PCI EXPRESS™ CLOCK GENERATOR
SERIAL DATA INTERFACE
DATA PROTOCOL
To enhance the flexibility and function of the clock synthe-
sizer, a two-signal serial interface is provided. Through the
Serial Data Interface, various device functions, such as
individual clock output buffers, can be individually enabled
or disabled. The registers associated with the Serial Data
Interface initialize to their default setting upon power-up,
and therefore, use of this interface is optional. Clock device
register changes are normally made upon system initial-
ization, if any are required. The interface cannot be used
during system operation for power management functions.
The clock driver serial protocol accepts byte write, byte
read, block write, and block read operations from the con-
troller. For block write/read operation, the bytes must be
accessed in sequential order from lowest to highest byte
(most significant bit first) with the ability to stop after any
complete byte has been transferred. For byte write and byte
read operations, the system controller can access individu-
ally indexed bytes. The offset of the indexed byte is en-
coded in the command code, as described in Table 3A.
The block write and block read protocol is outlined in Table
3B, while Table 3C outlines the corresponding byte write
and byte read protocol. The slave receiver address is
11010010 (D2h).

Description
0 = Block read or block write operation, 1 = Byte read or byte write operation.
Chip select address, set to "00" to access device.

Byte offset for byte read or byte write operation. For block read or block write operations, these bits must be
"00000".
