Table 6-10. PECI Signals
Signal Name
Description 
PECI
PECI (Platform Environment Control Interface) is the serial 
sideband interface to the processor and is used primarily for 
thermal, power and error management. Details regarding the PECI 
electrical specifications, protocols and functions can be found in 
the Platform Environment Control Interface Specification.
Table 6-11. System Reference Clock (BCLK{0/1}) Signals 
Signal Name
Description 
BCLK{0/1}_D[N/P]
Reference Clock Differential input. These pins provide the PLL 
reference clock differential input into the processor. 100 MHz 
typical BCLK0 is the QPI reference clock (system clock) and BCLK1 
is the PCI Express* reference clock.

Signal Name
Description 
BPM_N[7:0]
Breakpoint and Performance Monitor Signals: I/O signals from the 
processor that indicate the status of breakpoints and 
programmable counters used for monitoring processor 
performance. These are 100 MHz signals.
EAR_N
External Alignment of Reset, used to bring the processor up into a 
deterministic state. This signal is pulled up on the die, refer to 
Table 7-6
 for details. 
PRDY_N
Probe Mode Ready is a processor output used by debug tools to 
determine processor debug readiness.
PREQ_N
Probe Mode Request is used by debug tools to request debug 
operation of the processor.
TCK
TCK (Test Clock) provides the clock input for the processor Test 
Bus (also known as the Test Access Port).
TDI
TDI (Test Data In) transfers serial test data into the processor. TDI 
provides the serial input needed for JTAG specification support.
TDO
TDO (Test Data Out) transfers serial test data out of the processor. 
TDO provides the serial output needed for JTAG specification 
support.
TMS
TMS (Test Mode Select) is a JTAG specification support signal used 
by debug tools.
TRST_N
TRST_N (Test Reset) resets the Test Access Port (TAP) logic. 
TRST_N must be driven low during power on Reset.
