2 Interfaces
The PCI Express architecture is specified in three layers — Transaction Layer, Data Link
Layer, and Physical Layer. The partitioning in the component is not necessarily along
these same boundaries. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the PCI Express Layering Diagram.
16 Datasheet, Volume 1
Interfaces
Datasheet, Volume 1 17
Interfaces
The transmission side of the Data Link Layer accepts TLPs assembled by the
Transaction Layer, calculates and applies data protection code and TLP sequence
number, and submits them to Physical Layer for transmission across the Link. The
receiving Data Link Layer is responsible for checking the integrity of received TLPs and
for submitting them to the Transaction Layer for further processing. On detection of TLP
error(s), this layer is responsible for requesting retransmission of TLPs until information
is correctly received, or the Link is determined to have failed. The Data Link Layer also
generates and consumes packets which are used for Link management functions.
The PCI Express Host Bridge is required to translate the memory-mapped PCI Express
configuration space accesses from the host processor to PCI Express configuration
cycles. To maintain compatibility with PCI configuration addressing mechanisms, it is
recommended that system software access the enhanced configuration space using
32-bit operations (32-bit aligned) only.
See the PCI Express* Base Specification for details of both the PCI-compatible and PCI
Express Enhanced configuration mechanisms and transaction rules.
18 Datasheet, Volume 1
Interfaces
Downstream transactions that had been successfully transmitted across the link prior
to the link going down may be processed as normal. No completions from downstream,
non-posted transactions are returned upstream over the DMI2 link after a link down
event.
The interface design was optimized for interfacing to Intel processor and chipset
components in both single processor and multiple processor environments. The single
wire interface provides low board routing overhead for the multiple load connections in
the congested routing area near the processor and chipset components. Bus speed,
error checking, and low protocol overhead provides adequate link bandwidth and
reliability to transfer critical device operating conditions and configuration information.
Refer to the processor Thermal Mechanical Specification and Design Guide (see
Section 1.7, “Related Documents”) for additional details regarding PECI and for a list of
supported PECI commands.

The architecture consists of six instructions that offer full hardware support for AES.
Four instructions support the AES encryption and decryption, and the other two
instructions support the AES key expansion. Together, they offer a significant increase
in performance compared to pure software implementations.
The AES instructions have the flexibility to support all three standard AES key lengths,
all standard modes of operation, and even some nonstandard or future variants.
Datasheet, Volume 1 23
Technologies
To determine the highest performance frequency amongst active cores, the processor
takes the following into consideration:
• The number of cores operating in the C0 state.
• The estimated current consumption.
• The estimated power consumption.
• The temperature.
Any of these factors can affect the maximum frequency for a given workload. If the
power, current, or thermal limit is reached, the processor will automatically reduce the
frequency to stay with its TDP limit.
Note: Intel Turbo Boost Technology is only active if the operating system is requesting the P0
state. For more information on P-states and C-states, refer to Chapter 4, "Power
Management".
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology builds upon that architecture using design
strategies that include the following:
• Separation between Voltage and Frequency Changes. By stepping voltage up
and down in small increments separately from frequency changes, the processor
can reduce periods of system unavailability (which occur during frequency change).
Thus, the system can transition between voltage and frequency states more often,
providing improved power/performance balance.
• Clock Partitioning and Recovery. The bus clock continues running during state
transition, even when the core clock and Phase-Locked Loop are stopped, which
allows logic to remain active. The core clock can also restart more quickly under
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology.
For additional information on Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, see Section 4.2.1.

Notes:
1. Package C7 is not supported.
2. All package states are defined to be "E" states – such that they always exit back into the LFM point upon
execution resume.
3. The mapping of actions for PC3, and PC6 are suggestions – microcode will dynamically determine which
actions should be taken based on the desired exit latency parameters.
4. CC3/CC6 will all use a voltage below the VccMin operational point. The exact voltage selected will be a
function of the snoop and interrupt response time requirements made by the devices (PCIe* and DMI) and
the operating system.

While individual threads can request low power C-states, power saving actions only
take place once the core C-state is resolved. Core C-states are automatically resolved
by the processor. For thread and core C-states, a transition to and from C0 is required
before entering any other C-state.
30 Datasheet, Volume 1
Power Management
The primary software interfaces for requesting low power idle states are through the
MWAIT instruction with sub-state hints and the HLT instruction (for C1 and C1E).
However, software may make C-state requests using the legacy method of I/O reads
from the ACPI-defined processor clock control registers, referred to as P_LVLx. This
method of requesting C-states provides legacy support for operating systems that
initiate C-state transitions using I/O reads.
For legacy operating systems, P_LVLx I/O reads are converted within the processor to
the equivalent MWAIT C-state request. Therefore, P_LVLx reads do not directly result in
I/O reads to the system. The feature, known as I/O MWAIT redirection, must be
enabled in the BIOS.
Note: The P_LVLx I/O Monitor address needs to be set up before using the P_LVLx I/O read
interface. Each P-LVLx is mapped to the supported MWAIT(Cx) instruction as shown in
Table 4-7.
Table 4-7. P_LVLx to MWAIT Conversion
P_LVLx MWAIT(Cx) Notes
P_LVL2 MWAIT(C3)
The BIOS can write to the C-state range field of the PMG_IO_CAPTURE MSR to restrict
the range of I/O addresses that are trapped and emulate MWAIT like functionality. Any
P_LVLx reads outside of this range do not cause an I/O redirection to MWAIT(Cx) like
request. They fall through like a normal I/O instruction.
Note: When P_LVLx I/O instructions are used, MWAIT substates cannot be defined. The
MWAIT substate is always zero if I/O MWAIT redirection is used. By default, P_LVLx I/O
redirections enable the MWAIT 'break on EFLAGS.IF’ feature that triggers a wakeup on
an interrupt, even if interrupts are masked by EFLAGS.IF.

