R
R = value of the sense resistor (typically 0.002 Ω)
V = the voltage difference measured across the sense resistor.
It is recommended to use a high precision digital multi-meter tool such as the Agilent
34401A* digital multi-meter.
3.5 Intel
The CRB design supports the Intel
a 437-pin FCBGA8 package.
3.5.1

Processor Voltage Regulators

The CRB implements an on-board Intel
supply in a single phase.
3.5.2

FSB

The front side bus (FSB) on the CRB supports 533 MT/s (133 MHz quad-pumped). The
FSB is AGTL+ and runs at 1.05 V.
3.5.3

Power Management

The Intel
and C4E. DPWR# protocol is also supported on the CRB.
3.5.4

Debug Interfaces

An XDP (Extended Debug Port) connector is provided at J1 for processor run control
debug support. This connector is compatible with both XDP and ITP-700. An external
adapter is used to interface ITPFlex700 cable to the platform.
Note: The XDP interface is backward-compatible with the ITP interface. However, an XDP to
ITP converter cable is necessary to use the older ITP tools. Also, in some cases a
resistor change rework is necessary to get the older ITP tools to function properly.
Please contact local Intel field representative for additional details.
3.5.5

Testability

The CRB provides an Extended Debug Port (XDP) for testing at J1 and direct processor
probing. The XDP interface is backwards-compatible with the older ITP interface as
