Electrical Specifications
2.4.1 Phase Lock Loop (PLL) Power and Filter
V
CCA
and V
CCIOPLL
are power sources required by the PLL clock generators for the Pentium 4
processor in the 775-land package. Since these PLLs are analog, they require low noise power
supplies for minimum jitter. Jitter is detrimental to the system: it degrades external I/O timings as
well as internal core timings (i.e., maximum frequency). To prevent this degradation, these supplies
must be low pass filtered from V
TT
.
The AC low-pass requirements, with input at V
TT
are as follows:
• < 0.2 dB gain in pass band
• < 0.5 dB attenuation in pass band < 1 Hz
• > 34 dB attenuation from 1 MHz to 66 MHz
• > 28 dB attenuation from 66 MHz to core frequency
The filter requirements are illustrated in Figure 2-1.
.
NOTES:
1. Diagram not to scale.
2. No specification exists for frequencies beyond fcore (core frequency).
3. fpeak, if existent, should be less than 0.05 MHz.
