10.3.4  PWOK (Power OK) Signal 
The PDB connects the PWOK signals from the power supply modules and the DC/DC 
converters to a common PWOK signal. This common PWOK signal connects to the PWOK pin 
on P1. The DC/DC convert PWOK signals have open collector outputs. 
10.3.4.1  System PWOK Requirements 
The system will connect the PWOK signal to 3.3V or 5V by a pull-up resistor. The maximum 
sink current of the power supplies are 0.5mA. The minimum resistance of the pull-up resistor 
is stated below depending upon the motherboard’s pull-up voltage. Refer to the CRPS Power 
Supply Specification for signal details.

10.3.5  PSON Signal 
The PDB connects the power supplies PSON signals together and connect them to the PSON 
signal on P1. Refer to the CRPS Power Supply Specification for signal details. 
10.3.6  PMBus* 
The PDB has no components on it to support PMBus*. It only needs to connect the power 
supply PMBus* signals (clock, data, SMBAlert#) and pass them to the 1x5 signal connector. 
10.3.6.1  Addressing 
The PDB addresses the power supply as follows on the PDB: 0 = open, 1 = grounded.
