Shared Pin Operation -
Input/Output Pins
Pins 2, 7, 8, 25, and 26 on the ICS9250-13 serve as dual
signal functions to the device. During initial power-up, they
act as input pins. The logic level (voltage) that is present on
these pins at this time is read and stored into a 4-bit internal
data latch. At the end of Power-On reset, (see AC
characteristics for timing values), the device changes the
mode of operations for these pins to an output function. In
this mode the pins produce the specified buffered clocks to
external loads.
header may be used.
These figures illustrate the optimal PCB physical layout
options. These configuration resistors are of such a large
ohmic value that they do not effect the low impedance clock
signals. The layouts have been optimized to provide as little
impedance transition to the clock signal as possible, as it
passes through the programming resistor pad(s).
To program (load) the internal configuration register for these
pins, a resistor is connected to either the VDD (logic 1)
power supply or the GND (logic 0) voltage potential. A 10
Kilohm(10K) resistor is used to provide both the solid CMOS
programming voltage needed during the power-up
programming period and to provide an insignificant load on
the output clock during the subsequent operating period.
Figs. 1 and 2 show the recommended means of implementing
this function. In Fig. 1 either one of the resistors is loaded
onto the board (selective stuffing) to configure the device’s
internal logic. Figs. 2a and b provide a single resistor loading
option where either solder spot tabs or a physical jumper
