Design Checklist
3.7.3
PIIX4E Power And Ground Pins
Vcc, Vcc(RTC), Vcc(SUS), and Vcc(USB) must be tied to 3.3V.
V
REF
 must be tied to 5V in a 5V tolerant system. This signal must be power up before or 
simultaneous to Vcc, and it must be power down after or simultaneous to Vcc. For the layout 
guidelines, refer to the Pin Description section of the PIIX4E datasheet. The V
REF
 circuitry 
can be shared between 82443GX and the PIIX4E. If the circuitry is placed close to the PIIX4E, 
then  ensure that an extra 1uF capacitor is placed on the V
REF
 pin of the 82443GX.
— STR support: For systems implementing STR support, a separate V
REF
 circuit must be 
used for each of the two devices since the PIIX4E Core and the 82443GX Host Bridge 
should be supplied by the different power planes. 
— No STR support: The V
REF
 circuitry can be shared between 82443GX and the PIIX4E. If 
the circuitry is placed close to the PIIX4E, then  ensure that an extra 1uF capacitor is 
placed on the V
REF
 pin of the 82443GX.
Use a Schottky diode in the V
REF
 circuit for a minimum voltage drop from VCC
3.3 
to V
REF
 
because there is an internal diode in parallel to the Schottky diode that does not have high 
current capability. The Schottky diode will begin to conduct first, therefore carrying the high 
current.
V
REF
 can be tied to Vcc in a non-5V tolerant system.
Tie Vss and Vss(USB) to ground.

PCI Bus Signals
A specific board sensitivity has been identified that may result in a low going glitch on a deasserted 
PCIRST# signal when it is lightly loaded. This glitch may occur as a result of VCC droop caused 
by simultaneous switching of most/all AD[31:0] signals from 0 to 1. This glitch can in some 
designs be low enough (below 1.7V) to interfere with proper operation of the Host PCI Bridge 
Controller component.
This sensitivity manifests itself on designs where PCIRST# is lightly loaded with less than 
approximately 50pF, or is not driving the entire PCI bus. Design features that could aggravate the 
problem are; an in-line active component on the PCIRST# signal, such as an AND gate or, lack of a 
series termination resistor on the PCIRST# signal at the PIIX4 or PIIX4E.
There are several improvements that can be implemented individually or in any combination. First, 
a series termination resistor between 22 and 33 ohms placed close to the PIIX4/PIIX4E will help 
reduce the glitch. Second, an external capacitor of approximately 47pF will help reduce the glitch.
