ICS9248- 81
Frequency Generator & Integrated Buffers
General Description
The
ICS9248-81
is the single chip clock solution for Desktop/
Notebook designs using the SIS style chipset. It provides all
necessary clock signals for such a system.
Spread spectrum may be enabled through I
2
C 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
ICS9248-81
employs a proprietary closed loop design, which tightly
controls the percentage of spreading over process and
temperature variations.
Serial programming I
2
C interface allows changing functions,
stop clock programming and frequency selection. The SD_SEL
latched input allows the SDRAM frequency to follow the
CPUCLK frequency(SD_SEL=1) or other clock frequencies
(SD_SEL=0)
Features
Generates the following system clocks:
- 3 CPU(2.5V/3.3V) up to 133.3MHz.
- 6 PCI(3.3V) (including 1 free-running)
- 13 SDRAMs(3.3V) up to 133.3MHz.
- 3 REF (3.3V) @ 14.318MHz
- 1 clock @ 24/14.3 MHz selectable output for SIO
- 1 Fixed clock at 48MHz (3.3V)
- 1 IOAPIC @ 2.5V / 3.3V
Skew characteristics:
- CPU CPU<175ps
- SDRAM SDRAM < 250ps
- CPUSDRAM < 500ps
- CPU(early) PCI : 1-4ns (typ. 3ns)
- PCI PCI <500ps

The ICS clock generator is a slave/receiver, I
2
C component. It can read back the data stored in the latches for verification.
Read-Back will support Intel PIIX4 "Block-Read" protocol.
The data transfer rate supported by this clock generator is 100K bits/sec or less (standard mode)
The input is operating at 3.3V logic levels.
The data byte format is 8 bit bytes.
To simplify the clock generator I
2
C interface, the protocol is set to use only "Block-Writes" from the controller. The
bytes must be accessed in sequential order from lowest to highest byte with the ability to stop after any complete byte
has been transferred. The Command code and Byte count shown above must be sent, but the data is ignored for those
two bytes. The data is loaded until a Stop sequence is issued.
At power-on, all registers are set to a default condition, as shown.
