General Description
The ICS844441I is a low jitter, high performance
clock generator and a member of the FemtoClocks™
HiPerClockS™
family of silicon timing products. The ICS844441I is
designed for use in applications using the SAS and
SATA interconnect. The ICS844441I uses an
external, 25MHz, parallel resonant crystal to generate four
selectable output frequencies: 75MHz, 100MHz, 150MHz, and
300MHz. This silicon based approach provides excellent
frequency stability and reliability. The ICS844441I features down
and center spread spectrum (SSC) clocking techniques.
