3.1.2 BACO Hardware Implementation
BACO hardware implementation is simplified for “Heathrow” and “Chelsea,” and is
different from “Thames.”
Please refer to the following documents for BACO hardware implementations:
• “Heathrow”/“Chelsea”/“Thames” Reference Schematics, ref140.pdf
• Application Note: Comparison of BACO Implementation between AMD’s 40-nm
Mobile ASICs and 28-nm Mobile ASICs
