ICS9250-13
Frequency Generator & Integrated Buffers for PENTIUM/ProTM
General Description
Features
3.3Voutputs:SDRAM, PCI, REF, 48/24MHz
2.5Vor3.3Voutputs:CPU
The ICS9250-13 generates all clocks required for high speed
RISCorCISCmicroprocessorsystemssuchasIntel PentiumPro
orCyrix. Eightdifferentreferencefrequencymultiplyingfactors
are externally selectable with smooth frequency transitions.
20 ohm CPU clock output impedance
20 ohm PCI clock output impedance
Skew from CPU (earlier) to PCI clock - 1 to 4 ns,
center 2.6 ns.
Spread spectrum may be enabled through I2C programming.
Spread spectrum typically reduces system EMI by 8dB to
10dB. This simplifies EMI qualification without resorting to
board design iterations or costly shielding. The ICS9250-13
employs a proprietary closed loop design, which tightly
controls the percentage of spreading over process and
temperature variations.
No external load cap for CL=18pF crystals
±250 ps CPU, PCI clock skew
400ps (cycle to cycle) CPU jitter
Smooth frequency switch, with selections from
50to83.3MHzCPU.
I2C interface for programming
2ms power up clock stable time
Clock duty cycle 45-55%.
