ICS8536-02 Data Sheet

1-TO-6, DUALCRYSTAL/LVCMOS-TO-3.3V, 2.5V LVPECL FANOUT BUFFER

Crystal Input Interface

The ICS8536-02 has been characterized with 18pF parallel resonant

crystals. The capacitor values shown in Figure 2 below were

determined using an 18pF parallel resonant crystal and were chosen

to minimize the ppm error.

Overdriving the XTAL Interface

The XTAL_IN input can accept a single-ended LVCMOS signal

through an AC coupling capacitor. A general interface diagram is

shown in Figure 3A. The XTAL_OUT pin can be left floating. The

maximum amplitude of the input signal should not exceed 2V and the

input edge rate can be as slow as 10ns. This configuration requires

that the output impedance of the driver (Ro) plus the series

resistance (Rs) equals the transmission line impedance. In addition,

matched termination at the crystal input will attenuate the signal in

half. This can be done in one of two ways. First, R1 and R2 in parallel

should equal the transmission line impedance. For most 50

Ω

applications, R1 and R2 can be 100

by removing R1 and making R2 50

oscillator, the device will be functional, but note, the device

performance is guaranteed by using a quartz crystal.
