The routing to the docking connector is not shown in this figure; however, this routing scheme applies to the
docking connector as well.

DAC Power Requirements
The DAC requires a 1.5-V supply through its two VCCADAC balls. The two may share a set of
capacitors, 0.1 µF and 0.01 µF, but this connection should have low inductance. Separate analog power
or ground planes are not required for the DAC.
However, since the DAC is an analog circuit, it is particularly sensitive to AC noise seen on its power
rail. Designs should provide as clean and quiet a supply as possible to the VCCA_DAC. Additional
filtering and/or separate voltage rail may be needed to do so. On the Intel CRB, there is a placeholder
for a LC filter in case there is noise present in the VCCA power rail.
Video DAC Power Supply DC Specification: 1.50 V ± 5%
Video DAC Power Supply AC Specification:
+/- 0.3% from 0.10 Hz to 10 MHz
+/- 0.95% from 10 MHz to max pixel clock frequency
Absolute minimum voltage at the VCCA package ball = 1.40 V
Please refer to the latest Intel 855GM/GME (Montara-GM/GM+) Chipset GMCH EDS Addendum for
AC/CD specification.
