FSB Signal Groups
The front side bus signals have been combined into groups by buffer type. GTL+ input
signals have differential input buffers, which use GTLREF[3:0] as a reference level. In
this document, the term “GTL+ Input” refers to the GTL+ input group as well as the
GTL+ I/O group when receiving. Similarly, “GTL+ Output” refers to the GTL+ output
group as well as the GTL+ I/O group when driving.
With the implementation of a source synchronous data bus comes the need to specify
two sets of timing parameters. One set is for common clock signals which are
dependent upon the rising edge of BCLK0 (ADS#, HIT#, HITM#, etc.) and the second
set is for the source synchronous signals which are relative to their respective strobe
lines (data and address) as well as the rising edge of BCLK0. Asychronous signals are
still present (A20M#, IGNNE#, and so forth) and can become active at any time during
the clock cycle.
Table 2-6 identifies which signals are common clock, source
synchronous, and asynchronous.
Notes:
1.
2.
In processor systems where no debug port is implemented on the system board, these signals are used to
support a debug port interposer. In systems with the debug port implemented on the system board, these
signals are no connects.
3.
The value of these signals during the active-to-inactive edge of RESET# defines the processor configuration
4.
PROCHOT# signal type is open drain output and CMOS input.
