5.11. Processor V
The VCCSENSE and VSSSENSE signals of the Intel Celeron M Processor provide isolated, low
impedance connections to the processor's core power (VCC) and ground (VSS). These pins can be used
to sense or measure power (VCC) or ground (VSS) near the silicon with little noise. To make them
available for measurement purposes, it is recommended that VCCSENSE and VSSSENSE both be
routed with a Zo = 55 Ω ± 15% trace of equal length. Use 3:1 spacing between the routing for the two
signals and all other signals should be a minimum of 25 mils (preferably 50 mils) from VCCSENSE and
VSSSENSE routing. Terminate each line with an optional (default is No Stuff) 54.9 Ω ± 1% resistor.
Also, a ground via spaced 100 mils away from each of the test point vias for VCCSENSE and
VSSSENSE should be added. A third ground via should also be placed in between them to allow for a
differential probe ground. See Figure 42 for the recommended layout example.
