Description
The ICS615 is a low cost, low jitter, high
performance PLL clock synthesizer designed to
replace 13.5, 27, and 54MHz crystals and
oscillators. Using analog/digital Phase-Locked
Loop (PLL) techniques, the device uses an
inexpensive external 13.5 MHz crystal or clock
input to produce output clocks of 13.5 MHz,
27 MHz, and 54 MHz .
ICS/MicroClock manufactures the largest variety
of Set-Top Box and multimedia clock synthesizers
for all applications. Our patented integrated
VCXO further reduces component count and cost
(see the MK2720). If more than three clock
outputs are needed, see the MK277x family of
parts. Consult ICS/MicroClock to eliminate
VCXOs, PLLs, crystals and oscillators from your
board.
