6.0 Electrical Specifications
This section provides information on electrical connec-
tions, absolute maximum ratings, recommended operating
conditions, DC characteristics, and AC characteristics for
the Geode GXLV processor series. All voltage values in
the electrical specifications are with respect to VSS unless
otherwise noted. For detailed information on the PCI bus
electrical specification refer to Chapter 4 of the PCI Bus
Specification, Revision 2.1.
6.1 PART NUMBERS/PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
The GXLV series of processors is designated by three
core voltage specifications: 2.9V, 2.5V, and 2.2V. Each
core voltage is offered in frequencies that are enabled by
specific system clock and internal multiplier settings. This
allows the user to select the device(s) that best fit their
power and performance requirements. This flexibility
makes the GXLV processor series ideally suited for appli-
cations where power consumption and performance
(speed) are equally important.
The part numbers in Table 6-1 designate the various com-
binations of speed and power consumption available.
Note that while there are three VCC2 (Core) voltages avail-
able, the VCC3 (I/O) voltage remains constant at 3.3V
(nominal) in order to maintain LVTTL compatibility with
external devices.
