DATASHEET
ICS9FG104
Frequency Generator for CPU, QPI, FBD, PCIe Gen 2 & SATA
Description
Features/Benefits
The ICS9FG104 is a Frequency Timing Generator that provides 4
differential output pairs that are compliant to the Intel CK410
specification. It also provides support for PCI-Express and SATA.
The part synthesizes several output frequencies from either a
14.31818 Mhz crystal or a 25 MHz crystal. The device can also be
driven by a reference input clock instead of a crystal. It provides
outputs with cycle-to-cycle jitter of less than 50 ps and output-to-
output skew of less than 35 ps.The ICS9FG104 also provides a copy
of the reference clock. Frequency selection can be accomplished via
strap pins or SMBus control.
