User Configurable Clock
Description
The ICS525-01/02 are the most flexible way to
generate a high-quality, high-accuracy, high-frequency
clock output from an inexpensive crystal or clock input.
The name OSCaR stands for OSCillator Replacement,
as they are designed to replace crystal oscillators in
almost any electronic system. The user can configure
the device to produce nearly any output frequency from
any input frequency by grounding or floating the select
pins. Neither microcontroller, software, nor device
programmer are needed to set the frequency. Using
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the device
accepts a standard fundamental mode, inexpensive
crystal to produce output clocks up to 250 MHz. It can
also produce a highly accurate output clock from a
given input clock, keeping them frequency locked
together.
For similar capability with a serial interface, use the
ICS307. For simple multipliers to produce common
frequencies, refer to the LOCO
TM
family of parts, which
are smaller and more cost effective.
This product is intended for clock generation. It has low
output jitter (variation in the output period), but input to
output skew and jitter are not defined nor guaranteed.
For applications which require defined input to output
timing, use the ICS527-01.

External Components/Crystal
Selection
Decoupling Capacitors
The ICS525-01/02 requries two 0.01µF decoupling
capacitors to be connected between VDD and GND,
one on each side of the chip. The capacitor must be
connected close to the device to minimize lead
inductance. No external power supply filtering is
required for this device.
ICS525-01 Settings
The output of the ICS525-01 can be determined by the
following simple equation:
-
CLK
Frequency = Input Frequency
×
2x
--------------------------------------------
(
VDW + 8
)
(
RDW + 2
) •
OD
Where:
Reference Divider Word (RDW) = 1 to 127 (0 not
permitted)
VCO Divider Word (VDW) = 4 to 511 (0, 1, 2, 3 not
permitted)
Output Divider (OD) = values on page 3
Also, the following operating ranges should be
observed:
(
VDW + 8
)
-
10M < Input Frequency
x2x
------------------------------ < 200M
(
3.3

)or
320
M
(

) )
(
RDW + 2
)
InputFrequency
200kHz < ----------------------------------------------
-
(
RDW + 2
)
External Resistors
A 33Ω series terminating resistor can be used next to
the CLK and REF pins.
Crystal Load Capacitors
The approximate total on-chip capacitance for a crystal
is 16 pF, so a parallel resonant, fundamental mode
crystal with this value of load (correlation) capacitance
should be used. For crystals with a specified load
capacitance greater than 16 pF, crystal capacitors may
be connected from each of the pins X1 and X2 to
Ground as shown in the block diagram. The value (in
pF) of these crystal caps should be (CL -16)*2, where
CL is the crystal load capacitance in pF. These external
capacitors are only required for applications where the
exact frequency is critical. For a clock input, connect to
X1 and leave X2 unconnected (no capacitors on
either).
See table on page 3 for full details of maximum
output.
ICS525-02 Settings
The output of the ICS525-02 can be determined by the
following simple equation:
-
CLK
Frequency = Input Frequency
×
2x
--------------------------------------------
Determining the Output Frequency
Users have full control in setting the desired output
frequency over the range shown in the table on page 2.
To replace a standard oscillator, users should connect
the divider select input pins directly to ground (or VDD,
although this is not required because of internal
pull-ups) during Printed Circuit Board layout. The
ICS525-01/02 will automatically produce the correct
clock when all components are soldered. It is also
possible to connect the inputs to parallel I/O ports to
switch frequencies. By choosing divides carefully, the
number of inputs which need to be changed can be
minimized. Observe the restrictions on allowed values
of VDW and RDW.

User Configurable Clock
The dividers are expressed as integers. For example, if a 66.66 MHz output on CLK1 is desired from a
14.31818 MHz input, the VCO divider word (VDW) should be 276, with an output divide (OD) of 2. In this
example, R6:R0 is 0111011, V8:V0 is 100010100 and S2:S0 is 001. Since all of these inputs have pull-up
resistors, it is only necessary to ground the zero pins, namely V7, V6, V5, V3, V1, V0, R6, R2, S2, and S1.
To determine the best combination of VCO, reference, and output divide, use the ICS525 Calculator on our
web site: www.icst.com/products/ics525inputForm.html. The online form is easy to use and quickly shows
you up to three options for these settings. Alternately, you may send an e-mail to ics-mk@icst.com.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS525-01/02. 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.
