11.3Detailed Pin Descriptions

 

The information in this section pertains to Table 24 on page 64.

A20M# Pin

A20M# is an input from the system used to simulate address

 

wrap-around in the 20-bit 8086.

AMD Pin

AMD Socket A processors do not implement a pin at location

 

AH6. All Socket A designs must have a top plate or cover that

 

blocks this pin location. When the cover plate blocks this

 

location, a non-AMD part (e.g., PGA370) does not fit into the

 

socket. However, socket manufacturers are allowed to have a

 

contact loaded in the AH6 position. Therefore, motherboard

 

socket design should account for the possibility that a contact

 

could be loaded in this position.

System Bus Pins

Specification, order# 21902 for information about the system

 

bus pins — PROCRDY, PWROK, RESET#, SADDIN[14:2]#,

 

SADDINCLK#, SADDOUT[14:2]#, SADDOUTCLK#,

 

SDATA[63:0]#, SDATAINCLK[3:0]#, SDATAINVALID#,

 

SDATAOUTCLK[3:0]#, SDATAOUTVALID#, SFILLVALID#.

Analog Pin

Treat this pin as a NC.

APIC Pins, PICCLK,

The Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) is a

PICD[1:0]#

feature that provides a flexible and expandable means of

 

delivering interrupts in a system using an AMD processor. The

 

pins, PICD[1:0], are the bidirectional message-passing signals

 

used for the APIC and are driven to the Southbridge or a

 

dedicated I/O APIC. The pin, PICCLK, must be driven with a

 

valid clock input.

 

Refer to “VCC_2.5V Generation Circuit” found in the section,

 

“Motherboard Required Circuits,” of the AMD Athlon™

 

Processor Motherboard Design Guide, order# 24363 for the

 

required supporting circuitry.

 

For more information, see Table 15, “APIC Pin AC and DC

 

Characteristics,” on page 40.

CLKFWDRST Pin

CLKFWDRST resets clock-forward circuitry for both the system

 

and processor.
