ICS552-03
LOW SKEW 1 TO 8 CLOCK BUFFER (4 AT 1X, 4 AT 1/2X)
Description
The ICS552-03 is a low skew, single input to eight
output clock buffer. Four of the outputs are exact copies
of the input, while the other four are divide by 2 copies
of the input. It is part of ICS’ Clock Blocks
the ICS553 for a 1 to 4 low skew buffer , or the
ICS552-02 for a 1 to 8 low skew buffer without divide by
2. For more than 8 outputs see the MK74CBxxx
Buffalo
ICS makes many non-PLL and PLL based low skew
output devices as well as Z ero Delay Buffers to
synchronize clocks. Contact us for all of your clocking
needs.

Pin Description
External Components
A minimum number of external components are required for proper operation. Decoupling capacitors of
0.01 µF should be connected between VDD on pin 2 and GND on pin 7,and between VDD on pin 15 and
GND on pin 10, as close to the device as possible. A 33 Ω series terminating resistor should be used on
each clock output if the trace is longer than 1 inch.
To achieve the low output skews that the ICS552-03 is capable of, careful attention must be paid to board
layout. Essentially, all 8 outputs must have identical terminations, identical loads, and identical trace
geometries. If they do not, the output skew will be degraded. For example, using a 30Ω series termination
on one output (with 33Ω on the others) will cause at least 15 ps of skew.
