CPU_STP# Assertion
The CPU_STP# signal is an active low input used for
synchronous stopping and starting the CPU output clocks
while the rest of the clock generator continues to function.
When the CPU_STP# pin is asserted, all CPU outputs that are
set with the SMBus configuration to be stoppable via assertion
of CPU_STP# will be stopped after being sampled by 2-6
rising edges of the internal CPUC clock. The final state of the
stopped CPU clock is Low due to tristate, both CPUT and
CPUC outputs will not be driven.
CPU_STP# De-Assertion
The de-assertion of the CPU_STP# signal will cause all CPU
outputs that were stopped to resume normal operation in a
synchronous manner. Synchronous manner meaning that no
short or stretched clock pulses will be produce when the clock
resumes. The maximum latency from the de-assertion to
active outputs is between 2-6 CPU clock periods (2 clocks are
shown). If the control register tristate bit corresponding to the
output of interest is programmed to '1', then the stopped CPU
outputs will be driven high within 10ns of CPU_Stop#
de-assertion to a voltage greater than 200mV.
PCI_STP# Clarification
The PCI_STP# signal is an active low input used for cleanly
stopping and starting the PCI and PCIEX outputs while the rest
of the clock generator continues to function. The PCIF and
PCIEX clocks are special in that they can be programmed to
ignore PCI_STP# by setting the register bit corresponding to
the output of interest to free running. Outputs set to free
running will ignore both the PCI_STP# pin.
PCI_STP# Assertion
The impact of asserting the PCI_STP# signal will be the
following. The clock chip is to sample the PCI_STP# signal on
a rising edge of PCIF clock. After detecting the PCI_STP#
assertion low, all PCI and stoppable PCIF clocks will latch low
on their next high to low transition. After the PCI clocks are
latched low, the stoppable PCIEX clocks will latch to low due
to tristate as show below. The one PCI clock latency as shown
is critical to system functionality, any violation of this may result
in system failure. The Tsu_pci_stp# is the setup time required
