Electrical Specifications
Notes:
1. These voltages and frequencies are targets only. A variable voltage source should exist on systems in the event that a
different voltage is required. See Section 2.2 and Tab l e 2- 4 for more information.
2. The voltage specification requirements are measured across the V
CCSENSE
and V
SSSENSE
pins using an oscilloscope set to a
100 MHz bandwidth and probes that are 1.5 pF maximum capacitance and 1 MΩ minimum impedance at the processor socket.
The maximum length of ground wire on the probe should be less than 5 mm. Ensure external noise from the system is not
coupled into the scope probe.
3. Refer to Tabl e 2-1 1 for the minimum, typical, and maximum V
CC
allowed for a given current. The processor should not be
subjected to any V
CC
and I
CC
combination wherein V
CC
exceeds V
CC_MAX
for a given current.
4. Moreover, V
CC
should never exceed the VID voltage. Failure to adhere to this specification can shorten the processor lifetime.
5. V
CC_MIN
and V
CC_MAX
are defined at the frequency’s associated I
CC_MAX
on the V
CC
load line.
6. The current specified is also for the HALT State.
7. FMB is the Flexible Motherboard guideline. These guidelines are for estimation purposes only. See Section 2.10.1 for further
details on FMB guidelines.
8. The maximum instantaneous current the processor will draw while the thermal control circuit (TCC) is active as indicated by
the assertion of PROCHOT# is the same as the maximum I
CC
for the processor.
9. The core and cache portions of Stop-Grant current is specified at V
CC
and V
CACHE
max.
10. Icc_Max specification is based on Vcc Maximum loadline. Refer to Figure 2-4 for details
11. These parameters are based on design characterization and are not tested.
12. V
TT
must be provided via a separate voltage source and must not be connected to V
CC
.
13. These specifications are measured at the package pin.
14. Baseboard bandwidth is limited to 20 MHz.
15. This specification refers to a single processor with R
TT
enabled.
16. This specification refers to a single processor with R
TT
disabled.
17. The voltage specification requirements are measured across the V
CC_CACHE_SENSE
and V
SS_CACHE_SENSE
pins at the socket with
a 100 MHz bandwidth oscilloscope, 1.5 pF maximum probe capacitance, and 1 MΩ minimum impedance. The maximum length
of ground wire on the probe should be less than 5 mm. Ensure external noise from the system is not coupled into the scope
probe.
18. This specification represents the V
CC
reduction due to each VID transition. See Section 2.2.
19. This specification refers to the total reduction of the load line due to VID transitions below the specified VID.
20. I
CC_TDC
is the sustained (DC equivalent) current that the processor is capable of drawing indefinitely and should be used for
the voltage regulator temperature assessment. The voltage regulator is responsible for monitoring its temperature and
asserting the necessary signal to inform the processor of a thermal excursion. Please see the applicable design guidelines for
further details. The processor is capable of drawing I
CC_TDC
indefinitely. Refer to Figure 2-3 for further details on the average
processor current draw over various time durations. This parameter is based on design characterization and is not tested.
21. I
CACHE_TDC
is the sustained (DC equivalent) current that the processor is capable of drawing indefinitely and should be used
for the voltage regulator temperature assessment. The voltage regulator is responsible for monitoring its temperature and
asserting the necessary signal to inform the processor of a thermal excursion. Please see the applicable design guidelines for
further details. The processor is capable of drawing I
CACHE_TDC
indefinitely. This parameter is based on design characterization
and is not tested.
