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 ICS9248-64 is a main clock synthesizer chip for AMDK7 based systems. This provides all clocks required for such a system when used with a Zero Delay Buffer Chip such as the ICS9179-06.

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 ICS9248-64 employs a proprietary closed loop design, which tightly controls the percentage of spreading over process and temperature variations.
