Introduction
1Introduction
The Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor X6800 and Intel® Core™2 Duo desktop
processor E6000 and E4000 series combine the performance of the previous generation
of desktop products with the power efficiencies of a low-power microarchitecture to
enable smaller, quieter systems. These processors are 64-bit processors that maintain
compatibility with IA-32 software.
The Intel
processor E6000 and E4000 series use Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA6) package
technology, and plugs into a 775-land surface mount, Land Grid Array (LGA) socket,
referred to as the LGA775 socket.

Core™2 Duo desktop processor E6000 and E4000 series are referred

The processors support several Advanced Technologies including the Execute Disable
Bit, Intel

64 architecture, and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology. The Intel
Core™2 Duo desktop processor E6000 series and Intel Core™2 Extreme processor
X6800 support Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel VT). In addition, the Intel
Core™2 Duo desktop processors E6850, E6750, and E6550 support Intel

of address and data to improve performance by transferring data four times per bus
clock (4X data transfer rate, as in AGP 4X). Along with the 4X data bus, the address
bus can deliver addresses two times per bus clock and is referred to as a "doubleclocked" or 2X address bus. Working together, the 4X data bus and 2X address bus
provide a data bus bandwidth of up to 10.7 GB/s.
Intel has enabled support components for the processor including heatsink, heatsink
retention mechanism, and socket. Manufacturability is a high priority; hence,
mechanical assembly may be completed from the top of the baseboard and should not
require any special tooling.

1.1Terminology
A ‘#’ symbol after a signal name refers to an active low signal, indicating a signal is in
the active state when driven to a low level. For example, when RESET# is low, a reset
has been requested. Conversely, when NMI is high, a nonmaskable interrupt has
occurred. In the case of signals where the name does not imply an active state but
describes part of a binary sequence (such as address or data), the ‘#’ symbol implies
that the signal is inverted. For example, D[3:0] = ‘HLHL’ refers to a hex ‘A’, and
D[3:0]# = ‘LHLH’ also refers to a hex ‘A’ (H= High logic level, L= Low logic level).
The phrase “Front Side Bus” refers to the interface between the processor and system
core logic (a.k.a. the chipset components). The FSB is a multiprocessing interface to
processors, memory, and I/O.
1.1.1Processor Terminology
Commonly used terms are explained here for clarification:
®
• Intel
LGA6 package with a 4 MB L2 cache.
• IntelE6700, E6600, E6420, and E6320, — Dual core processor in the FC-LGA6
package with a 4 MB L2 cache.
• IntelE4500, E4400, and E4300— Dual core processor in the FC-LGA6 package with a
2MB L2 cache.
• Processor — For this document, the term processor is the generic form of the
Intel® Core™2 Duo desktop processor E6000 and E4000 series and the Intel®
Core™2 Extreme processor X6800. The processor is a single package that contains
one or more execution units.
• Keep-out zone — The area on or near the processor that system design can not
use.
• Processor core — Processor core die with integrated L2 cache.
• LGA775 socket — The processors mate with the system board through a surface
mount, 775-land, LGA socket.
• Integrated heat spreader (IHS) —A component of the processor package used
to enhance the thermal performance of the package. Component thermal solutions
interface with the processor at the IHS surface.
• Retention mechanism (RM) — Since the LGA775 socket does not include any
mechanical features for heatsink attach, a retention mechanism is required.
Component thermal solutions should attach to the processor via a retention
mechanism that is independent of the socket.
• FSB (Front Side Bus) — The electrical interface that connects the processor to
the chipset. Also referred to as the processor system bus or the system bus. All
memory and I/O transactions as well as interrupt messages pass between the
processor and chipset over the FSB.
• Storage conditions — Refers to a non-operational state. The processor may be
installed in a platform, in a tray , or loose. Processors may be sealed in packaging or
exposed to free air. Under these conditions, processor lands should not be
connected to any supply voltages, have any I/Os biased, or receive any clocks.
Upon exposure to “free air”(i.e., unsealed packaging or a device removed from
packaging material) the processor must be handled in accordance with moisture
sensitivity labeling (MSL) as indicated on the packaging material.

Introduction
• Functional operation — Refers to normal operating conditions in which all
processor specifications, including DC, AC, system bus, signal quality, mechanical
and thermal are satisfied.
• Execute Disable Bit — Allows memory to be marked as executable or nonexecutable, when combined with a supporting operating system. If code attempts
to run in non-executable memory the processor raises an error to the operating
system. This feature can prevent some classes of viruses or worms that exploit
buffer over run vulnerabilities and can thus help improve the over all security of the
system. See the Intel
®
Architecture Software Developer's Manual for more detailed
information.
• Intel® 64 Architecture — An enhancement to Intel's IA-32 architecture, allowing
the processor to execute operating systems and applications written to take
advantage of Intel 64 architecture. Further details on Intel 64 architecture and
programming model can be found in the Intel
®
Extended Memory 64 Technology
Software Developer Guide at http://www.intel.com/technology/intel64/index.htm.
®
• Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
Technology — Enhanced Intel Speedstep®
technology allows trade-offs to be made between performance and power
consumptions, based on processor utilization. This may lower average power
consumption (in conjunction with OS support).
• Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) — Intel Virtualization Technology
provides silicon-based functionality that works together with compatible Virtual
Machine Monitor (VMM) software to improve upon software-only solutions. Because
this virtualization hardware provides a new architecture upon which the operating
system can run directly, it removes the need for binary translation. Thus, it helps
eliminate associated performance overhead and vastly simplifies the design of the
VMM, in turn allowing VMMs to be written to common standards and to be more
robust. See the Intel
®
Virtualization Technology Specification for the IA-32 Intel®
Architecture for more details.
• Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)— Intel® T rusted Ex ecution
Technology (Intel
requires for operation a computer system with Intel
®
TXT) is a security technology under development by Intel and
®
Virtualization Technology, a
Intel Trusted Execution Technology-enabled Intel processor, chipset, BIOS,
Authenticated Code Modules, and an Intel or other Intel Trusted Execution
T echnology compatible measured virtual machine monitor. In addition, Intel T rusted
Execution Technology requires the system to contain a TPMv1.2 as defined by the
Trusted Computing Group and specific software for some uses.

signals. DC electrical characteristics are provided.

