GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ICS844246 is a Crystal-to-LVDS Clock Synthesizer/Fanout Buffer designed for Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet applications and is a member of the HiperClockS™ family of High Performance Clock Solutions from ICS. The output frequency can be set using the frequency select pins and a 25MHz crystal for Ethernet frequencies, or a 26.5625MHz crystal for a Fibre Channel. The low phase noise characteristics of the ICS844246 make it an ideal clock for these demanding applications.
