4.1. Clock Generation
Two clock generator components are required in an Intel 820E chipset-based system. The Direct
RDRAM clock generator (DRCG) generates clock for the Direct RDRAM interface, while the CK133
component generates clocks for the rest of the system. Clock synthesizers that meet the Intel CK98 Clock
Specification are suitable for an Intel 820E chipset-based system. The CK133 generates the clocks listed
in the following table.

The CK133 is a mixed-voltage component. Some of the output clocks are 3.3 V, and some of the output
clocks are 2.5 V. As a result, the CK133 device requires both 3.3 V and 2.5 V. These power supplies
should be a clean as possible. Noise in the power delivery system for the clock driver can cause noise on
the clock lines.
