General Description

The ICS844256D is a Crystal-to-LVDS Clock Synthesizer/Fanout Buffer designed for SONET and Gigabit Ethernet applications. The output frequency can be set using the frequency select pins and a 25MHz crystal for Ethernet frequencies, or a 19.44MHz crystal for SONET. The low phase noise characteristics of the ICS844256D make it an ideal clock for these demanding applications.
