ICS1562B
Overview
PLL Post-Scaler
The ICS1562B is ideally suited to provide the graphics system
clock signals required by high-performance video DACs.
Fully programmable feedback and reference divider capability
allow virtually any frequency to be generated, not just simple
multiples of the reference frequency. The ICS1562B uses the
latest generation of frequency synthesis techniques developed
by ICS and is completely suitable for the most demanding
video applications.
A programmable post-scaler may be inserted between the VCO
and the CLK+ and CLK- outputs of the ICS1562B. This is
useful in generating lower frequencies, as the VCO has been
optimized for high-frequency operation.
The post-scaler allows the selection of:

PLL Synthesizer Description Ratiometric Mode
The ICS1562B generates its output frequencies using phaselocked loop techniques. The phase-locked loop (or PLL) is a
closed-loop feedback system that drives the output frequency
to be ratiometrically related to the reference frequency provided to the PLL (see Figure 1). The reference frequency is
generated by an on-chip crystal oscillator or the reference
frequency may be applied to the ICS1562B from an external
frequency source.
VCO frequency divided by 2
VCO frequency divided by 4
Internal register bit (AUXCLK) value
Load Clock Divider
The ICS1562B has an additional programmable divider (referred to in Figure 1 as the N1 divider) that is used to generate
the LOAD clock frequency for the video DAC. The modulus
of this divider may be set to 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 or 20 under
register control. The design of this divider permits the output
duty factor to be 50/50, even when an odd modulus is selected.
The input frequency to this divider is the output of the PLL
post-scaler described above. Additionally, this divider can be
disabled under register control.
The phase-frequency detector shown in the block diagram
drives the voltage-controlled oscillator, or VCO, to a frequency
that will cause the two inputs to the phase-frequency detector
to be matched in frequency and phase. This occurs when:
F(VCO): =
VCO frequency
F(XTAL1) . Feedback Divider
Reference Divider
Digital Inputs - ICS1562B-001 Option
This expression is exact; that is, the accuracy of the output
frequency depends solely on the reference frequency provided
to the part (assuming correctly programmed dividers).
The AD0-AD3 pins and the STROBE pin are used to load all
control registers of the ICS1562B (-001 option). The AD0AD3 and STROBE pins are each equipped with a pull-up and
will be at a logic HIGH level when not connected. They may
be driven with standard TTL or CMOS logic families.
The VCO gain is programmable, which permits the ICS1562B
to be optimized for best performance at all operating frequencies.
The address of the register to be loaded is latched from the
AD0-AD3 pins by a negative edge on the STROBE pin. The
data for that register is latched from the AD0-AD3 pins by a
positive edge on the STROBE pin. See Figure 2 for a timing
diagram. After power-up, the ICS1562B-001 requires 32 register writes for new programming to become effective. Since
only 13 registers are used at present, the programming system
can perform 19 “dummy” writes to address 13 or 14 to complete the sequence.
The reference divider may be programmed for any modulus
from 1 to 128 in steps of one.
The feedback divider may be programmed for any modulus
from 37 through 448 in steps of one. Any even modulus from
448 through 896 can also be achieved by setting the “double”
bit which doubles the feedback divider modulus. The feedback
divider makes use of a dual-modulus prescaler technique that
allows the programmable counters to operate at low speed
without sacrificing resolution. This is an improvement over
conventional fixed prescaler architectures that typically impose a factor-of-four penalty (or larger) in this respect.
Table 1 permits the derivator of “A” & “M” converter programming directly from desired modulus.

ICS1562B-201 Register Loading
This allows the synthesizer to be completely programmed for
the desired frequency before it is made active. Once the part
has been “unlocked” by the 32 writes, programming becomes
effective immediately.

DATA
ALL registers identified in the data sheet (0-9, 11, 12 & 15)
MUST be written upon initial programming. The programming
registers are not initialized upon power-up, but the latched
outputs of those registers are. The latch is made transparent
after 32 register writes. If any register has not been written, the
state upon power-up (random) will become effective. Registers
13 & 14 physically do not exist. Register 10 does exist, but is
reserved for future expansion. To insure compatibility with
possible future modifications to the database, ICS recommends
that all three unused locations be written with zero.

