Preliminary Information
AMD Athlon™ XP Processor Model 10 Data Sheet | 26237C— May 2003 |
Clock Multiplier | The chipset samples the FID[3:0] signals in a |
Selection (FID[3:0]) | manner from the processor and uses this information to |
| determine the correct serial initialization packet (SIP). The |
| chipset then sends the SIP information to the processor for |
| configuration of the AMD Athlon system bus for the clock |
| multiplier that determines the processor frequency indicated |
| by the FID[3:0] code. The SIP is sent to the processor using the |
| SIP protocol. This protocol uses the PROCRDY, CONNECT, and |
| CLKFWDRST signals, that are synchronous to SYSCLK. |
| For more information about FID[3:0], see “FID[3:0] Pins” on |
| page 74. |
| Serial Initialization Packet (SIP) Protocol. Refer to AMD Athlon™ and |
| AMD Duron™ System Bus Specification, order# 21902 for details |
| of the SIP protocol. |
9.2Processor Warm Reset Requirements
Northbridge Reset RESET# cannot be asserted to the processor without also being
Pinsasserted to the Northbridge. RESET# to the Northbridge is the same as PCI RESET#. The minimum assertion for PCI RESET# is one millisecond. Southbridges enforce a minimum assertion of RESET# for the processor, Northbridge, and PCI of 1.5 to 2.0 milliseconds.
