2.2 SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
2.2.1 BASIC CLOCKS AND RESETS
SYSRSTI
System Reset/Powergood.This input is
low when the reset switch is depressed. Other-
wise, it reflects the power supply’s power good
signal. SYSRSTI is asynchronous to all clocks,
and acts as a negative active reset. The reset cir-
cuit initiates a hard reset on the rising edge of
SYSRSTI.
SYSRSTO#
Reset Output to System. This is the
system resetsignal and is used to reset the rest of
the components (not on Host bus) in the system.
The ISA bus reset is an externally inverted buff-
ered version of this output and the PCI bus resetis
an externally buffered version of this output.
XTALI
14.3MHz Crystal Input
XTALO
14.3MHz Crystal Output. These pins are
the 14.318MHz crystal input; This clock isused as
the reference clock for the internal frequency syn-
thesizer
to
generate
GCLK2X and DCLK clocks.
A 14.318 MHz Series Cut Quartz Crystal should
be connected between these two pins. Balance
capacitors of 15 pF should also be added. In the
event ofan external oscillatorproviding the master
clock signal to the STPC Consumer device, the
TTL signal should be provided on XTALO.
the
HCLK,
CLK24M,
HCLK
Host Clock. This is the host 1X clock. Its
frequency can vary from 25 to 75 MHz. All host
transactions and PCI transactions are synchro-
nized to this clock. The DRAM controller to exe-
cute the host transactions is also driven by this
clock. In normal mode, this output clock is gener-
ated by the internal pll.
GCLK2X
80MHz Graphics Clock. This is the
Graphics 2X clock, which drives the graphics en-
gine and the DRAM controller to execute the
graphics and display cycles.
Normally GCLK2Xis generated by the internal fre-
quency synthesizer, and this pin is an output. By
setting a bit in Strap Register 2, this pin can be
made an input so that an external clock can re-
place the internal frequency synthesizer.
PCI_CLKI
33MHz PCI Input Clock
This signal is the PCI bus clock input and should
be driven from the PCI_CLKO pin.
PCI_CLKO
33MHz PCI Output Clock. This is the
master PCI bus clock output.
DCLK
135MHz Dot Clock. This is the dot clock,
which drivesgraphics display cycles. Its frequency
can go from 8MHz (using internal PLL) up to 135
MHz, and it is required to have a worst case duty
cycle of 60-40.
This signal iseither drivenby the internal pll (VGA)
or an external 27MHz oscillator (when the com-
posite video output is enabled). The direction can
be controlled by a strap optionor an internal regis-
ter bit.
ISA_CLK
ISA Clock Output (also Multiplexer Se-
lect Line For IPC). This pin produces the Clock
signal for the ISA bus. It is also used with
ISA_CLK2X asthe multiplexorcontrol lines for the
Interrupt Controller Interrupt input lines. This is a
divided down version of either the PCICLK or
OSC14M.
ISA_CLKX2
ISA Clock Output (also Multiplexer
Select Line For IPC). This pin produces a signal
that is twice the frequency of the ISA bus Clock
signal. It is also used with ISA_CLK as the multi-
plexor control lines for the Interrupt Controller in-
put lines.
DEV_CLK
24MHz Peripheral Clock Output. This
24MHZ signal is provided as a convenience for
the system integration of a Floppy Disk driver
function in an external chip.
OSC14M
ISA bus synchronisation clock Output.
This is the buffered 14.318 Mhz clock to the ISA
bus.
2.2.2 MEMORY INTERFACE
MA[11:0]
Memory Address Output.These 12 mul-
tiplexed memory address pins support external
DRAM with up to 4K refresh. These include all
16M x N and some 4M x N DRAM modules. The
address signals must be externally buffered to
support more than 16 DRAM chips. The timing of
these signals can be adjusted by software to
match the timings of most DRAM modules.
