Device Operation
The ICS581-01 and ICS581-02 are very similar. Following is
a description of the operation of the ICS581-01 and the
differences of the ICS581-02.
either INA or INB (depending on SELA). Since FBIN is
connected to a clock output, this means that the outputs
appear to align with the input with zero delay.
The ICS581-01 is a PLL-based, zero delay, clock
multiplexer. The device consists of an input multiplexer
controlled by SELA that selects between two clock inputs.
The output of the mux drives the reference input of a phase
locked loop. The other input to the PLL comes from a
feedback input pin called FBIN. The output of the PLL drives
four low skew outputs. These chip outputs are therefore
buffered versions of the selected input clock with zero delay
and 50/50 duty cycle.
When the input select (SELA) is changed, the output clock
will change frequency and/or phase until it lines up with the
new input clock. This occurs in a smooth, gradual manner
without any short pulses or glitches and will typically take a
few tens of microseconds.
The part must be configured to operate in the correct
frequency range. The table on page two gives the
recommended range.
For correct operation, one of the clock outputs must be
connected to FBIN. In this datasheet, CLK4 is shown as the
feedback, but any one of the four clock outputs can be used.
If output termination resistors are used, the feedback should
be connected before the resistor. It is a property of the PLL
used on this chip that it will align rising edges on FBIN and
The four low skew outputs are controlled by two output
enable pins that allow either one, three, or four simultaneous
outputs. If both OE pins are low, the PLL is powered down.
Note that the clock driving the FBIN pin must not be
tri-stated unless the PLL is powered down. Otherwise the
