DATASHEET
TRIPLE PLL FIELD PROGRAMMABLE SS VERSACLOCK SYNTHESIZER
ICS345
Description
The ICS345 field programmable clock synthesizer
generates up to nine high-quality, high-frequency clock
outputs including multiple reference clocks from a
low-frequency crystal or clock 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 ICS345 contains a One-Time Programmable
(OTP) ROM to allow field programmability. Programming
features include eight selectable configuration registers, up
to two sets of four low-skew outputs, and optional Spread
Spectrum outputs.
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 ICS345 is also available in factory programmed custom
versions for high-volume applications.
