Frequency Select Pins (FS_A, FS_B)
Host clock frequency selection is achieved by applying the
appropriate logic levels to FS_A and FS_B inputs prior to
VTT_PWRGD# assertion (as seen by the clock synthesizer).
Upon VTT_PWRGD# being sampled low by the clock chip
(indicating processor VTT voltage is stable), the clock chip
samples the FS_A and FS_B input values. For all logic levels
of FS_A and FS_B except MID, VTT_PWRGD# employs a
one-shot functionality in that once a valid low on
VTT_PWRGD# has been sampled low, all further
VTT_PWRGD#, FS_A and FS_B transitions will be ignored. In
the case where FS_B is at mid level when VTT_PWRGD# is
sampled low, the clock chip will assume “Test Clock Mode”.
Once “Test Clock Mode” has been invoked, all further FS_B
transitions will be ignored and FS_A will asynchronously
select between the Hi-Z and REF/N mode. Exiting test mode
is accomplished by cycling power with FS_B in a high or low
state.
Serial Data Interface
To enhance the flexibility and function of the clock synthesizer,
a two-signal serial interface is provided. Through the Serial
Data Interface, various device functions, such as individual
clock output buffers, can be individually enabled or disabled.
The registers associated with the Serial Data Interface
initializes to their default setting upon power-up, and therefore
use of this interface is optional. Clock device register changes
are normally made upon system initialization, if any are
required. The interface cannot be used during system
operation for power management functions.
Data Protocol
The clock driver serial protocol accepts byte write, byte read,
block write, and block read operations from the controller. For
block write/read operation, the bytes must be accessed in se-
quential order from lowest to highest byte (most significant bit
first) with the ability to stop after any complete byte has been
transferred. For byte write and byte read operations, the sys-
tem controller can access individually indexed bytes. The off-
set of the indexed byte is encoded in the command code, as
described in Table 3.
The block write and block read protocol is outlined in Table 4
while Table 5 outlines the corresponding byte write and byte
read protocol. The slave receiver address is 11010010 (D2h).
