Frequency Timing Generator for Pentium II Systems
9248-50 Rev - H 03/19/01
Pin Configuration
Pentium is a trademark on Intel Corporation.
Generates the following system clocks:
- 2 CPU (2.5V) up to 100MHz.
- 6 PCI (3.3V) @ 33.3MHz (Includes one free running).
- 2 REF clks (3.3V) at 14.318MHz.
Skew characteristics:
- CPU – CPU<175ps
- PCI – PCI < 500ps
- CPU(early) – PCI = 1.5ns – 4ns.
Supports Spread Spectrum modulation for CPU and PCI
clocks, 0.5% down spread
Efficient Power management scheme through stop
clocks and power down modes.
Uses external 14.318MHz crystal, no external load cap
required for CL=18pF crystal.
28-pin (209 mil) SSOP and (6.1mm) TSSOP package
The ICS9248-50 is the Main clock solution for Notebook
designs using the Intel 440BX style chipset. Along with an
SDRAM buffer such as the ICS9179-03, it provides all
necessary clock signals for such a system.
Spread spectrum may be enabled by driving pin 26, SPREAD#
active (Low) at power-on. Spread spectrum typically reduces
system EMI by 8dB to 10dB. This simplifies EMI qualification
without resorting to board design iterations or costly shielding.
The ICS9248-50 employs a proprietary closed loop design,
which tightly controls the percentage of spreading over
process and temperature variations.

Power Management
ICS9248-50 Power Management Requirements
Clock Enable Configuration
Full clock cycle timing is guaranteed at all times after the system has initially powered up except where noted. During power
up and power down operations using the PD# pin will not cause clocks of a short or longer pulse than that of the running
clock. The first clock pulse coming out of a stopped clock condition may be slightly distorted due to clock network charging
circuitry. Boar d routing and signal loading ma y have a large impact on the initial clock distortion also.
Notes.
1. Clock on latency is defined from when the clock enable goes active to when the first valid clock comes out of the device.
2. Clock off latency is defined from when the clock enable goes inactive to when the last clock is driven low out of the device.
3. Power up latency is when PD# goes inactive (high) to when the first valid clocks are output by the device.
4. Power down has controlled clock counts applicable to CPUCLK, PCICLK only.
The REF will be stopped independant of these.

PCI_STOP# Timing Diagram
PCI_STOP# is an asynchronous input to the ICS9248-50. It is used to turn off the PCICLK (0:4) clocks for low power
operation. PCI_STOP# is synchronized by the ICS9248-50 internally . The minimum that the PCICLK (0:4) clocks are enabled
(PCI_STOP# high pulse) is at least 10 PCICLK (0:4) clocks. PCICLK (0:4) clocks are stopped in a low state and started with
a full high pulse width guaranteed. PCICLK (0:4) clock on latency cycles are only one rising PCICLK clock off latency is one
PCICLK clock.
CPU_STOP# Timing Diagram
CPUSTOP# is an asychronous input to the clock synthesizer. It is used to turn off the CPUCLKs for low power operation.
CPU_STOP# is synchronized by the ICS9248-50. The minimum that the CPUCLK is enabled (CPU_STOP# high pulse) is 100
CPUCLKs. All other clocks will continue to run while the CPUCLKs are disabled. The CPUCLKs will alw ays be stopped in a
low state and start in such a manner that guarantees the high pulse width is a full pulse. CPUCLK on latency is less than 4
CPUCLKs and CPUCLK off latency is less than 4 CPUCLKs.
Notes:
1. All timing is referenced to the internal CPUCLK.
2. CPU_STOP# is an asynchronous input and metastable conditions may exist.
This signal is synchronized to the CPUCLKs inside the ICS9248-50.
3. All other clocks continue to run undisturbed.
4. PD# and PCI_STOP# are shown in a high (true) state.
Notes:
1. All timing is referenced to the Internal CPUCLK (defined as inside the ICS9248 device.)
2. PCI_STOP# is an asynchronous input, and metastable conditions may exist. This signal is required to be synchronized
inside the ICS9248.
3. All other clocks continue to run undisturbed.
4. PD# and CPU_STOP# are shown in a high (true) state.

ICS9248-50
PD# Timing Diagram
The power down selection is used to put the part into a very low power state without turning off the power to the part. PD# is
an asynchronous active low input. This signal is synchronized internally by the ICS9248-50 prior to its control action of
powering down the clock synthesizer. Internal clocks will not be running after the device is put in power down state. When
PD# is active (low) all clocks are driven to a low state and held prior to turning off the VCOs and the cr ystal oscillator. The
power on latency is guaranteed to be less than 3ms. The power down latency is less than three CPUCLK cycles. PCI_STOP#
and CPU_STOP# are dont care signals during the power down operations.
Notes:
1. All timing is referenced to the Internal CPUCLK (defined as inside the ICS9248 device).
2. PD# is an asynchronous input and metastable conditions may exist. This signal is synchronized inside the ICS9248.
3. The shaded sections on the VCO and the Crystal signals indicate an active clock is being generated.

General Layout Precautions:
1) Use a ground plane on the top layer of the
PCB in all areas not used by traces.
2) Make all power traces and vias as wide as
possible to lower inductance.
Notes:
1 All clock outputs should ha v e series
terminating resistor. Not shown in
all places to improve readibility of
diagram
2 Optional EMI capacitor should be
used on all CPU, SDRAM, and PCI
outputs.
3 Optional crystal load capacitors are
recommended.
Capacitor Values:

All unmarked capacitors are 0.01µF ceramic