The processor has VCC (power), VTT and VSS (ground) inputs for on-chip power
distribution. All power lands must be connected to V

voltage determined by the Voltage IDentification (VID) lands.
The signals denoted as VTT provide termination for the front side bus and power to the
I/O buffers. A separate supply must be implemented for these lands, that meets the
VTT specifications outlined in Table 5.
2.2Decoupling Guidelines
Due to its large number of transistors and high internal clock speeds, the processor is
capable of generating large current swings. This may cause voltages on power planes
to sag below their minimum specified values if bulk decoupling is not adequate. Larger

coming out of an idle condition. Similarly, they act as a storage well for current when
entering an idle condition from a running condition. The motherboard must be designed

listed in Table 5. Failure to do so can result in timing violations or reduced lifetime of
the component.

2.2.1VCC Decoupling
VCC regulator solutions need to provide sufficient decoupling capacitance to satisfy the
processor voltage specifications. This includes bulk capacitance with low effective series
resistance (ESR) to keep the voltage rail within specifications during large swings in
load current. In addition, ceramic decoupling capacitors are required to filter high
frequency content generated by the front side bus and processor activity. Consult the
Voltage Regulator-Down (VRD) 11.0 Processor Power Delivery Design Guidelines For
Desktop LGA775 Socket.
2.2.2VTT Decoupling
Decoupling must be provided on the motherboard. Decoupling solutions must be sized
to meet the expected load. T o insure complian ce with the specifications, various factors
associated with the power delivery solution must be considered including regulator
type, power plane and trace sizing, and component placement. A conservative
decoupling solution would consist of a combination of low ESR bulk capacitors and high
frequency ceramic capacitors.
Datasheet15
2.2.3FSB Decoupling
The processor integrates signal termination on the die. In addition, some of the high
frequency capacitance required for the FSB is included on the processor package.
However, additional high frequency capacitance must be added to the motherboard to
properly decouple the return currents from the front side bus. Bulk decoupling must
also be provided by the motherboard for proper [A]GTL+ bus operation.
2.3Voltage Identification
The Voltage Identification (VID) specification for the processor is defined by the Voltage
Regulator-Down (VRD) 11.0 Processor Power Delivery Design Guidelines For Desktop
LGA775 Socket. The voltage set by the VID signals is the reference VR output voltage
to be delivered to the processor V
specifications). Refer to Table 13 for the DC specifications for these signals. Voltages
for each processor frequency is provided inTable 5.
Individual processor VID values may be calibrated during manufacturing such that two
devices at the same core speed may have different default VID settings. This is
reflected by the VID Range values provided in Table 5. Refer to the Intel
Desktop Processor E6000 and E4000 Series and Intel
X6800 Specification Update for further details on specific valid core frequency and VID
values of the processor. Note this differs from the VID employed by the processor
during a power management event (Thermal Monitor 2, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
Technology, or Extended HALT State).

The processor uses six voltage identification signals, VID[6:1], to support automatic
selection of power supply voltages. Table 2 specifies the voltage level corresponding to
the state of VID[6:1]. A ‘1’ in this table refers to a high voltage level and a ‘0’ refers to
a low voltage level. If the processor socket is empty (VID[6:1] = 111111), or the
voltage regulation circuit cannot supply the voltage that is requested, it must disable
itself. The Voltage Regulator-Down (VRD) 11.0 Processor Power Delivery Design Guidelines For Desktop LGA775 Socket defines VID [7:0], VID7 and VID0 are not used

Transitions above the specified VID are not permitted. Table 5 includes VID step sizes
and DC shift ranges. Minimum and maximum v oltages must be maintained as shown in
Table 6 and Figure 1 as measured across the VCC_SENSE and VSS_SENSE lands.
The VRM or VRD used must be capable of regulating its output to the value defined by
the new VID. DC specifications for dynamic VID transitions are included in Table 5 and
Table 6. Refer to the Voltage Regulator-Down (VRD) 11.0 Processor Power Delivery

In a system level design, on-die termination has been included by the processor to
allow signals to be terminated within the processor silicon. Most unused GTL+ inputs
should be left as no connects as GTL+ termination is provided on the processor silicon.
However, see Table 8 for details on GTL+ signals that do not include on-die termination.

must be used when tying bidirectional signals to power or ground. When tying any
signal to power or ground, a resistor will also allow for system testability. Resistor
values should be within ± 20% of the impedance of the motherboard trace for front
side bus signals. For unused GTL+ input or I/O signals, use pull-up resistors of the
same value as the on-die termination resistors (R
). For details, see Table 14.

TAP and CMOS signals do not include on-die termination. Inputs and used outputs must
be terminated on the motherboard. Unused outputs may be terminated on the
motherboard or left unconnected. Note that leaving unused outputs unterminated may

