Introduction

This design guide is intended to be used by LV Intel Pentium
This design guide documents Intel's design recommendations for dual-processor systems based on
the LV Intel
addition to providing design recommendations such as layout and routing guidelines, this
document also addresses possible system design issues such as processor power delivery, layout
considerations for mechanical pieces, EMI design impacts and system bus decoupling.
Carefully follow the design information, debug recommendations and system checklist presented
in this document. These design guidelines have been developed to ensure maximum flexibility for
board designers while reducing the risk of board related issues. The design information provided in
this document falls into one of two categories:
•
Design Recommendations are necessary to meet the timing and signal quality specifications.
•
Design Considerations are suggestions for platform design. These provide one way to meet
the design recommendations. They are based on the reference platforms designed by Intel.
They could be used as an example, but may not be applicable to your particular design.
Note: The guidelines recommended in this document are based on experience and simulation work done
at Intel while developing LV Intel Pentium
recommendations are subject to change.
