Description
The ICS181-02 generates a low EMI output clock from
a clock or crystal input. The device uses ICS’
proprietary mix of analog and digital Phase-Locked
Loop (PLL) technology to spread the frequency
spectrum of the output, thereby reducing the frequency
amplitude peaks by several dB.
The ICS181-02 offers down spread selection of -1.25%
and -3.75%. Refer to the MK1714-01/02 for the widest
selection of input frequencies and multipliers.
ICS offers a complete line of EMI reducing clock
generators. Consult us when you need to remove
crystals and oscillators from your board.

External Components
The ICS181-02 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between VDD and GND on pins 6 and 3, as close to
these pins as possible. For optimum device
performance, the decoupling capacitor should be
mounted on the component side of the PCB. Avoid the
use of vias in the decoupling circuit.
Series Termination Resistor
When the PCB trace between the clock output and the
load is over 1 inch, series termination should be used.
To series terminate a 50 trace (a commonly used
trace impedance) place a 33 resistor in series with
the clock line, as close to the clock output pin as
possible. The nominal impedance of the clock output is
20.
value of these capacitors is given by the following
equation:
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output
phase noise, the following guidelines should be
observed.
1) The 0.01µF decoupling capacitor should be mounted
on the component side of the board as close to the
VDD pin as possible. No vias should be used between
the decoupling capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB trace
to VDD pin should be kept as short as possible, as
should the PCB trace to the ground via.
2) To minimize EMI, the 33 series termination resistor
(if needed) should be placed close to the clock output.
3) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other
signal layers. Other signal traces should be routed
away from the ICS181-02. This includes signal traces
just underneath the device, or on layers adjacent to the
ground plane layer used by the device.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS181-02. 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.
