ICS502
LOCO™ PLL Clock Multiplier
Description
The ICS502 LOCO™ is the most cost effective
way to generate a high quality, high frequency
clock output and a reference from a low frequency
crystal or clock input. The name LOCO stands for
LOw Cost Oscillator, as it is designed to replace
crystal oscillators in most electronic systems. Using
Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) techniques, the device
uses a standard fundamental mode, inexpensive
crystal to produce output clocks up to 160 MHz.
Stored in the chip’s ROM is the ability to generate
6 different multiplication factors, allowing one
chip to output many common frequencies (see
page 2).
Features

Note that all of the above outputs are achieved by using an inexpensive 10MHz to 27MHz crystal.
Consult MicroClock/ICS on how to achieve other output frequencies.
