PHANTOM CLOCK
REGISTER INFORMATION
The Phantom Clock information is contained in 8 regis-
ters of 8 bits, each of which is sequentially accessed one
bit at a time after the 64–bit pattern recognition se-
quence has been completed. When updating the Phan-
tom Clock registers, each register must be handled in
groups of 8 bits. Writing and reading individual bits with-
in a register could produce erroneous results. These
read/write registers are defined in Figure 2.
Data contained in the Phantom Clock register is in
binary coded decimal format (BCD). Reading and writ-
ing the registers is always accomplished by stepping
through all 8 registers, starting with bit 0 of register 0 and
ending with bit 7 of register 7.

VALUE
NOTE:
The pattern recognition in Hex is C5, 3A, A3, 5C, C5, 3A, A3, 5C. The odds of this pattern being accidentally dupli-
cated and causing inadvertent entry to the Phantom Clock is less than 1 in 10
19
. This pattern is sent to the Phantom
Clock LSB to MSB.
