7.5. Clock

There are six Trident input clocks:

Four SerDes reference clocks: CML clocks at 156.25MHz. One clock per Warp
Core group. XG_PLL[3:0].

PCIe reference clock: 100MHz differential.

Core clock: 25MHz CML.


The Trident switch runs in a self running mode without backplane sync clocks.
The Trident provides the two reference clocks RECOV_CLK_0/1 recovered from its
SerDes ports for any global sync purpose, which is now unused. The board level clock
tree is described in Section 11.


7.6. Other Interfaces

7.6.1. MDC/MDIO: MIIM

The Trident contains one CPU Management Interface Controller ((CMIC) supporting

IEEE 802.3u standard MII management (MIIM) interface, so called MDC/MDIO interface.
The MDIO interface allows the P2041 LMP to access MDIO devices through the switch.
Such MDIO devices include the RTM PHY devices. The strapping for the MDIO_22_SEL
is set to HIGH (1: 2.5V or 3.3V, 0: 1.2V) to set the MDIO signal level.

7.6.2. BSC (I2C) Interface

The Trident switch provides a Broadcom Serial Control (BSC) interface to communicate

with other devices in I2C compatible format. The signals for the interface are BSC_SCL,
BSC_SDA, BSC_SA0, and BSC_SA1. The operation mode is controlled by BSC_MODE
and is set to be 0. (0: BSC Master, 1: PCI I/F used and BSC Master)
On the blade, however, these signals are not used and left N.C.

7.6.3. LED Control

The LED interface consists of four signals: LED_CLK[1:0], LED_DATA [1:0].

These signals are used to send out the LED control signals based on MAC status data
over the time multiplexed data pins. The LED_CLK operates at 5MHz. LED_DATA[0]
contains the information for Serdes[36:1] and LED_DATA[1] for Serdes[72:37].
DATA[0] format is in 40bits and DATA[1] is in 80bit as shown in Figure 7-3. On the
board, DATA[1] is being used as described in Table 7-3.
