3V66
Output
3.3 V 66 MHz clock output, fixed frequency clock typically used with AGP
25
SEL
133/100#
Input
Control for the frequency of clocks at the CPU output pins. If logic "0" is used the
100 MHz frequency is selected. If Logic "1" is used, the 133 MHz frequency is
selected. The PCI clock is multiplexed to run at 33.3 MHz for both selected cases.

48 MHz
Output
3.3 V 48 MHz clock output, fixed frequency clock typically used with USB
devices

SPREAD#
Output
Power-on spread spectrum enable option. Active low = spread spectrum clocking
enable. Active high = spread spectrum clocking disable.
32
PD#
Input
Asynchronous active low input pin used to power down the device into a low
power state. The internal clocks are disabled and the VCO and the crystal are
stopped.

The ICS9248-65 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
theICS9211-01.
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
ICS9248-65 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.
