General Description

The ICS9214 clock generator provides the necessary clock signals to support the Rambus XDRTM memory subsystem and Redwood logic interface. The clock source is a reference clock that may or may not be modulated for spread spectrum. The ICS9214 provides 4 differential clock pairs in a space saving 28-pin TSSOP package and provides an off-the-shelf high-performance interface solution.
