Signal Name

Description

 

VTTD_SENSE and VSS_VTTD_SENSE provide an isolated, low

VTTD_SENSE

impedance connection to the processor I/O power plane. These

signals must be connected to the voltage regulator feedback

VSS_VTTD_SENSE

circuit, which insures the output voltage (that is, processor

 

voltage) remains within specification. Please see the applicable

 

platform design guide for implementation details.

 

 

 

Variable power supply for the processor system memory interface.

 

Provided by two VRM/EVRD 12.0 compliant regulators per CPU

 

socket. VCCD_01 and VCCD_23 are used for memory channels 0,

 

1, 2, and 3 respectively. The valid voltage of this supply (1.50 V or

 

1.35 V) is configured by BIOS after determining the operating

VCCD_01 and VCCD_23

voltages of the installed memory. VCCD_01 and VCCD_23 will also

 

be referred to as VCCD.

 

Note: The processor must be provided VCCD_01 and VCCD_23

 

for proper operation, even in configurations where no

 

memory is populated. A VRM/EVRD 12.0 controller is

 

recommended, but not required.

 

 

VCCPLL

Fixed power supply (1.8V) for the processor phased lock loop

(PLL).

 

 

 

 

Variable power supply for the processor system agent units. These

 

include logic (non-I/O) for the integrated I/O controller, the

 

integrated memory controller (iMC), the Intel QPI agent, and the

VSA

Power Control Unit (PCU). The output voltage of this supply is

 

selected by the processor, using the serial voltage ID (SVID) bus.

 

Note: VSA has a Vboot setting of 0.9V. Refer to the VR12/IMVP7

 

Pulse Width Modulation Specification.

 

 

VSS

VTTA VTTD

Processor ground node.

Combined fixed analog and digital power supply for I/O sections of the processor Intel QPI interface, Direct Media Interface Gen 2 (DMI2) interface, and PCI Express* interface. These signals will also be referred to as VTT. Please see the appropriate Platform Design Guide (PDG)for implementation details.
