SYSTEM CLOCK DISTRIBUTION


This system uses clock synthesizers in the IGP and the MCP or MCP-2 components. A 14.31818-
MHz crystal provides an input for clock circuits of the MCP.

Table 4-10 lists clock signals that are distributed between system board components. Frequencies
that are used only internally in chips and components are not listed.

NOTE:

[1] D315 / d325


These systems uses the spread-spectrum feature of the IGP component. This feature allows BIOS
to set a down spread (0.9 % on the D315, 0.5 % on the d325) to lower the possible effects of high
frequency EMI. Clocks affected by the spread include those used by the processor, memory, and
AGP.
