70 Pin Descriptions Chapter 10
AMD Sempron™ Processor Model 10 with 256K L2 Cache Data Sheet 31994A —1 August 2004
FID[3:0] Pins FID[3] (Y3), FID[2] (Y1), FID[1] (W3), and FID[0] (W1) are the
4-bit processor clock-to-SYSCLK ratio.
Table 21 describes the encodings of the clock multipliers on
FID[3:0].
The FID[3:0] signals are open-drain processor outputs that are
pulled High on the motherboard and sampled by the chipset to
determine the SIP (serial initialization packet) that is sent to
the processor. The FID[3:0] signals are valid after PWROK is
asserted. The FID[3:0]signals must not be sampled until they
become valid. See the AMD Athlon™ and AMD Duron™ System
Bus Specification, order# 21902 for more information about
Serialization Initialization Packets and SIP protocol.
The processor FID[3:0] outputs are open-drain and 2.5-V
tolerant. To prevent damage to the processor, do not pull these

Notes:
1. All ratios greater than or equal to 12.5x have the same FID[3:0] code of 0011b, which causes
the SIP configuration for all ratios of 12.5x or greater to be the same.
2. BIOS initializes the CLK_Ctl MSR during the POST routine. This CLK_Ctl setting is used with all
FID combinations and selects a Halt disconnect divisor and a Stop Grant disconnect divisor.

Software, and Debug Developers Guide, order# 21656.