scan testing.
All TESTHI[13:0] lands should be individually connected to V

Electrical Specifications
The TESTHI signals may use individual pull-up resistors or be grouped together as
detailed below. A matched resistor must be used for each group:
• TESTHI[1:0]
• TESTHI[7:2]
• TESTHI8/FC42 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
• TESTHI9/FC43 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
• TESTHI10 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
• TESTHI11 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
• TESTHI12/FC44 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
• TESTHI13 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
However, utilization of boundary scan test will not be functional if these lands are
connected together. For optimum noise margin, all pull-up resistor values used for
TESTHI[13:0] lands should have a resistance value within ± 20% of the impedance of
the board transmission line traces. For example, if the nominal trace impedance is 50 Ω,
then a value between 40 Ω and 60 Ω should be used.
2.6Voltage and Current Specification
2.6.1Absolute Maximum and Minimum Ratings
Table 4 specifies absolute maximum and minimum ratings only and lie outside the
functional limits of the processor. Within functional operation limits, functionality and
long-term reliability can be expected.
At conditions outside functional operation condition limits, but within absolute
maximum and minimum ratings, neither functionality nor long-term reliability can be
expected. If a device is returned to conditions within functional operation limits after
having been subjected to conditions outside these limits, but within the absolute
maximum and minimum ratings, the device may be functional, but with its lifetime
degraded depending on exposure to conditions exceeding the functional operation
condition limits.
At conditions exceeding absolute maximum and minimum ratings, neither functionality
nor long-term reliability can be expected. Moreover, if a device is subjected to these
conditions for any length of time then, when returned to conditions within the
functional operating condition limits, it will either not function, or its reliability will be
severely degraded.
Although the processor contains protective circuitry to resist damage from static
electric discharge, precautions should always be taken to avoid high static voltages or
electric fields.

1. For functional operation, all processor electrical, signal quality, mechanical and thermal
specifications must be satisfied.
2. Excessive overshoot or undershoot on any signal will likely result in permanent damage to the
processor.
3. Storage temperature is applicable to storage conditions only. In this scenario, the processor must
not receive a clock, and no lands can be connected to a voltage bias. Storage within these limits
will not affect the long-term reliability of the device. For functional operation, refer to the
processor case temperature specifications .

2.7Signaling Specifications
Most processor Front Side Bus signals use Gunning Transceiver Logic (GTL+) signaling
technology. This technology provides improved noise margins and reduced ringing
through low voltage swings and controlled edge rates.Platforms implement a
termination voltage level for GTL+ signals defined as V
separate power planes for each processor (and chipset), separate V
are necessary. This configuration allows for improved noise tolerance as processor
frequency increases. Speed enhancements to data and address busses have caused
signal integrity considerations and platform design methods to become even more
critical than with previous processor families.
The GTL+ inputs require a reference voltage (GTLREF) which is used by the receivers to
determine if a signal is a logical 0 or a logical 1. GTLREF must be generated on the
motherboard (see Table 14 for GTLREF specifications). Termination resistors (R
GTL+ signals are provided on the processor silicon and are terminated to V
chipsets will also provide on-die termination, thus eliminating the need to terminate the
bus on the motherboard for most GTL+ signals.
2.7.1FSB Signal Groups
The front side bus signals have been combined into groups by buffer type. GTL+ input
signals have differential input buffers, which use GTLREF[1:0] as a reference level. In
this document, the term “GTL+ Input” refers to the GTL+ input group as well as the
GTL+ I/O group when receiving. Similarly, “GTL+ Output” refers to the GTL+ output
group as well as the GTL+ I/O group when driving.
With the implementation of a source synchronous data bus comes the need to specify
two sets of timing parameters. One set is for common clock signals which are
dependent upon the rising edge of BCLK0 (ADS#, HIT#, HITM#, etc.) and the second
set is for the source synchronous signals which are relative to their respective strobe
lines (data and address) as well as the rising edge of BCLK0. Asychronous signals are
still present (A20M#, IGNNE#, etc.) and can become active at any time during the
clock cycle. Table 8 identifies which signals are common clock, source synchronous,
and asynchronous.

NOTES:
1.Refer to Section 4.2 for signal descriptions.

signals are used to support a debug port interposer. In systems with the debug port
implemented on the system board, these signals are no connects.
3.The value of these signals durin g the active-to-inactive edge of RESET# defines the

4.PROCHOT# signal type is open drain output and CMOS input.
Legacy input signals such as A20M#, IGNNE#, INIT#, SMI#, and STPCLK# use CMOS
input buffers. All of the CMOS and Open Drain signals are required to be asserted/deasserted for at least four BCLKs in order for the processor to recognize the proper
signal state. See Section 2.7.3 for the DC. See Section 6.2 for additional timing
requirements for entering and leaving the low power states.

PECI is an Intel proprietary one-wire interface that provides a communication channel
between Intel processors (may also include chipset components in the future) and
external thermal monitoring devices. The processor contains Digital Thermal Sensors
(DTS) distributed throughout die. These sensors are implemented as analog-to-digital
converters calibrated at the factory for reasonable accuracy to provide a digital
representation of relative processor temperature. PECI provides an interface to relay
the highest DTS temperature within a die to external management devices for thermal/

3.1.1Processor Component Keep-Out Zones
The processor may contain components on the substrate that define component keepout zone requirements. A thermal and mechanical solution design must not intrude into
the required keep-out zones. Decoupling capacitors are typically mounted to either the
topside or land-side of the package substrate. See Figure 8 and Figure 9 for keep-out
zones. The location and quantity of package capacitors may change due to
manufacturing efficiencies but will remain within the component keep-in.
3.1.2Package Loading Specifications
Table 20 provides dynamic and static load specifications for the processor package.
These mechanical maximum load limits should not be exceeded during heatsink
assembly , shipping conditions, or standard use condition. Also, any mechanical system
or component testing should not exceed the maximum limits. The processor package
substrate should not be used as a mechanical reference or load-bearing surface for
thermal and mechanical solution. The minimum loading specification must be

are source synchronous signals and are latched into the receiving
buffers by ADSTB[1:0]#.
On the active-to-inactive transition of RESET#, the processor
samples a subset of the A[35:3]# signals to determine power-on
configuration. See Section 6.1 for more details.
If A20M# (Address-20 Mask) is asserted, the processor masks
physical address bit 20 (A20#) before looking up a line in any
internal cache and before driving a read/write transaction on the
bus. Asserting A20M# emulates the 8086 processor's address wraparound at the 1-MB boundary. Assertion of A20M# is only supported
in real mode.
A20M# is an asynchronous signal. However, to ensure recognition
of this signal following an Input/Output write instruction, it must be
valid along with the TRDY# assertion of the corresponding Input/
Output Write bus transaction.
ADS# (Address Strobe) is asserted to indicate the validity of the
transaction address on the A[35:3]# and REQ[4:0]# signals. All
bus agents observe the ADS# activation to begin protocol checking,
address decode, internal snoop, or deferred reply ID match
operations associated with the new transaction.
Address strobes are used to latch A[35:3]# and REQ[4:0]# on their
rising and falling edges. Strobes are associated with signals as
shown below.

