2.7.3.2 GTL+ Front Side Bus Specifications
In most cases, termination resistors are not required as these are integrated into the
processor silicon. See Ta b le 2 - 7 for details on which GTL+ signals do not include on-die
termination.
Valid high and low levels are determined by the input buffers by comparing with a
reference voltage called GTLREF. Tab l e 2 - 1 3 lists the GTLREF specifications. The GTL+
reference voltage (GTLREF) should be generated on the system board using high
precision voltage divider circuits.
NOTES:
1. Unless otherwise noted, all specifications in this table apply to all processor frequencies.
2. GTLREF is to be generated from VTT by a voltage divider of 1% resistors. If an Variable
GTLREF circuit is used on the board the GTLREF lands connected to the Variable GTLREF
circuit may require different resistor values. Each GTLREF land must be connected.
3. R
TT
is the on-die termination resistance measured at V
TT
/3 of the GTL+ output driver.
4. COMP resistance must be provided on the system board with 1% resistors. COMP[3:0] and
COMP8 resistors are to V
SS
