2.3.2 Apollo Pro133A Clock Layout Recommendations
2.3.2.1 Clock Requirements
The requirements of the system clock synthesizer for an Apollo Pro133A based system design are listed in Table 2-7.
Clock Signal Type
CPU Clock
SDRAM Clock
SDRAM Clock In
PCI Clock
USB Clock
Super I/O Clock
IOAPIC Clock
Reference Clock
Note: The voltage level for CPU and IOAPIC clock signals is 2.5V. The voltage level for the remaining clocks is 3.3V.
Figure 2-21 shows clock connections of the system clock synthesizers to their respective destinations.
