The ICS9248-65 is a main clock synthesizer chip for Pentium
II based systems using Rambus Interface DRAMs. This chip
provides all the clocks required for such a system when used
with a Direct Rambus Clock Generator(DRCG) chip such as
the ICS9211-01.
Spread Spectrum may be enabled by driving the SPREAD#
pin active. Spread spectrum typically reduces system EMI by
8dB to 10dB. This simplifies EMI qualification without
resorting to board design iterations or costly shielding. The
ICS9248-65 employs a proprietary closed loop design, which
tightly controls the percentage of spreading over process
and temperature variations.
The CPU/2 clocks are inputs to the DRCG.
