Revision Guide for AMD Family 10h Processors

396 VLDT Maximum Current Specification Exceeded at

HyperTransport™ Link Transfer Rates Up to 2.0 GT/s

Description

At HyperTransport™ link transfer rates up to 2.0 GT/s, VLDT maximum current (ILDT) may exceed

the specified 500 mA per link limit.

Potential Effect on System

The processor may exceed the design of the power subsystem, resulting in over-current conditions

that can lead to a shutdown or voltage droop.

Suggested Workaround

For platforms that utilize Gen1 link transfer rates less than or equal to 2.0 GT/s, refer to the following

documents for updated VLDT current specifications:

• AMD Family 10h Server and Workstation Processor Power and Thermal Datasheet, order

#43374 revision 3.07 or later

• AMD Family 10h Desktop Processor Power and Thermal Datasheet, order #43375 revision 3.33

or later
