FemtoClock™ Crystal-to-LVDS
Clock Generator
ICS844251-15
DATA SHEET
General Description
The ICS844251-15 is an Ethernet Clock Generator
and a member of the HiPerClocks
®
family of high
HiPerClockS™
performance devices from IDT. The ICS844251-15
uses an 18pF parallel resonant crystal over the range
of 23.2MHz - 30MHz. For Ethernet applications, a
25MHz crystal is used. The device has excellent <1ps phase jitter
performance, over the 1.875MHz - 20MHz integration range. The
ICS844251-15 is packaged in a small 8-pin TSSOP, making it ideal
for use in systems with limited board space.
