• Manufacturer Part Number: W164
• Description: Spread Spectrum Desktop/notebook System Freqency Generator
• Manufacturer: Cypress Semiconductor Corp.

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

Description
Any individual clock output(s) can be disabled. Dis-
abled outputs are actively held LOW.
Provides CPU/PCI frequency selections beyond the
100- and 66.6-MHz selections that are provided by
the SEL100/66# pin. Frequency is changed in a
smooth and controlled fashion.
Puts all clock outputs into a high-impedance state. Production PCB testing.
All clock outputs toggle in relation to X1 input, inter-
nal PLL is bypassed. Refer to Table 4.
Reserved function for future device revision or pro-
duction device testing.

chipset. Clock device register changes are normally made
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 Table 3.

Common Application
Unused outputs are disabled to reduce EMI
and system power. Examples are clock out-
puts to unused PCI slots.
For alternate microprocessors and power
management options. Smooth frequency tran-
sition allows CPU frequency change under
normal system operation.
Production PCB testing.
No user application. Register bit must be writ-
ten as 0.
