Circuit
Systems, Inc.
Frequency Generator and Integrated Buffer for PENTIUM™
General Description
The ICS9159-14 generates all clocks required for high speed
RISC or CISC microprocessor systems such as 486, Pentium,
PowerPC,Ô etc. Four different reference frequency multiplying factors are externally selectable with smooth frequency
transitions. These multiplying factors can be customized for
specific applications.
High drive BCLK outputs provide typically greater than 1V/
ns slew rate into 30pF loads. PCLK outputs provide typically
better than 1V/ns slew rate into 20pF loads while maintaining
±5% duty cycle.
