The ICS9148-25 is a Clock Synthesizer chip for Pentium and
PentiumPro plus Cyrix CPU based Desktop/Notebook systems
that will provide all necessary clock timing.
Features include four CPU, seven PCI and eight SDRAM
clocks. T wo reference outputs are available equal to the crystal
frequency, plus the IOAPIC output powered by VDDL.
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 clock outputs
typically provide better than 0.5V/ns slew rates.
The ICS9148-25 accepts a 14.318MHz reference crystal or
clock as its input and runs on a 3.3V supply.
Sperad Spectrum is modulated in center-spread mode on CPU/
SDRAM/PCI clocks. Modulation amount is selectable at
power-up (latched inputs) for ±0.5, ±1.0, ±2.0 or No spreading.
