Description
Notes
BCLK_DN
BCLK_DP
I
Differential bus clock input to the processor.
BCLK_ITP_DN
BCLK_ITP_DP
O
Buffered differential bus clock pair to ITP.
BPM#[7:0]
I/O
BPM#[7:0] are breakpoint and performance monitor signals. They are outputs
from the processor which indicate the status of breakpoints and programmable
counters used for monitoring processor performance. BPM#[7:0] should be
connected in a wired OR topology between all packages on a platform. The end
points for the wired OR connections must be terminated.
CAT_ERR#
I/O
Indicates that the system has experienced a catastrophic error and cannot
continue to operate. The processor will set this for non-recoverable machine
check errors and other internal unrecoverable error. Since this is an I/O pin,
external agents are allowed to assert this pin which will cause the processor to
take a machine check exception.
COMP0
I
Impedance compensation must be terminated on the system board using a
precision resistor.
QPI_CLKRX_DN
QPI_CLKRX_DP
I
I
Intel QPI received clock is the input clock that corresponds to the received data.
QPI_CLKTX_DN
QPI_CLKTX_DP
O
O
Intel QPI forwarded clock sent with the outbound data.
QPI_CMP[0]
I
Must be terminated on the system board using a precision resistor.
QPI_DRX_DN[19:0]
QPI_DRX_DP[19:0]
I
I
QPI_DRX_DN[19:0] and QPI_DRX_DP[19:0] comprise the differential receive
data for the QPI port. The inbound 20 lanes are connected to another
component’s outbound direction.
QPI_DTX_DN[19:0]
QPI_DTX_DP[19:0]
O
O
QPI_DTX_DN[19:0] and QPIQPI_DTX_DP[19:0] comprise the differential
transmit data for the QPI port. The outbound 20 lanes are connected to another
component’s inbound direction.
DBR#
I
DBR# is used only in systems where no debug port is implemented on the
system board. DBR# is used by a debug port interposer so that an in-target
probe can drive system reset. If a debug port is implemented in the system,
DBR# is a no connect in the system. DBR# is not a processor signal.
DDR_COMP[2:0]
I
Must be terminated on the system board using precision resistors.
DDR_VREF
I
Voltage reference for DDR3
DDR{0/1/2}_BA[2:0]
O
Defines the bank which is the destination for the current Activate, Read, Write,
or Precharge command.
1
DDR{0/1/2}_CAS#
O
Column Address Strobe.
DDR{0/1/2}_CKE[3:0]
O
Clock Enable.
DDR{0/1/2}_CLK_N[2:0]
DDR{0/1/2}_CLK_P[2:0]
O
Differential clocks to the DIMM. All command and control signals are valid on the
rising edge of clock.
DDR{0/1/2}_CS[1:0]#
DDR{0/1/2}_CS[5:4]#
O
Each signal selects one rank as the target of the command and address.
DDR{0/1/2}_DQ[63:0]
I/O
DDR3 Data bits.
DDR{0/1/2}_DQS_N[7:0]
DDR{0/1/2}_DQS_P[7:0]
I/O
Differential pair, Data Strobe x8. Differential strobes latch data for each DRAM.
Different numbers of strobes are used depending on whether the connected
DRAMs are x4 or x8. Driven with edges in center of data, receive edges are
aligned with data edges.
