Platform Clock Routing Guidelines
11.2.5 CLK14 Clock Group
The 14 MHz clocks are series terminated and routed point-to-point on the motherboard. A single
clock output is shared between the two loads. These clocks are length tuned to each other but are
not synchronous with any other clocks. Figure 142 depicts the CLK14 clock group topology.
Table 110 presents the CLK14 clock group routing constraints.
