Introduction 
The document provides DC electrical specifications, pinout and signal definitions, 
interface functional descriptions, and additional feature information pertinent to the 
implementation and operation of the processor on its respective platform.
Throughout this document, Intel
®
 Atom™ Processor N400 Series is referred as the 
processor and Intel
®
 NM10 Family Express Chipset is referred as the chipset.
The processor is built on 45-nanometer Hi-K process technology. The processor is 
designed for a two-chip platform as opposed to the traditional three-chip platforms 
(processor, GMCH, and ICH). The two-chip platform consists of a processor and a 
chipset which enables better performance, lower cost, easier validation, and improved 
x-y footprint. The processor is offered in an BGA559 package.
Included in this family of processors is an integrated memory controller (IMC), 
integrated graphics processing unit (GPU) and integrated I/O (IIO) (such as DMI) on a 
single silicon die. This single die solution is known as a monolithic processor.
