The ICS9248-50 is the Main clock solution for Notebook designs using the Intel 440BX style chipset.  Along with an SDRAM buffer such as the ICS9179-03, it provides all necessary clock signals for such a system.

Spread spectrum may be enabled by driving pin 26, SPREAD# active (Low) at power-on. Spread spectrum typically reduces system EMI by 8dB to 10dB. This simplifies EMI qualification without resorting to board design iterations or costly shielding. The ICS9248-50 employs a proprietary closed loop design, which tightly controls the percentage of spreading over process and temperature variations.
