Triple PLL Field Programmable VCXO Clock Synthesizer

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION

Description

The ICS276 field programmable VCXO clock

synthesizer generates up to three 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.

and outputs, the ICS276 contains a One-Time

Programmable (OTP) ROM for field programmability.

Programming features include VCXO and eight

selectable configuration registers.

Each of the outputs are powered by a single VDDO

voltage. VDDO may vary from 1.8 V to VDD.

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 ICS276 is also available in factory programmed

custom versions for high-volume applications.
