Signal Name
Description 
Direction/Buffer 
Type
VCC
Processor core power rail.
Ref
VTT
(VTT0 and VTT1)
Processor I/O power rail (1.05 V). VTT0 
and VTT1 should share the same VR
Ref
VDDQ
DDR3 power rail (1.5 V)
Ref
VCCPLL
Power rail for filters and PLLs (1.8 V)
Ref
ISENSE
Current Sense from a VR-compliant regulator 
to the processor core. 
I
A
PROC_DPRSLPVR
Processor output signal to VR controller to 
indicate that the processor is in the package 
C6 state. 
O
CMOS
PSI#
Processor Power Status Indicator: This 
signal is asserted when the processor core 
current consumption is less than 15 A. 
Assertion of this signal is an indication that 
the VR controller does not currently need to 
provide ICC above 15 A. The VR controller 
can use this information to move to a more 
efficient operating point. This signal will de-
assert at least 3.3 µs before the current 
consumption will exceed 15 A. The minimum 
PSI# assertion and de-assertion time is 1 
BCLK.

Asynchronous CMOS
