Reserved or Unused Signals
The following are the general types of reserved (RSVD) signals and connection
guidelines:
•
•
RSVD – these signals should not be connected
•
RSVD_TP – these signals should be routed to a test point
•
RSVD_NCTF – these signals are non-critical to function and may be left un-
connected
Arbitrary connection of these signals to VCC, VDDQ, VSS, or to any other signal
(including each other) may result in component malfunction or incompatibility with
future processors. See
on page 77 for a pin listing of the processor
and the location of all reserved signals.
For reliable operation, always connect unused inputs or bi-directional signals to an
appropriate signal level. Unused active high inputs should be connected through a
resistor to ground (VSS). Unused outputs maybe left unconnected; however, this may
interfere with some Test Access Port (TAP) functions, complicate debug probing, and
prevent boundary scan testing. A resistor must be used when tying bi-directional
signals to power or ground. When tying any signal to power or ground, a resistor will
also allow for system testability.

Signal Groups
Signals are grouped by buffer type and similar characteristics as listed in the following
table. The buffer type indicates which signaling technology and specifications apply to
the signals. All the differential signals and selected DDR3/DDR3L and Control Sideband
signals have On-Die Termination (ODT) resistors. Some signals do not have ODT and
need to be terminated on the board.
Note:
All Control Sideband Asynchronous signals are required to be asserted/de-asserted for
at least 10 BCLKs with maximum Trise/Tfall of 6 ns in order for the processor to
on page 93.
