W161
PRELIMINARY

Overview
The W161, a motherboard clock synthesizer, provides 2.5V
CPU clock outputs for advanced CPU and a CPU-divide-by-2
refere nce frequency for Di rect Rambus
Clock Generat or (such
Cypress W134) int erfa ce. Fix ed output f requencie s are provi ded for other system functions.
CPU Frequency Selection
CPU frequency is selected with input pins 25, 29, and 30
(SEL133/100#, SEL0, and SEL1, re specti vel y). Ref er to Table
1 for detail s.
Output Buffer Configuration
Clock Output s
All clock outputs are designed to drive serial terminated clock
lines. The W161 outputs are CMOS-type, which provide
rail-to-rail output swi ng.
Crystal Oscillator
The W161 requires one input ref erence cl oc k to synt hesiz e all
output frequencies. The reference clock can be either an externally generated clock signal or the clock generated by the
internal crystal oscil lator. When using an e x ternal clo c k sig nal,
pin X1 is used as the clock in put and pin X2 is left open.
The internal crystal oscillator is used in conjunction with a
quartz crystal connected t o de vi ce pins X 1 and X2 . Th is f orms
a parallel resonant crystal oscillator circuit. The W161 incorporates the necessary feedback resistor and crystal load capacitors. Including typical stray circuit capacitance, the total
load presented to the crystal is approximately 18 pF. For optimum frequency accuracy without the addition of external capacitors, a parallel-resonant mode crystal s pecifying a load o f
18 pF sh ould be used . This will t ypically y ield referenc e frequency accuracies within ±100 ppm.
