Description
The ICS670-03 is a high speed, low phase noise, Zero
Delay Buffer (ZDB) which integrates ICS’ proprietary
analog/digital Phase Locked Loop (PLL) techniques. It
is identical to the ICS670-01, but with an increased
maximum output frequency of 210 MHz. Part of ICS’
ClockBlocks
TM
family, the part’s zero delay feature
means that the rising edge of the input clock aligns with
the rising edges of the outputs giving the appearance of
no delay through the device. There are two identical
outputs on the chip. The FBCLK should be used to
connect to the FBIN. Each output has its own output
enable pin.
The ICS670-03 is ideal for synchronizing outputs in a
large variety of systems, from personal computers to
data communications to video. By allowing off-chip
feedback paths, the ICS670-03 can eliminate the delay
through other devices. The 15 different on-chip
multipliers work in a variety of applications. For other
multipliers, including functional multipliers, see the
ICS527.

External Components
The ICS670-03 requires a minimum number of external components for proper operation. Decoupling
capacitors of 0.01mF should be connected between VDD (pins 1, 2, and 3) and GND (pins 14, 15, and 16),
as close to the device as possible. A series termination resistor of 33Ω may be used to each clock output
pin to reduce reflections.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS670-03. 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.

Adjusting Input/Output Skew
The data in Figure 1 can be used to adjust individual circuit characteristics and achieve the minimum
possible skew between ICLK and CLK2. With a 125 MHz output, for example, having a total load
capacitance of 15 pF will result in nearly zero skew between ICLK and CLK2. Note that the load
capacitance includes board trace capacitance, input capacitance of the load being driven by the
ICS670-03, and any additional capacitors connected to CLK2.
