description
The CDC9841 is a high-performance clock synthesizer/driver that generates all required clock signals
necessary for a high-performance PC motherboard. The four central processing unit (CPU) clock outputs
(PCLKn) are programmable to one of three frequencies (50 MHz, 60 MHz, or 66 MHz) via the SEL0 and SEL1
control inputs. The six peripheral-component-interconnect (PCI) clock outputs (BCLKn) are half the frequency
of PCLKn and are delayed 1 ns to 4 ns from the rising edge of the CPU clock. In addition, the four fixed-frequency
outputs provide a 24-MHz clock (CLK24), a 12-MHz clock (CLK12), and two buffered copies of the 14.318-MHz
input reference (REF0, REF1).
The CDC9841 generates all output frequencies from a 14.31818-MHz crystal input. A reference clock can be
provided at X1 instead of a crystal input.
Two phase-lock loops (PLLs) generate the CPU clock frequency and the 24-MHz clock frequency . On-chip loop
filters and internal feedback eliminate the need for external components. The PCI and 12-MHz clock
frequencies are derived from the base CPU and 24-MHz clock frequencies, respectively. The PLL circuit can
be bypassed in the TEST mode (i.e., SEL0 = SEL1 = H) to distribute a test clock provided at the X1 input.
Because the CDC9841 is based on PLL circuitry , it requires a stabilization time to achieve phase lock of the PLL.
This stabilization time is required following power up and application of a fixed-frequency, fixed-phase signal
at the X1 input, as well as following any changes to the SELn inputs.
PCLKn and BCLKn provide low-skew/low-jitter clock signals for reliable clock operation. All outputs are 3 state
and are enabled via OE.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of
Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.
PRODUCTION DATA information is current as of publication date.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. The input and output negative-voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output clamp-current ratings are observed.
2. The maximum package power dissipation is calculated using a junction temperature of 150°C and a board trace length of 750 mils.

‡
Time required for the integrated PLL circuit to obtain phase lock of its feedback signal to its reference signal. In order for phase lock to be obtained,
a fixed-frequency, fixed-phase reference signal must be present at X1. Until phase lock is obtained, the specifications for propagation delay and
skew parameters given in the switching characteristics table are not applicable.
