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 ICS’ VersaClockTM 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.
Packaged as 20-pin SSOP (QSOP)
Spread spectrum capability

spaces, instead they should be separated and away
from other traces.
Series Termination Resistor
3) To minimize EMI, the 33Ω series termination resistor
(if needed) should be placed close to the clock output.
Clock output traces over one inch should use series
termination. To series terminate a 50Ω trace (a
commonly used trace impedance), place a 33Ω resistor
in series with the clock line, as close to the clock output
pin as possible. The nominal impedance of the clock
output is 20Ω.
Decoupling Capacitors
ICS345 Configuration Capabilities
The architecture of the ICS345 allows the user to easily
configure the device to a wide range of output
frequencies, for a given input reference frequency.
As with any high-performance mixed-signal IC, the
ICS345 must be isolated from system power supply
noise to perform optimally.
Decoupling capacitors of 0.01µF must be connected
between each VDD and the PCB ground plane.
Crystal Load Capacitors
The device crystal connections should include pads for
small capacitors from X1 to ground and from X2 to
ground. These capacitors are used to adjust the stray
capacitance of the board to match the nominally
required crystal load capacitance. Because load
capacitance can only be increased in this trimming
process, it is important to keep stray capacitance to a
minimum by using very short PCB traces (and no vias)
been the crystal and device. Crystal capacitors must be
connected from each of the pins X1 and X2 to ground.
The value (in pF) of these crystal caps should equal
(CL -6 pF)*2. In this equation, CL= crystal load
capacitance in pF. Example: For a crystal with a 16 pF
load capacitance, each crystal capacitor would be 20
pF [(16-6) x 2] = 20.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output
phase noise, the following guidelines should be
observed.
1) Each 0.01µF decoupling capacitor should be
mounted on the component side of the board as close
to the VDD pin as possible. No vias should be used
between decoupling capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB
trace to VDD pin should be kept as short as possible,
as should the PCB trace to the ground via.
2) The external crystal should be mounted just next to
the device with short traces. The X1 and X2 traces
should not be routed next to each other with minimum
The frequency multiplier PLL provides a high degree of
precision. The M/N values (the multiplier/divide values
available to generate the target VCO frequency) can be
set within the range of M = 1 to 2048 and N = 1 to 1024.
The ICS345 also provides separate output divide
values, from 2 through 20, to allow the two output clock
banks to support widely differing frequency values from
the same PLL.
Each output frequency can be represented as:

ICS VersaClock Software
ICS applies years of PLL optimization experience into a
user friendly software that accepts the user’s target
reference clock and output frequencies and generates
the lowest jitter, lowest power configuration, with only a
press of a button. The user does not need to have prior
PLL experience or determine the optimal VCO
frequency to support multiple output frequencies.
VersaClock software quickly evaluates accessible VCO
frequencies with available output divide values and
provides an easy to understand, bar code rating for the
target output frequencies. The user may evaluate
output accuracy, performance trade-off scenarios in
seconds.
Spread Spectrum Modulation
The ICS345 utilizes frequency modulation (FM) to
distribute energy over a range of frequencies. By
modulating the output clock frequencies, the device
effectively lowers energy across a broader range of

signal layers.

frequencies; thus, lowering a system’s electromagnetic
interference (EMI). The modulation rate is the time from
transitioning from a minimum frequency to a maximum
frequency and then back to the minimum.
Spread Spectrum Modulation can be applied as either
“center spread” or “down spread”. During center spread
modulation, the deviation from the target frequency is
equal in the positive and negative directions. The
effective average frequency is equal to the target
frequency. In applications where the clock is driving a
component with a maximum frequency rating, down
spread should be applied. In this case, the maximum
frequency, including modulation, is the target
frequency. The effective average frequency is less than
the target frequency.
be modulated between +/- 0.125% to +/-2.0%. For
down spread, the frequency can be modulated
between -0.25% to -4.0%.
Both output frequency banks will utilize identical spread
spectrum percentage deviations and modulation rates,
if a common VCO frequency can be identified.
Spread Spectrum Modulation Rate
The spread spectrum modulation frequency applied to
the output clock frequency may occur at a variety of
rates. For applications requiring the driving of
“down-circuit” PLLs, Zero Delay Buffers, or those
adhering to PCI standards, the spread spectrum
modulation rate should be set to 30-33 kHz. For other
applications, a 120 kHz modulation option is available.
The ICS345 operates in both center spread and down
spread modes. For center spread, the frequency can
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS345. These ratings, which
are standard values for ICS commercially rated parts, are stress ratings only. Functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of the
specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods can
affect product reliability. Electrical parameters are guaranteed only over the recommended operating
temperature range.
