ICS9248-81

Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc. ICS9248- 81 Frequency Generator & Integrated Buffers General Description The ICS9248-81 is the single chip clock solution for Desktop/ Notebook designs using the SIS style chipset. It provides all necessary clock signals for such a system. Spread spectrum may be enabled through I2C programming. Spread spectrum typically reduces system EMI by 8dB to 10dB. This simplifies EMI qualification without resorting to board design iterations or costly shielding. The ICS9248-81 employs a proprietary closed loop design, which tightly controls the percentage of spreading over process and temperature variations. Serial programming I2C interface allows changing functions, stop clock programming and frequency selection. The SD_SEL latched input allows the SDRAM frequency to follow the CPUCLK frequency(SD_SEL=1) or other clock frequencies (SD_SEL=0) Features • Generates the following system clocks: - 3 CPU(2.5V/3.3V) up to 133.3MHz. - 6 PCI(3.3V) (including 1 free-running) - 13 SDRAMs(3.3V) up to 133.3MHz. - 3 REF (3.3V) @ 14.318MHz - 1 clock @ 24/14.3 MHz selectable output for SIO - 1 Fixed clock at 48MHz (3.3V) - 1 IOAPIC @ 2.5V / 3.3V Skew characteristics: - CPU – CPU<175ps - SDRAM – SDRAM < 250ps - CPU–SDRAM < 500ps - CPU(early) – PCI : 1-4ns (typ. 3ns) - PCI – PCI <500ps Supports Spread Spectrum modulation ±0.25 & ±0.5% center spread Serial I2C interface for Power Management, Frequency Select, Spread Spectrum.
