The ICS581-01 and ICS581-02 are glitch free,
Phase Locked Loop (PLL) based clock multiplexers
(mux) with zero delay from input to output. They
each have 4 low skew outputs which can be
configured as a single output, 3 outputs or 4
outputs. The ICS581-01 allows user control over
the mux switching. The ICS581-02 has automatic
switching between the 2 clock inputs.
The ICS581-01 and -02 are members of the ICS
Clock BlocksTM family of clock generation,
synchronization, and distribution devices. For a
non-PLL based clock mux, see the ICS580-01.

Device Operation
The ICS581-01 and ICS581-02 are very similar. The following describes the operation of the ICS581-01,
and then the differences of the ICS581-02 will be discussed.
The ICS581-01 is a PLL based, zero delay, clock multiplexer. The device consists of an input multiplexer
controlled by SELA that selects between 2 clock inputs. The output of the mux drives the reference input of
a phase-locked loop. The other input to the PLL comes from a feedback input pin called FBIN. The output
of the PLL drives 4 low skew outputs. These chip outputs are therefore buffered versions of the selected
input clock with zero delay and 50/50 duty cycle.
For correct operation, one of the clock outputs must be connected to FBIN. In this datasheet, CLK4 is
shown as the feedback, but any of the 4 clock outputs can be used. If output termination resistors are used,
the feedback should be connected after the resistor. It is a property of the PLL used on this chip that it will
align rising edges on FBIN and either INA or INB (depending on SELA). Since FBIN is connected to a
clock output, this means that the outputs appear to align with the input with zero delay.
When the input select (SELA) is changed, the output clock will change frequency and/or phase until it lines
up with the new input clock. This occurs in a smooth, gradual manner without any short pulses or glitches,
and will typically take a few tens of microseconds.
The part must be configured to operate in the correct frequency range. The Table on page 2 gives the
recommended range.
The 4 low skew outputs are controlled by 2 output enable pins that allow either 1, 3 or 4 simultaneous
outputs. If both OE pins are low, the PLL is powered down. Note that the clock driving the FBIN pin must
not be tri-stated unless the PLL is powered down, otherwise the PLL will run open loop.
The ICS581-02 is identical to the ICS581-01 except for the switching of the input mux. On the ICS581-
02, the switching is automatically controlled by a transition detector. The transition detector monitors the
clock on INA. If this clock stops, the output of the detector, NO_INA, goes high which then selects clock
input INB to the mux. The definition of the clock stopping is determined by a timeout selected by input
DIV. If DIV is low, NO_INA will go high after no transitions have occurred on INA for nominally 3 cycles
of the clock on INB. If DIV is high the timeout is nominally 48 cycles of INB. When INA restarts, the
mux immediately switches back to the INA selection with no timeout.
Input Clock Frequency
The ICS581-01 and 02 are designed to switch between 2 clocks of the same frequency. They will also
operate with different frequencies on each of the 2 input clocks. If the 2 input frequencies require different
input ranges, (table on page 2) then the highest range should be permanently selected. When the selected
input clock is outside this range, jitter and input skew specifications may not be met. Consult ICS for
more information.

A typical application for the ICS581-02 is to provide a backup clock for a system. The backup, reliable clock
would be connected to INB while the main clock would be connected to INA. If the main clock failed, the
backup clock would automatically be switched in. The following example shows the connection for this.

In this example, the clocks are 155 MHz and so the frequency range is address 11. Both S0 and S1 are left
unconnected and so the on-chip pull-ups give the required high inputs. Similarly for OE0, OE1 and DIV. In
this example, CLK4 is used as the feedback.
External Components
The ICS581-01 and -02 require two 0.01 F capacitors between VDD and GND, one on each side of the
chip. These must be close to the chip to minimize lead inductance. Series termination resistors of 33
can
be used on the outputs. These also should be close to the chip, with the feedback connection after the
resistor.

Note 1. Assumes clocks with same rise times, measured at VDD/2.
Note 2. Assumes identically loaded outputs with identical rise times, measured at VDD/2.
The maximum skew between any 2 clocks is 250 ps not 500 ps.
Note 3. Time taken for output to lock to new clock when mux selection changed from INA to INB.
Note 4 With 50 MHz on INA and 150 MHz on INB.
Note 5. With 100 MHz on both INA and INB, 180 out of phase.
Note 6. For correct operation, FBIN requires a rail to rail clock. At high frequencies, this may mean that the ICS581 output driving
FBIN cannot drive other loads.
