ICS9248-146
Third party brands and names are the property of their respective owners.
The ICS9248-146 is the single chip clock solution for
Desktop/Notebook designs using the SIS 630S 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 ICS9248-146
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.

1. The ICS clock generator is a slave/receiver, I2C component. It can read back the data stored in the latches for
verification. Read-Back will support Intel PIIX4 "Block-Read" protocol.
2. The data transfer rate supported by this clock generator is 100K bits/sec or less (standard mode)
3. The input is operating at 3.3V logic levels.
4. The data byte format is 8 bit bytes.
5. To simplify the clock generator I
2
C interface, the protocol is set to use only "Block-Writes" from the controller. The
bytes must be accessed in sequential order from lowest to highest byte with the ability to stop after any complete byte
has been transferred. The Command code and Byte count shown above must be sent, but the data is ignored for those
two bytes. The data is loaded until a Stop sequence is issued.
6. At power-on, all registers are set to a default condition, as shown.

Shared Pin Operation Input/Output Pins
The I/O pins designated by (input/output) on the ICS9248146 serve as dual signal functions to the device. During initial
power-up, they act as input pins. The logic level (voltage)
that is present on these pins at this time is read and stored
into a 5-bit internal data latch. At the end of Power -On reset,
(see AC characteristics for timing values), the device changes
the mode of operations for these pins to an output function.
In this mode the pins produce the specified buffered clocks
to external loads.
T o program (load) the internal configuration register for these
pins, a resistor is connected to either the VDD (logic 1) power
supply or the GND (logic 0) voltage potential. A 10 Kilohm
(10K) resistor is used to provide both the solid CMOS
programming voltage needed during the power-up
programming period and to provide an insignificant load on
the output clock during the subsequent operating period.

Figure 1 shows a means of implementing this function when
a switch or 2 pin header is used. With no jumper is installed
the pin will be pulled high. With the jumper in place the pin
will be pulled low. If programmability is not necessary, than
only a single resistor is necessary. The programming resistors
should be located close to the series termination resistor to
minimize the current loop area. It is more important to locate
the series termination resistor close to the driver than the
programming resistor.

CPU_STOP# Timing Diagram
CPU_STOP# is an asychronous input to the clock synthesizer. It is used to turn off the CPU clocks for low power operation.
CPU_STOP# is synchronized by the ICS9248-146. The minimum that the CPU clock is enabled (CPU_STOP# high pulse) is 100
CPU clocks. All other clocks will continue to run while the CPU clocks are disabled. The CPU clocks will always be stopped in
a low state and start in such a manner that guarantees the high pulse width is a full pulse. CPU clock on latency is less than 4
CPU clocks and CPU clock off latency is less than 4 CPU clocks.
Notes:
1. All timing is referenced to the internal CPU clock.
2. CPU_STOP# is an asynchronous input and metastable conditions may exist. This signal is synchronized
to the CPU clocks inside the ICS9248-146.
3. All other clocks continue to run undisturbed. (including SDRAM outputs).

PCI_STOP# Timing Diagram
PCI_STOP# is an asynchronous input to the ICS9248-146. It is used to turn off the PCICLK clocks for low power operation.
PCI_STOP# is synchronized by the ICS9248-146 internally. The minimum that the PCICLK clocks are enabled (PCI_STOP#
high pulse) is at least 10 PCICLK clocks. PCICLK clocks are stopped in a low state and started with a full high pulse width
guaranteed. PCICLK clock on latency cycles are only one rising PCICLK clock off latency is one PCICLK clock.
Notes:
1. All timing is referenced to the Internal CPUCLK (defined as inside the ICS9248-146 device.)
2. PCI_STOP# is an asynchronous input, and metastable conditions may exist. This signal is required to be synchronized
inside the ICS9248-146.
3. All other clocks continue to run undisturbed.
4. CPU_STOP# is shown in a high (true) state.

SDRAM_STOP# Timing Diagram
SDRAM_STOP# is an asychronous input to the clock synthesizer. It is used to stop SDRAM clocks for low power operation.
SDRAM_STOP# is synchronized to complete it's current cycle, by the ICS9248-146. All other clocks will continue to run while
the SDRAM clocks are disabled. The SDRAM clocks will always be stopped in a low state and start in such a manner that
guarantees the high pulse width is a full pulse.
Notes:
1. All timing is referenced to the internal CPU clock.
2. SDRAM is an asynchronous input and metastable conditions may exist. This signal is synchronized to
the SDRAM clocks inside the ICS9248-146.
3. All other clocks continue to run undisturbed.

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 needs to be synchronized internal to the device prior to powering down the clock
synthesizer.
Internal clocks are not running after the device is put in power down. When PD# is active low all clocks need to be driven to a
low value and held prior to turning off the VCOs and crystal. The power up latency needs to be less than 3 mS. The power down
latency should be as short as possible but conforming to the sequence requirements shown below. PCI_STOP# and
CPU_STOP# are considered to be don't cares during the power down operations. The REF and 48MHz clocks are expected to
be stopped in the LOW state as soon as possible. Due to the state of the internal logic, stopping and holding the REF clock
outputs in the LOW state may require more than one clock cycle to complete.
Notes:
1. All timing is referenced to the Internal CPUCLK (defined as inside the ICS9248-146 device).
2. As shown, the outputs Stop Low on the next falling edge after PD# goes low.
3. PD# is an asynchronous input and metastable conditions may exist. This signal is synchronized inside this part.
4. The shaded sections on the VCO and the Crystal signals indicate an active clock.
5. Diagrams shown with respect to 133MHz. Similar operation when CPU is 100MHz.
