Pin Description
CPU Clock Outputs 0 through 6:
These seven CPU clocks run at a frequency set
by SEL133/100#. Output voltage swing is set by the voltage applied to VDDQ2. For
4-way SMP systems that do not require more than 5 CPU outputs, CPU5 and CPU6
can be disabled by asserting 6W/4W# during power-up.
Synchronous Memory Reference Clock Output 0 through 1:
Reference clock
for Direct RDRAM clock generators running at 1/2 CPU clock frequency. Output
voltage swing is set by the voltage applied to VDDQ2. For systems using SDRAM,
CPUdiv2_0:1 output can be disabled by tying VDDQ2 on pin 30 to GND.
33 MHz Fixed-Frequency Output:
These are fixed-frequency outputs that can be
used to drive PCI devices.
14.318 MHz Reference Clock Output/APIC Speed Select:
During normal opera-
tions, this is a 3.3V 14.318-MHz reference output. During power-up, it is sampled
to determine the operating frequency of APIC. If the sample is a “1,” APIC will be
set at CPU/4. If it is a “0,” APIC will be fixed at 16.667 MHz.
14.318 MHz Reference Clock Output/Test Mode:
During normal operations, this
is a 3.3V 14.318-MHz reference output. The input is sampled at power-up to
determine if the device should initialize for normal operations or test mode.
Synchronous I/OAPIC Clock Outputs:
APIC output frequency is determined by
FIXAPIC# strapping. For 4-way SMP systems that do not require more than 5 APIC
outputs, APIC5 and APIC6 can be disabled by asserting 4W/6W# during power up.
48 MHz Output:
Fixed 48-MHz USB output. Output voltage swing is controlled by
voltage applied to VDDQ3.
66 MHz Output 0 through 3:
Fixed 66-MHz outputs.
Frequency Selection Input:
3.3V LVTTL-compatible input that selects CPU output
frequency as shown in
Table 1.
Crystal Connection or External Reference Frequency Input:
Connect to either
a 14.318-MHz crystal or other reference signal.
Crystal Connection:
An output connection for an external 14.318-MHz crystal. If
using an external reference, this pin must be left unconnected.
4-way/6-way Output Select:
This input can be changed after initialization and has
an internal pull-up resistor. If left unconnected during power-up, the outputs are
configured so that all CPU and APIC outputs are active. If it is pulled down during
power-up, CPU5:6 and APIC5:6 will be disabled.
Active LOW Spread Spectrum Enable:
3.3V LVTTL-compatible input that enables
spread spectrum mode when held LOW.
Active LOW Power Down Input:
3.3V LVTTL-compatible asynchronous input that
requests the device to enter power down mode.

provides skew-controlled PCI and IOAPIC clocks
synchronous to CPU clock, 48-MHz Universal Serial Bus
(USB) clock, and replicates the 14.31818-MHz reference
clock.
All CPU, PCI, and IOAPIC clocks can be synchronously
modulated for spread spectrum operations. Cypress employs
proprietary techniques that provide the maximum EMI
reduction while minimizing the clock skews that could reduce
Overview
The W159B is designed to provide the essential frequency
sources to work with advanced multiprocessing Intel® archi-
tecture platforms. Split voltage supply signaling provides 2.5V
and 3.3V clock frequencies operating up to 133 MHz.
From a low-cost 14.31818-MHz reference crystal oscillator,
the W159B generates 2.5V clock outputs to support CPUs,
core logic chip set, and Direct RDRAM clock generators. It also

system timing margins. The use of spread spectrum
modulation is controlled by an external signal input.
The W159B also includes power management control inputs.
By using these inputs, system logic can stop CPU and/or PCI
clocks or power down the entire device to conserve system
power.
and the frequency deviation or spread. The equation for the
reduction is
dB = 6.5 + 9*log
10
(P) + 9*log
10
(F)
Where P is the percentage of deviation and F is the frequency
in MHz where the reduction is measured.
The output clock is modulated with a waveform depicted in
Figure 2.
This waveform, as discussed in “Spread Spectrum
Clock Generation for the Reduction of Radiated Emissions” by
Bush, Fessler, and Hardin produces the maximum reduction
in the amplitude of radiated electromagnetic emissions. The
deviation selected for this chip is –0.5% downspread.

details the Cypress spreading pattern. Cypress does offer
options with more spread and greater EMI reduction. Contact
your local Sales representative for details on these devices.
Spread Spectrum clocking is activated or deactivated by
selecting the appropriate values for the SPREAD# input pin.
Spread Spectrum Generator
The device generates a clock that is frequency modulated in
order to increase the bandwidth that it occupies. By increasing
the bandwidth of the fundamental and its harmonics, the ampli-
tudes of the radiated electromagnetic emissions are reduced.
This effect is depicted in
Figure 1.
As shown in
Figure 1,
a harmonic of a modulated clock has a
much lower amplitude than that of an unmodulated signal. The
reduction in amplitude is dependent on the harmonic number

Notes:
2. LOW means outputs held static LOW as per latency requirement below.
3. ON means active.
4. PWRDWN# pulled LOW, impacts all outputs including REF and 48-MHz outputs.
5. Power-up latency is when PWRDWN# goes inactive (HIGH) to when the first valid clocks are driven from the device.
6. All internal timing is referenced to the CPUCLK.
7. The internal label means inside the chip and is a reference only. This, in fact, may not be the way that the control is designed.
8. PWRDWN is an asynchronous input and metastable conditions could exist. This signal is synchronized by the W159B internally.
9. The shaded sections on the VCO and the Crystal signals indicate an active clock.
10. Diagrams shown with respect to 133 MHz. Similar operation when CPUCLK is 100 MHz.
