• Refer to the signal recommendations under
the Processor Schematic Checklist.

A20GATE
• Pull-up is required if driven by an open drain
signal
(the value of the resistor is determined by
the driver).
• Typically driven by Open Drain
External Micro-controller.
CPUPWRGD • Recommend 300
Ω ± 5% pull-up to
VCC_CPU. Connect to both processors and
ICH3-S.
• Asserted by ICH3-S when all
processor voltage supplies are
stable.
FWH Interface
FWH[3:0]/ LAD[3:0]
LDRQ[1:0]
• No extra pull-ups required. Connect straight
to FWH/LPC and, if supported, a BMC.
• ICH3-S Integrates 24 kΩ pull-up
resistors on these signal lines.
GPIO
GPIO[7:0] • These pins are in the Main Power Well. Pull-
ups must use the VCC_3.3 plane.
• Unused core well inputs must be pulled up
to VCC_3.3.
• GPIO[1:0] can be used as REQ[B:A]#.
• GPIO[1] can be used as PCI REQ[5]#.
• GPIO[5:2] can be used as PIRQ[H:E]#.
• These signals are 5 V tolerant.
• Ensure all unconnected signals
are
outputs only.
GPIO[8] & [13:11] • These pins are in the Resume Power Well.
Pull-ups go to VCC_SUS3.3 plane.
• Unused resume well inputs must be pulled
up to VCC_SUS3.3.
• These are the only GPIs that can be used
as ACPI compliant wake events.
• These signals are not 5 V tolerant.
• GPIO[11] can be used as SMBALERT#.
• These are the only GPI signals
in the resume well with
associated status bits in the
GPE1_STS register.
GPIO[23:16] • Fixed as output only. Can be left NC.
• In Main Power Well.
• GPIO[22] is open drain.
• GPIO[17:16] can be used as GNT[B:A]#.
• GPIO[17] can be used as PCI GNT[5]#.
GPIO[28,27,25,24] • I/O pins. Defaults as an output. Can be left
NC.
• From resume power well. (VCC_SUS3.3).
