ICS94230BF

Overview

The ICS94230BF is a programmable clock generator IC from Renesas Electronics, designed primarily for AMD CPU applications. It operates on a single 3.3V supply voltage and supports surface-mount installation in a 48-BSSOP package (7.50mm width). The device functions as a dedicated clock chip without an integrated PLL, targeting specific timing requirements for AMD processor architectures within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for AMD CPU clock generation
• Operates at 3.3V supply voltage
• Available in 48-SSOP surface-mount package

Applications

• AMD CPU system clock generation
• Computer motherboard timing circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact revision level and packaging type (tape and reel vs. tube) when sourcing, as these details are not specified in the provided parameters. Confirm compatibility with the specific AMD processor model intended for use, as this component is application-specific.

Selection Notes

Select this component only if the design requires a clock generator specifically optimized for AMD CPUs. Ensure the system operates within the 0°C to 70°C temperature range and utilizes a 3.3V power rail. Alternative general-purpose clock generators may require additional external components or lack the specific AMD optimization.

Part Context

This part belongs to Renesas' Application Specific Clock/Timing category. It is distinct from general-purpose clock synthesizers by its targeted design for AMD architecture, lacking a built-in PLL but offering a fixed solution for specific mainboard designs.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitutes are listed in the source material. Any replacement must match the 48-SSOP footprint, 3.3V operation, and AMD CPU compatibility.
