Introduction
transfer rate, as in AGP 4X). Along with the 4X data bus, the address bus can deliver
addresses two times per bus clock and is referred to as a “double-clocked” or 2X
address bus. Working together, the 4X data bus and 2X address bus provide a data bus
bandwidth of up to 3.2 GB/second. The FSB uses Advanced Gunning Transceiver Logic
(AGTL+) signalling technology, a variant of (GTL+) signaling technology with low power
enhancements.
The Celeron M processor utilizes socketable Micro Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array (Micro-
FCPGA) and surface mount Micro Flip-Chip Ball Grid Array (Micro-FCBGA) package
technology. The Micro-FCPGA package plugs into a 479-hole, surface-mount, zero
insertion force (ZIF) socket, which is referred to as the mPGA479M socket.

Terminology
Term
Definition
A “#” symbol after a signal name refers to an active low signal, indicating a
signal is in the active state when driven to a low level. For example, when
RESET# is low, a reset has been requested. Conversely, when NMI is high,
a nonmaskable interrupt has occurred. In the case of signals where the
name does not imply an active state but describes part of a binary
sequence (such as
address
or
data),
the “#” symbol implies that the signal
is inverted. For example, D[3:0] = “HLHL” refers to a hex ‘A’, and D[3:0]#
= “LHLH” also refers to a hex “A” (H= High logic level, L= Low logic level).
XXXX means that the specification or value is yet to be determined.
Refers to the interface between the processor and system core logic (also
known as the chipset components).
