Electrical Specifications

GTL+ Front Side Bus Specifications
In most cases, termination resistors are not required as these are integrated into the
processor silicon. See Table 8 for details on which GTL+ signals do not include on-die
termination.
Valid high and low levels are determined by the input buffers by comparing with a
reference voltage called GTLREF. Table 16 lists the GTLREF specifications. The GTL+
reference voltage (GTLREF) should be generated on the system board using high
precision voltage divider circuits.

NOTES:
1. Unless otherwise noted, all specifications in this table apply to all processor frequencies.
2. GTLREF is to be generated from VTT by a voltage divider of 1% resistors (one divider for each
GTLREF land).

4. R is the on-die termination resistance measured at V /2 of the GTL+ output driver. The IMPSEL pin is used
