Page 19 highlights

Electrical Specifications 2.4.2 2.5 PLL Power Supply An on-die PLL filter solution is implemented on the processor. The VCCPLL input is used to provide power to the on chip PLL of the processor. Please refer to Table 2-12 for DC specifications. Refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines for decoupling and routing guidelines. Voltage Identification (VID) The Voltage Identification (VID) specification for the processor is defined by the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.0 Design Guidelines. The voltage set by the VID signals is the reference VR output voltage to be delivered to the processor Vcc pins. Please refer to Table 2-16 for the DC specifications for these signals. A voltage range is provided in Table 2-12 and changes with frequency. The specifications have been set such that one voltage regulator can operate with all supported frequencies. Individual processor VID values may be calibrated during manufacturing such that two devices at the same core frequency may have different default VID settings. This is reflected by the VID range values provided in Table 2-3. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series uses six voltage identification signals, VID[6:1], to support automatic selection of power supply voltages. Table 2-3 specifies the voltage level corresponding to the state of VID[6:1]. A '1' in this table refers to a high voltage level and a '0' refers to a low voltage level. The definition provided in Table 2-3 is not related in any way to previous Intel® Xeon® processors or voltage regulator designs. If the processor socket is empty (VID[6:1] = 111111), or the voltage regulation circuit cannot supply the voltage that is requested, the voltage regulator must disable itself. See the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.0 Design Guidelines for further details. Although the Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.0 Design Guidelines defines VID [7:0], VID 7 and VID 0 are not used on the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series. Please refer to the appropriate platform design guide for details. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series provide the ability to operate while transitioning to an adjacent VID and its associated processor core voltage (VCC). This will represent a DC shift in the load line. It should be noted that a low-to-high or high-to-low voltage state change may result in as many VID transitions as necessary to reach the target core voltage. Transitions above the specified VID are not permitted. Table 2-12 includes VID step sizes and DC shift ranges. Minimum and maximum voltages must be maintained as shown in Table 2-13. The VRM or EVRD utilized must be capable of regulating its output to the value defined by the new VID. DC specifications for dynamic VID transitions are included in Table 2-12. Power source characteristics must be guaranteed to be stable whenever the supply to the voltage regulator is stable. Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series Datasheet 19

Electrical Specifications
2.4.2
PLL Power Supply
An on-die PLL filter solution is implemented on the processor. The
V
CCPLL
input is used
to provide power to the on chip PLL of the processor. Please refer to
Table 2-12
for DC
specifications. Refer to the appropriate platform design guidelines for decoupling and
routing guidelines.
2.5
Voltage Identification (VID)
The Voltage Identification (VID) specification for the processor is defined by the
Voltage
Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.0 Design
Guidelines
. The voltage set by the VID signals is the reference VR output voltage to be
delivered to the processor Vcc pins. Please refer to
Table 2-16
for the DC specifications
for these signals. A voltage range is provided in
Table 2-12
and changes with
frequency. The specifications have been set such that one voltage regulator can
operate with all supported frequencies.
Individual processor VID values may be calibrated during manufacturing such that two
devices at the same core frequency may have different default VID settings. This is
reflected by the VID range values provided in
Table 2-3
.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series uses six voltage identification
signals, VID[6:1], to support automatic selection of power supply voltages.
Table 2-3
specifies the voltage level corresponding to the state of VID[6:1]. A ‘1’ in this table
refers to a high voltage level and a ‘0’ refers to a low voltage level. The definition
provided in
Table 2-3
is not related in any way to previous Intel® Xeon® processors or
voltage regulator designs. If the processor socket is empty (VID[6:1] = 111111), or
the voltage regulation circuit cannot supply the voltage that is requested, the voltage
regulator must disable itself. See the
Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise
Voltage Regulator-Down (EVRD) 11.0 Design Guidelines
for further details.
Although the
Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) and Enterprise Voltage Regulator-Down
(EVRD) 11.0 Design Guidelines
defines VID [7:0], VID 7 and VID 0 are not used on the
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series. Please refer to the appropriate
platform design guide
for details.
The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5300 Series provide the ability to operate
while transitioning to an adjacent VID and its associated processor core voltage (V
CC
).
This will represent a DC shift in the load line. It should be noted that a low-to-high or
high-to-low voltage state change may result in as many VID transitions as necessary to
reach the target core voltage. Transitions above the specified VID are not permitted.
Table 2-12
includes VID step sizes and DC shift ranges. Minimum and maximum
voltages must be maintained as shown in
Table 2-13
.
The VRM or EVRD utilized must be capable of regulating its output to the value defined
by the new VID. DC specifications for dynamic VID transitions are included in
Table 2-12
.
Power source characteristics must be guaranteed to be stable whenever the supply to
the voltage regulator is stable.