BPM5# provides PREQ# (Probe Request) functionality for the TAP

the processor.
These signals do not have on-die termination.
BPRI# (Bus Priority Request) is used to arbitrate for ownership of
the processor FSB. It must connect the appropriate pins/lands of all
processor FSB agents. Observing BPRI# active (as asserted by the
priority agent) causes all other agents to stop issuing new requests,
unless such requests are part of an ongoing locked operation. The
priority agent keeps BPRI# asserted until all of its requests are
completed, then releases the bus by de-asserting BPRI#.
BR0# drives the BREQ0# signal in the system and is used by the
processor to request the bus. During power-on configuration this
signal is sampled to determine the agent ID = 0.
This signal does not have on-die termination and must be
terminated.
The BCLK[1:0] frequency select signals BSEL[2:0] are used to
select the processor input clock frequency. Table 16 defines the
possible combinations of the signals and the frequency associated
with each combination. The required frequency is determined by
the processor, chipset and clock synthesizer. All agents must
operate at the same frequency. For more information about these
signals, including termination recommendations refer to

D[63:0]# (Data) are the data signals. These signals provide a 64bit data path between the processor FSB agents, and must connect
the appropriate pins/lands on all such agents. The data driver
asserts DRDY# to indicate a valid data transfer.
D[63:0]# are quad-pumped signals and will, thus, be driven four
times in a common clock period. D[63:0]# are latched off the falling
edge of both DSTBP[3:0]# and DSTBN[3:0]#. Each group of 16
data signals correspond to a pair of one DSTBP# and one DSTBN#.

Furthermore, the DBI# signals determine the polarity of the data
signals. Each group of 16 data signals corresponds to one DBI#
signal. When the DBI# signal is active, the correspon ding data
group is inverted and therefore sampled active high.
DBI[3:0]# (Data Bus Inversion) are source synchronous and
indicate the polarity of the D[63:0]# signals.The DBI[3:0]# signals
are activated when the data on the data bus is inverted. If more
than half the data bits, within a 16-bit group, would have been
asserted electrically low, the bus agent may invert the data bus
signals for that particular sub-phase for that 16-bit group.
DBR# (Debug Reset) is used only in processor systems where no
debug port is implemented on the system board. DBR# is used by a
debug port interposer so that an in-target probe can drive system
reset. If a debug port is implemented in the system, DBR# is a no
connect in the system. DBR# is not a processor signal.
DBSY# (Data Bus Busy) is asserted by the agent responsible for
driving data on the processor FSB to indicate that the data bus is in
use. The data bus is released after DBSY# is de-asserted. This
signal must connect the appropriate pins/lands on all processor FSB
agents.

clock data transfer, DRDY# may be de-asserted to insert idle clocks.
This signal must connect the appropriate pins/lands of all processor
FSB agents.
DSTBN[3:0]# are the data strobes used to latch in D[63:0]#.
FC signals are signals that are available for compatibility with other
processors.
FERR#/PBE# (floating point error/pending break event) is a
multiplexed signal and its meaning is qualified by STPCLK#. When
STPCLK# is not asserted, FERR#/PBE# indicates a floating-point
error and will be asserted when the processor detects an unmasked
floating-point error. When STPCLK# is not asserted, FERR#/PBE# is
similar to the ERROR# signal on the Intel 387 coprocessor, and is
included for compatibility with systems using MS-DOS*-type
floating-point error reporting. When STPCLK# is asserted, an
assertion of FERR#/PBE# indicates that the processor has a
pending break event waiting for service. The assertion of FERR#/
PBE# indicates that the processor sh ould be returned t o the Normal
state. For additional information on the pending break event
functionality, including the identification of support of the feature
and enable/disable information, refer to volume 3 of the Intel
Architecture Software Developer's Manual and the Intel Processor
Identification and the CPUID Instruction application note.
GTLREF[1:0] determine the signal reference level for GTL+ input
signals. GTLREF is used by the GTL+ receivers to determine if a
signal is a logical 0 or logical 1.

HIT# (Snoop Hit) and HITM# (Hit Modified) convey transaction
snoop operation results. Any FSB agent may assert both HIT# and
HITM# together to indicate that it requires a snoop s tal l, which can
be continued by reasserting HIT# and HITM# together.
IERR# (Internal Error) is asserted by a processor as the result of an
internal error. Assertion of IERR# is usually accompanied by a
SHUTDOWN transaction on the processor FSB . This transactio n may
optionally be converted to an external error signal (e.g., NMI) by
system core logic. The processor will keep IERR# asserted until the
assertion of RESET#.
This signal does not have on-die termination. R efer to Section 2.6.2
for termination requirements.
IGNNE# (Ignore Numeric Error) is asserted to the processor to
ignore a numeric error and continue to execute noncontrol floatingpoint instructions. If IGNNE# is de-asserted, the processor
generates an exception on a noncontrol floating-point instruction if
a previous floating-point instruction caused an error. IGNNE# has
no effect when the NE bit in control register 0 (CR0) is set.
IGNNE# is an asynchronous signal. However, to ensure recognition
of this signal following an Input/Output write instruction, it must be
valid along with the TRDY# assertion of the corresponding Input/
Output Write bus transaction.
INIT# (Initialization), when asserted, resets integer registers inside
the processor without affecting its internal caches or floating-point
registers. The processor then begins execution at the power-on
Reset vector configured during power-on configuration. The
processor continues to handle snoop requests during INIT#
assertion. INIT# is an asynchronous signal and must connect the
appropriate pins/lands of all processor FSB agents.
ITP_CLK[1:0] are copies of BCLK that are used only in processor
systems where no debug port is implemented on the system board.
ITP_CLK[1:0] are used as BCLK[1:0] references for a debug port
implemented on an interposer. If a debug port is implemented in
the system, ITP_CLK[1:0] are no connects in the sy stem. These are
not processor signals.
LINT[1:0] (Local APIC Interrupt) must connect the appropriate
pins/lands of all APIC Bus agents. When the APIC is disabled, the
LINT0 signal becomes INTR, a maskable interrupt request signal,
and LINT1 becomes NMI, a nonmaskable interrupt. INTR and NMI
are backward compatible with the signals of those names on the
Pentium processor. Both signals are asynchronous .
Both of these signals must be software configured via BIOS
programming of the APIC register space to be used either as NMI/
INTR or LINT[1:0]. Because the APIC is enabled by default after
Reset, operation of these signals as LINT[1:0] is the default
configuration.

