Electrical Specifications
Notes:
1. The V
CC_MIN
and V
CC_MAX
loadlines represent static and transient limits. Please see Section 2.6.1 for V
CC
overshoot specifications.
2. Refer to Table 2-9 for V
CC
Static and Transient Tolerance.
3. The loadlines specify voltage limits at the die measured at the VCC_SENSE and VSS_SENSE lands. Voltage
regulation feedback for voltage regulator circuits must also be taken from processor VCC_SENSE and
VSS_SENSE lands.
4. Processor core current (I
CC
) ranges are valid up to I
CC_MAX
of the processor SKU as defined in Table 2-8.
2.6.1 V
CC
Overshoot Specifications
The processor can tolerate short transient overshoot events where V
CC
exceeds the VID
voltage when transitioning from a high-to-low current load condition. This overshoot
cannot exceed VID + V
OS_MAX
(V
OS_MAX
is the maximum allowable overshoot above
VID). These specifications apply to the processor die voltage as measured across the
VCC_SENSE and VSS_SENSE lands.
