How to Program CPU Output Frequency
When the programmable output frequency feature is enabled
(Pro_Freq_EN bit is set), the CPU output frequency is deter-
mined by the following equation:
Fcpu = G * (N+3)/(M+3)
“N” and “M” are the values programmed in Programmable
Frequency Select N-Value Register and M-Value Register,
respectively.
“G” stands for the PLL Gear Constant, which is determined by
the programmed value of FS[4:0] or SEL[4:0]. The value is
listed in Table 5. The ratio of (N+3) and (M+3) need to be
greater than “1” [(N+3)/(M+3) > 1].
Table 7 lists set of N and M values for different frequency
output ranges.This example use a fixed value for the M-Value
Register and select the CPU output frequency by changing the
value of the N-Value Register.
FS_Override When Pro_Freq_EN is cleared or disabled,
0 = Select operating frequency by FS input pins (default)
1 = Select operating frequency by SEL bits in SMBus control bytes
When Pro_Freq_EN is set or enabled,
0 = Frequency output ratio between CPU and other frequency groups and the PLL Gear Constant are
based on the latched value of FS input pins (default)
1 = Frequency output ratio between CPU and other frequency groups and the PLL Gear Constant are
based on the programmed value of SEL bits in SMBus control bytes
CPU_FSEL_N,
CPU_FSEL_M
ROCV_FREQ_SEL
When Prog_Freq_EN is set or enabled, the values programmed in CPU_FSEL_N[7:0] and CPU_F-
SEL_M[6:0] determines the CPU output frequency. The new frequency will start to load whenever there
is an update to either CPU_FSEL_N[7:0] or CPU_FSEL_M[6:0]. Therefore, it is recommended to use
Word or Block write to update both registers within the same SMBus bus operation.
The setting of FS_Override bit determines the frequency ratio for CPU, AGP and PCI. When
FS_Override is cleared or disabled, the frequency ratio follows the latched value of the FS input pins.
When FS_Override is set or enabled, the frequency ratio follows the programmed value of SEL bits in
SMBus control bytes.
ROCV_FREQ_SEL determines the source of the recover frequency when a Watchdog Timer timeout
occurs. The clock generator will automatically switch to the recovery CPU frequency based on the
selection on ROCV_FREQ_SEL.
0 = From latched FS[4:0]
1 = From the settings of ROCV_FREQ_N[7:0] & ROCV_FREQ_M[6:0]
WD_PRE_SCALER 0 = 150 ms
1 = 2.5 sec
RST_EN_WD This bit will enable the generation of a Reset pulse when a Watchdog timer time-out occurs.
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
RST_EN_FC This bit will enable the generation of a Reset pulse after a frequency change occurs.
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
