Pin Description
CPU Clock Outputs 0 through 1:
These two CPU clocks run at a frequency set by
SEL100/66#. Output voltage swing is set by the voltage applied to VDDQ2.
PCI Clock Outputs 1 through 6 and PCI_F:
These seven PCI clock outputs run
synchronously to the CPU clock. Voltage swing is set by the power connection to
VDDQ3.
I/O APIC Clock Output:
Provides 14.318-MHz fixed frequency. The output voltage
swing is set by the power connection to VDDQ2.
48-MHz Output:
Fixed 48-MHz USB clock. Output voltage swing is controlled by
voltage applied to VDDQ3.
24-MHz or 48-MHz Output:
Frequency is set by the state of pin 27 on power-up.
I/O Dual-Function REF2X and SEL48# pin:
Upon power-up, the state of SEL48#
is latched. The initial state is set by either a 10K resistor to GND or to V
DD
. A 10K
resistor to GND causes pin 14 to output 48 MHz. If the pin is strapped to V
DD
, pin
14 will output 24 MHz. After 2 ms, the pin becomes a high-drive output that produces
a copy of 14.318 MHz.

Selects CPU clock frequency as shown in

page 1.

Crystal Connection or External Reference Frequency Input:
Connect to either
a 14.318-MHz crystal or other reference signal.
Crystal Connection:
An input connection for an external 14.318-MHz crystal. If
using an external reference, this pin must be left unconnected.
Power Connection:
Power supply for core logic and PLL circuitry, PCI, 48-/24-MHz,
and Reference output buffers. Connect to 3.3V supply.
Power Connection:
Power supply for IOAPIC and CPU output buffers. Connect to
2.5V supply.
Ground Connections:
Connect all ground pins to the common system ground
plane.
l/O pin is then latched. Next the output buffer is enabled which
converts the l/O pin into an operating clock output. The 2-ms
timer is started when V
DD
reaches 2.0V. The input bit can only
be reset by turning V
DD
off and then back on again.
It should be noted that the strapping resistor has no significant
effect on clock output signal integrity. The drive impedance of
clock output is 25Ω (nominal) which is minimally affected by
the 10-kΩ strap to ground or V
DD
. As with the series termina-
tion resistor, the output strapping resistor should be placed as
close to the l/O pin as possible in order to keep the intercon-
necting trace short. The trace from the resistor to ground or
V
DD
should be kept less than two inches in length to prevent
system noise coupling during input logic sampling.
When the clock output is enabled following the 2-ms input pe-
riod, a 14.318-MHz output frequency is delivered on the pin,
assuming that V
DD
has stabilized. If V
DD
has not yet reached
full value, output frequency initially may be below target but will
increase to target once V
DD
voltage has stabilized. In either
case, a short output clock cycle may be produced from the
CPU clock outputs when the outputs are enabled.

Functional Description
I/O Pin Operation
Pin 27 is a dual-purpose l/O pin. Upon power-up this pin acts
as a logic input, allowing the determination of assigned device
functions. A short time after power-up, the logic state of the pin
is latched and the pin becomes a clock output. This feature
reduces device pin count by combining clock outputs with in-
put select pins.
An external 10-kΩ “strapping” resistor is connected between
the l/O pin and ground or V
DD
. Connection to ground sets a
latch to “0,” connection to V
DD
sets a latch to “1.”
Figure 1
and
Figure 2
show two suggested methods for strapping resistor
connections.
Upon W164 power-up, the first 2 ms of operation is used for
input logic selection. During this period, the Reference clock
output buffer is three-stated, allowing the output strapping re-
sistor on the l/O pin to pull the pin and its associated capacitive
clock load to either a logic HIGH or LOW state. At the end of
the 2-ms period, the established logic “0” or “1” condition of the

Serial Data Interface
The W164 features a two-pin, serial data interface that can be
used to configure internal register settings that control partic-
ular device functions. Upon power-up, the W164 initializes
with default register settings. Therefore, the use of this serial
data interface is optional. The serial interface is write-only (to
the clock chip) and is the dedicated function of device pins
SDATA and SCLOCK. In motherboard applications, SDATA
and SCLOCK are typically driven by two logic outputs of the

upon system initialization, if required. The interface can also
be used during system operation for power management func-
tions.
Table 2
summarizes the control functions of the serial
data interface.
Operation
Data is written to the W164 in ten bytes of eight bits each.
Bytes are written in the order shown in

Byte Description
Commands the W164 to accept the bits in Data Bytes 3–6 for internal
register configuration. Since other devices may exist on the same com-
mon serial data bus, it is necessary to have a specific slave address for
each potential receiver. The slave receiver address for the W164 is
11010010. Register setting will not be made if the Slave Address is not
correct (or is for an alternate slave receiver).
Unused by the W164, therefore bit values are ignored (“don’t care”). This
byte must be included in the data write sequence to maintain proper byte
allocation. The Command Code Byte is part of the standard serial com-
munication protocol and may be used when writing to another addressed
slave receiver on the serial data bus.

Writing Data Bytes
Each bit in the data bytes controls a particular device function
except for the “reserved” bits, which must be written as a logic
0. Bits are written MSB (most significant bit) first, which is bit
7.
