Serial Data Interface
The W209C features a two-pin, serial data interface that can
be used to configure internal register settings that control par-
ticular device functions.
Data Protocol
The clock driver serial protocol accepts only block writes from
the controller. The bytes must be accessed in sequential order
from lowest to highest byte with the ability to stop after any
complete byte has been transferred. Indexed bytes are not
allowed.
A block write begins with a slave address and a write condition.
After the command code the core logic issues a byte count
which describes how many more bytes will follow in the mes-
sage. If the host had 20 bytes to send, the first byte would be
the number 20 (14h), followed by the 20 bytes of data. The
byte count may not be 0. A block write command is allowed to
transfer a maximum of 32 data bytes. The slave receiver ad-
dress for W209C is 11010010. Figure 7 shows an example of
a block write.
The command code and the byte count bytes are required as
the first two bytes of any transfer. W209C expects a command
code of 0000 0000. The byte count byte is the number of ad-
ditional bytes required for the transfer, not counting the com-
mand code and byte count bytes. Additionally, the byte count
byte is required to be a minimum of 1 byte and a maximum of
32 bytes to satisfy the above requirement. Table 2 shows an
example of a possible byte count value.
A transfer is considered valid after the acknowledge bit corre-
sponding to the byte count is read by the controller. The com-
mand code and byte count bytes are ignored by the W209C.
However, these bytes must be included in the data write se-
quence to maintain proper byte allocation.

Table 3. Serial Data Interface Control Functions Summary
Control Function
Description
Output Disable
Any individual clock output(s) can be disabled.
Disabled outputs are actively held LOW.
(Reserved)
Reserved function for future device revision or
production device testing.
Notes:
6. The acknowledgment bit is returned by the slave/receiver (W209C).
7. Bytes 6 and 7 are not defined for W209C.
Common Application
Unused outputs are disabled to reduce EMI and sys-
tem power. Examples are clock outputs to unused
PCI slots.
No user application. Register bit must be written as 0.
