AMD Athlon™ XP Processor Model 10 Data Sheet

signals High above 2.5 V. Do not expose these pins to a differential voltage greater than 1.60 V, relative to the processor core voltage.

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.

See “Frequency Identification (FID[3:0])” on page 25 for the

DC characteristics for FID[3:0].

FSB_Sense[1:0] Pins FSB_Sense[1:0] pins are either open circuit (logic level of 1) or are pulled to ground (logic level of 0) on the processor package with a 1 kΩ resistor. In conjunction with a circuit on the motherboard, these pins may be used to automatically detect the front-side bus (FSB) setting of this processor. Proper detection of the FSB setting requires the implementation of a pull-up resistor on the motherboard. Refer to the AMD Athlon™ Processor-Based Motherboard Design Guide, order# 24363 and the technical note FSB_Sense Auto Detection Circuitry for Desktop Processors, order# TN26673 for more information.

Table 26 is the truth table to determine the FSB of desktop processors.

The FSB_Sense[1:0] pins are 3.3-V tolerant.

FLUSH# Pin

FLUSH# must be tied to VCC_CORE with a pullup resistor. If a

 

debug connector is implemented, FLUSH# is routed to the

 

debug connector.

IGNNE# Pin

IGNNE# is an input from the system that tells the processor to

 

ignore numeric errors.

INIT# Pin

INIT# is an input from the system that resets the integer

 

registers without affecting the floating-point registers or the

 

internal caches. Execution starts at 0_FFFF_FFF0h.
