Land Listing and Signal Descriptions
IGNNE#
Input
IGNNE# (Ignore Numeric Error) is asserted to the processor to ignore a
numeric error and continue to execute noncontrol floating-point instructions.
If IGNNE# is de-asserted, the processor generates an exception on a
noncontrol floating-point instruction if a previous floating-point instruction
caused an error. IGNNE# has no effect when the NE bit in control register 0
(CR0) is set.
IGNNE# is an asynchronous signal. However, to ensure recognition of this
signal following an Input/Output write instruction, it must be valid along with
the TRDY# assertion of the corresponding Input/Output Write bus
transaction.
INIT#
Input
INIT# (Initialization), when asserted, resets integer registers inside the
processor without affecting its internal caches or floating-point registers. The
processor then begins execution at the power-on Reset vector configured
during power-on configuration. The processor continues to handle snoop
requests during INIT# assertion. INIT# is an asynchronous signal and must
connect the appropriate pins/lands of all processor FSB agents.
ITP_CLK[1:0]
Input
ITP_CLK[1:0] are copies of BCLK that are used only in processor systems
where no debug port is implemented on the system board. ITP_CLK[1:0] are
used as BCLK[1:0] references for a debug port implemented on an interposer.
If a debug port is implemented in the system, ITP_CLK[1:0] are no connects
in the system. These are not processor signals.
LINT[1:0]
Input
LINT[1:0] (Local APIC Interrupt) must connect the appropriate pins/lands of
all APIC Bus agents. When the APIC is disabled, the LINT0 signal becomes
INTR, a maskable interrupt request signal, and LINT1 becomes NMI, a
nonmaskable interrupt. INTR and NMI are backward compatible with the
signals of those names on the Pentium processor. Both signals are
asynchronous.
Both of these signals must be software configured via BIOS programming of
the APIC register space to be used either as NMI/INTR or LINT[1:0]. Because
the APIC is enabled by default after Reset, operation of these signals as
LINT[1:0] is the default configuration.
LOCK#
Input/
Output
LOCK# indicates to the system that a transaction must occur atomically. This
signal must connect the appropriate pins/lands of all processor FSB agents.
For a locked sequence of transactions, LOCK# is asserted from the beginning
of the first transaction to the end of the last transaction.
When the priority agent asserts BPRI# to arbitrate for ownership of the
processor FSB, it will wait until it observes LOCK# de-asserted. This enables
symmetric agents to retain ownership of the processor FSB throughout the
bus locked operation and ensure the atomicity of lock.
PECI
Input/
Output
PECI is a proprietary one-wire bus interface. See
Section 5.3 for details.
PROCHOT#
Input/
Output
As an output, PROCHOT# (Processor Hot) will go active when the processor
temperature monitoring sensor detects that the processor has reached its
maximum safe operating temperature. This indicates that the processor
Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) has been activated, if enabled. As an input,
assertion of PROCHOT# by the system will activate the TCC, if enabled. The
TCC will remain active until the system de-asserts PROCHOT#. See
PWRGOOD
Input
PWRGOOD (Power Good) is a processor input. The processor requires this
signal to be a clean indication that the clocks and power supplies are stable
and within their specifications. ‘Clean’ implies that the signal will remain low
(capable of sinking leakage current), without glitches, from the time that the
power supplies are turned on until they come within specification. The signal
must then transition monotonically to a high state. PWRGOOD can be driven
inactive at any time, but clocks and power must again be stable before a
subsequent rising edge of PWRGOOD.
The PWRGOOD signal must be supplied to the processor; it is used to protect
internal circuits against voltage sequencing issues. It should be driven high
throughout boundary scan operation.
REQ[4:0]#
Input/
Output
REQ[4:0]# (Request Command) must connect the appropriate pins/lands of
all processor FSB agents. They are asserted by the current bus owner to
define the currently active transaction type. These signals are source
synchronous to ADSTB0#.
