4.8.3.2 GMCH AGTL+ I/O Buffer Compensation
The HXRCOMP and HYRCOMP pins of the GMCH shall each be pulled-down to ground with a

± 1 percent resistor (see Figure 60 ). The maximum trace length from pin to resistor shall be
less than 0.5 inches and shall be 18 mil wide to achieve the Zo = 27.4

target. Also, the routing
for HRCOMP shall be at least 25 mils away from any switching signal.
4.8.3.3 GMCH AGTL+ Reference Voltage
The GMCH's AGTL+ I/O buffer resistive compensation mechanism also requires the generation of
reference voltages to the HXSWING and HYSWING pins with a value of 1/3*VCCP.
Implementations for HXSWING and HYSWING voltage generation are illustrated in
Figure 61 .

capacitors and connect HXSWING and HYSWING to VCC_CORE. HSWING components shall
