DATASHEET
LOW EMI CLOCK GENERATOR
Description
The ICS181-53 generates a low EMI output clock from
a clock or crystal input. The device uses IDT’s
proprietary mix of analog and digital Phase Locked
Loop (PLL) technology to spread the frequency
spectrum of the output, thereby reducing the frequency
amplitude peaks by several dB.
The ICS181-53 offers center spread selection of
+/-0.625% and +/-1.875%. Refer to the MK1714-01/02
for the widest selection of input frequencies and
multipliers.
IDT offers a complete line of EMI reducing clock
generators. Consult us when you need to remove
crystals and oscillators from your board.

External Components
The ICS181-53 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output
phase noise, the following guidelines should be
observed.
1) The 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 the
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) To minimize EMI, the 33Ω series termination resistor
(if needed) should be placed close to the clock output.
3) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other
signal layers. Other signal traces should be routed away
from the ICS181-53. This includes signal traces just
underneath the device, or on layers adjacent to the
ground plane layer used by the device.
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between VDD and GND on pins 6 and 3, as close to
these pins as possible. For optimum device
performance, the decoupling capacitor should be
mounted on the component side of the PCB. Avoid the
use of vias in the decoupling circuit.
Series Termination Resistor
When the PCB trace between the clock output and the
load is over 1 inch, series termination should be used.
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
.
value of these capacitors is given by the following
equation:
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS181-53. These ratings,
which are standard values for IDT 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.
