ICS9161A
Dual Programmable Graphics Frequency Generator
General Description
Features
The ICS9161A is a fully programmable graphics clock
generator. It can generate user-specified clock frequencies
using an externally generated input reference or a single crystal.
The output frequency is programmed by entering a 24-bit
digital word through the serial port. Two fully userprogrammable phase-locked loops are offered in a single
package. One PLL is designed to drive the memory clock,
while the second drives the video clock. The outputs may be
changed on-the-fly to any desired frequency between 390 kHz
and 120 MHz. The ICS9161A is ideally suited for any design
where multiple or varying frequencies are required.

This part is ideal for graphics applications. It generates low
jitter, high speed pixel clocks. It can be used to replace multiple,
expensive high speed crystal oscillators. The flexibility of the
device allows it to generate non-standard graphics clocks.

Register Definitions
As seen in the VCLK Selection table, OE acts to tristate the
output. The PD# pin forces the VCLK signal high while
powering down the part. The EXTCLK pin will only be
multiplexed in when EXTSEL and SEL0 are logic 0 and SEL1
is a logic 1.
The register file consists of the following six registers:

MCLK Selection
The ICS9161A places the three video clock registers and the
memory clock register in a known state upon power-up. The
registers are initialized based on the state of the INIT1 and
INIT0 pins at application of power to the device. The INIT pins
must ramp up with VDD if a logical 1 on either pin is required.
These input pins are internally pulled down and will default to
a logical 0 if left unconnected.

When the ICS9161A is operating, the video clock output is
controlled with a combination of the SEL0, SEL1, PD# and
OE pins. The video clock is also multiplexed to an external
clock (EXTCLK) which can be selected with the EXTSEL
pin. The VCLK Selection Table shows how VCLK is selected.

When MCLK or the active VCLK register is being reprogrammed, then the reference signal is multiplexed glitchfree to the output during the first time-out interval. A second
time-Register out interval is also required to allow the VCO
to settle. During this period, the reference signal is
multiplexed to the appropriate output signal.
Register Selection
OE
PD#
The Clock Select pins SEL0 and SEL1 have two purposes. In
serial programming mode, these pins act as the clock and data
pins. New data bits come in on SEL1 and these bits are
clocked in by a signal on SEL0. While these pins are acquiring
new information, the VCLK signal remains unchanged. When
SEL0 and SEL1 are acting as register selects, a time-out
interval is required to determine whether the user is selecting
a new register or wants to program the part. During this initial
time-out, the VCLK signal remains at its previous frequency.
At the end of this time-out interval, a new register is selected.
A second time-out interval is required to allow the VCO to
settle to its new value. During this period of time, typically
5ms, the input reference signal is multiplexed to the VCLK
signal.

Control Register Definitions
The control register allows the user to adjust various internal options. The register is defined as follows:
Bit
21
20
Bit Name
C5
C4
Default Value
Description
0
This bit determines which power-down mode the PD# pin will implement.
Power-down mode 1, C5=0, forces the MCLK signals to be a function of the
power-down register. Power-down mode 2, C5=1, turns off the crystal and
disables all outputs.
0
This bit determines which clock is multiplexed to VCLK during frequency
changes. C4=0 multiplexes the reference frequency to the VCLK output. C4=1
multiplexes MCLK to the VCLK output for applications where the graphics
controller cannot run as slow as fREF.
19
C3
0
This bit determines the length of the time-out interval. The time-out interval is
derived from the MCLK VCO. If this VCO is programmed to certain extremes,
the time-out interval may be too short. C3=0, normal time-out. C3=1, doubled
time-out interval.
18
C2
0
Reserved, must be set to 0.
17
C1
1
This bit adjusts the duty cycle. C1=0 causes a 1ns decrease in output high time.
C1=1 causes no adjustment. If the load capacitance is high, the adjustment can
bring the duty cycle closer to 50%.
16
C0
0
Reserved, must be set to 0.

