Pentium is a trademark on Intel Corporation.
8 selectable CPU clocks up to 75MHz
Six synchronous PCI clocks
One Referance Clock at 14.318MHz
Power-up stabilization time = 2ms on all CPU and PCI
clocks, which meets Intel PentiumPro power-up
Low CPU and PCI clock jitter <500ps
Low skew output
Improved output drivers are designed for low EMI
Test Mode
Optional common or mixed supply mode:
(VDD = VDDL1 =VDDL2 = 3.3V)
(VDD = 3.3V, VDDL1=VDDL2 = 2.5)
(VDD = 3.3V, VDDL1 = 3.3V, VDDL2 = 2.5V)
Space saving and low cost 34-pin SSOP package
The ICS9169C-40 is a Clock Synthesizer chip for Pentium or
Cyrix CPU based motherboards using PCI.
Features include eight CPU clocks and six PCI clocks. A
Reference Output is available equal to the crystal frequency.
The device meets the Pentium power-up stabilization, which
requires that CPU and PCI clocks be stable within 2ms after
power-up.
The ICS9169C-40 clock output are designed for low EMI
emissions. Controlled rise and fall times, unique output
driver circuits and innovative circuit layout techniques enable
the ICS9169C-40 to have lower EMI than other clock
devices.
The ICS9169C-40 accepts a 14.318MHz reference crystal or
clock as its input and runs from a 3.3V supply.
