ICS94236
General Description
The ICS94236 is a main clock synthesizer chip for AMD-K7 based systems with VIA style chipset. This provides all
clocks required for such a system.
The ICS94236 belongs to ICS new generation of programmable system clock generators. It employs serial
programming I2C interface as a vehicle for changing output functions, changing output frequency, configuring output
strength, configuring output to output skew, changing spread spectrum amount, changing group divider ratio and dis/
enabling individual clocks. This device also has ICS propriety 'Watchdog Timer' technology which will reset the
frequency to a safe setting if the system become unstable from over clocking.

The ICS clock generator is a slave/receiver, I2C component. It can read back the data stored in the latches
for verification. Readback will support standard SMBUS controller protocol. The number of bytes to
readback is defined by writing to byte 8.
When writing to byte 11 - 12, and byte 13 - 14, they must be written as a set. If for example, only byte
14 is written but not 15, neither byte 14 or 15 will load into the receiver.
The data transfer rate supported by this clock generator is 100K bits/sec or less (standard mode)
The input is operating at 3.3V logic levels.
The data byte format is 8 bit bytes.
To simplify the clock generator I2C interface, the protocol is set to use only Block-Writes from the
controller. The bytes must be accessed in sequential order from lowest to highest byte with the ability to
stop after any complete byte has been transferred. The Command code and Byte count shown above must
be sent, but the data is ignored for those two bytes. The data is loaded until a Stop sequence is issued.
At power-on, all registers are set to a default condition, as shown.

are unused registers writing to these registers

To program the VCO frequency for over-clocking.
0. Before trying to program our clock manually, consider using ICS provided software utilities for easy
programming.
1. Select the frequency you want to over-clock from with the desire gear ratio (i.e. CPU:SDRAM:3V66:PCI ratio) by
writing to byte 0, or using initial hardware power up frequency.
2. Write 0001, 1001 (19H) to byte 8 for readback of 21 bytes (byte 0-20).
3. Read back byte 11-20 and copy values in these registers.
4. Re-initialize the write sequence.
5. Write a '1' to byte 9 bit 7 and write to byte 11 & 12 with the desired VCO & REF divider values.
6. Write to byte 13 to 20 with the values you copy from step 3. This maintains the output spread, skew and slew
rate.
7. The above procedure is only needed when changing the VCO for the 1st pass. If VCO frequency needed to be
changed again, user only needs to write to byte 11 and 12 unless the system is to reboot.
Note:
1. User needs to ensure step 3 & 7 is carried out. Systems with wrong spread percentage and/or group to group skew
relation programmed into bytes 13-16 could be unstable. Step 3 & 7 assure the correct spread and skew relationship.
2. If VCO, REF divider values or phase detector stability are out of range, the device may fail to function correctly.
3. Follow min and max VCO frequency range provided. Internal PLL could be unstable if VCO frequency is too fast or
too slow. Use 14.31818MHz x VCO/REF divider values to calculate the VCO frequency (MHz).
4. ICS recommends users, to utilize the software utility provided by ICS Application Engineering to program the VCO
frequency.
5. Spread percent needs to be calculated based on VCO frequency, spread modulation frequency and spreadamount
desired. See Application note for software support.

Shared Pin Operation Input/Output Pins
Figure 1 shows a means of implementing this function
when a switch or 2 pin header is used. With no jumper is
installed the pin will be pulled high. With the jumper in
place the pin will be pulled low. If programmability is not
necessary, than only a single resistor is necessary. The
programming resistors should be located close to the
series termination resistor to minimize the current loop
area. It is more important to locate the series termination
resistor close to the driver than the programming resistor.
The I/O pins designated by (input/output) on the ICS94236
serve as dual signal functions to the device. During initial
power-up, they act as input pins. The logic level (voltage)
that is present on these pins at this time is read and
stored into a 5-bit internal data latch. At the end of PowerOn reset, (see AC characteristics for timing values), the
device changes the mode of operations for these pins to
an output function. In this mode the pins produce the
specified buffered clocks to external loads.
To program (load) the internal configuration register for
these pins, a resistor is connected to either the VDD
(logic 1) power supply or the GND (logic 0) voltage
potential. A 10 Kilohm (10K) resistor is used to provide
both the solid CMOS programming voltage needed during
the power-up programming period and to provide an
insignificant load on the output clock during the subsequent
operating period.

PD# Timing Diagram
The power down selection is used to put the part into a very low power state without turning off the power to the part.
PD# is an asynchronous active low input. This signal needs to be synchronized internal to the device prior to powering
down the clock synthesizer.
Internal clocks are not running after the device is put in power down. When PD# is active low all clocks need to be driven
to a low value and held prior to turning off the VCOs and crystal. The power up latency needs to be less than 3 mS.
The power down latency should be as short as possible but conforming to the sequence requirements shown below.
CPU_STOP# is considered to be a don't care during the power down operations. The REF and 48MHz clocks are
expected to be stopped in the LOW state as soon as possible. Due to the state of the internal logic, stopping and holding
the REF clock outputs in the LOW state may require more than one clock cycle to complete.
Notes:
1. All timing is referenced to the Internal CPUCLK (defined as inside the ICS94236 device).
2. As shown, the outputs Stop Low on the next falling edge after PD# goes low.
3. PD# is an asynchronous input and metastable conditions may exist. This signal is synchronized inside this part.
4. The shaded sections on the VCO and the Crystal signals indicate an active clock.
5. Diagrams shown with respect to 133MHz. Similar operation when CPU is 100MHz.

ICS94236
CPU_STOP# Timing Diagram
CPU_STOP# is an asychronous input to the clock synthesizer. It is used to turn off the CPU clocks for low power
operation. CPU_STOP# is synchronized by the ICS94236. The minimum that the CPU clock is enabled (CPU_STOP#
high pulse) is 100 CPU clocks. All other clocks will continue to run while the CPU clocks are disabled. The CPU clocks
will always be stopped in a low state and start in such a manner that guarantees the high pulse width is a full pulse.
CPU clock on latency is less than 4 CPU clocks and CPU clock off latency is less than 4 CPU clocks.
Notes:
1. All timing is referenced to the internal CPU clock.
2. CPU_STOP# is an asynchronous input and metastable conditions may exist. This signal is
synchronized to the CPU clocks inside the ICS94236.
3. All other clocks continue to run undisturbed.
