General Description

The 9154A is a 0.8mm version of the industry leading 9154. Like the 9154, the 9154A is a low-cost frequency generator designed for general purpose PC and disk drive applications. However, because the 9154A uses 0.8mm technology and the latest phase-locked loop architecture, it offers performance advantages that enable the device to be sold into Pentium? systems.

特性 Features

? Compatible with 386, 486 and Pentium CPUs

? 45/55 Duty cycle

? Runs up to 66 MHz at 3.3V

? Single pin can slow clock to 8 MHz (on -42 and -43)

? Single pin can stop the CPU clock glitch-free (on -43)

? Very low jitter, ±250ps for Pentium frequencies

? 1X and 2X CPU clocks skew controlled to ±250ps (-42

only)

? Smooth transitions between all CPU frequencies

? Slow frequency ramp at power-on avoids CPU lock-up

? 16-pin 150-mil skinny SOIC packages

? 0.8μm CMOS technology

Applications

Computer motherboards: The 9154A replaces crystals and

oscillators, saving board space, component cost, part count

and inventory costs. It produces a switchable CPU clock and

up to four fixed clocks to drive floppy disk, communications,

super I/O, Bus, and/or keyboard devices. The small package

and 3.3V operation is perfect for handheld computers.
