Frequency Generator and Buffer for Pentium Systems
General Description
The ICS9159-06 is a low cost frequency generator designed
specifically for Pentium systems. The integrated buffer minimizes
skew and provides the early CPU clock required by some
chipsets such as the OPTi VIPER. A 14.318 MHz XTA L oscillator
provides the reference clock to generate standard Pentium
frequencies. The CPU clock makes gradual frequency transitions
without violating the PLL timing of internal microprocessor
clock multipliers.
Asynchronous 33.3 MHz PCI bus operation is supported,
in-dependent of the CPU operating frequency. Green PC
systems are supported through power-down, doze, and
glitch-free stop clock modes.

Features
Four CPU clocks operate up to 66 MHz at 3.3V with
glitch-free start and stop plus smooth transitions
3-6ns early CPU clock supports OPTi VIPER systems
Selection of 8 frequencies, tristate, or power-down
Six BUS clocks support asynchronous PCI bus

* 3.3 volt operation only. ** 000 mode powers-down the
PLL sections and forces the outputs low. To ensure glitchfree start and stop of the CPU and BUS clocks enter 000
from 001 and exit 000 through 001.

XTAL or external reference frequ ency input. This input incl udes XTAL load
capacitance and fe edback bias for a 0. 5 - 20 MHz XTAL.**
Processor clock outp uts which are a multiple o f the input reference frequenc y as
shown in the table.
Frequency multiplie r select pins. See table. These inputs have internal pull-up
devices.
REF is a buffered copy of the crystal oscillator or reference input clock,
nominally 14.31818 MHz.*
Early processor clock output which is the same frequency as CPU(0:2). This clock
leads CPU(0:2) by 3-6nS.
Reduces CPU, ECPU and BUS clock outputs as shown in the functionality table
when at a logic low level.
Synchronously sto ps the CPU, ECPU and BUS cl ocks per the descript ion in the
functionality table. Can also be used to tristate all outputs when the DOZE pin is
low.
This ground return path is brought on separately to permit separating the noise
impulses from high output buffers from affecting sensitive internal circuitry.***
* Assuming 14.31818 MHz input clock or crystal.
** Device provides 18pF load for crystal load capacitance at each pin.
*** Ground for bus clock buffers.
