Clock Generator for Cavium Processors
ICS8430S10I
DATA SHEET
General Description
The ICS8430S10I is a PLL-based clock generator specifically
designed for Cavium Networks SoC processors. This high
performance device is optimized to generate the processor core
reference clock, the DDR reference clocks, the PCI/PCI-X bus
clocks, and the clocks for both the Gigabit Ethernet MAC and PHY.
The clock generator offers ultra low-jitter, low-skew clock outputs,
and edge rates that easily meet the input requirements for the
CN30XX/ CN31XX/CN38XX/CN58XX processors. The output
frequencies are generated from a 25MHz external input source or an
external 25MHz parallel resonant crystal. The extended temperature
range of the ICS8430S10I supports telecommunication, networking,
and storage requirements.