An additional control pin on the ICS1562B-201, BLANK can
perform either of two functions. It may be used to disable the
phase-frequency detector in line-locked applications. Alternatively, the BLANK pin may be used as a synchronous enable
for VRAM shift clock generation. See sections on Line-Locked
Operations and VRAM shift clock generation for details.

Output Description

DATA VALID
The differential output drivers, CLK+ and CLK, are currentmode and are designed to drive resistive terminations in a
complementary fashion. The outputs are current-sinking only,
with the amount of sink current programmable via the IPRG
pin. The sink current, which is steered to either CLK+or CLK-,
is four times the current supplied to the IPRG pin. For most
applications, a resistor from VDDO to IPRG will set the current
to the necessary precision. Additionally, minor adjustment to
the duty factor can be achieved under register control.
Figure 2
Digital Inputs - ICS1562B-201 Option
The programming of the ICS1562B-201 is performed serially
by using the DATCLK, DATA, and HOLD~pins to load an
internal shift register.
The LOAD output is a high-current CMOS type drive whose
frequency is controlled by a programmable divider that may be
selected for a modulus of 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 or 20. It may
also be suppressed under register control. The load output may
be programmed to output the VCO frequency divided by 2 (see
AUX_N1 description in Register Mapping section), independent of the differential output and N1 divider modulus.
DATA is shifted into the register on the rising edge of
DATCLK. The logic value on the HOLD~pin is latched at the
same time. When HOLD~ is low, the shift register may be
loaded without disturbing the operation of the ICS1562B.
When high, the shift register outputs are transferred to the
control registers, and the new programming information becomes active. Ordinarily, a high level should be placed on the
HOLD~ pin when the last data bit is presented. See Figure 3
for the programming sequence.
The LD/N2 output is high-current CMOS type drive whose
frequency is derived from the LOAD output. The programmable modulus may range from 1 to 512 in steps of one.

ICS1562B
If an external reference frequency source is to be used with the
ICS1562B. it is important that it be jitter-free. The rising and
falling edges of that signal should be fast and free of noise for
best results.
Pipeline Delay Reset Function
The ICS1562B implements the clocking sequence required to
reset the pipeline delay on Brooktree RAMDACs when the
LOAD output is programmed for a modulus of either 3, 4, 5,
6, 8 or 10. This sequence can be generated by setting the
appropriate register bit (DACRST) to a logic 1 and then resetting to logic 0.
The loop phase is locked to the falling edges of the XTAL1
input signals if the REFPOL bit is set to logic 0.
When changing frequencies, it is advisable to allow 500 microseconds after the new frequency is selected to activate the
reset function. The output frequency of the synthesizer should
be stable enough at that point for the video DAC to correctly
execute its reset sequence. See Figure 4 for a diagram of the
pipeline delay reset sequence.
Internal Feedback
The ICS1562B supports LOAD (N1) and N2 divider
chains to act as the feedback divider for the PLL.
The N1 and N2 divider chains allow a much larger modulus to
be achieved than the PLL’s own feedback divider. Additionally,
the output of the N2 counter is accessible off-chip for performing horizontal reset of the graphics system, where necessary.
This mode is set under register control (ALTLOOP bit). The
reference divider (R counter) will ordinarily be set to divide by
1 in this mode, and the reference input will be supplied to
the XTAL1 input. The output frequency of the synthesizer
will then be:

By using the phase-detector hardware disable mode, the PLL
can be made to free-run at the beginning of the vertical interval
of the external video, and can be reactivated at its completion.
Reference Oscillator and Crystal
Selection
ICS1562B-001 The ICS1562B-001 supports phase detector
disable via a special control mode. When the
PDRSTEN (phase detector reset enable) bit is
set and the last address latched is 15 (0Fh), a
high level on AD3 will disable PLL locking.
The ICS1562B has circuitry on-board to implement a Pierce
oscillator with the addition of only one external component, a
quartz crystal. Pierce oscillators operate the crystal in anti(also called parallel-) resonant mode. See the AC Characteristics for the effective capacitive loading to specify when
ordering crystals.
ICS1562B-201 The ICS1562B-201 supports phase detector
disable via the BLANK pin. When the
PDRSTEN bit is set, a high level on the
BLANK input will disable PLL locking.
Series-resonant crystals may also be used with the ICS1562B.
Be aware that the oscillation frequency will be slightly higher
than the frequency that is stamped on the can (typically 0.0250.05%).
As the entire operation of the phase-locked loop depends on
having a stable reference frequency, we recommend that the
crystal be mounted as closely as possible to the package. Avoid
routing digital signals or the ICS1562B outputs underneath or
near these traces. It is also desirable to ground the crystal can
to the ground plane, if possible.

