General Description
Pin Configuration
The ICS9248-150 is a main clock for ServerWorks Grand Champion Systems.
Spread spectrum typically reduces system EMI by 8dB to 10dB. This simplifies EMI qualification without resorting to
board design iterations or costly shielding. The ICS9248-150 employs a proprietary closed loop design, which tightly
controls the percentage of spreading over process and temperature variations.

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.
Notes:
1. As shown, the outputs Stop Low on the next falling edge after PD# goes low.
2. PD# is an asynchronous input and metastable conditions may exist. This signal is synchronized inside this part.
3. The shaded sections on the VCO and the Crystal signals indicate an active clock.
