12 | Description | ||
13 | ----------- | ||
14 | |||
15 | This driver implements support for the IDT ICS932S401 chip family. | ||
16 | |||
17 | This chip has 4 clock outputs--a base clock for the CPU (which is likely | ||
18 | multiplied to get the real CPU clock), a system clock, a PCI clock, a USB | ||
19 | clock, and a reference clock. The driver reports selected and actual | ||
20 | frequency. If spread spectrum mode is enabled, the driver also reports by what | ||
21 | percent the clock signal is being spread, which should be between 0 and -0.5%. | ||
22 | All frequencies are reported in KHz. | ||
23 | |||
24 | The ICS932S401 monitors all inputs continuously. The driver will not read | ||
25 | the registers more often than once every other second. | ||
26 | |||
27 | Special Features | ||
28 | ---------------- | ||
29 | |||
30 | The clocks could be reprogrammed to increase system speed. I will not help you | ||
31 | do this, as you risk damaging your system! | ||
