4 Electrical, Power, and Thermal
This chapter contains a description of the Intel 6400/6402 Advanced Memory Buffer
(AMB)’s electrical DC parameters, timing parameters, power considerations, and
thermal considerations.

Notes:
1.
Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under
“recommended operating conditions” is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods
may affect device reliability.
2.
The input and output negative-voltage ratings may be exceeded if the input and output clamp-current ratings are
observed.This value is limited to 2.3 V maximum.

Note:
There will also be a VTT termination supply at VDDR/2 available on the DIMM but does
not connect to the AMB.
