Electrical Specifications
2.6.3.1 GTL+ Front Side Bus Specifications

In most cases, termination resistors are not required as these are integrated into the processor

silicon. See Table 2 -8 for details on which GTL+ signals do not include on-die termination.

Valid high and low levels are determined by the input buffers by comparing with a reference

voltage called GTLREF. Table2-16 lists the GTLREF specifications. The GTL+ reference voltage

(GTLREF) must be generated on the motherboard using high precision voltage divider circuits.