ICS1562B
External Feedback Operation
Power-On Initialization
The ICS1562B-201 option also supports the inclusion of an
external counter as the feedback divider of the PLL. This mode
is useful in graphic systems that must be “genlocked” to
external video sources.
The ICS1562B has an internal power-on reset circuit that
performs the following functions:
1) Sets the multiplexer to pass the reference frequency
to the CLK+ and CLK- outputs.
When the EXTFBEN bit is set to logic 1, the phase-frequency
detector will use the EXTFBK pin as its feedback input. The
loop phase will be locked to the rising edges of the signal applied
to the EXTFBK input if the FBKPOL bit is set to logic 0.
2) Selects the modulus of the N1 divider (for the
LOAD clock) to be four.
These functions should allow initialization of most graphics
systems that cannot immediately provide for register programming upon system power-up.
VRAM Shift Clock Generation
The ICS1562B-201 option supports VRAM shift clock generation and interruption. By programming the N2 counter to
divide by 1, the LD/N2 output becomes a duplicate of the
LOAD output. When the SCEN bit is set, the LD/N2 output
may be synchronously started and stopped via the blank pin.
When BLANK is high, the LD/N2 will be free-running and in
phase with LOAD. When BLANK is taken low, the LD/N2
output is stopped at a low level. See Figure 5 for a diagram of
the sequence. Note that this use of the BLANK pin precludes its
use for phase comparator disable (see Line-Locked Operation).
Because the power-on reset circuit is on the VDD supply, and
because that supply is filtered, care must be taken to allow the
reset to de-assert before programming. A safe guideline is to
allow 20 microseconds after the VDD supply reaches 4 volts.

VCO Frequency Range: Use the post-divider to keep the
VCO frequency as high as possible within its operating
range.
Divider Range: For best results in normal situations (i.e,
pixel clock generation for hi-res displays), keep the reference divider modulus as short as possible (for a frequency
at the output of the reference divider in the few hundred
kHz to several MHz range). If you need to go to a lower
phase comparator reference frequency (usually required
for increased frequency accuracy), that is acceptable, but
jitter performance will suffer somewhat.
VCO Gain Programming: Use the minimum gain which
can reliably achieve the VCO frequency desired, as shown
on the following page:

*
The ICS1562B has two VSS pins to reduce the effects of
package inductance. Both pins are connected to the same
potential on the die (the ground bus). BOTH of these pins
should connect to the ground plane of the video board as close
to the package as is possible.
*SPECIAL APPLICATION. Contact factory for custom product above
260 MHz.
•
The ICS1562B has a VDDO pin which is the supply of +5 volt
power to all output drivers. This pin should be connected to the
power plane (or bus) using standard high-frequency decoupling practice. That is, capacitors should have low series inductance and be mounted close to the ICS1562B.
Phase Detector Gain: For most graphics applications and
divider ranges, set P[1, 0] = 10 and set P[2] = 1. Under
some circumstances, setting the P[2] bit “on” can reduce
jitter. During 1562 operation at exact multiples of the
crystal frequency, P[2] bit = 0 may provide the best jitter
performance.
The VDD pin is the power supply pin for the PLL synthesizer
circuitry and other lower current digital functions. We recommend that RC decoupling or zener regulation be provided for
this pin (as shown in the recommended application circuitry).
This will allow the PLL to “track” through power supply
fluctuations without visible effects. See Figure 6 for typical
external circuitry.
Board Test Support
It is often desirable to statically control the levels of the output
pins for circuit board test. The ICS1562B supports this through
a register programmable mode, AUXEN. When this mode is
set, two register bits directly control the logic levels of the
CLK+/CLK- pins and the LOAD pin. This mode is activated
when the S[0] and S[1] bits are both set to logic 1. See Register
Mapping for details.

