DATASHEET
FIELD PROGRAMMABLE TRIPLE OUTPUT SS VERSACLOCK SYNTHESIZER
ICS343
Description
The ICS343 is a low cost, triple-output, field programmable
clock synthesizer. The ICS343 can generate three output
frequencies from 250 kHz to 200 MHz, using up to three
independently configurable PLLs. The outputs may employ
Spread Spectrum techniques to reduce system
electro-magnetic interference (EMI).
Using ICS’ VersaClock™ software to configure the PLL and
output, the ICS343 contains a One-Time Programmable
(OTP) ROM to allow field programmability. Using
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the device runs from
a standard fundamental mode, inexpensive crystal, or
clock. It can replace multiple crystals and oscillators, saving
board space and cost.
The device also has a power down feature that tri-states the
clock outputs and turns off the PLLs when the PDTS pin is
taken low.
The ICS343 is also available in factory-programmed
custom versions for high-volume applications.
