Electrical Characteristics
11.2 Current Consumption
Table 24 shows the current consumption for the MCH in the Advanced Configuration
and Power Interface (ACPI) S0 state. Icc max values are determined on a per-interface
basis, at the highest frequencies for each interface. Sustained current values or Max
current values cannot occur simultaneously on all interfaces. Sustained Values are
measured sustained RMS maximum current consumption and includes leakage
estimates. The measurements are made with fast silicon at 96° C Tcase temperature,
at the Max voltage listed in Table 26. The Max values are maximum theoretical pre-
silicon calculated values. In some cases, the Sustained measured values have exceeded
the Max theoretical values.
NOTES:
1. Measurements are for current coming through chipset’s supply pins.
2. Rail includes DLLs (and FSB sense amps on VCC).
3. Sustained Measurements are combined because one voltage regulator on the platform
supplies both rails on the MCH.