kept high and the CLK- output is kept low. (All other device functions are
unaffected.) When returned to zero, the CLK+ and CLK- outputs will
resume toggling on a rising edge of the LD output (+/−1 CLK period).
To initiate a RAMDAC reset sequence, simply write a one to this register
bit followed by a zero.
8
SELXTAL
When set to logic 1, passes the reference frequency to the post-scaler.
9
ALTLOOP
Controls substitution of N1 and N2 dividers into feedback loop of PLL.
When this bit is a logic 1, the N1 and N2 dividers are used.
10
SCEN
VRAM shift clock enable bit. When logic 1, the BLANK pin can be used
to disable the LD/N2 output.
11
EXTFBKEN
External PLL feedback select. When logic 1, the EXTFBK pin is used for
the phase-frequency detector feedback input.
12
PDRSTEN
Phase detector reset enable control bit. When this bit is set, a high level
on the BLANK input will disable PLL locking. See "Internal Feedback
Operation" section for more details on the operation of this function.

DESCRIPTION
0
0 Post-scaler=1. F(CLK)=F(PLL). The output of the N1 divider
drives the LOAD output which, in turn, drives the N2 divider.
0
1 Post-scaler=2. F(CLK)=F(PLL)/2. The output of the N1 divider
drives the LOAD output which, in turn, drives the N2 divider.
1
0 Post-scaler=4. F(CLK)=F(PLL)/4. The output of the N1 divder
drives the LOAD output which, in turn, drives the N2 divider.
1
1 AUXEN CLOCK MODE. The AUXCLK bit drives the differential
outputs CLK+ and CLK- and the AUXN1 bit drives the LOAD
output which, in turn, drives the N2 divider.
15
AUX_CLK
When in the AUXEN clock mode, this bit controls the differential outputs.
16
AUX_N1
When in the AUXEN clock mode, this bit controls the N1 output (and
consequently the N2 output according to its programming). When not in
the AUXEN clock mode, this bit, if set to one, will override the N1 divider
modulus and output the VCO frequency divided by two [F(PLL)/2] at the
LOAD output.

Notes:
To use this table, find the desired modulus in the table. Follow the column up to find the A divider programming values.
Follow the row to the left to find the M divider programming. Some feedback divisors can be achieved with two or three
combinations of divider settings. Any are acceptable for use.
The formula for the effective feedback modulus is:
N =[(M +1) . 6] +A
except when A=0, then:
N=(M +1) . 7
Under all circumstances:

Note 1: Use of the post-divider is required for frequencies lower than 40 MHz on CLK+ & CLK- outputs. Use of the post-divider
is recommended for output frequencies lower than 65 MHz.
Note 2: Using load circuit of Figure 6. Duty cycle measured at zero crossings of difference voltage between CLK+ and CLK-.
Note 3: Cumulative jitter is defined as the maximum error (in the domain) if any CLK edge, at any point in time, compared with
the equivalent edge generated by an ideal frequency source.
ICS laboratory testing indicates that the typical value shown above can be treated as a maximum jitter specification in
virtually all applications. Jitter performance can depend somewhat on circuit board layout, decoupling, and register
programming.

