Notes:
1. Please refer to the applicable platform design guide to change the default states of these signals.
2. Refer to Table 7 -20 for details on the RON (Buffer on Resistance) value for this signal.
7.3 Power-On Configuration (POC) Options

Several configuration options can be configured by hardware. The processor samples

its hardware configuration at reset, on the active-to-inactive transition of RESET_N, or

upon assertion of PWRGOOD (inactive-to-active transition). For specifics on these

options, please refer to Tabl e 7-7.

The sampled information configures the processor for subsequent operation. These

configuration options cannot be changed except by another reset transition of the

latching signal (RESET_N or PWRGOOD).

Notes:
1. Output tri-state option enables Fault Resilient Booting (FRB), for FRB details see Section7.4. The signal
used to latch PROCHOT_N for enabling FRB mode is RESET_N.
2. BIST_ENABLE is sampled at RESET_N de-assertion and CPU_ONLY_RESET de-assertion (on the
falling edge).
3. This signal is sampled after PWRGOOD assertion.