When the priority agent asserts BPRI# to arbitrate for ownership of
the processor FSB, it will wait until it observes LOCK# de-asserted.
This enables symmetric agents to retain ownership of the processor
FSB throughout the bus locked operation and en sure the atomicity
of lock.
These signals indicate the Market Segment for the processor. Refer
to Table 3 for additional information.
PECI is a proprietary one-wire bus interface. See Section 5.4 for
details.
As an output, PROCHOT# (Processor Hot) will go active when the
processor temperature monitoring sensor detects that the processor
has reached its maximum safe operating temperature. This
indicates that the processor Thermal Control Circuit (T CC) has been
activated, if enabled. As an input, assertion of PROCHOT# by the
system will activate the TCC, if enabled. The TCC will remain active
until the system de-asserts PROCHOT#. See Section 5.2.4 for more
details.
PWRGOOD (Power Good) is a processor input. The processor
requires this signal to be a clean indication that the clocks and
power supplies are stable and within their specifications. ‘Clean’
implies that the signal will remain low (c apable of sinking leakage
current), without glitches, from the time that the power supplies are
turned on until they come within specification. The signal must then
transition monotonically to a high state. PWRGOOD can be driven
inactive at any time, but clocks and power must again be stable
before a subsequent rising edge of PWRGOOD.
The PWRGOOD signal must be supplied to the processor; it is used
to protect internal circuits against voltage sequencing issues. It
should be driven high throughout boundary scan operation.
REQ[4:0]# (Request Command) must connect the appropriate pins/
lands of all processor FSB agents. They are assert ed by t h e c u rrent
bus owner to define the currently active transaction ty pe. These
signals are source synchronous to ADSTB0#.
Asserting the RESET# signal resets the processor to a known state
and invalidates its internal caches without writing back any of their
contents. For a power-on Reset, RESET# must stay active for at
least one millisecond after V
specifications. On observing active RESET#, all F S B agents will deassert their outputs within two clocks. RESET# must not be kept
asserted for more than 10 ms while PWRGOOD is asserted.
A number of bus signals are sampled at the active-to-inactive
transition of RESET# for power-on configuration. These
configuration options are described in the Section 6.1.
This signal does not have on-die termination and must be
terminated on the system board.

SKTOCC# (Socket Occupied) will be pulled to ground by the

SMI# (System Management Interrupt) is asserted asynchronously
by system logic. On accepting a System Management Interrupt, the
processor saves the current state and enter System Management
Mode (SMM). An SMI Acknowledge transaction is issued, and the
processor begins program execution from the SMM handler.
If SMI# is asserted during the de-assertion of RESET#, the
processor will tri-state its outputs.
STPCLK# (Stop Clock), when asserted, causes the processor to
enter a low power Stop-Grant state. The processor issues a StopGrant Acknowledge transaction, and stops providing internal clock
signals to all processor core units except the FSB and APIC units.
The processor continues to snoop bus transactions and service
interrupts while in Stop-Grant state. Wh en STPCLK# is de-asserted,
the processor restarts its internal clock to all unit s and resumes
execution. The assertion of STPCLK# has no effect on the bus clock;
STPCLK# is an asynchronous input.
TCK (Test Clock) provides the clock input for the processor Test Bus
(also known as the Test Access Port).
TDI (Test Data In) transfers serial test data into the processor. TDI
provides the serial input needed for JTAG specification support.

Thermal Specifications and Design Considerations
5Thermal Specifications and
Design Considerations
5.1Processor Thermal Specifications
The processor requires a thermal solution to maintain temperatures within the
operating limits as described in Section 5.1.1. Any attempt to operate the processor
outside these operating limits may result in permanent damage to the processor and
potentially other components within the system. As processor technology changes,
thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems.
Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system
operation.
A complete thermal solution includes both component and system level thermal
management features. Component level thermal solutions can include active or passive
heatsinks attached to the processor Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS). Typical system
level thermal solutions may consist of system fans combined with ducting and venting.
For more information on designing a component level thermal solution, refer to the
appropriate Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines (see Section 1.2).
Note:The boxed processor will ship with a component thermal solution. Refer to Chapter 7
for details on the boxed processor.
5.1.1Thermal Specifications
To allow for the optimal operation and long-term reliability of Intel processor-based
systems, the system/processor thermal solution should be designed such that the
processor remains within the minimum and maximum case temperature (T
specifications when operating at or below the Thermal Design Power (TDP) value listed
per frequency in Table 26. Thermal solutions not designed to provide this level of
thermal capability may affect the long-term reliability of the processor and system. For
more details on thermal solution design, refer to the appropriate Thermal and
Mechanical Design Guidelines (see Section 1.2).
The processor uses a methodology for managing processor temperatures which is
intended to support acoustic noise reduction through fan speed control. Selection of the
appropriate fan speed is based on the relative temperature data reported by the
processor’s Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) bus as described in
Section 5.4.1.1. The temperature reported over PECI is always a negative value and
represents a delta below the onset of thermal control circuit (TCC) activation, as
indicated by PROCHOT# (see Section 5.2). Systems that implement fan speed control
must be designed to take these conditions in to account. Systems that do not alter the
fan speed only need to
specifications.
T o determine a processor's case temperature specification based on the thermal profile,
it is necessary to accurately measure processor power dissipation. Intel has developed
a methodology for accurate power measurement that correlates to Intel test
temperature and voltage conditions. Refer to the appropriate Thermal and Mechanical
Design Guidelines (see Section 1.2) and the Processor Power Characterization Methodology for the details of this methodology.

