information about the timing and clocking requirements of the chipset component, please contact your
chipset vendor for the appropriate documentation.
4.2
Single Ended Host Bus Clocking Routing
Intel

Pentium
®
III Processor with 512KB L2 Cache dual-processor platforms have support for using
single-ended host bus clock drivers. When using this clocking method, the BCLK signal (pin W37) is
used as the single-ended clock input to the processor. The BCLK#/CLKREF signal (pin Y33) is used as a
reference voltage and must be connected to the appropriate filter circuit described in
Section 4.2.1
.
Figure 4-2
shows the topology that should be used for the processor clock traces. Please note that L0,
L1, and L2 refer to trace lengths between the illustrated components.
Table 4-1
contains the
recommended lengths and component values for this topology.
