Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These ratings are stress specifications only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those listed in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect product reliability.

The ICS9248-171 is a main clock synthesizer chip for AMD-K7 based systems with ALI 1647 style chipset. This  rovides all clocks required for such a system.

Spread spectrum may be enabled through I2C programming. Spread spectrum typically reduces system EMI by 8dB to 10dB.

This simplifies EMI qualification without resorting to board design iterations or costly shielding. The ICS9248-171 employs a proprietary closed loop design, which tightly controls the percentage of spreading over process and  emperature variations.

Serial programming I2C interface of the ICS9248-171 allows changing functions, stop clock programming and frequency selection.
