Preliminary Information
6. NB_RESET# should be asserted (causing CONNECT to also
assert) before RESET# is deasserted.
If NB_RESET# does not assert until after RESET# has
deasserted, the processor misinterprets the CONNECT
assertion (due to NB_RESET# being asserted) as the
beginning of the SIP transfer (See “Serial Initialization
Packet (SIP) Protocol” on page 34). There must be sufficient
overlap in the resets to ensure that CONNECT has a chance
to be sampled asserted by the processor in advance of the
processor coming out of reset.
Clock Multiplier
Selection (FID[3:0])
When RESET# is deasserted, the processor selects the
processor clock ratio (multiplier) by driving the FID[3:0]
signals. The system samples the clock multiplier value from
FID[3:0]. For more information, see “FID[3:0] Pins” on page 58.
The system samples the processor clock multiplier value and
other system configuration information when RESET#
deasserts, and uses this value to correctly initialize and
configure the system bus. The system sends the processor its
initialization state in a serial packet using the Serial
Initialization Packet (SIP) protocol. This protocol uses the
PROCRDY, CONNECT, and CLKFWDRST signals, which are
synchronous to SYSCLK.
Serial Initialization Packet (SIP) Protocol. Figure 11 on page 35 shows
the protocol for a typical SIP transfer to the processor after
reset. Table 16 on page 35 describes the requirements for the
SIP transfer from the system to the processor. Processors and
Northbridges are designed to adhere to the following protocol
and do not require motherboard intervention.
