Decoupling Guidelines
Due to its large number of transistors and high internal clock speeds, the processor is
capable of generating large average current swings between low and full power states.
This may cause voltages on power planes to sag below their minimum values if bulk
decoupling is not adequate. Larger bulk storage (C
BULK
), such as electrolytic capacitors,
supply voltage during longer lasting changes in current demand by the component,
such as coming out of an idle condition. Similarly, they act as a storage well for current
when entering an idle condition from a running condition. Care must be taken in the
baseboard design to ensure that the voltage provided to the processor remains within
the specifications listed in
. Failure to do so can result in timing violations or
reduced lifetime of the component.

CC
Decoupling
Vcc regulator solutions need to provide bulk capacitance with a low Effective Series
Resistance (ESR), and the baseboard designer must assure a low interconnect
resistance from the regulator (EVRD or VRM pins) to the LGA771 socket. Bulk
decoupling must be provided on the baseboard to handle large voltage swings. The
power delivery solution must insure the voltage and current specifications are met (as
defined in
).

Decoupling
Bulk decoupling must be provided on the baseboard. Decoupling solutions must be
sized to meet the expected load. To insure optimal performance, various factors
associated with the power delivery solution must be considered including regulator
type, power plane and trace sizing, and component placement. A conservative
decoupling solution consists of a combination of low ESR bulk capacitors and high
frequency ceramic capacitors.
2.3.3
Front Side Bus AGTL+ Decoupling
The processor integrates signal termination on the die, as well as a portion of the
required high frequency decoupling capacitance on the processor package. However,
additional high frequency capacitance must be added to the baseboard to properly
decouple the return currents from the FSB. Bulk decoupling must also be provided by
the baseboard for proper AGTL+ bus operation.
