ICS is pleased to announce the release of a family of Frequency Synthesizers with integrated Fanout Buffers. These exciting new devices are designed specifically for storage, networking, and telecom markets. The PLL performance reaches a new pinnacle, meeting the system phase noise requirements of the intended applications. The integrated fan-out buffer serves applications that include multiple communications interfaces all requiring the same reference clock frequency, such as is common in SAN applications.

Designed to replace a crystal oscillator and buffer combination with a single package the family is currently comprised of seven products, all of which have six fanout buffers and come in a very small 24-pin, 300-MIL SOIC package. The major product differentiator among the family members is their output frequencies (ranging from 53.125 to 625MHz) and thus the applications they serve.

Like other frequency generator products from ICS, each part in this family requires only a low cost twin-lead crystal as an external low frequency (<27Mhz) reference input. Each device produces an application specific set of frequencies via external select pins. The broad frequency range, exceptional performance, and wide selection of output signal types make these devices a cost-effective and ideal solution for applications with stringent timing requirements.

Features:
	Re-configurable output frequencies
	6 output fanout buffer
	3.3V supply voltage
	stable operation in 0 to 70°C ambient temperature range
Benefits:
	Integrated functionality to simplify board layout and reduce board size
	Fewer devices to improve systems reliability
	Lower part count to ease inventory management
	High performance, low skew buffers to improve timing margins
