LVCMOS/LVTTL CLOCK GENERATOR
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ICS840021 is a Gigabit Ethernet Clock
Generator and a member of the HiPerClocksTM
family of high performance devices from ICS. The
ICS840021 uses a 25MHz crystal to synthesize
125MHz. The ICS840021 has excellent phase jitter
performance, over the 1.875MHz – 20MHz integration range.
The ICS840021 is packaged in a small 8-pin TSSOP, making it
ideal for use in systems with limited board space.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Figure 2. CRYSTAL INPUt INTERFACE
CRYSTAL INPUT INTERFACE
The ICS840021 has been characterized with 18pF parallel
resonant crystals. The capacitor values, C1 and C2, shown in
Figure 2
below were determined using a 25MHz, 18pF parallel
resonant crystal and were chosen to minimize the ppm error.
The optimum C1 and C2 values can be slightly adjusted for
different board layouts.
As in any high speed analog circuitry, the power supply pins are
vulnerable to random noise. The ICS840021 provides separate
power supplies to isolate any high switching noise from the out-
puts to the internal PLL. VDD and VDDA should be individually con-
nected to the power supply plane through vias, and bypass ca-
pacitors should be used for each pin. To achieve optimum
jitter performance, power supply isolation is required.
Figure 1
illustrates how a 10Ω resistor along with a 10µF and a .01µF
bypass capacitor should be connected to each VDDA pin.

APPLICATION SCHEMATIC
Figure 3A
shows a schematic example of the ICS840021. An
example of LVCMOS termination is shown in this schematic.
Additional LVCMOS termination approaches are shown in the
LVCMOS Termination Application Note. In this example, an 18pF
parallel resonant 25MHz crystal is used for generating 125MHz
output frequency. The C1 = 27pF and C2 = 33pF are recom-
mended for frequency accuracy. For different board layout, the
C1 and C2 values may be slightly adjusted for optimizing fre-
quency accuracy.
FIGURE 3A. ICS840021 SCHEMATIC EXAMPLE
FIGURE 3B. ICS840021 PC BOARD LAYOUT EXAMPLE
PC BOARD LAYOUT EXAMPLE
Figure 3B
shows an example of ICS840021 P.C. board layout.
The crystal X1 footprint shown in this example allows installa-
tion of either surface mount HC49S or through-hole HC49 pack-
age. The footprints of other components in this example are listed
in the
Table 7.
There should be at least one decoupling capacitor
per power pin. The decoupling capacitors should be located as
close as possible to the power pins. The layout assumes that
the board has clean analog power ground plane.