ICS9161A
Serial Programming Architecture
Since the VCLK registers are selected by the SEL0 and SEL1
pins, and since any change in their state may affect the output
frequency, new data input on the selection bits is only permitted
to pass through the decode logic after the watchdog timer has
timed out. This delay of SEL0 or SEL1 data permits a serial
program cycle to occur without affecting the current register
selection.
The pins SEL0 and SEL1 perform the dual functions of selecting registers and serial programming. In serial programming
mode, SEL0 acts as a clock pin while SEL1 acts as the data pin.
The ICS9161A-01 may not be serially programmed when in
power-down mode.
In order to program a particular register, an unlocking sequence
must occur. The unlocking sequence is detailed in the following
timing diagram:
Serial Data Register
The serial data is clocked into the serial data register in the
order described in Figure 1 below (Serial Data Timing).
The serial data is sent as follows: An individual data bit is
sampled on the rising edge of CLK. The complement of the
data bit must be sampled on the previous falling edge of CLK.
The setup and hold time requirements must be met on both
CLK edges. For specifics on timing, see the timing diagrams
on pages 10, 11 and 12.
The bits are shifted in this order: a start bit, 21 data bits, 3
address bits (which designate the desired register), and a stop
bit. A total of 24 bits must always be loaded into the serial data
register or an error is issued. Following the entry of the last
data bit, a stop bit or load command is issued by bringing
DATA high and toggling CLK high-to-low and low-to-high.
The unlocking mechanism then resets itself following the
load. Only after a time-out period are the SEL0 and SEL1 pins
allowed to return to a register selection function.
The unlock sequence consists of at least five low-to-high
transitions of CLK while data is high, followed immediately
by a single low-to-high transition while data is low. Following
this unlock sequence, data can be loaded into the serial data
register. This programming must include the start bit, shown
in Figure 1.
Following any transition of CLK or DATA, the watchdog
timer is reset and begins counting. The watchdog timer
ensures that successive rising edges of CLK and DATA do not
violate the time-out specification of 2ms. If a time-out
occurs, the lock mechanism is reset and the data in the serial
data register is ignored.
Figure 1: Serial Data Timing

ICS9161A
The equations used to determine the oscillator frequency are:
The serial data register is exactly 24 bits long, enough to
accept the data being sent. The stop bit acts as a load command
that passes the contents of the Serial Data Register into the
register indicated by the three address bits. If a stop bit is not
received after the serial register is full, and more data is sent,
all data in the register is ignored and an error issued. If correct
data is received, then the unlocking mechanism re-arms, all
data in the serial data register is ignored, and an error is
issued.
N=N’ + 3 M=M’ + 2
FVCO=Prescale • N/M • FREF
where 3 ≤ M ≤ 129 and 4 ≤ N ≤ 130
and prescale=2 or 4, as set in the control register
(Where N is the VCO divider & M is the reference divider)
The value of FVCO must remain between 50 MHz and 120 MHz.
As a result, for output frequencies below 50 MHz, FVCO must
be brought into range. To achieve this, an output divisor is
selected by setting the values of the Mux Field (R) as follows:
ERROUT# Operation
Any error in programming the ICS9161A is signaled by
ERROUT#. When the pin goes low, an error has been detected.
It stays low until the next unlock sequence. The signal is
invoked for any of the following errors: incorrect start bit,
incorrect data encoding, incorrect length of data word, and
incorrect stop bit.

recommended that it is operated within the following limits:

Unlike the ICD2061A, the ICS9161A’s VCO does not
require tuning to place it in certain ranges. The ICS9161A’s
VCO will operate from 50 MHz to 120 MHz without adjusting
the VCO gain. However, to maintain compatibility, the I bits
are programmed as in the ICD2061A.
These bits are dummy bits except for the following two cases:
Index Field (I)
The frequency of the programmable oscillator FVCO is
determined by the following fields:

Turn off VCLK
Mux MCLK to VLCK
50 - 120 MHz
50 - 120 MHz
When the index field is set to 1111, VCLK is turned off and
both channels run from the same MCLK VCO. This is done in
an effort to reduce jitter, which may increase when VCOs run
at 2n multiples of one another. If the two outputs have to be
multiples of one another, it is best to mux MCLK over to the
output of the VCLK VCO and to power-down the VCLK VCO.
The multiplexed frequency will be divided down by the correct
divisor (M) and output on VCLK.
Where the least significant bit is the last bit of M and the most
significant bit is the first bit of I.

Power Management Issues
Power-down mode 2
Power-down mode 1
When there is no need for any output during power-down, an
alternate mode is available which will completely shut down
all outputs and the reference oscillator, but still preserves all
register contents. Power-down mode 2 in invoked by first
programming the power-down bit in the CNTL register and
then pulling the PD# pin low.
The ICS9161A contains a mechanism to reduce the quiescent
power when stand-by operation is desired. Power-down mode
1 is invoked by polling PD# low and having the proper CNTL
register bit set to zero. In this mode, VCOs are shut down, the
VCLK output is forced high, and the MCLK output is set to a
user-defined low frequency value to refresh dynamic RAM.
The PD# pin
The PD# pin has a standard internal pull-up resistor during
normal operation. When the chip goes into power-down
mode 1 or 2, the normal pull-up resistor is dynamically
switched to a weak pull-up, which reduces power consumption.
If the PD# pin is allowed to float after it has been pulled
down, the weak pull-up will bring the signal high and allow the
device to resume operation.
The power-down MCLK value is determined by the following
equation:
MCLKPD = FREF/(PWRDWN register divisor value)
The power-down register divisor is determined according to
the 4-bit word programmed into the PWRDWN register (see
table below).
