Design Checklist
be stubbed off the trace run and must be as close as possible to the PIIX4/PIIX4E. The 
capacitor must be no further than 0.5 inch from the PIIX4/PIIX4E. If a stub is required, it 
should be kept to a few mm maximum length. The ground connection should be made 
through a via to the ground plane, with no or minimal trace between the capacitor pad and 
the via.
— Place the battery, 1K Ohm series current limit resistor, and the common-cathode isolation 
diode very close to the PIIX4/PIIX4E. If this is not possible, place the common-cathode 
diode and the 1K Ohm resistor as close to the 1uF capacitor as possible. Do not place 
these components between the capacitor and the PIIX4. The battery can be placed 
remotely from the PIIX4/PIIX4E.
— On boards that have chassis-intrusion utilizing external logic powered by the VCCRTC 
pin, place the inverters as close to the common-cathode diode as possible. If this is not 
possible, keep the trace run near the center of the board.
— Keep the PIIX4/PIIX4E VCCRTC trace away from the board edge. If this trace must run 
from opposite ends of the board, keep the trace run towards the board center, away from 
the board edge where contact could be made by people and equipment that handle the 
board.
Recommendations for Existing Board Designs to minimize ESD events that may cause loss of 
CMOS contents:
— The effectiveness of adding a 1uF capacitor, as identified above, needs to be determined 
by examining the routing and placement. For example, placing the capacitor far from the 
PIIX4 reduces its effectiveness.

82093AA (IOAPIC)
An I/O APIC is required for a DP system and is optional for a UP system.
The I/O APIC is a 5V device. All Vcc pins must be connected to 5V. Pins 19, 51 and 64 are 5V 
power, and pins 1, 33 and 52 are ground pins. 
APICCLK may be at 2.5V, 3.3V or 5V levels. If it is shared with the Slot 1 PICCLK then it 
must be 2.5V. The maximum frequency is 16.666 MHz while the minimum is 14.3 MHz.
APICACK2# (pin 8) - This pin is connected to the Intel
®
 440GX AGPset WSC# signal.
CLK is compatible with 2.5V, 3.3V or 5V input levels. It is typically connected to the APIC 
clocks that are 2.5V. The maximum frequency is 33 MHz while the minimum is 25 MHz.
SMI support - The option to route SMI through the IOAPIC in a Dual-Processor system is not 
recommended due to timing constraints between the PIIX4E and the Slot 1 processors.
RTC Alarm Interrupt - When an IOAPIC is enabled, the IRQ8# output signal on the PIIX4E 
reflects the state of IRQ8. IRQ8# resides in the PIIX4E suspend well and connects to INTIN8 
on the IOAPIC. If the system is put in a STD or SOFF state, the PIIX4E will continue to drive 
IRQ8 to the IOAPIC which could damage the IOAPIC if it is not powered. For this reason a 
74LVC125 buffer is included in the schematics to isolate the IOAPIC's INTIN8 signal from the 
PIIX4E's IRQ8# signal when the system is suspended. 
System Timer Interrupt - When an IOAPIC is enabled, the PIIX4E IRQ0 output signal reflects 
the state of the system timer interrupt. This signal should be connected to INTIN2 on the 
IOAPIC, with no pull-up. 
SCI and SMB Interrupts - The IRQ9OUT# output signal on the PIIX4E reflects the state of the 
internally generated IRQ9 interrupt. The SCI and SMB interrupts are hardwired to IRQ9 in the
