ICS525-04

Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS525-04. 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

The ICS525-04 OSCaR^TM is the most flexible way to generate a high quality, high frequency differential PECL clock output from a crystal or CMOS clock input.

The name OSCaRTM stands for Oscillator Replacement, as it is designed to replace crystal oscillators in almost any electronic system. Users can easily 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 techniques, the device accepts a crystal or clock to produce output clocks up to 156 MHz at 3.3V, keeping them frequency locked together.

For simple multipliers to produce common frequencies, refer to the LOCOTM family of parts, which are smaller and more cost effective.

This product of the ICS525-04 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 ICS527-02.
