6300ESB Interface Signals
IERR#
• May be routed as a test point or to any
optional system receiver.
• May be routed as strip-line or micro-strip with
trace impedance = 55
Ω ± 15%.
• Place series resistor R1 within 3 inches of
system receiver.
• Place pull-up resistor Rtt within 3 inches of
series resistor R1.
• Pull-up voltage for termination resistor Rtt is
VCCP (1.05).
• Asynchronous AGTL+ Output
Signal.
• Refer to Topology 1A in
Section 4.1.5.1 for resistor values
and trace length
recommendations.
PROCHOT#
• May be routed as strip-line or micro-strip with
trace impedance = 55
Ω ± 15%.
• Use recommended voltage translation logic
for an appropriate system receiver.
• Pull-up voltage for termination resistor Rtt is
VCCP (1.05)
• Place series resistor Rs at the beginning of
trace T-split and within 3 inches from Q1.
• Asynchronous AGTL+ Output
Signal.
• Refer to Topology 1C in
Section 4.1.5.3 for resistor values
and trace length
recommendations.
FERR#
THERMTRIP#
• Connect FERR# to the processor and the
Intel
®
6300ESB.
• Recommend connecting processor signal
THERMTRIP# to the 6300ESB, but may be
connected to any optional system receiver,
with consideration for any voltage level
translation if necessary.
• May be routed as strip-line or micro-strip with
trace impedance = 55
Ω ± 15%.
• Place series resistor R1 within 3 inches of
system receiver.
• Place pull-up resistor Rtt within 3 inches of
series resistor R1.
• Pull-up voltage for termination resistor Rtt is
VCCP (1.05).
• Asynchronous AGTL+ Output
Signals.
• Refer to Topology 1B in
Section 4.1.5.2 for resistor values
and trace length
recommendations.
•Refer to Section 4.1.5.7 for
voltage translation
recommendations.
IPWRGOOD
• May be routed as strip-line or micro-strip with
trace impedance = 55
Ω ± 15%
• Route point-to-point between an AND gate
output (AND of PWRGD_3V and
CPU_VR_PWRGD) signal and CPU signal
PWRGOOD, trace length range between 0.5
and 12 inches.
• Place a termination resistor Rtt within 3
inches of CPU pin. T-split routing should not
be used.
• Pull-up voltage for termination resistor Rtt is
VCCP (1.05)
• Asynchronous Open Drain CMOS
Input Signal.
• Refer to Topology 2A in
Section 4.1.5.4 for resistor values
and detailed routing
recommendations.
