HiPerClockS鈩?/div>
a member of the HiPerClockS鈩?family of High
Performance Clock Solutions from ICS. The VCO
operates at a frequency range of 190MHz to
510MHz providing an output frequency range of 95MHz to
255MHz. The output frequency can be programmed using the
parallel interface, M0 thru M8, to the configuration logic.
Spread spectrum clocking is programmed via the control
inputs SSC_CTL0 and SSC_CTL1.

Programmable features of the ICS8431-11 support four
operational modes. The four modes are spread spectrum
clocking (SSC), non-spread spectrum clock and two test
modes which are controlled by the SSC_CTL[1:0] pins. Un-
like other synthesizers, the ICS8431-11 can immediately
change spread-spectrum operation without having to reset
the device.
In SSC mode, the output clock is modulated in order to
achieve a reduction in EMI. In one of the PLL bypass test
modes, the PLL is disconnected as the source to the
differential output allowing an external source to be
connnected to the TEST_I/O pin. This is useful for in-
circuit testing and allows the differential output to be driven
at a lower frequency throughout the system clock tree. In the
other PLL bypass mode, the oscillator divider is used as the
source to both the M and the Fout divide by 2. This is useful
for characterizing the oscillator and internal dividers.
