The ICS9248-81 is the single chip clock solution for Desktop/
Notebook designs using the SIS 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 ICS9248-81
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. The SD_SEL
latched input allows the SDRAM frequency to follow the
CPUCLK frequency(SD_SEL=1) or other clock frequencies
(SD_SEL=0)
ICS reserves the right to make changes in the device data identified in
this publication without further notice. ICS advises its customers to
obtain the latest version of all device data to verify that any
information being relied upon by the customer is current and accurate.

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 I2C 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.

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 ICS9248-81. 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 ICS9248-81.
3. All other clocks continue to run undisturbed. (including SDRAM outputs).

ICS9248-81
SDRAM_STOP# Timing Diagram
SDRAM_STOP# is an sychronous input to the clock synthesizer. It is used to turn off the CPU clocks for low power operation.
SDRAM_STOP# is synchronized by the ICS9248-81. 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 ICS9248-81.
3. All other clocks continue to run undisturbed.

ICS9248-81
PCI_STOP# Timing Diagram
PCI_STOP# is an synchronous input to the ICS9248-81. It is used to turn off the PCICLK (0:4) clocks for low power operation.
PCI_STOP# is synchronized by the ICS9248-81 internally. The minimum that the PCICLK (0:4) clocks are enabled
(PCI_STOP# high pulse) is at least 10 PCICLK (0:4) clocks. PCICLK (0:4) clocks are stopped in a low state and started with
a full high pulse width guaranteed. PCICLK (0:4) 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 device.)
2. PCI_STOP# is an asynchronous input, and metastable conditions may exist. This signal is required to be synchronized
inside the ICS9248.
3. All other clocks continue to run undisturbed.
4. CPU_STOP# is shown in a high (true) state.

ICS9248-81
The I/O pins designated by (input/output) on the ICS924881 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 4-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.
To 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.
Figs. 1 and 2 show the recommended means of implementing
this function. In Fig. 1 either one of the resistors is loaded
onto the board (selective stuffing) to configure the devices
internal logic. Figs. 2a and b provide a single resistor loading
option where either solder spot tabs or a physical jumper
Shared Pin Operation Input/Output Pins
Fig. 1
header may be used.
These figures illustrate the optimal PCB physical layout
options. These configuration resistors are of such a large
ohmic value that they do not effect the low impedance clock
signals. The layouts have been optimized to provide as little
impedance transition to the clock signal as possible, as it
passes through the programming resistor pad(s).

General Layout Precautions:
1) Use a ground plane on the top layer
of the PCB in all areas not used by
traces.
2) Make all power traces and ground
traces as wide as the via pad for lower
inductance.
Notes:
1) All clock outputs should have a
series terminating resistor, and a 20pF
capacitor to ground between the
resistor and clock pin. Not shown in
all places to improve readibility of
diagram.
2) Optional crystal load capacitors are
recommended. They should be
included in the layout but not inserted
unless needed.
