ICS290PG
ICS290PG - 200MHz Triple PLL Clock Synthesizer | Renesas
Renesas Electronics ICS290PG is a field-programmable, triple-PLL spread-spectrum clock synthesizer with a maximum frequency of 200 MHz, CMOS outputs, and support for clock or crystal inputs. The device generates up to eight high-quality high-frequency clock outputs, including multiple reference clocks, and is packaged in a 20-pin TSSOP package identified as PGG20. Its programmable architecture makes it suitable for systems that require controlled clock generation, frequency synthesis, or spread-spectrum operation.
A clock synthesizer is an integrated circuit that derives one or more stable timing signals from a reference clock or crystal. Clock and timing ICs sit within the broader timing-control hierarchy used by processors, communications equipment, storage systems, and test instrumentation. A PLL-based synthesizer can multiply, divide, or otherwise derive clock frequencies while providing programmable output arrangements and phase-related reference signals.
The ICS290PG uses three PLL sections to produce multiple related outputs from a common reference source. Its operating input types are clock or crystal, while its output logic is CMOS. The stated input-to-output ratio reaches 1:8, and the maximum generated frequency is 200 MHz. Spread-spectrum capability can help redistribute clock energy across a frequency band, which is useful where controlled spectral spreading is desirable for system timing, interface, or electromagnetic-interference considerations.
The PGG20 package offers 20 pins and an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C. The device is identified as lead-free and is supplied in a tube for the cataloged ordering configuration. Pin functions, programmable register details, reference-frequency limits, output configurations, jitter characteristics, supply-voltage range, and package dimensions must be confirmed in the manufacturer datasheet before a new board layout is released.
Typical clock-tree applications include processor and controller timing, communications equipment, data-converter systems, storage controllers, and instrumentation. In a communications design, the ICS290PG can create a system clock and reference outputs from one source. In processor-based equipment, it can provide programmable frequencies while reducing the number of independent oscillators and associated distribution components.
The main design consideration is validating the complete clock architecture. The reference input, PLL programming values, output enable sequence, trace topology, and downstream jitter requirements must be evaluated together. Short, controlled clock routes and proper return paths help preserve signal quality, while an output-termination strategy should follow the impedance of the PCB and the receiving device.
This page combines verified device characteristics, application guidance, pin and package constraints, comparison fields, and replacement guidance. It is structured to help engineers identify whether the ICS290PG meets the required frequency, output-count, logic, temperature, and package conditions before committing a PCB footprint or production BOM.