5.2Processor Thermal Features
5.2.1Thermal Monitor
The Thermal Monitor feature helps control the processor temper ature by activ ating the
thermal control circuit (TCC) when the processor silicon reaches its maximum operating
temperature. The TCC reduces processor power consumption by modulating (starting
and stopping) the internal processor core clocks. The Thermal Monitor feature must be enabled for the processor to be operating within specifications. The
temperature at which Thermal Monitor activates the thermal control circuit is not user
configurable and is not software visible. Bus traffic is snooped in the normal manner,
and interrupt requests are latched (and serviced during the time that the clocks are on)
while the TCC is active.
Measure TCat this point
Measure TCat this point
(geo metric center of the package)
(geo metric center of the package)
When the Thermal Monitor feature is enabled, and a high temperature situation exists
(i.e., TC C is active), the clocks will be modulated by alternately turning the clocks off
and on at a duty cycle specific to the processor (typically 30–50%). Clocks often will
not be off for more than 3.0 microseconds when the TCC is active. Cycle times are
processor speed dependent and will decrease as processor core frequencies increase. A
small amount of hysteresis has been included to prevent rapid active/inactive
transitions of the TCC when the processor temperature is near its maximum operating
temperature. Once the temperature has dropped below the maximum operating
temperature, and the hysteresis timer has expired, the TCC goes inactive and clock
modulation ceases.
With a properly designed and characterized thermal solution, it is anticipated that the
TCC would only be activated for very short periods of time when running the most
power intensive applications. The processor performance impact due to these brief
periods of TCC activation is expected to be so minor that it would be immeasurable. An
under-designed thermal solution that is not able to prevent excessive activation of the
TCC in the anticipated ambient environment may cause a noticeable performance loss,
84Datasheet
Thermal Specifications and Design Considerations
and in some cases may result in a TC that exceeds the specified maximum temperature
and may affect the long-term reliability of the processor. In addition, a thermal solution
that is significantly under-designed may not be capable of cooling the processor even
when the TCC is active continuously. Refer to the appropriate Thermal and Mechanical
Design Guidelines (see Section 1.2) for information on designing a thermal solution.
The duty cycle for the TCC, when activated by the Thermal Monitor, is factory
configured and cannot be modified. The Thermal Monitor does not require any
additional hardware, software drivers, or interrupt handling routines.
5.2.2Thermal Monitor 2
The processor also supports an additional power reduction capability known as Thermal
Monitor 2. This mechanism provides an efficient means for limiting the processor
temperature by reducing the power consumption within the processor.
When Thermal Monitor 2 is enabled, and a high temperature situation is detected, the
Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) will be activated. The TCC causes the processor to adjust
its operating frequency (via the bus multiplier) and input voltage (via the VID signals).
This combination of reduced frequency and VID results in a reduction to the processor
power consumption.
A processor enabled for Thermal Monitor 2 includes two operating points, each
consisting of a specific operating frequency and voltage. The first operating point
represents the normal operating condition for the processor. Under this condition, the
core-frequency-to-FSB multiple used by the processor is that contained in the
appropriate MSR and the VID is that specified in Table 5. These parameters represent
normal system operation.
The second operating point consists of both a lower operating frequency and voltage.
When the TCC is activated, the processor automatically transitions to the new
frequency. This transition occurs very rapidly (on the order of 5 μs). During the
frequency transition, the processor is unable to service any bus requests, and
consequently, all bus traffic is blocked. Edge-triggered interrupts will be latched and
kept pending until the processor resumes operation at the new frequency.
Once the new operating frequency is engaged, the processor will transition to the new
core operating voltage by issuing a new VID code to the voltage regulator. The voltage
regulator must support dynamic VID steps to support Thermal Monitor 2. During the
voltage change, it will be necessary to transition through multiple VID codes to reach
the target operating voltage. Each step will likely be one VID table entry (see Table 5).
The processor continues to execute instructions during the voltage transition.
Operation at the lower voltage reduces the power consumption of the processor.
A small amount of hysteresis has been included to prevent rapid active/inactive
transitions of the TCC when the processor temperature is near its maximum operating
temperature. Once the temperature has dropped below the maximum operating
temperature, and the hysteresis timer has expired, the operating frequency and
voltage transition back to the normal system operating point. Transition of the VID code
will occur first, to insure proper operation once the processor reaches its normal
operating frequency. Refer to Figure 25 for an illustration of this ordering.

It should be noted that the Thermal Monitor 2 TCC cannot be activated via the on
demand mode. The Thermal Monitor TCC, however, can be activated through the use of
the on demand mode.
5.2.3On-Demand Mode
The processor provides an auxiliary mechanism that allows system software to force
the processor to reduce its power consumption. This mechanism is referred to as “OnDemand” mode and is distinct from the Thermal Monitor feature. On-Demand mode is
intended as a means to reduce system level power consumption. Systems using the
processor must not rely on software usage of this mechanism to limit the processor
temperature.
The processor provides an auxiliary mechanism that allows system software to force

