Pin Description
CPU Clock Outputs:
Frequency is set by the FS0:1 inputs or through serial input
interface. The CPU output is gated by the CLK_STOP# input.
33-MHz PCI Outputs:
Except for the PCI_F output, these outputs are gated by
the PCI_STOP# input.
Upon power up, FS0 and FS1 is configured momentarily as input latches allowing
various output frequencies to be selected. See
Table 2.
APIC Output:
2.5V fixed 33.3-MHz clock. This output is synchronous to the CPU
clock.

3.3V outputs running at either 100 MHz or 133 MHz
depending on the setting of FS0:1 inputs. DCLK is a free-running clock.

3.3V selectable 48-MHz non-spread spec-
trum or 66.67-MHz spread spectrum clock output.
Power-Down Control:
3.3V LVTTL-compatible input that places the device in
power-down mode when held LOW.
CPU Output Control:
3.3V LVTTL-compatible input that stops only the CPU0
clock. Output remains in the LOW state.

Clock pin for SMBus circuitry.
SMBus Data Input:

Crystal Connection or External Reference Frequency Input:
This pin has dual
functions. It can be used as an external 14.318-MHz crystal connection or as an
external reference frequency input.
Crystal Connection:
Connection for an external 14.318-MHz crystal. If using an
external reference, this pin must be left unconnected.
3.3V Power Connection:
Power supply for core logic, PLL circuitry, SDRAM
outputs buffers, PCI output buffers, reference output buffers and 48-MHz output
buffers. Connect to 3.3V.

Overview
The W254B is a highly integrated frequency timing generator,
supplying all the required clock sources for an Intel® architec-
ture platform using graphics-integrated core logic.
ing clock outputs. The 2-ms timer starts when VDDQ3
reaches 2.0V. The input bits can only be reset by turning
VDDQ3 off and then back on again.
It should be noted that the strapping resistors have no signifi-
cant effect on clock output signal integrity. The drive imped-
ance of the clock output is 40Ω (nominal), which is minimally
affected by the 10-kΩ strap to ground or VDDQ3. As with the
series termination resistor, the output strapping resistor
should be placed as close to the l/O pin as possible in order
to keep the interconnecting trace short. The trace from the
resistor to ground or VDDQ3 should be kept less than two
inches in length to prevent system noise coupling during
input logic sampling.
When the clock outputs are enabled following the 2-ms input
period, target (normal) output frequency is delivered, assum-
ing that VDDQ3 has stabilized. If VDDQ3 has not yet reached
full value, output frequency initially may be below target but
will increase to target once VDDQ3 voltage has stabilized. In
either case, a short output clock cycle may be produced from
the CPU clock outputs when the outputs are enabled.
Functional Description
I/O Pin Operation
Pins 6 and 7 are dual-purpose l/O pins. Upon power-up these
pins act as logic inputs, allowing the determination of
assigned device functions. A short time after power-up, the
logic state of each pin is latched and the pins then become
clock outputs. This feature reduces device pin count by com-
bining clock outputs with input select pins.
An external 10-kΩ “strapping” resistor is connected between
each l/O pin and ground or VDDQ3. Connection to ground
sets a latch to “0”, connection to VDDQ3 sets a latch to “1”.
Figure 1
shows one suggested method for strapping resistor
connection.
Upon W254B power-up, the first 2 ms of operation is used for
input logic selection. During this period, the PCI_F and PCI1
clock output buffers are three-stated, allowing the output
strapping resistor on each l/O pin to pull the pin and its asso-
ciated capacitive clock load to either a logic HIGH or logic
LOW state. At the end of the 2-ms period, the established
logic 0 or 1 condition of each l/O is pin is latched. Next the
output buffers are enabled, converting all l/O pins into operat-

CPU/ SDRAM Frequency Selection
CPU output frequency is selected with I/O pins 6 and 7. For
CPU/SDRAM frequency programming information refer to

Alternatively, frequency selections are available
through the serial data interface.

3. Frequency accuracy of 48 MHz must be +167 PPM to match USB default.
