V
Decoupling
CC
Regulator solutions need to provide bulk capacitance with a low Effective Series Resistance (ESR)
and keep a low interconnect resistance from the regulator to the socket. Bulk decoupling for the
large current swings when the part is powering on, or entering/exiting low power states, must be
provided by the voltage regulator solution (VR). For more details on this topic, refer to the
applicable VRD design guide.

FSB GTL+ Decoupling
The Celeron D processor integrates signal termination on the die as well as incorporating high
frequency decoupling capacitance on the processor package. Decoupling must also be provided by
the system baseboard for proper GTL+ bus operation.
FSB 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 Celeron D processor 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.
The Celeron D processor uses a differential clocking implementation. For more information on the
Celeron D processor clocking, refer to the CK409 Clock Synthesizer/Driver Specification or
CK408 Clock Synthesizer/Driver Specifications.