features. On-Demand mode is intended as a means to reduce system level power
consumption. Systems must not rely on software usage of this mechanism to limit the
processor temperature. If bit 4 of the IA32_CLOCK_MODULATION MSR is set to a 1, the
processor will immediately reduce its power consumption via modulation (starting and
stopping) of the internal core clock, independent of the processor temperature. When
using On-Demand mode, the duty cycle of the clock modulation is programmable via
bits 3:1 of the same IA32_CLOCK_MODULATION MSR. In On-Demand mode, the duty
cycle can be programmed from 12.5% on/ 87.5% off to 87.5% on/ 12.5% off in 12.5%
increments. On-Demand mode may be used in conjunction with the Thermal Monitor;
however, if the system tries to enable On-Demand mode at the same time the TCC is
engaged, the factory configured duty cycle of the TCC will override the duty cycle
selected by the On-Demand mode.
86Datasheet
Thermal Specifications and Design Considerations
5.2.4PROCHOT# Signal
An external signal, PROCHOT# (processor hot), is asserted when the processor core
temperature has reached its maximum operating temperature. If the Thermal Monitor
is enabled (note that the Thermal Monitor must be enabled for the processor to be
operating within specification), the TCC will be active when PROCHOT# is asserted. The
processor can be configured to generate an interrupt upon the assertion or deassertion of PROCHOT#.
As an output, PROCHOT# (Processor Hot) will go active when the processor
temperature monitoring sensor detects that one or both cores has reached its
maximum safe operating temperature. This indicates that the processor Thermal
Control Circuit (TCC) has been activated, if enabled. As an input, assertion of
PROCHOT# by the system will activate the TCC, if enabled, for both cores. The T CC will
remain active until the system de-asserts PROCHOT#.
PROCHOT# allows for some protection of various components from over-temperature
situations. The PROCHOT# signal is bi-directional in that it can either signal when the
processor (either core) has reached its maximum operating temperature or be driven
from an external source to activate the TCC. The ability to activate the TCC via
PROCHOT# can provide a means for thermal protection of system components.
PROCHOT# can allow VR thermal designs to target maximum sustained current instead
of maximum current. Systems should still provide proper cooling for the VR, and rely
on PROCHOT# only as a backup in case of system cooling failure. The system thermal
design should allow the power delivery circuitry to operate within its temperature
specification even while the processor is operating at its Thermal Design Power. With a
properly designed and characterized thermal solution, it is anticipated that PROCHOT#
would only be asserted for very short periods of time when running the most power
intensive applications. An under-designed thermal solution that is not able to prevent
excessive assertion of PROCHOT# in the anticipated ambient environment may cause a
noticeable performance loss. Refer to the Voltage Regulator-Down (VRD) 11.0 Processor Power Delivery Design Guidelines For Desktop LGA775 Socket for details on
implementing the bi-directional PROCHOT# feature.
5.2.5THERMTRIP# Signal
Regardless of whether or not Thermal Monitor or Thermal Monitor 2 is enabled, in the
event of a catastrophic cooling failure, the processor will automatically shut down when
the silicon has reached an elevated temperature (refer to the THERMTRIP# definition in
Table 25). At this point, the FSB signal THERMTRIP# will go active and stay active as
described in Table 25. THERMTRIP# activation is independent of processor activity and
does not generate any bus cycles.
Datasheet87
5.3Thermal Diode
The processor incorporates an on-die PNP transistor where the base emitter junction is
used as a thermal "diode", with its collector shorted to ground. A thermal sensor
located on the system board may monitor the die temperature of the processor for
thermal management and fan speed control. Table 32,Table 33, and Table 34 provide
the "diode" parameter and interface specifications. Two different sets of "diode"
parameters are listed in Table 32 and Table 33. The Diode Model parameters (Table 32)
apply to traditional thermal sensors that use the Diode Equation to determine the
processor temperature. Transistor Model parameters (Table 33) have been added to
support thermal sensors that use the transistor equation method. The Transistor Model
may provide more accurate temperature measurements when the diode ideality factor
is closer to the maximum or minimum limits. This thermal "diode" is separate from the
Thermal Monitor's thermal sensor and cannot be used to predict the behavior of the
Thermal Monitor.

5.4Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI)
5.4.1Introduction
PECI offers an interface for thermal monitoring of Intel processor and chipset
components. It uses a single wire, thus alleviating routing congestion issues. Figure 26
shows an example of the PECI topology in a system. PECI uses CRC checking on the
host side to ensure reliable transfers between the host and client devices. Also, data
transfer speeds across the PECI interface are negotiable within a wide range (2 Kbps to
2 Mbps). The PECI interface on the processor is disabled by de fault and must be
enabled through BIOS.

5.4.2PECI Specifications
5.4.2.1PECI Device Address
The PECI device address for the socket is 30h. For more information on PECI domains,
refer to the Platform Environment Control Interface Specification.
5.4.2.2PECI Command Support
PECI command support is covered in detail in the Platform Environment Control
Interface Specification. Refer to this document for details on supported PECI command
function and codes.
5.4.2.3PECI Fault Handling Requirements
PECI is largely a fault tolerant interface, including noise immunity and error checking
improvements over other comparable industry standard interfaces. The PECI client is
as reliable as the device that it is embedded in, and thus given operating conditions
that fall under the specification, the PECI will always respond to requests and the
protocol itself can be relied upon to detect any transmission failures. There are,
however, certain scenarios where the PECI is know to be unresponsive.
Prior to a power on RESET# and during RESET# assertion, PECI is not ensured to
provide reliable thermal data. System designs should implement a default power-on
condition that ensures proper processor operation during the time frame when reliable
data is not available via PECI.
Thermal Specifications and Design Considerations
To protect platforms from potential operational or safety issues due to an abnormal
condition on PECI, the Host controller should take action to protect the system from
possible damaging states. It is recommended that the PECI host controller take
appropriate action to protect the client processor device if valid temperature readings
have not been obtained in response to three consecutive gettemp()s or for a one
second time interval. The host controller may also implement an alert to software in the
event of a critical or continuous fault condition.

