4.2Split Voltage Planes

There are two 1.5V voltage planes that supply power to the 41110:

•VCC15:1.5V ±5% (1.5V core voltage)

•VCCPE:1.5V ±3% (1.5V PCI Express voltage)

The 41110 Bridge core (VCC15), PCI-Express (VCCPE) voltages should be supplied by two separate voltage regulators or a single regulator. If VCC15 and VCCPE is supplied by a single voltage regulator the power planes should be split as shown in Figure 9.
