Data Sheet
Pull-Up and Pull-Down Resistors
Pull-up and pull-down resistors are used for strapping during reset and to retain unused or undriven inputs in an
appropriate state. The recommended pull-up value of 3kΩ to +3.3V (10kΩ to +5V can be used on 5V tolerant I/Os)
and pull-down value of 1kΩ to GND, applies only to individually terminated signals. To prevent possible damage to
the device, I/Os capable of becoming outputs must never be tied together and terminated through a common
resistor.
If your system-level test methodology permits, input-only signals can be connected together and terminated
through either a common resistor or directly to +3.3V or GND. When a resistor is used, its value must ensure that
the grouped I/Os reach a valid logic zero or logic one state when accounting for the total input current into the
PPC405GP.
Unused I/Os
Termination of some pins may be necessary when they are unused. Although the PPC405GP requires only the
pull-up and pull-down terminations as specified in the “Signal Functional Description” on page 35, good design
practice is to terminate all unused inputs or to configure I/Os such that they always drive. If unused, the peripheral,
SDRAM, and PCI buses should be configured and terminated as follows:
• Peripheral interface—PerAddr0:31, PerData0:31, and all of the control signals are driven by default. Terminate
PerReady high and PerError low.
• SDRAM—Program SDRAM0_CFG[EMDULR]=1 and SDRAM0_CFG[DCE]=1. This causes the PPC405GP to
actively drive all of the SDRAM address, data, and control signals.
• PCI—The PCI pull-up requirements given in the Signal Functional Description apply only when the PCI
interface is being used. When the PCI bridge is unused, configure the PCI controller to park on the bus and
actively drive PCIAD31:0, PCIC3:0[BE3:0], and the remaining PCI control signals by doing the following:
- Strap the PPC405GP to disable the internal PCI arbiter and to operate the PCI interface in synchronous
mode.
- Individually connect PCISErr, PCIPErr, PCITRDY, and PCIStop through 3kΩ resistors to +3.3V.
- Terminate PCIReq1:5 to +3.3V.
- Terminate PCIReq0[Gnt] to GND.
External Bus Control Signals
All peripheral bus control signals (PerCS0:7, PerR/W, PerWBE0:3, PerOE, PerWE, PerBLast, HoldAck, ExtAck)
are set to the high-impedance state when ExtReset=0. In addition, as detailed in the PowerPC 405GP Embedded
Processor User’s Manual, the peripheral bus controller can be programmed via EBC0_CFG to float some of these
control signals between transactions and/or when an external master owns the peripheral bus. As a result, a pull-
up resistor should be added to those control signals where an undriven state may affect any devices receiving that
particular signal.
The following table lists all of the I/O signals provided by the PPC405GP. Please refer to “Signals Listed
Alphabetically” on page 17 for the pin number to which each signal is assigned.
