DATASHEET
SPREAD SPECTRUM CLOCK GENERATOR
Description
The ICS7152-01, -02, -11, and -12 are clock generators for
EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) reduction (see below
for frequency ranges and multiplier ratios). Spectral peaks
can be attenuated by slightly modulating the oscillation
frequency. Both down and center spread profiles are
selectable. Center spread maintains an average frequency
equal to an unspread clock. Down spread meets maximum
frequency specs over the entire modualtion cycle.

External Components
The ICS7152 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
Spread Spectrum Profile
The ICS7152 low EMI clock generator uses a triangular
frequency modulation profile for optimal down stream
tracking of zero delay buffers and other PLL devices. The
frequency modulation amplitude is constant with variations
of the input frequency.
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between GND and VDD on pin 6, as close to this pin as
possible. For optimum device performance, the decoupling
capacitor should be mounted on the component side of the
PCB. Avoid the use of vias in the decoupling circuit.
Modulation Rate
Series Termination Resistor
Series termination should be used on the clock output. To
series terminate a 50Ω trace (a commonly used trace
impedance) place a 27Ω resistor in series with the clock line,
as close to the clock output pin as possible. The nominal
impedance of the clock output is 25Ω
.
Frequency
Time
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output phase
noise, the following guidelines should be observed.
1) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other signal
layers. Other signal traces should be routed away from the
ICS7152. This includes signal traces just underneath the
device, or on layers adjacent to the ground plane layer used
by the device.
Crystal Information
The crystal used should be a fundamental mode, parallel
resonant. Crystal capacitors should be connected from pins
X1 to ground and X2 to ground to optimize the initial
accuracy. The value of these capacitors is given by the
following equation:
Crystal caps (pF) = (C
L
- 6) x 2
In the equation, C
L
is the crystal load capacitance. So, for a
crystal with a 16 pF load capacitance, two 20 pF [(16-6) x 2]
capacitors should be used.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS7152. These ratings, which are
standard values for IDT commercially rated parts, are stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods can affect product reliability. Electrical
parameters are guaranteed only over the recommended operating temperature range.
