GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ICS8432-51 is a general purpose, dual output Crystal-to3.3V Differential LVPECL High Frequency Synthesizer. The

ICS8432-51 has a selectable REF_CLK or crystal input. The

VCO operates at a frequency range of 250MHz to 700MHz. The

VCO frequency is programmed in steps equal to the value of

the input reference or crystal frequency. The VCO and output

frequency can be programmed using the serial or parallel interface to the configuration logic. The low phase noise characteristics of the ICS8432-51 make it an ideal clock source for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel 1 and 2, and Infiniband applications.
