Product details
Overview
The 570BLFT from IDT (now Renesas Electronics) is a 3.3 V zero-delay buffer and clock multiplier IC featuring integrated analog/digital PLL architecture, two CMOS clock outputs (CLK and CLK/2), and programmable multiplication from 0.5× to 32×. It delivers up to 170 MHz output frequency, ≤175 ps output-to-output skew, and supports industrial-grade operation (−40°C to +85°C) in an 8-pin SOIC package. It is used in PC, graphics, and data communications systems requiring precise clock synchronization with off-chip feedback.
For engineers reviewing the 570BLFT datasheet, 570BLFT pinout, 570BLFT application, or 570BLFT equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with functional differences, and supply support for volume procurement and BOM continuity.
Technical Context
The 570BLFT implements a fully integrated analog/digital PLL with external feedback path selection (CLK or CLK/2), enabling true zero-delay alignment between ICLK input and CLK output rising edges. Its dual-output architecture provides one primary clock (CLK) and a low-skew /2 derivative (CLK/2), both with 45–55% duty cycle and full CMOS drive (25 mA at TTL levels).
Configuration is set via S1/S0 pins, selecting among 14 discrete multipliers (e.g., ×1, ×2, ×4, ×8, ×16, ×32) and supporting power-down/tri-state mode that halts the PLL and places both outputs in high-impedance state. It operates at 3.3 V ±5%, passes spread-spectrum clock modulation, and recovers degraded input duty cycle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ±5% - ensures compatibility with modern low-voltage digital logic and eliminates need for level-shifting in 3.3 V systems. |
| Output Frequency Range | 10–170 MHz - supports high-speed interfaces including PCI Express reference clocks and DDR memory timing. |
| Output-to-Output Skew | ≤175 ps (ICS570B) - guarantees tight phase alignment between CLK and CLK/2 for synchronous sampling across multiple domains. |
| Input-to-Output Jitter | 100–250 ps (40–150 MHz) - enables clean clock distribution in noise-sensitive video and communication PHY layers. |
| Multiplier Range | 0.5× to 32× - allows flexible clock synthesis from low-frequency crystals (e.g., 1.5625 MHz → 50 MHz) without external dividers. |
| Duty Cycle | 45/55% at VDD/2 - maintains balanced high/low time for reliable setup/hold timing in flip-flop-based logic. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including network switches and embedded graphics controllers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (150 mil body), RoHS-compliant, Pb-free (LF suffix), JEDEC MS-012AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S1 | Multiplier select input | Configures clock multiplication factor with S0; connects to GND/VDD/floating per decoding table (e.g., S1=1, S0=1 → ×2 mode). |
| VDD | Power supply | +3.3 V supply input; requires 0.01 µF decoupling capacitor placed near pin to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits and output drivers; must be low-inductance connection. |
| ICLK | Reference clock input | Accepts input clock (e.g., crystal oscillator or system clock); VIH ≥2 V, VIL ≤0.8 V, Cin = 5 pF. |
| FBIN | Feedback clock input | Receives CLK or CLK/2 for PLL lock; supports both feedback paths to optimize edge alignment and jitter performance. |
| S0 | Multiplier select input | LSB of 2-bit multiplier control; works with S1 to select one of 14 multiplication ratios (e.g., ×4, ×8, ×16). |
| CLK | Main clock output | Primary CMOS output clock (up to 170 MHz); full-swing, 25 mA drive capability, rise/fall time ≤0.75 ns. |
| CLK/2 | Divided clock output | Low-skew /2 derivative of CLK; synchronized rising edges; used for peripheral timing or secondary domain clocks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-delay buffer functionality | Aligns rising edge of ICLK input with CLK output - eliminates cumulative propagation delay in clock trees. |
| Programmable multiplication (14 ratios) | Enables single-device clock synthesis across diverse system frequencies without external PLL ICs or dividers. |
| CLK/2 output with low skew | Provides deterministic /2 clock with ≤175 ps skew vs. CLK - ideal for dual-edge-triggered or divided-clock domains. |
| Power-down/tri-state mode | Stops internal PLL and forces both outputs into high-Z - reduces system power during idle states or dynamic reconfiguration. |
| Spread-spectrum clocking support | Passes modulated input clocks without distortion - meets EMI reduction requirements in consumer and computing platforms. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar clock multiplier and zero-delay buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICS570A | 5 V supply only; higher input-to-output jitter (up to 600 ps for ICS570M legacy version); no 3.3 V operation. | Restricted to legacy 5 V designs; incompatible with mixed-voltage or modern low-power systems. | Select only if existing 5 V infrastructure prohibits voltage translation and 5 V tolerance is required. |
| ICS570M | Legacy version with higher jitter (600 ps typical), no spread-spectrum support, and no 3.3 V option; pin-compatible but not functionally equivalent. | Limited to non-SSC applications; unsuitable for PCIe, USB, or HDMI where SSC compliance is mandatory. | Not recommended for new designs; use 570BLFT for improved jitter, SSC support, and 3.3 V compatibility. |
Compared with ICS570A and ICS570M, the 570BLFT offers lower jitter (100–250 ps), guaranteed 3.3 V operation, spread-spectrum clocking support, and industrial temperature range - making it the preferred choice for new industrial, graphics, and high-speed serial interface designs.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 570BLFT?
The 570BLFT operates at 3.3 V ±5% (3.15 V to 3.45 V). This fixed voltage requirement is specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table and confirmed in the Ordering Information section. Unlike the 5 V-only ICS570A variant, the 570BLFT is not rated for 5 V operation - applying 5 V will exceed absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. The 570BLFT must be powered from a regulated 3.3 V rail with local 0.01 µF decoupling.
Does the 570BLFT support spread-spectrum clocking (SSC)?
Yes, the 570BLFT explicitly passes spread-spectrum clock modulation, as stated in the Features list on page 1 of the datasheet. This capability allows it to accept and distribute modulated reference clocks without introducing additional jitter or distortion - a critical requirement for PCIe, SATA, and USB compliance testing. The 570BLFT maintains its specified jitter performance (100–250 ps) even with SSC input, unlike the legacy ICS570M which lacks this feature.
How many multiplier options does the 570BLFT provide, and how are they selected?
The 570BLFT provides 14 discrete multiplication ratios ranging from 0.5× to 32×, selected using the S1 and S0 pins per the Clock Multiplier Decoding Table on page 2. Each combination (e.g., S1=1, S0=0) maps to specific multipliers for CLK and CLK/2 outputs depending on FBIN source (CLK or CLK/2). Selection is static at power-up and requires no serial interface - configuration is purely hardware-based via pull-up/pull-down or floating connections.
What is the maximum output frequency supported by the 570BLFT?
The 570BLFT supports an output clock frequency up to 170 MHz, as specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table on page 8. This maximum applies to the CLK output under 3.3 V operation and is validated across the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). The CLK/2 output is inherently limited to half that frequency (≤85 MHz), but maintains the same low skew (≤175 ps) relative to CLK.
Is the 570BLFT pin-compatible with earlier ICS570 variants?
Yes, the 570BLFT is pin-for-pin compatible with the ICS570M and ICS570A variants, as confirmed in the Features section ("Pin-for-pin replacement and upgrade to ICS570M"). All share identical 8-pin SOIC pinout, signal assignments, and footprint. However, electrical behavior differs: the 570BLFT requires 3.3 V only, offers lower jitter, and adds spread-spectrum support - so while PCB layout remains unchanged, power supply and system-level timing validation must reflect these improvements.
