Overview

The W144 was developed as a single-chip device to meet the clocking needs of the Intel 440BX AGPset. In addition to the typical outputs provided by standard 100-MHz 440BX FTGs, the W144 adds a thirteen output buffer, supporting SDRAM DIMM modules in conjunction with the chipset.

Cypress’s proprietary spread spectrum frequency synthesis technique is a feature of the CPU and PCI outputs. When enabled, this feature reduces the peak EMI measurements of not only the output signals and their harmonics, but also of any other clock signals that are properly synchronized to them.
