ICS660GIT

Video Processing Overview

The ICS660GIT is a digital video clock source synthesizer designed for generating and converting clock rates required in MPEG, NTSC, PAL, and HDTV equipment. It utilizes advanced PLL technology to deliver low phase noise and jitter performance. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V and supports crystal or external clock inputs. It provides selectable output frequencies via hardware pins and includes power-down control capabilities.

Video Processing Feature Summary

• Provides clock generation and conversion for standard digital video formats including MPEG, NTSC, PAL, and HDTV.
• Features low phase noise and low jitter performance for superior synchronization and signal-to-noise ratio.
• Supports exact zero ppm multiplication ratios for precise frequency synthesis.
• Includes power-down control functionality to reduce power consumption.

Video Processing Applications

• Clock generation for MPEG video processing systems
• Timing solutions for NTSC and PAL broadcast equipment
• Clock distribution for High Definition Television (HDTV) devices

Video Processing Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging type. The 'GIT' suffix indicates tape and reel shipping configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as non-green parts have reached end-of-life. Ensure the selected variant matches the required temperature range and package dimensions for your PCB layout.

Video Processing Selection Notes

Select this component when designing digital video equipment requiring precise clock synthesis for MPEG, NTSC, PAL, or HDTV standards. Consider the ICS661 if audio sampling clocks derived from 27 MHz are needed instead. Evaluate the need for reference clock outputs and power-down features based on system architecture requirements.

Video Processing Part Context

The ICS660GIT belongs to the IDT/ICS digital video clock source family. It is packaged in a 16-pin TSSOP with a 0.65 mm pitch. The device integrates a crystal oscillator and PLL clock synthesis circuitry into a single chip, simplifying design for high-performance video applications.

Video Processing Replacement Considerations

Check for ICS660GILFT which shares the same electrical specifications but uses lead-free packaging. Verify compatibility with existing board layouts as pin assignments remain consistent across the series variants.

Video Processing FAQ

What input options does the ICS660 support?

The device accepts either an external clock input at the X1/REFIN pin or an external crystal connected between X1 and X2 pins.

How is the output frequency determined?

Output frequency selection is controlled by four hardware input pins: S0, S1, S2, and S3. Specific combinations select predefined output frequencies or pass-through modes.
