Type
LOCK# indicates to the system that a transaction must occur
atomically. This signal must connect the appropriate pins/lands of
all processor FSB agents. For a locked sequence of transactions,
LOCK# is asserted from the beginning of the first transaction to the
end of the last transaction.
Input/
Output
When the priority agent asserts BPRI# to arbitrate for ownership of
the processor FSB, it will wait until it observes LOCK# de-asserted.
This enables symmetric agents to retain ownership of the processor
FSB throughout the bus locked operation and ensure the atomicity
of lock.
These signals indicate the Market Segment for the processor. Refer
Output
to Table 3 for additional information.
Input/ PECI is a proprietary one-wire bus interface. See
Output details.
As an output, PROCHOT# (Processor Hot) will go active when the
processor temperature monitoring sensor detects that the processor
has reached its maximum safe operating temperature. This
Input/ indicates that the processor Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) has been
Output activated, if enabled. As an input, assertion of PROCHOT# by the
system will activate the TCC, if enabled. The TCC will remain active
until the system de-asserts PROCHOT#. See
details.
PWRGOOD (Power Good) is a processor input. The processor
requires this signal to be a clean indication that the clocks and
power supplies are stable and within their specifications. 'Clean'
implies that the signal will remain low (capable of sinking leakage
current), without glitches, from the time that the power supplies are
turned on until they come within specification. The signal must then
Input
transition monotonically to a high state. PWRGOOD can be driven
inactive at any time, but clocks and power must again be stable
before a subsequent rising edge of PWRGOOD.
The PWRGOOD signal must be supplied to the processor; it is used
to protect internal circuits against voltage sequencing issues. It
should be driven high throughout boundary scan operation.
REQ[4:0]# (Request Command) must connect the appropriate pins/
Input/ lands of all processor FSB agents. They are asserted by the current
Output bus owner to define the currently active transaction type. These
signals are source synchronous to ADSTB0#.
Asserting the RESET# signal resets the processor to a known state
and invalidates its internal caches without writing back any of their
contents. For a power-on Reset, RESET# must stay active for at
least one millisecond after V
specifications. On observing active RESET#, all FSB agents will de-
assert their outputs within two clocks. RESET# must not be kept
Input
asserted for more than 10 ms while PWRGOOD is asserted.
A number of bus signals are sampled at the active-to-inactive
transition of RESET# for power-on configuration. These
configuration options are described in the
This signal does not have on-die termination and must be
terminated on the system board.
