Differential Signaling
The links for Intel
®
QuickPath Interconnect (Intel
®
QPI) and Intel
®
Scalable Memory
Interconnect (Intel
®
SMI) signals use differential signaling. The Intel
®
SMI bus pins are
referred to as FB-DIMM pins on the package. The termination voltage level for the
processor for uni-directional serial differential links, each link consisting of a pair of
opposite-polarity (D+, D-) signals, is V
SS
.
Termination resistors are provided on the processor silicon and are terminated to V
SS,
thus eliminating the need to terminate the links on the system board for the Intel
®
QuickPath Interconnect and FB-DIMM signals.
When designing a system, Intel strongly recommends that design teams perform
analog simulations of the Intel
®
QuickPath Interconnect and FB-DIMM pins. Please
refer to the latest available revision of the

illustrates the active on-die termination (ODT) of these differential signals.
All the differential signals listed in
have ODT resistors. Also included in the
table are the debug signals.
