[July 26, 2004] Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc. Announces Complete Family of Field-Programmable Devices with the Industry's First Spread Spectrum Option SAN JOSE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- July 26, 2004 -- Integrated Circuit Systems (NASDAQ: ICST), a world leader in silicon timing solutions for the consumer, networking, and industrial electronic industries, announces the release of its new VersaClock(TM) family of programmable clock solutions. The VersaClock(TM) family includes a broad line of One-Time Programmable (OTP) and Serial Programmable timing devices that are easily configured using ICS' VersaClock software. VersaClock devices feature up to nine clock outputs, as well as being the industry's first field-programmable devices with spread spectrum capability as an integrated option. "Electronic design engineers are continually challenged to develop high performance designs with minimal cost and space requirements, while still passing EMI (electro-magnetic interference) certification," said Russell Willner, VersaClock product line manager. "The VersaClock product family meets these challenges by consolidating oscillators and crystals, fan out buffers and spread spectrum capabilities into a single device. In addition, VersaClock products offer spread spectrum modulation as an integrated option - an industry-standard technique for lowering harmonic EMI radiation in a system." VersaClock products are capable of generating frequencies between 250 kHz to 200 MHz and are offered in commercial (0 to +70 degrees C) and industrial (-40 to +85 degrees C) temperature ranges. -0- *T Spread Device Outputs PLLs Spectrum Registers Package(1) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ICS341MP 1 1 Yes 4 8P SOIC ICS342MP 2 2 Yes 2 8P SOIC ICS343MP 3 3 Yes 1 8P SOIC ICS345RP 9 3 Yes 8 20P SSOP ICS348RP 9 4 No 8 20P SSOP (1)Standard or Pb(lead)-free options available. *T The VersaClock product family includes user-friendly software created specifically to accelerate design development. Leveraging over 20 years of ICS timing expertise, this user-friendly software eliminates the need for prior Phase-Lock Loop (PLL) design experience and provides the necessary performance metrics to help guide configuration trade-offs. VersaClock software is available as a free download from the company's web site at: search.icst.com/software/. The VersaClock family of field-programmable devices is available now through ICS's North America distributor Unique Memec (www.unique.memec.com).
