DATASHEET
QUAD LVDS OSCILLATOR/BUFFER
Description
The ICS556-03 is a clock oscillator with quad LVDS
outputs. Using a standard 25 MHz crystal, no additional
external components are required to generate quad
LVDS outputs at 25 MHz.
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 nor guaranteed.

External Component Selection
The ICS556-03 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
Decoupling Capacitors
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF should be connected
between VDD and GND on pins 2 and 10 as close to the
ICS556-03 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.
The ICS556-03, a quad 25 MHz LVDS Clock utilizes an
external crystal to generate 4 pairs of low phase noise
outputs. The crystal 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
-12)x2
In the equation, CL is the crystal Load capacitance. So
for the crystal with 16pF load capacitance, two 8
pF[(16-12)x2] capacitors should be used.
LVDS Driver Termination
A general LVDS interface is shown in Figure 2. In a 100
ohm differential transmission line environment, LVDS
drivers require a matched load termination of 100
across near the receiver input. For a multiple LVDS
outputs buffer, if only partial outputs are used, it is
recommended to terminate the un-used outputs.
The external crystal must be connected as close to the
chip as possible and should be on the same side of the
PCB as the ICS556-03. There should be no via’s
between the crystal pins and the X1 and X2 device pins.
There should be no signal traces underneath or close to
the crystal.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the ICS556-03. 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.
