Description
The ICS501A LOCO
TM
is the most cost effective way to
generate a high quality, high frequency clock output
from a lower frequency crystal or clock input. The name
LOCO stands for Low Cost Oscillator, as it is designed
to replace crystal oscillators in most electronic
systems. Using Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) techniques,
the device uses a standard fundamental mode,
inexpensive crystal to produce output clocks up to 200
MHz.
Stored in the chip's ROM is the ability to generate nine
different multiplication factors, allowing one chip to
output many common frequencies (see table on page
2).
The device also has an output enable pin which
tri-states the clock output when the OE pin is taken low.
This product 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 or guaranteed.
For applications which require defined input to output
skew, use the ICS570B.

ICS501A
External Components
Decoupling Capacitor
As with any high-performance mixed-signal IC, the
ICS501A must be isolated from system power supply
noise to perform optimally.
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01F must be connected
between VDD and the GND. It must be connected
close to the ICS501A to minimize lead inductance. No
external power supply filtering is required for the
ICS501A.
Series Termination Resistor
A 33
terminating resistor can be used next to the CLK
pin for trace lengths over one inch.
Crystal Load Capacitors
The total on-chip capacitance is approximately 12 pF. A
parallel resonant, fundamental mode crystal should be
used. The device crystal connections should include
pads for small capacitors from X1 to ground and from
X2 to ground. These capacitors are used to adjust the
stray capacitance of the board to match the nominally
required crystal load capacitance. Because load
capacitance can only be increased in this trimming
process, it is important to keep stray capacitance to a
minimum by using very short PCB traces (and no vias)
between the crystal and device. Crystal capacitors, if
needed, must be connected from each of the pins X1
and X2 to ground.
The value (in pF) of these crystal caps should equal
(C
L
-12 pF)*2. In this equation, C
L
= crystal load
capacitance in pF. Example: For a crystal with a 16 pF
load capacitance, each crystal capacitor would be 8 pF
[(16-12) x 2] = 8.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS501A. 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.
