Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 3000 Series Datasheet 29
Electrical Specifications
2.7.3.1 GTL+ Front Side Bus Specifications
In most cases, termination resistors are not required as these are integrated into the
processor silicon. See Table 2-9 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. Table 2-15 lists the GTLREF specifications. The GTL+
reference voltage (GTLREF) should be generated on the system board using high
precision voltage divider circuits.
2.7.4 Clock Specifications
2.7.5 Front Side Bus Clock (BCLK[1:0]) and Processor Clocking
BCLK[1:0] directly controls the FSB interface speed as well as the core frequency of the
processor. As in previous generation processors, the processor’s core frequency is a
multiple of the BCLK[1:0] frequency. The processor bus ratio multiplier will be set at its
default ratio during manufacturing. Refer to Table 2-16 for the processor supported
ratios.
The processor uses a differential clocking implementation. For more information on the
processor clocking, contact your Intel Field representative. Platforms using a CK505
Clock Synthesizer/Driver should comply with the specifications in Section 2.7.8.
Platforms using a CK410 Clock Synthesizer/Driver should comply with the specifications
in Section 2.7.9.
