3.1
Overview
The following checklist is intended to be used for schematic reviews of Intel
®
 440GX AGPset 
desktop designs. It does not represent the only way to design the system, but provides 
recommendations based on the Intel
®
 440GX AGPset reference platform.

Pull-up and Pull-down Resistor Values
Pull-up and pull-down values are system dependent. The appropriate value for your system can be 
determined from an AC/DC analysis of the pull-up voltage used, the current drive capability of the 
output driver, input leakage currents of all devices on the signal net, the pull-up voltage tolerance, 
the pull-up/pull-down resistor tolerance, the input high/low voltage specifications, the input timing 
specifications (RC rise time), etc. Analysis should be done to determine the minimum/maximum 
values that may be used on an individual signal. Engineering judgment should be used to determine 
the optimal value. This determination can include cost concerns, commonality considerations, 
manufacturing issues, specifications and other considerations.
A simplistic DC calculation for a pull-up value is:
R
MAX
 = (Vcc
PU
 MIN - V
IH
 MIN) / I
Leakage
 MAX
R
MIN
 = (Vcc
PU
 MAX - V
IL
 MAX) / I
OL
 MAX
Since I
Leakage
 MAX is normally very small, R
MAX
 may not be meaningful. R
MAX
 is also 
determined by the maximum allowable rise time. The following calculation allows for t, the 
maximum allowable rise time, and C, the total load capacitance in the circuit, including input 
capacitance of the devices to be driven, output capacitance of the driver, and line capacitance. This 
calculation yields the largest pull-up resistor allowable to meet the rise time t.
A simplistic AC calculation for a pull-up value is:=
R
MAX
 = -t / ( C * ln( 1 - (V
IH
 MIN / Vcc
PU
 MIN) ) )
