REV C 102808
Description
The IDT5V40501 LOCOTM is the most cost effective way to
generate a high-quality, high-frequency clock output from a
lower frequency crystal or clock input. The name LOCO
stands for Low Cost Oscillator, as it is designed to replace
crystal oscillators in most electronic systems. Using
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the device uses a
standard fundamental mode, inexpensive crystal to
produce output clocks up to 160 MHz.
Stored in the chip’s ROM is the ability to generate nine
different multiplication factors, allowing one chip to output
many common frequencies (see table on page 2).
The device also has an output enable pin which tri-states
the clock output when the OE pin is taken low.
This product is intended for clock generation. It has low
output jitter (variation in the output period), but input to
output skew and jitter are not defined or guaranteed. For
applications which require defined input to output skew, use
the ICS570B.
The IDT5V40501 is an enhanced performance version of
the ICS501 and ICS501B and should be used for all new
designs.
