and have a second configurable
output. The outputs can be reprogrammed on
the fly, and will lock to a new frequency in 10 ms
or less. Smooth transitions (in which the clock
duty cycle remains roughly 50%) are guaranteed
if the output divider is not changed.
The devices include a PDTS pin which tri-states
the output clocks and powers down the entire
chip.
The ICS307-02 features a default clock output
at start-up and is recommended for all new
designs.

Determining the Output Frequency
On power-up the ICS307-01 on-chip registers can have random values, so almost any frequency may be
output from the part. CLK1 will always have some clock signal present, but CLK2 could possibly be OFF
(low).
The ICS307-02 on-chip registers are initially configured to provide a x1 output clock on both the CLK1
and CLK2 outputs. The output frequency will be the same as the input clock or crystal. This is useful if
the ICS307 will provide the initial system clock at power-up. Since this feature is an advantage in most
systems, the ICS307-02 is recommended for new designs.
With programming, the user has full control in changing the desired output frequency to any value over the
range shown in Table 1 on page 4. The output of the ICS307 can be determined by the following simple
equation:
CLK1 frequency = Input frequency • 2 •
Where VCO Divider Word (VDW) = 4 to 511 (0, 1, 2, 3 are not permitted)
Reference Divider Word (RDW) = 1 to 127 (0 is not permitted)
Output Divider = values on page 4
Also, the following operating ranges should be observed:
55 MHz < Input frequency • 2 •
200 kHz <
