Description
VCCSENSE is an isolated low impedance connection to processor core
power (VCC). It can be used to sense or measure power near the
silicon with little noise.
VCCSENSE
Output
VID[5:0] (Voltage ID) pins are used to support automatic selection
of power supply voltages (VCC). Unlike some previous generations of
processors, these are CMOS signals that are driven by the Celeron M
processor. The voltage supply for these pins must be valid before the
VR can supply VCC to the processor. Conversely, the VR output must
be disabled until the voltage supply for the VID pins becomes valid.
The VID pins are needed to support the processor voltage
specification variations. See Table 1 for definitions of these pins. The
VR must supply the voltage that is requested by the pins, or disable
itself.
