6300ESB ICH Embedded Platform Design Guide
Recommendations
Typical value of pull-up resistors is 8.2 K Ω
to VccSus3.3.
Value of pull-up resistors determined by
line load.
Connect SMLINK[0] to SMBCLK and
SMLINK[1] to SMBDATA
Requires external 8.2 K Ω pull-up resistors
to VccSus3.3.
Connect SMLINK[0] to SMBCLK and
SMLINK[1] to SMBDATA
Pull signal to V
RTC (VBAT) through a
CC
1 M Ω signal.
See GPIO section when SMBALERT# not
implemented.
Recommendations
Use a 20 K Ω pull-up resistor to VccRTC
and a 1.0 µF cap to ground.
Connect a 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator
across these pins with a 10 M Ω resistor.
See
Section 9.11.2
for capacitor
guidelines.
Ensure the VBIAS pin of the 6300ESB is
connected to Vbatt through a 0.047 µF
cap. (See
Section
9.11.6.)
Reason/Impact
Requires external pull-up resistors.
Typical value and power well determined
by SMBus Architecture and Design
Consideration section.
Pull-up value also determined by bus
section characteristics. Additional
circuitry may be required to connect high
and low power sections.
In order to be fully compliant with the
SMBus 2.0 specification (which requires
the Host Notify cycle), the SMLink and
SMBus signals must be tied together
externally. This recommendation
ensures proper functionality of the
SMBus 2.0/SMLink Interface for legacy
TCO and for cases when an external
ASF controller is used.

Reason/Impact
Time constant due to RC filter on this line
should be 18-25 ms.
The external circuitry shown in
Section 129
is required to maintain the
RTC's accuracy. The circuitry is required
since the new RTC oscillator is sensitive
to step voltage changes in VCCRTC and
VBIAS. A negative step on power supply
of more than 100 mV will temporarily shut
off the oscillator for hundreds of
milliseconds.
For noise immunity on VBIAS signal.
