operate from either a 2.5V or a 3.3V power supply. Guaranteed output and bank skew characteristics make the
ICS854S204I ideal for those clock distribution applications
demanding well defined performance and repeatability.

RECOMMENDATIONSFOR UNUSED INPUTAND OUTPUT PINS
INPUTS:
CLK/nCLK INPUT:
For applications not requiring the use of the differential input,
both CLK and nCLK can be left floating. Though not required,
but for additional protection, a 1kΩ resistor can be tied from CLK
to ground.
nCLKx

OUTPUTS:
LVDS OUTPUT
All unused LVDS output pairs can be either left floating or
terminated with 100Ω across. If they are left floating, there should
be no trace attached.
LVPECL O
All unused LVPECL outputs can be left floating. We recommend
that there is no trace attached. Both sides of the differential output
pair should either be left floating or terminated.

the input termination applies for ICS

TERMINATIONFOR 3.3V LVPECL OUTPUTS
The clock layout topology shown below is a typical termination
for LVPECL outputs. The two different layouts mentioned are
recommended only as guidelines.
FOUT and nFOUT are low impedance follower outputs that generate ECL/LVPECL compatible outputs. Therefore, terminating
resistors (DC current path to ground) or current sources must
be used for functionality. These outputs are designed to drive
50Ω transmission lines. Matched impedance techniques should

be used to maximize operating frequency and minimize signal
distortion.
Figures 4A and 4B
show two different layouts which
are recommended only as guidelines. Other suitable clock layouts may exist and it would be recommended that the board
designers simulate to guarantee compatibility across all printed
circuit and clock component process variations.