ICS1562B Application Information
Output Circuit Considerations for the ICS1562B
Stripline is the other form a PCB transmission line can take. A
buried trace between ground planes (or between a power plane
and a ground plane) is common in multi-layer boards.
Attempting to create a workstation design without the use of
multi-layer boards would be adventurous to say the least, the
issue would more likely be whether to place the interconnect
on the surface or between layers. The between layer approach
would work better from an EMI standpoint, but would be more
difficult to lay out. A stripline is shown below:
Output Circuitry
The dot clock signals CLK and CLK- are typically the highest
frequency signals present in the workstation. To minimize
problems with EMI, crosstalk, and capacitive loading extra
care should be taken in laying out this area of the PC board.
The ICS1562B is packaged in a 0.2”-wide 16-pin SOIC package. This permits the clock generator, crystal, and related
components to be laid out in an area the size of a postage stamp.
The ICS1562B should be placed as close as possible to the
RAMDAC. The CLK and CLK- pins are running at VHF
frequencies; one should minimize the length of PCB trace
connecting them to the RAMDAC so that they don’t become
radiators of RF energy.
At the frequencies that the ICS1562B is capable of, PC board
traces may be long enough to be a significant portion of a
wavelength of that frequency. PC traces for CLK and CLKshould be treated as transmission lines, not just interconnecting
wires. These lines can take two forms: microstrip and stripline.
A microstrip line is shown below:
Using 1 oz. copper (0.0015” thick) and 0.040” thickness G10,
a 0.010” trace will exhibit a characteristic impedance of 75Ω
in a stripline configuration.
Typically, RAMDACs require a Vih of VAA-1.0 Volts as a
guaranteed logical “1” and a Vil of VAA-1.6 as a guaranteed
logical “0.” Worst case input capacitance is 10 pF.
Output circuitry for the ICS1562B is shown in the following
diagram. It consists of a 4/1 current mirror, and two open drain
output FETs along with inverting buffers to alternately enable
each current-sinking driver. Both CLK and CLK- outputs are
connected to the respective CLOCK and CLOCK inputs of the
RAMDAC with transmission lines and terminated in their
equivalent impedances by the Thevenin equivalent impedances
of R1 and R2 or R1’ and R2’.
Essentially, the microstrip is a copper trace on a PCB over a
ground plane. Typically, the dielectric is G10 glass epoxy. It
differs from a standard PCB trace in that its width is calculated
to have a characteristic impedance. To calculate the characteristic impedance of a microstrip line one must know the width
and thickness of the trace, and the thickness and dielectric
constant of the dielectric. For G10 glass epoxy, the dielectric
constant (er) is about 5. Propagation delay is strictly a function
of dielectric constant. For G10 propagation, delay is calculated
to be 1.77 ns/ft.

ICS1562B Application Information
Cb is shown as multiple capacitors. Typically, a 22 µf tantalum
should be used with separate .1 µF and 220pf capacitors placed
as close to the pins as possible. This provides low series
inductance capacitors right at the source of high frequency
energy. Rd is used to isolate the circuitry from external
sources of noise. Five to ten ohms should be adequate.
The ICS1562B is incapable of sourcing current, so Vih must
be set by the ratios of these resistors for each of these lines. R1
and R2 are electrically in parallel from an AC standpoint
because Vdd is bypassed to ground through bypass-capacitor
network Cb. If we picked a target impedance of 75Ω for our
transmission line impedance, a value of 91Ω for R1 and R1’
and a value of 430Ω for R2 and R2’ would yield a Thevinin
equivalent characteristic impedance of 75.1Ω and a Vih value
of VAA-.873 Volts, a margin of 0.127 Volts. This may be
adequate; however, at higher frequencies one must contend
with the 10 pF input capacitance of the RAMDAC. Values of
82Ω for R1 and R1’ and 820Ω for R2 and R2’ would give us a
characteristic impedance of 74.5Ω and a Vih value of VAA-.45.
With a .55 Volt margin on Vih, this voltage level might be safer.
To set a value for Vil, we must determine a value for Iprg that
will cause the output FET’s to sink an appropriate current. We
desire Vil to be VAA-1.6 or greater. VAA-2 would seem to be a
safe value. Setting up a sink current of 25 milliamperes would
guarantee this through our 82Ω pull-up resistors. As this is
controlled by a 4/1 current mirror, 7 mA into Iprg should set this
current properly. A 510Ω resistor from Vdd to Iprg should work
fine.
ICS1562B Output Circuitry
Resistors Rt and Rt’ are shown as series terminating resistors
at the ICS1562B end of the transmission lines. These are not
required for operation, but may be useful for meeting EMI
requirements. Their intent is to interact with the input capacitance of the RAMDAC and the distributed capacitance of the
transmission line to soften up rise and fall times and consequently cut some of the high-order harmonic content that is
more likely to radiate RF energy. In actual usage they would
most likely be 10 to 20Ω resistors or possibly ferrite beads.
Great care must be used when evaluating high frequency
circuits to achieve meaningful results. The 10 pF input capacitance and long ground lead of an ordinary scope probe will
make any measurements made with it meaningless. A low
capacitance FET probe with a ground connection directly
connected to the shield at the tip will be required. A 1GHz
bandwidth scope will be barely adequate, try to find a faster
unit.
