ICS556G-03IT

The ICS556G-03IT is a clock buffer, driver, and conditioning circuit that provides versatility and ease of use in a single integrated circuit. It is designed to drive digital and analog clock signals in a range of applications including industrial and consumer electronics, communications, entertainment and computer systems.

The ICS556G-03IT comprises of three distinct parts - a clock buffer, a driver circuit, and a conditioning circuit. The clock buffer is a low-noise, low-skew clock buffer that can drive multiple clock signals. It provides excellent noise immunity and can eliminate jitter-induced noise and reduces the skew caused by clock distribution. It accepts a wide range input clock frequency range and provides a low output-to-input frequency ratio for low power applications.

The driver circuit is used to drive power to external clock trees and provides voltage mode/current mode output capability. The driver circuit is designed to maintain performance integrity over variable temperature and supply voltage conditions in harsh industrial environments. The driver circuit is capable of driving higher loads, such as longer clock lines, with greater noise immunity, better power efficiency, and better propagation delay.

The conditioning circuit increases the accuracy and integrity of clock signals in noisy environments or long cable runs where distortion may occur. It balances impedance, minimizes jitter, and reduces ringing and noise without introducing new digital artifacts or significantly impacting system performance. By protecting the clock against digital noise, the conditioning circuit ensures that system timing is accurately maintained.

The ICS556G-03IT features an advanced 3-wire control interface that provides system engineers an unprecedented level of control to adjust clock output amplitude, slew rate and frequency. The device is packaged in small footprint TSSOP-16 surface mount packages that saves valuable PCB space and reduces bus routing. The circuit has low power consumption that enables use in battery-operated systems.

In conclusion, the ICS556G-03IT provides superiorClock/Timing performance in a highly integrated single package. With its advanced clock buffer, driver, and conditioning circuits, it is an ideal solution for applications that require accurate and reliable clock signal generation and conditioning. The device offers excellent power efficiency and superior noise immunity and eliminates the need for complex external circuitry for clock conditioning and high-performance power delivery.
