Applications
Frequency Generator and Integrated Buffer
The ICS9158-04 is a low cost frequency generator designed
specifically for desktop and notebook PC applications. Up to
six copies of the CPU clock are available, and five or six
copies of the BUS clock are available depending on the status
of the frequency select pins, which eliminates the need for an
external buffer.
Each high drive (25mA) output is capable of driving a 30pF
load and has a typical duty cycle of 50/50. The clock outputs
are skew controlled to within ±250ps.
The ICS9158-04 makes a gradual transition between
frequencies, so that it meets the Intel cycle-to-cycle timing
specification for 486 and Pentium systems.
11 skew-free, high drive CPU/BUS clocks
Up to 66 MHz at 3.3V
±250ps skew between all outputs
Outputs can drive up to 30pF load and 25mA
50±10% duty cycle
Compatible with 486 and Pentium CPUs
Selectable 5/6 or 6/5 CPU/BUS output ratio
On-chip loop filter components
3.0V - 5.5V supply range
24-pin SOIC package
Ideal for RISC or CISC systems such as 486, Pentium,
PowerPC, etc., requiring multiple CPU and BUS
clocks.
