External Components
A minimum number of external components are required for proper operation. Decoupling capacitors of
0.01 µF should be connected between VDD on pin 2 and GND on pin 7,and between VDD on pin 15 and
GND on pin 10, as close to the device as possible. A 33 Ω series terminating resistor should be used on
each clock output if the trace is longer than 1 inch.
To achieve the low output skews that the ICS552-03 is capable of, careful attention must be paid to board
layout. Essentially, all 8 outputs must have identical terminations, identical loads, and identical trace
geometries. If they do not, the output skew will be degraded. For example, using a 30 Ω series termination
on one output (with 33Ω on the others) will cause at least 15 ps of skew.
