The ICS9148-17 generates all clocks required for high speed
RISC or CISC microprocessor systems such as Intel PentiumPro
or Cyrix. Eight different reference frequency multiplying factors
are externally selectable with smooth frequency transitions.
Features include four CPU, six PCI, two AGP (=2xPCI) and
Twelve SDRAM clocks. Two reference outputs are available
equal to the crystal frequency. One 48 MHz for USB, and one
24 MHz clock for Super IO. Built in ±1.5%, 0.6% center or down
spread spectrum modulation to reduce EMI. Serial
programming I2C interface allows changing functions, stop
clock programing and frequency selection. Additionally, the
device meets the Pentium power-up stabilization, which
requires that CPU and PCI clocks be stable within 2ms after
power-up.
High drive PCICLK and SDRAM outputs typically provide
greater than 1 V/ns slew rate into 30pF loads. CPUCLK outputs
typically provide better than 1V/ns slew rate into 20pF loads
while maintaining 50±5% duty cycle. The REF and 24 and 48
MHz clock outputs typically provide better than 0.5V/ns slew
rates.
