DATASHEET
TRIPLE PLL FIELD PROGRAMMABLE VCXO CLOCK SYNTHESIZER
Description
The ICS275 field programmable VCXO clock synthesizer
generates up to four high-quality, high-frequency clock
outputs including multiple reference clocks from a
low-frequency crystal input. It is designed to replace
crystals and crystal oscillators in most electronic systems.
Using IDT’s VersaClock
TM
software to configure PLLs and
outputs, the ICS275 contains a One-Time Programmable
(OTP) ROM for field programmability. Programming
features include VCXO, eight selectable configuration
registers and up to two sets of two low-skew outputs.
Using Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the device
runs from a standard fundamental mode, inexpensive
crystal, or clock. It can replace VCXOs, multiple crystals
and oscillators, saving board space and cost.
The ICS275 is also available in factory programmed custom
versions for high-volume applications.
