description
The CDC9163 is an integrated clock synthesizer
specifically designed for use in Pentium
/430VX
based motherboards. Twelve host clock outputs
(HCLKn) are programmable via the SEL(0:2)
control inputs. This allows four HCLK clocks for
use with the processor and chipset, and eight
HCLK clocks for use with synchronous DRAM
dual in-line memory modules (SDRAM DIMM).
The CDC9163 provides six copies of the PCI clock
(PCIn), which can be disabled via the PCI_EN
control input. All PCI clocks operate at one-half the host clock frequency, and are offset 1 ns to 4 ns from the
rising edge of the host clock. In addition, the CDC9163 generates a 48-MHz serial bus clock (SBCLK), a 24-MHz
floppy controller clock, and two copies of the 14.318-MHz reference clock (REFn). All output frequencies are
generated from a 14.31818-MHz crystal or oscillator input.
PLLs are used to generate the host clock and serial bus clock frequencies. On-chip loop filters and internal
feedback eliminate the need for external components. The PCI clock frequency is derived from the base host
clock frequency, while the floppy controller clock is derived from the serial bus clock frequency.
The host and PCI clock outputs provide low-skew/low-jitter clock signals for reliable clock operation. All outputs
are 3 state and are disabled via the output-enable (OE) input. When OE is high, all outputs are enabled. When
OE is low, the outputs are disabled to a high-impedance state. An internal pullup resistor is provided on OE.
Low-power operation also is provided for with HCLK_EN and PCI_EN inputs. HCLK_EN, when low, places all
host clocks in the logic low state; all other outputs operate normally. PCI_EN, when low, places all PCI clocks
in the logic low state; all other outputs operate normally. Internal pulldown resistors are provided on the
HCLK_EN and PCI_EN inputs.
Because the CDC9163 is based on PLL circuitry, it requires a stabilization time to achieve phase-lock of the PLL.
This stabilization time is required following power-up and application of a fixed-frequency, fixed-phase signal
at the XIN input, as well as following any changes to SEL(0:2).
