23542A/0-September 2000 Preliminary Information AMD-K6™-2E+ Embedded Processor Data Sheet 15.5 Power and Grounding Power Connections The AMD-K6-2E+ processor is a dual voltage device. Two separate supply voltages are required: VCC2 and VCC3. s VCC2 provides the core voltage for the processor. s VCC3 provides the I/O voltage. See "Operating Ranges" on page 286 for the value and range of VCC2 and VCC3. The power and ground pins for each package are listed in Table 76 on page 325 and Table 78 on page 329. Table 74 on page 321 lists the pin differences between the two packages. The large number of power and ground pins are provided to ensure that the processor and package maintain a clean and stable power distribution network. For proper operation and functionality, all VCC2, VCC3, and VSS pins must be connected to the appropriate planes in the circuit board. The power planes have been arranged in a pattern to simplify routing and minimize crosstalk on the circuit board. The isolation region between two voltage planes must be at least 0.254mm if they are in the same layer of the circuit board. (See Figure 103 on page 292.) In order to maintain a low-impedance current sink and reference, the ground plane must never be split. Although the AMD-K6-2E+ processor has two separate supply voltages, there are no special power sequencing requirements. The best procedure is to minimize the time between which VCC2 and VCC3 are either both on or both off. Chapter 15 Electrical Data 291

Preliminary Information

Power and Grounding
Power Connections
The AMD-K6-2E+ processor is a dual voltage device. Two
separate supply voltages are required: V
CC2
and V
CC3
.
V
CC2
provides the core voltage for the processor.
V
CC3
provides the I/O voltage.
See “Operating Ranges” on page 286 for the value and range of
V
CC2
and V
CC3
.
The power and ground pins for each package are listed in
Table 76 on page 325 and Table 78 on page 329. Table 74 on
page 321 lists the pin differences between the two packages.
The large number of power and ground pins are provided to
ensure that the processor and package maintain a clean and
stable power distribution network.
For proper operation and functionality, all V
CC2
, V
CC3
, and V
SS
pins must be connected to the appropriate planes in the circuit
board. The power planes have been arranged in a pattern to
simplify routing and minimize crosstalk on the circuit board.
The isolation region between two voltage planes must be at
least 0.254mm if they are in the same layer of the circuit board.
(See Figure 103 on page 292.) In order to maintain a
low-impedance current sink and reference, the ground plane
must never be split.
Although the AMD-K6-2E+ processor has two separate supply
voltages, there are no special power sequencing requirements.
The best procedure is to minimize the time between which V
CC2
and V
CC3
are either both on or both off.
