 4 Processor 
with 512-KB L2 Cache on 0.13 Micron Process Thermal Design Guide 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.
The TCC may also be activated via On-Demand mode. If bit 4 of the ACPI Thermal Monitor 
Control Register is written to a 1 the TCC will be activated immediately, independent of the 
processor temperature. When using On-Demand mode to activate the TCC, the duty cycle of the 
clock modulation is programmable via bits 3:1 of the same ACPI Thermal Monitor Control 
Register. In automatic mode, the duty cycle is fixed, however 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 while Automatic mode is enabled. However, if the system tries to 
enable the TCC via On-Demand mode while automatic mode is enabled and a high temperature 
condition exists, the duty cycle of the automatic mode will override the duty cycle selected by the 
On-Demand mode. 
An external signal, PROCHOT# (processor hot) is asserted when the processor detects that its 
temperature is at the thermal trip point. Bus snooping and interrupt latching are also active while 
the TCC is active. The temperature at which the thermal control circuit activates is not user 
configurable and is not software visible. 
Besides the thermal sensor and TCC, the Thermal Monitor feature also includes one ACPI register, 
performance monitoring logic, bits in three model specific registers (MSR), and one I/O pin 
(PROCHOT#). All are available to monitor and control the state of the Thermal Monitor feature. 
Thermal Monitor can be configured to generate an interrupt upon the assertion or de-assertion of 
PROCHOT#.
If automatic mode is disabled, the processor will be operating out of specification. Regardless of 
enabling of the automatic or On-Demand modes, in the event of a catastrophic cooling failure, the 
processor will automatically shut down when the silicon has reached a temperature of 
approximately 135 °C. At this point the system bus signal THERMTRIP# will go active and stay 
active until RESET# has been initiated. THERMTRIP# activation is independent of processor 
activity and does not generate any bus cycles. If THERMTRIP# is asserted, processor core voltage 
(VCC) must be removed within the time frame defined in 
.
