W137
Overview
The W137 was developed to meet the Intel® Mobile Clock
specification for the BX chipset, including Super I/O and USB
support. The W40S11-02 is the Intel-defined companion part
used for driving 2 SDRAM DIMM modules. Please see that
data sheet for additional information.
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.
The –0.5% modulation profile matches that defined as accept-
able in Intel’s clock specification.
Figure 2
show two suggested methods for strapping resistor
connection.
Upon W137 power-up, the first 2 ms of operation is used for
input logic selection. During this period, the output buffers are
three-stated, allowing the output strapping resistor on each l/O
pin to pull the pin and its associated 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 pin is
then latched. Next, the output buffers are enabled, which con-
verts both l/O pins into operating clock outputs. The 2-ms timer
is started when V
DD
reaches 2.0V. The input latches can only
be reset by turning V
DD
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 V
DD
. As with the se-
ries 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 V
DD
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 assuming
that V
DD
has stabilized. If V
DD
has not yet reached full value,
output frequency initially may be below target but will increase
to target once V
DD
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 14, 26, and 27 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 V
DD
. Connection to ground sets a
latch to “0”, connection to V
DD
sets a latch to “1”.
