Electrical Specifications
2.6.3.1 GTL+ Front Side Bus Specifications
In most cases, termination resistors are not required as these are integrated into the
processor silicon. See Table 8 for details on which GTL+ signals do not include on-die
termination.
Valid high and low levels are determined by the input buffers by comparing with a
reference voltage called GTLREF. Table 16 lists the GTLREF specifications. The GTL+
reference voltage (GTLREF) should be generated on the system board using high
precision voltage divider circuits.

by a voltage divider of 1% resistors (one divider for each GTLREF
land). Refer to the
applicable platform design guide for additional implementation details.
