Term/Acronym Definition 
System Bus 
The System Bus is the microprocessor bus of the processor. 
Setup Window 
The time between the beginning of Setup to Clock (TSU_MIN) and the 
arrival of a valid clock edge. This window may be different for each type of 
bus agent in the system. 
Simultaneous 
Switching Output 
Simultaneous Switching Output (SSO) effects are differences in electrical 
timing parameters and degradation in signal quality caused by multiple 
signal outputs simultaneously switching voltage levels in the opposite 
direction from a single signal or in the same direction. These are called 
odd mode and even mode switching, respectively. This simultaneous 
switching of multiple outputs creates higher current swings that may 
cause additional propagation delay (“push-out”) or a decrease in 
propagation delay (“pull-in”). These SSO effects may impact the setup 
and/or hold times and are not always taken into account by simulations. 
System timing budgets should include margin for SSO effects. 
Stub 
The branch from the bus trunk terminating at the pad of an agent. 
Trunk 
The main connection, excluding interconnect branches, from one end. 
System 
Management Bus 
A two-wire interface through which various system components may 
communicate. 
Undershoot 
The minimum voltage extending below VSS observed for a signal at the 
device pad. 
VCC (CPU core) 
VCC (CPU core) is the core power for the processor. The system bus is 
terminated to VCC (CPU core). 
Victim 
A network that receives a coupled crosstalk signal from another network is 
called the victim network.
