1.

Unless otherwise noted, all specifications in this table are based on estimates and simulations or empirical 

data. These specifications will be updated with characterized data from silicon measurements at a later 

date.

2.

Each processor is programmed with a maximum valid voltage identification value (VID) that is set at 

manufacturing and cannot be altered. Individual maximum VID values are calibrated during manufacturing 

such that two processors at the same frequency may have different settings within the VID range. Note 

that this differs from the VID employed by the processor during a power management event (Adaptive 

Thermal Monitor, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, or Low Power States).

3.

The voltage specification requirements are measured across VCC_SENSE and VSS_SENSE lands at the 

socket with a 20-MHz bandwidth oscilloscope, 1.5 pF maximum probe capacitance, and 1-M minimum 

impedance. The maximum length of ground wire on the probe should be less than 5 mm. Ensure external 

noise from the system is not coupled into the oscilloscope probe. 

4.

ICC_MAX specification is based on the V

CC

 loadline at worst case (highest) tolerance and ripple.

5.

The V

CC 

specifications represent static and transient limits. 

6.

The loadlines specify voltage limits at the die measured at the VCC_SENSE and VSS_SENSE lands. Voltage 

regulation feedback for voltage regulator circuits must also be taken from processor VCC_SENSE and 

VSS_SENSE lands. 

7.

PSx refers to the voltage regulator power state as set by the SVID protocol. 

8.

2011A  (processors with 35 W TDP) loadline slope, TOB, and ripple specifications allow for a cost reduced 

voltage regulator for boards supporting only the 2011A  (processors with 35 W TDP). 2011A  (processors 

with 35 W TDP) processors may also use the loadline slope, TOB, and ripple specifications for the 2011D  

(processors with 95 W TDP), 2011C (processors with 65 W TDP), and 2011B (processors with 45 W TDP).
