2.4 Signal Specifications

This section describes the DC specifications of the system bus signals. The processor signal’s DC

specifications are defined at the Itanium 2 processor pins. Table 2 -4 through Tabl e 2-9 describe the

DC specifications for the AGTL+, PWRGOOD, HSTL clock, TAP port, system management, and

LVTTL signals. Please refer to the ITP700 Debug Port Design Guide for the TAP connection

signals DC specifications at the debug port.

NOTES:
1. This is the tolerance requirement, across a 200 MHz bandwidth, at the processor pins. The requirement at the processor pins
accounts for voltage drops (and impedance discontinuities) at the processor pins and to the processor core. In addition to the
±1.5% DC tolerance, there is a ±3.5% AC tolerance for a total of ±5% tolerance.
2. The Itanium® 2 processor system bus is terminated at each end of the system bus. The Itanium 2 processor supports both on-
die and off-die termination which is selected by the TERMA and TERMB pins. Termination tolerance is ±15% for on-die
termination measured at VOL and ±1% for off-die termination.
3. Maximum termination voltage current on one terminating agent.
4. For all core frequencies and cache sizes.
5. Maximum thermal design envelope is provided for the design of thermal/chassis solutions.
6. Maximum thermal design power is an estimate of the power dissipation for the Itanium 2 processor offering while executing a
worst-case application mix under nominal VCC,PS and worst-case temperature.

NOTES:
1. The power pod DC set point accuracy is ±1.5%. Included for reference only, under worst case switching activity, the power pod
tolerance is ±7%.
2. The VCC,PS for the processor is defined by the VID bits specified in Table2-23.

3. The maximum current (ICC,PS) specification is intended for system power supply design. The maximum current values are
defined to be based on worst-case VCC,PS, temperature and application mix.
