CRYSTAL INPUT INTERFACE
The ICS843204I has been characterized with 18pF parallel
resonant crystals. The capacitor values shown in Figure 2 below
were determined using an 18pF parallel resonant crystal and
were chosen to minimize the ppm error.

LVCMOS TO XTAL INTERFACE
The XTAL_IN input can accept a single-ended LVCMOS signal
through an AC coupling capacitor. A general interface diagram is
shown in Figure 3. The XTAL_OUT pin can be left floating. The
input edge rate can be as slow as 10ns. For LVCMOS signals, it
is recommended that the amplitude be reduced from full swing to
half swing in order to prevent signal interference with the power
rail and to reduce noise. This configuration requires that the output
impedance of the driver (Ro) plus the series resistance (Rs) equals
the transmission line impedance. In addition, matched termination
at the crystal input will attenuate the signal in half. This can be
done in one of two ways. First, R1 and R2 in parallel should equal
the transmission line impedance. For most 50Ω applications, R1
and R2 can be 100Ω. This can also be accomplished by removing
R1 and making R2 50Ω.
