• Manufacturer Part Number: W230H
• Description: Frequency Timing Generators For PC And Server Motherboards
• Manufacturer: Cypress Semiconductor Corp.

Overview
The W230 was developed as a single-chip device to meet the
clocking needs of VIA K7 core logic chip sets. In addition to the
typical outputs provided by a standard FTG, the W230 adds a
thirteenth output buffer, supporting SDRAM DIMM modules in
conjunction with the chipset.
Cypress’s proprietary spread spectrum frequency synthesis
technique is a feature of the CPU and PCI outputs. When en-
abled, this feature reduces the peak EMI measurements of not
only the output signals and their harmonics, but also of any
other clock signals that are properly synchronized to them.
Functional Description
I/O Pin Operation
Pins 7, 8, 25, 26, and 48 are dual-purpose l/O pins. Upon
power-up these pins act as logic inputs, allowing the determi-
nation of assigned device functions. A short time after power-
up, the logic state of each pin is latched and the pins become
clock outputs. This feature reduces device pin count by com-
bining clock outputs with input select pins.

Upon W230 power-up, the first 2 ms of operation is used for
input logic selection. During this period, the five I/O pins (7, 8,
25, 26, 48) are three-stated, allowing the output strapping re-
sistor on the l/O pins to pull the pins and their associated ca-
pacitive clock load to either a logic HIGH or LOW state. At the
end of the 2-ms period, the established logic “0” or “1” condi-
tion of the l/O pin is latched. Next the output buffer is enabled
converting the l/O pins into operating clock outputs. The 2-ms
timer starts when V

It should be noted that the strapping resistors have no signifi-
cant effect on clock output signal integrity. The drive imped-
ance of clock outputs is <40
