DIFFERENTIAL-TO-HSTL ZERO DELAY
CLOCK GENERATOR
ICS8725-21
Not Recommend for New Designs - 10/23/2013
For replacement device use ICS8725BY-01LF
General Description
NRND
Features
The ICS8725-21 is a highly versatile 1:1 Differential- to-HSTL
Clock Generator and a member of the HiPerClockS™ family of
High Performance Clock Solutions from IDT. The CLK, nCLK pair
can accept most standard differential input levels. The
ICS8725-21 has a fully integrated PLL and can be configured as
zero delay buffer, multiplier or divider, and has an output frequency
range of 31.25MHz to 630MHz. The reference divider, feedback
divider and output divider are each programmable, thereby
allowing for the following output-to-input frequency ratios: 8:1, 4:1,
2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8. The external feedback allows the device to
achieve “zero delay” between the input clock and the output
clocks. The PLL_SEL pin can be used to bypass the PLL for
system test and debug purposes. In bypass mode, the reference
clock is routed around the PLL and into the internal output
dividers.
