CPU I/O Signal Considerations
The Intel 82801DBM ICH4-Mhas been designed to be voltage compatible with the CMOS signals of the
Intel Pentium M / Intel Celeron M processor. For Intel Pentium M / Intel Celeron M processor -based
systems, the ICH4-M's V_CPU_IO rail uses the same 1.05-V voltage as the V
the GMCH. It is important to verify that the voltage requirements of all CPU and ICH4-M signals are
compatible with the FWH as well. See Section 11.7 for FWH details. Figure 121 shows a typical
interface between the ICH4-M, CPU, and FWH. See Section 4.1.3.5 for recommended topologies and
routing guidelines.