6.2.2.1HALT Powerdown State
HAL T is a low power state entered when all the processor cores have executed the HALT
or MWAIT instructions. When one of the processor cores executes the HALT instruction,
that processor core is halted; however, the other processor continues normal operation.
The processor transitions to the Normal state upon the occurrence of SMI#, INIT#, or
LINT[1:0] (NMI, INTR). RESET# causes the processor to immediately initialize itself.
The return from a System Management Interrupt (SMI) handler can be to either
Normal Mode or the HALT Power Down state. See the Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Volume III: System Programmer's Guide for more information.
94Datasheet
Features
The system can generate a STPCLK# while the processor is in the HALT powerdown
state. When the system de-asserts the STPCLK# interrupt, the processor will return
execution to the HALT state.
While in HALT Power powerdown, the processor processes bus snoops.
6.2.2.2Extended HALT Powerdown State
Extended HALT is a low power state entered when all processor cores have executed
the HALT or MWAIT instructions and Extended HALT has been enabled via the BIOS.
When one of the processor cores executes the HALT instruction, that logical processor
is halted; however, the other processor continues normal operation. The Extended
HAL T Powerdown state must be enabled via the BIOS for the processor to remain within
its specification.
The processor automatically transitions to a lower frequency and voltage operating
point before entering the Extended HALT state. Note that the processor FSB frequency
is not altered; only the internal core frequency is changed. When entering the low
power state, the processor first switches to the lower bus ratio and then transitions to
the lower VID.
While in Extended HALT state, the processor processes bus snoops.
The processor exits the Extended HALT state when a break event occurs. When the
processor exits the Extended HALT state, it will resume operation at the lower
frequency , transitions the VID to the original value and then changes the bus ratio back
to the original value.
6.2.3Stop Grant and Extended Stop Grant States
The processor supports the Stop Grant and Extended Stop Grant states. The Extended
Stop Grant state is a feature that must be configured and enabled via the BIOS. Refer
to the following sections for details about the Stop Grant and Extended Stop Grant
states.
6.2.3.1Stop Grant State
When the STPCLK# signal is asserted, the Stop Grant state of the processor is entered
20 bus clocks after the response phase of the processor-issued Stop Grant
Acknowledge special bus cycle.
Since the GTL+ signals receive power from the FSB, these signals should not be driven
(allowing the level to return to V
resistors in this state. In addition, all other input signals on the FSB should be driven to
the inactive state.
RESET# causes the processor to immediately initialize itself, but the processor will stay
in Stop Grant state. A transition back to the Normal state occurs with the de-assertion
of the STPCLK# signal.
A transition to the Grant Snoop state occurs when the processor detects a snoop on the
FSB (see Section 6.2.4).
While in the Stop Grant State, SMI#, INIT#, and LINT[1:0] is latched by the processor,

6.2.3.2Extended Stop Grant State
Extended Stop Grant is a low power state entered when the STPCLK# signal is asserted
and Extended Stop Grant has been enabled via the BIOS.
The processor will automatically transition to a lower frequency and voltage operating
point before entering the Extended Stop Grant state. When entering the low power
state, the processor will first switch to the lower bus ratio and then transition to the
lower VID.
The processor exits the Extended Stop Grant state when a break event occurs. When
the processor exits the Extended Stop Grant state, it will resume operation at the lower
frequency, transition the VID to the original value, and then change the bus ratio back
to the original value.
6.2.4Extended HALT State, HALT Snoop State, Extended Stop
Grant Snoop State, and Stop Grant Snoop State
The Extended HALT Snoop State is used in conjunction with the new Extended HALT
state. If Extended HALT state is not enabled in the BIOS, the default Snoop State
entered will be the HALT Snoop State. Refer to the following sections for details on
HALT Snoop State, Stop Grant Snoop State and Extended HALT Snoop State, and
Extended Stop Grant Snoop State.
6.2.4.1HALT Snoop State, Stop Grant Snoop State
The processor will respond to snoop transactions on the FSB while in Stop Grant state
or in HALT Power Down state. During a snoop transaction, the processor enters the
HAL T Snoop State:Stop Grant Snoop state. The processor will stay in this state until the
snoop on the FSB has been serviced (whether by the processor or another agent on the
FSB). After the snoop is serviced, the processor returns to the Stop Grant state or HAL T
Power Down state, as appropriate.
6.2.4.2Extended HALT Snoop State, Extended Stop Grant Snoop State
The processor will remain in the lower bus ratio and VID operating point of the
Extended HAL T state or Extended Stop Grant state. While in the Extended HALT Snoop
State or Extended Stop Grant Snoop State, snoops are handled the same way as in the
HALT Snoop State or Stop Grant Snoop State. After the snoop is serviced, the
processor will return to the Extended HALT state or Extended Stop Grant state.

components. The boxed processor will be supplied with a cooling solution. This chapter
documents baseboard and system requirements for the cooling solution that will be
supplied with the boxed processor. This chapter is particularly important for OEMs that
manufacture baseboards for system integrators. Figure 30 shows a mechanical
representation of a boxed processor.
Note:Unless otherwise noted, all figures in this chapter are dimensioned in millimeters and
inches [in brackets].
Note:Drawings in this section reflect only the specifications on the Intel boxed processor
Figure 30.Mechanical Representation of the Boxed Processor
product. These dimensions should not be used as a generic keep-out zone for all
cooling solutions. It is the system designers’ responsibility to consider their proprietary
cooling solution when designing to the required keep-out zone on their system
platforms and chassis. Refer to the appropriate Thermal and Mechanical Design
Guidelines (see Section 1.2) for further guidance.
NOTE: The airflow of the fan heatsink is into the center and out of the sides of the fan heatsink.

7.1.1Boxed Processor Cooling Solution Dimensions
This section documents the mechanical specifications of the boxed processor. The
boxed processor will be shipped with an unattached fan heatsink. Figure 30 shows a
mechanical representation of the boxed processor.
Clearance is required around the fan heatsink to ensure unimpeded airflow for proper
cooling. The physical space requirements and dimensions for the boxed processor with
assembled fan heatsink are shown in Figure 31 (Side View), and Figure 32 (Top View).
The airspace requirements for the boxed processor fan heatsink must also be
incorporated into new baseboard and system designs. Airspace requirements are
shown in Figure 36 and Figure 37. Note that some figures have centerlines shown
(marked with alphabetic designations) to clarify relative dimensioning.
