ICS527-02
Clock Slicer User Configurable PECL Input Zero Delay Buffer
Multiple Output Example
In this example, an input clock of 125 MHz is used. Eight copies of 50 MHz are required as are eight copies
of 25 MHz, de-skewed and aligned to the 125 MHz input clock. The following solution uses the
MK74CB217 which has dual 1 to 8 buffers with low pin-to-pin skew.

PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output
phase noise, the following guidelines should be
observed.
1) Each 0.01µF decoupling capacitor should be
mounted on the component side of the board as close
to the VDD pin as possible. No via’s should be used
between decoupling capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB
trace to VDD pin should be kept as short as possible,
as should the PCB trace to the ground via.
2) To minimize EMI the 33Ω series termination resistor,
if needed, should be placed close to the clock outputs.
3) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other
signal layers. Other signal traces should be routed
away from the ICS527-02. This includes signal traces
just underneath the device, or on layers adjacent to the
ground plane layer used by the device.
