2.0 Uni-processor System Bus Routing Guidelines

This section covers the system bus source synchronous (data, address, and associated strobes) and

common clock signal routing for Intel®Xeon™ processor with 512 KB L2 cache (400/533 MHz

FSB)/Low Voltage Intel®Xeon™ processor (400 MHz FSB) and Intel®E7500/E7501 chipset-

based systems, in a uni-processor (UP) configuration. Table 2 lists the signals and their

corresponding signal types.

Figure 1 describes the uni-processor system bus topology.

NOTES:

1. These signals do not have on-die termination on the processor. They must be terminated properly on the

system board. If the signal is not connected, it must be pulled to the appropriate voltage level through a 1

kΩ ± 5% resistor.

2. Xeon processors use only BR0# and BR1#.

3. These signals are ‘wired-OR’ signals and may be driven simultaneously by multiple agents. For further

details on how to implement wired-OR signals, refer to the routing guidelines in Section 2.2.1.

4. The value of these pins driving the active edge of RESET# determine processor configuration options.

5. SM_VCC has critical power sequencing requirements.

6. Terminations and routing for TAP signals and all debug port signals are found in the ITP700 Debug Port

Design Guide.

7. PROCHOT# is input/output on Low Voltage Intel® Xeon™ processor D-stepping and beyond.

10 Platform Design Guide Addendum

Refer to Table 3 for a summary of the uni-processor system bus routing recommendations. Use this

as a quick reference only. The following sections provide more information for each parameter.

Intel strongly recommends simulation of all signals to ensure that setup and hold times are met.

Table 3. Uni-processor System Bus Routing Summary

Parameter Platform Routing Guidelines

Trace width/spacing 5/15 mils

4X signal group line lengths 3.5“– 10“pin-to-pin

Length must be added to the system board trace between agents to

compensate for the stub created by the processor package

DSTBn/p[3:0]# line lengths DSTB# signals should follow the same routing rules as the data signals

A 25 mil spacing should be maintained around each strobe signal (between

DSTBp# and DSTBn#, and any other signal.)

2X signal group line lengths Address signals should follow the same routing rules as the data signals.

ADSTB[1:0]# line lengths ADSTB# signals should follow the same routing rules as the DSTB# signals.

Common clock signal line

lengths Common clock signals should follow the same routing rules as the data

signals, however no length compensation is necessary.

Topology The processor must have on-die termination enabled.

Routing priorities All signals within the same strobe group must be routed on same layer for the

entire length of the bus.

Reference plane requirements

Ground reference only.

Avoid changing layers when routing system bus signals.

If a layer change must occur,use vias connecting the two reference planes to

provide a low impedance path for the return current. Vias should be as close

as possible to the signal via.

System board Impedance 50 Ω ± 10%
