DATASHEET
LOW PHASE NOISE ZERO DELAY BUFFER AND MULTIPLIER
Description
The ICS670-03 is a high speed, low phase noise, Zero
Delay Buffer (ZDB) which integrates IDT’s 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 IDT’s 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 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.

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.
