Bus Interface A-7
18524C/0—Nov1996 AMD-K5 Processor Technical Reference Manual
The selection of the drive strengths differs between the Pen-
tium processor and the AMD-K5 processor as follows:
Comments In addition to the different selction criteria, the exact drive
characteristics of the two strengths for the AMD-K5 processor
Model 0 Rev E differ from the Intel parts. Those differences
are as follows:
AMD-K5 Processor Model 0 Rev E
■ AMD-K5 processor Drive Strength 1 is between the Pentium
processor Drive Strength weak and medium
■ AMD-K5 processor Drive Strength 2 is between the Pentium
processor Drive Strength medium and strong
■ The only way to get the AMD-K5 processor Drive Strength 2
is to select the Pentium processor Drive Strength strong (as
shown in the table above)
AMD-K5 Processor Model 0 Rev F and Model 1
■ AMD-K5 processor Drive Strength 1 equals the Pentium
processor Drive Strength weak
■ AMD-K5 processor Drive Strength 2 equals the Pentium
processor Drive Strength medium
■ The only way to get the AMD-K5 processor Drive Strength 1
is to select the Pentium processor Drive Strength weak (as
shown in the table above)
