IOAPIC, 3V66 and CPU/2 output clocks.

The ICS9250-11 is a main clock synthesizer chip for Pentium

II based systems using Rambus Interface DRAMs. This chip

provides all the clocks required for such a system when used

with a Direct Rambus Clock Generator (DRCG) chip such as

the ICS9212-01, 02, 03 and a PCI buffer 9112-17.

Spread Spectrum may be enabled by driving the SPREAD#

pin active. Spread spectrum typically reduces system EMI by

8dB to 10dB. This simplifies EMI qualification without

resorting to board design iterations or costly shielding. The

ICS9250-11 employs a proprietary closed loop design, which

tightly controls the percentage of spreading over process and

temperature variations.

The CPU/2 clocks are inputs to the DRCG.
