The ICS9158-01 is a low cost frequency generator designed
specifically for desktop and notebook PC applications. Eight
high drive, skew-controlled copies of the CPU clock are
avail-able, eliminating the need for an external buffer.
Each high drive (50mA) output is capable of driving a 30pf
load and has a typical duty cycle of 50/50. The CPU clock
outputs are skew-controlled to within ±250ps. The CPU
clocks provide all necessary frequencies for 286, 386, 486
and Pentium systems, including support for the latest speeds
of processors.
The CPU clock offers the unique feature of smooth, glitch-
free transitions from one frequency to the next, making this
the ideal device to use whenever slowing the CPU speeds. The
ICS9158-01 makes a gradual transition between frequencies
so that it meets the Intel cycle-to-cycle timing specification
for 486 systems.
