Electrical Specifications
2.1
System Bus and V
REF
Celeron processor signals use a variation of the low voltage Gunning Transceiver Logic (GTL) 
signaling technology. The Intel
 
Celeron processor system bus specification is similar to the GTL 
specification, but has been enhanced to provide larger noise margins and reduced ringing. The 
improvements are accomplished by increasing the termination voltage level and controlling the 
edge rates. Because this specification is different from the standard GTL specification, it is referred 
to as Assisted Gunning Transceiver Logic (AGTL+) in this document.
The Celeron processor varies from the Pentium Pro processor in its output buffer implementation. 
The buffers that drive the system bus signals on the Celeron processor are actively driven to 
V
CCCORE
 for one clock cycle during the low-to-high transition. This improves rise times and 
reduces overshoot. These signals should still be considered open-drain and require termination to a 
supply that provides the logic-high signal level.
The AGTL+ inputs use differential receivers which require a reference signal (V
REF
). V
REF
 is used 
by the receivers to determine if a signal is a logic-high or a logic-low, and is provided to the 
processor core by either the processor substrate (S.E.P. Package) or the motherboard (PGA370 
socket). Local V
REF
 copies should be generated on the motherboard for all other devices on the 
AGTL+ system bus.
Termination is used to pull the bus up to the high voltage level and to control reflections on the 
transmission line. The processor may contain termination resistors (S.E.P. Package, FC-PGA 
Package, and FC-PGA2 Package) that provide termination for one end of the Intel Celeron 
processor system bus. Otherwise, this termination must exist on the motherboard. 
Solutions exist for single-ended termination as well, though this implementation changes system 
design and eliminate backwards compatibility for Celeron processors in the PPGA package. 
Single-ended termination designs must still provide an AGTL+ termination resistor on the 
motherboard for the RESET# signal. 
The AGTL+ bus depends on incident wave switching. Therefore timing calculations for AGTL+ 
signals are based on motherboard flight time as opposed to capacitive deratings. Analog signal 
simulation of the Intel Celeron processor system bus, including trace lengths, is highly 
recommended when designing a system. See the Pentium

and the Pentium

2.2
Clock Control and Low Power States
Celeron processors allow the use of AutoHALT, Stop-Grant, Sleep, and Deep Sleep states to reduce 
power consumption by stopping the clock to internal sections of the processor, depending on each 
particular state. See 
 for a visual representation of the Intel Celeron processor low power 
states.
For the processor to fully realize the low current consumption of the Stop-Grant, Sleep, and Deep 
Sleep states, a Model Specific Register (MSR) bit must be set. For the MSR at 02Ah (hex), bit 26 
must be set to a ‘1’ (this is the power on default setting) for the processor to stop all internal clocks 
during these modes. For more information, see the Pentium
