Processor Clocking (BCLK[0], BCLK#[0])
The processor uses a differential clock to generate the processor core(s) operating
frequency, memory controller frequency, and other internal clocks. The processor core
frequency is determined by multiplying the processor core ratio by 133 MHz. Clock
multiplying within the processor is provided by an internal phase locked loop (PLL) that
requires a constant frequency input, with exceptions for Spread Spectrum Clocking
(SSC).

frequency is determined by multiplying the processor core ratio by 133 MHz. Clock

requires a constant frequency input, with exceptions for Spread Spectrum Clocking

The processor maximum core frequency is configured during power-on reset by using
its manufacturing default value. This value is the highest core multiplier at which the
processor can operate. If lower maximum speeds are desired, the appropriate ratio can
be configured using the FLEX_RATIO MSR.

Voltage Identification (VID)
The VID specification for the processor is defined by the Voltage Regulator Down (VRD)
11.1 Design Guidelines. The processor

uses eight voltage identification signals,
VID[7:0], to support automatic selection of voltages.
specifies the voltage
level corresponding to the state of VID[7:0]. A ‘1’ in this table refers to a high voltage
level and a ‘0’ refers to a low voltage level. If the processor socket is empty (VID[7:0]
= 11111111), or the voltage regulation circuit cannot supply the voltage that is
requested, the voltage regulator must disable itself. See the Voltage Regulator Down
(VRD) 11.1 Design Guidelines for further details. VID signals are CMOS push/pull
drivers. Refer to

for the DC specifications for these signals. The VID codes
will change due to temperature and/or current load changes to minimize the power of
the part. A voltage range is provided in

. The specifications are set so that one
voltage regulator can operate with all supported frequencies.
Individual processor VID values may be set during manufacturing so that two devices
at the same core frequency may have different default VID settings. This is shown in
the VID range values in

the VID range values in
. The processor
provides the ability to operate while
transitioning to an adjacent VID and its associated processor core voltage (V
CC
). This
will represent a DC shift in the loadline.
Note:
A low-to-high or high-to-low voltage state change will result in as many VID transitions
as necessary to reach the target core voltage. Transitions above the maximum
specified VID are not permitted. One VID transition occurs in 1.25 us.
