Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Datasheet

2.2

Power and Ground Lands

For clean on-chip processor core power distribution, the processor has 223 V

CC

(power)

and 267 V

SS

(ground) inputs. All V

CC

lands must be connected to the processor power

plane, while all V

SS

lands must be connected to the system ground plane. The

processor V

CC

lands must be supplied with the voltage determined by the processor

V

oltage

ID

entification (VID) signals. See

Table 2-3

for VID definitions.

Twenty two lands are specified as V

TT

, which provide termination for the FSB and

provides power to the I/O buffers. The platform must implement a separate supply for

these lands which meets the V

TT

specifications outlined in

Table 2-12

.

2.3

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 current 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

Table 2-12

. Failure to do so can result in timing violations or

reduced lifetime of the component. For further information and guidelines, refer to the

appropriate platform design guidelines.

2.3.1

V

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 current swings. The

power delivery solution must insure the voltage and current specifications are met (as

defined in

Table 2-12

). For further information regarding power delivery, decoupling

and layout guidelines, refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines

.

2.3.2

V

TT

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. For further information regarding power delivery,

decoupling and layout guidelines, refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines.
