ICS9112-18
Zero Delay, Low Skew Buffer
Description
The ICS9112-18 is a low jitter, low-skew, high
performance PLL based zero delay buffer for high
speed applications. Based on ICS’s proprietary low
jitter Phase Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the
device provides eight low skew outputs at speeds
up to 160 MHz at 3.3 V. The ICS9112-18
includes a bank of four outputs running at 1X, and
another four outputs running at 1/2X. In the zero
delay mode, the rising edge of the input clock is
aligned with the rising edges of all eight outputs.
Compared to competitive CMOS devices, the
ICS9112-18 has the lowest jitter of all.
ICS manufactures the largest variety of clock
generators and buffers, and is the largest clock
supplier in the world.

Key: I = Input; O = output; P = power supply connection.
External Components
The ICS9112-18 requires a minimum number of external components for proper operation. Decoupling
capacitors of 0.1µF should be connected between VDD and GND on pins 4 and 5, and VDD and GND
on pins 13 and 12, as close to the device as possible. A series termination resistor of 33 Ω may be used close
to the pin for each clock output to reduce reflections.
