4.2. Component Placement and Interconnection Layout Requirements
The layout requirements for each interconnection are explained in detail in the following sections:
Crystal to CK133
CK133 to DRCG
MCH to DRCG
DRCG to RDRAM channel

4.2.1. 14.318 MHz Crystal to CK133

The distance between the crystal and the CK133 should be minimized. The maximum trace length is
500 mils.

4.2.2. CK133 to DRCG

Processor _div2
VddIR – Used as a reference for 2.5 V signaling

ck133_drcg_route
VddIR and CPU_div2 must be routed as shown in Figure 88. Note that the VddIR pin can be connected
directly to 2.5 V near the DRCG if the 2.5 V plane extends near the DRCG. However, if a 2.5 V trace
must be used, it should originate at the CK133 and be routed as shown.
