5.4.1 Topologies
The following sections describe the topologies and layout recommendations for the miscellaneous
signals.
5.4.1.1 Topology 1: Asynchronous GTL+ Signals Driven by the Processor
These signals (FERR#, PROCHOT# and THERMTRIP#) should adhere to the following routing
and layout recommendations. Figure 34 and Figure 35 illustrate the recommended topologies. If
THERMTRIP# and PROCHOT# are routed to external logic, voltage translation may be required
to avoid excessive voltage levels at the processor and to meet input thresholds for the external
logic.
