ICS ICS290

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
ICS290
Triple PLL Field Prog. Spread Spectrum Clock Synthesizer
Description
Features
The ICS290 field programmable spread spectrum
clock synthesizer generates up to eight high-quality,
high-frequency clock outputs including multiple
reference clocks from a low-frequency crystal input. It
is designed to replace crystals, crystal oscillators and
stand alone spread spectrum devices in most
electronic systems.
Using ICS’ VersaClockTM software to configure PLLs
and outputs, the ICS290 contains a One-Time
Programmable (OTP) ROM for field programmability.
Programming features include input/output
frequencies, spread spectrum amount, eight selectable
configuration registers and up to two sets of four
low-skew outputs.

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
ICS290
Triple PLL Field Prog. Spread Spectrum Clock Synthesizer
External Components
set within the range of M = 1 to 1024 and N = 1 to
32,895.
The ICS290 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
The ICS290 also provides separate output divide
values, from 2 through 63, to allow the two output clock
banks to support widely differing frequency values from
the same PLL.
Series Termination Resistor
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
As with any high-performance mixed-signal IC, the
ICS290 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. For
optimum device performance, the decoupling capacitor
should be mounted on the component side of the PCB.
Avoid the use of vias on the decoupling circuit.
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.
ICS290 Configuration Capabilities
The architecture of the ICS290 allows the user to easily
configure the device to a wide range of output
frequencies, for a given input reference frequency.
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
OutputFreq
=
REFFreq
----⋅M
N
Output Drive Control
The ICS290 has two output drive settings. Low drive
should be selected when outputs are less than 100
MHz. High drive should be selected when outputs are
greater than 100 MHz. (Consult the AC Electrical
Characteristics for output rise and fall times for each
drive option.)
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 ICS290 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
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

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
ICS290
Triple PLL Field Prog. Spread Spectrum Clock Synthesizer
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.
The ICS290 operates in both center spread and down
spread modes. For center spread, the frequency can
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.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS290. 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.
