System Clocks

Figure 4–6 AlphaPC 164SX System Clocks

At system reset, the clock synthesizer is programmed to provide a 400-MHz clock to
the 21164PC

.

The

IRQ

pins in the 21164PC

are either pulled up or down to set the

internal driver to divide by 6, providing a system clock of 66 MHz (sys_clk_out1).

If an operating frequency other than 400 MHz is selected by the configuration
switches, the boot code changes the synthesizer output; the 21174 drives the correct
divide ratio onto the IRQ lines and resets the CPU. If an invalid speed setting is
selected, the system defaults to the operating speed of 400 MHz.
