Core and Uncore Voltage Identification
The VID_VCCCORE[6:0] and VID_VCCUNCORE[6:0] lands supply the encoding that 
determine the voltage to be supplied by the VCCCORE and VCCUNCORE voltage 
regulators. The VID_VCCCORE and VID_VCCUNCORE specifications for the Intel
®
 
Itanium
®
 Processor 9300 Series and 9500 Series are defined in the Ararat 170 Watt 
Voltage Regulator Module Design Guide and Ararat  II  Voltage Regulator Module 
Design Guide
, respectively. The voltage set by the VID_VCCCORE and 
VID_VCCUNCORE lands are the maximum VCCCORE and VCCUNCORE voltage allowed 
by the processor. 
Individual processor VID_VCCCORE and VID_VCCUNCORE values may be calibrated 
during manufacturing such that two devices at the same core speed may have different 
default VID_VCCCORE and VID_VCCUNCORE settings. Furthermore, any Intel

Intel

 Processor 9500 Series can drive 
different VID_VCCCORE and VID_VCCUNCORE settings during normal operation. 
 specify the voltage levels corresponding to the state of 
VID_VCCCORE and VID_VCCUNCORE for the Intel
®
 Itanium
®
 Processor 9300 Series 
and Intel
®
 Itanium
®
 Processor 9500 Series respectively. A ‘1’ in this table refers to a 
high voltage level and a ‘0’ refers to a low voltage level. 
The Intel

 Itanium
®
 Processor 9300 Series and Intel
®
 Itanium
®
 Processor 9500 Series 
provide the ability to operate while transitioning to an adjacent VID and its associated 
processor core voltage (VCCCORE). This will represent a DC shift in the load line. It 
should be noted that a low-to-high or high-to-low voltage state change may result in 
many VID transitions as necessary to reach the target core voltage. Transitions above 
the specified VID are not permitted. 
The Ararat voltage regulator must be capable of regulating its output to the value 
defined by the new VID. Please refer to the Ararat 170 Watt Voltage Regulator Module 
Design Guide 
for the Intel
