ICS9169-01
The ICS9169-01 generates all clocks required for high speed
RISC or CISC microprocessor systems such as 486, Pentium/
Pentium Pro™, PowerPC™, etc. Four different reference
frequency multiplying factors are externally selectable with
smooth frequency transitions. These multiplying factors can
be customized for specific applications. A test mode is provided
to drive all clocks directly.
High drive BCLK outputs typically provide greater than 1V/
ns slew rate into 30pF loads. PCLK outputs typically provide
better than 1V/ns slew rate into 20pF loads while maintaining
50±5% duty cycle. The REF clock outputs typically provide
better than 0.5V/ns slew rates.
• Generates four processor, six bus, three 14.318 MHz
and one 48 MHz clock for ISA bus, audio, super I/O
and bus bridge devices
• Supports the Intel MARS chip set
• Synchronous clocks skew matched to 250ps window on
PCLKs and 500ps window on BCLKs
• Test clock mode eases system design
• Selectable multiplying ratios
• Custom configurations available
• Output frequency ranges to 100 MHz (depending on
option)
• 3.0V - 5.5 V supply range
• 28-pin SOIC and 28-pin SSOP (209-mil) packages
Applications
• Ideal for high-speed RISC or CISC systems such as 486,
Pentium, Pentium Pro, PowerPC, etc.
