ICS9169C-27
Frequency Generator for Pentium Based Systems
General Description
The
ICS9169C-27
is a low-cost frequency generator
designed specifically for Pentium based chip set systems.
The integrated buffer minimizes skew and provides all the
clocks required. A 14.318 MHz XTAL oscillator provides
the reference clock to generate standard Pentium
frequencies. The CPU clock makes gradual frequency
transitions without violating the PLL timing of internal
microprocessor clock multipliers.
Twelve CPU clock outputs provide sufficient clocks for the
CPU, chip set, memory and up to two DIMM connectors (with
four clocks to each DIMM). Either synchronous(CPU/2) or
asynchronous (32 MHz) PCI bus operation can be selected
by latching data on the BSEL input
Features
Twelve selectable CPU clocks operate up to 83.3MHz
Maximum CPU jitter of ± 200ps
Six BUS clocks support sync or async bus operation
250ps skew window for CPU outputs, 500ps skew
window for BUS outputs
CPU clocks BUS clocks skew 1-4ns (CPU early)
Integrated buffer outputs drive up to 30pF loads
3.0V - 3.7V supply range, CPU(1:6) outputs 2.5V(2.375-
2.62V) VDD option
32-pin SOIC/SOJ package
Logic inputs latched at Power-On for frequency selection
saving pins as Input/Output
48 MHz clock for USB support and 24 MHz clock for FD.
