GTL+ FSB Specifications
Termination resistors are not required for most GTL+ signals, as these are integrated into the
processor silicon.Valid high and low levels are determined by the input buffers which compare a
signal’s voltage with a reference voltage called GTLREF. Table 2-18 lists the GTLREF
specifications. The GTL+ reference voltage (GTLREF) should be generated on the system board
using high precision voltage divider circuits.

The V referred to in these specifications is the instantaneous V
The Intel 915G/915GV/915P and 910GL Express chipset platforms use a pull-up resistor of 100 Ω and a pull-down resistor
of 210 Ω. Contact your Intel representative for further details and documentation.
These pull-ups are to V .
