ICS9159-06
Frequency Generator and Buffer for Pentium Systems
ICS9159-06RevC091897P
Block Diagram
The ICS9159-06 is a low cost frequency generator designed
specificallyforPentiumsystems.Theintegratedbufferminimizes
skew and provides the early CPU clock required by some
chipsetssuchastheOPTiVIPER.A14.318MHzXTALoscillator
provides the reference clock to generate standard Pentium
frequencies.TheCPUclock makesgradual frequency transitions
without violating the PLL timing of internal microprocessor
clock multipliers.
Asynchronous 33.3 MHz PCI bus operation is supported,
in-dependent of the CPU operating frequency. Green PC
systems are supported through power-down, doze, and
glitch-free stop clock modes.
Four CPU clocks operate up to 66 MHz at 3.3V with
glitch-free start and stop plus smooth transitions
3-6ns early CPU clock supports OPTi VIPER systems
Selection of 8 frequencies, tristate, or power-down
Six BUS clocks support asynchronous PCI bus
operation
±250ps skew between synchronous outputs
Integrated buffer outputs drive up to 30pF loads
3.1V -5.5V supply range
28-pin 300-mil SOIC package

* 3.3 volt operation only. ** 000 mode powers-down the
PLL sections and forces the outputs low. To ensure glitch-
free start and stop of the CPU and BUS clocks enter 000
from 001 and exit 000 through 001.