Power Management
While a core is in C1/C1E state, it processes bus snoops and snoops from other
threads. For more information on C1E, see Section 4.2.5.2, “Package C1/C1E”.
32 Datasheet, Volume 1
Power Management
The processor exits a package C-state when a break event is detected. Depending on
the type of break event, the processor does the following:
• If a core break event is received, the target core is activated and the break event
message is forwarded to the target core.
— If the break event is not masked, the target core enters the core C0 state and
the processor enters package C0.
— If the break event is masked, the processor attempts to re-enter its previous
package state.
• If the break event was due to a memory access or snoop request.
— But the platform did not request to keep the processor in a higher package C-
state, the package returns to its previous C-state.
— And the platform requests a higher power C-state, the memory access or snoop
request is serviced and the package remains in the higher power C-state.
The package C-states fall into two categories – uncoordinated and coordinated. C0/C1/
C1E are uncoordinated, while C2/C3/C6 are coordinated.
Starting with the 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Family Desktop, package C-
states are based on exit latency requirements which are accumulated from the PCIe*
devices, PCH, and software sources. The level of power savings that can be achieved is
a function of the exit latency requirement from the platform. As a result, there is no
fixed relationship between the coordinated C-state of a package, and the power savings
that will be obtained from the state. Coordinated package C-states offer a range of
power savings which is a function of the ensured exit latency requirement from the
platform.
There is also a concept of Execution Allowed (EA) – when EA status is 0, the cores in a
socket are in C3 or a deeper state, a socket initiates a request to enter a coordinated
package C-state. The coordination is across all sockets and the PCH.

Notes:
1. If enabled, the package C-state will be C1E if all actives cores have resolved a core C1 state or higher.
4.2.5.1 Package C0
The normal operating state for the processor. The processor remains in the normal
state when at least one of its cores is in the C0 or C1 state or when the platform has
not granted permission to the processor to go into a low power state. Individual cores
may be in lower power idle states while the package is in C0.
34 Datasheet, Volume 1
Power Management
If the exit latency requirements are high enough, the package will transition to C3 or
C6 depending on the state of the cores.
In package C6 state, all cores have saved their architectural state and have had their
core voltages reduced to zero volts. The LLC retains context, but no accesses can be
made to the LLC in this state, the cores must break out to the internal state package C2
for snoops to occur.

Breakpoint and Performance Monitor Signals: I/O signals from the processor
BPM_N[7:0] that indicate the status of breakpoints and programmable counters used for
monitoring processor performance. These are 100 MHz signals.

Input which allows the platform to enable or disable built-in self test (BIST) on the
BIST_ENABLE processor. This signal is pulled up on the die; refer to Table 7-6 for details.
Indicates that the system has experienced a fatal or catastrophic error and cannot
continue to operate. The processor will assert CAT_ERR_N for nonrecoverable machine
check errors and other internal unrecoverable errors. It is expected that every
processor in the system will wire-OR CAT_ERR_N for all processors. Since this is an I/O
land, external agents are allowed to assert this land, which will cause the processor to
CAT_ERR_N take a machine check exception. This signal is sampled after PWRGOOD assertion.
On the processor, CAT_ERR_N is used for signaling the following types of errors:
• Legacy MCERR’s, CAT_ERR_N is asserted for 16 BCLKs.
• Legacy IERR’s, CAT_ERR_N remains asserted until warm or cold reset.
CPU_ONLY_RESET Resets all the processors on the platform without resetting the DMI2 links.
Datasheet, Volume 1 45
Signal Descriptions
Asserting the RESET_N signal resets the processor to a known state and invalidates its
RESET_N internal caches without writing back any of their contents. Some PLL and error states
are not effected by reset and only PWRGOOD forces them to a known state.
Assertion of THERMTRIP_N (Thermal Trip) indicates one of two possible critical over-
temperature conditions: One, the processor junction temperature has reached a level
beyond which permanent silicon damage may occur and Two, the system memory
interface has exceeded a critical temperature limit set by BIOS.
Measurement of the processor junction temperature is accomplished through multiple
internal thermal sensors that are monitored by the Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS).
Simultaneously, the Power Control Unit (PCU) monitors external memory temperatures
using the dedicated SMBus interface to the DIMMs.
THERMTRIP_N If any of the DIMMs exceed the BIOS defined limits, the PCU will signal THERMTRIP_N
to prevent damage to the DIMMs. Once activated, the processor will stop all execution
and shut down all PLLs. To further protect the processor, its core voltage (VCC), VTTA,
VTTD, VSA, VCCPLL, VCCD supplies must be removed following the assertion of
THERMTRIP_N. Once activated, THERMTRIP_N remains latched until RESET_N is
asserted. While the assertion of the RESET_N signal may de-assert THERMTRIP_N, if
the processor's junction temperature remains at or above the trip level, THERMTRIP_N
will again be asserted after RESET_N is de-asserted.
This signal can also be asserted if the system memory interface has exceeded a critical
temperature limit set by BIOS. This signal is sampled after PWRGOOD assertion.
These configuration straps are used to inform the processor that a non-
standard value for BCLK is going to is been applied at reset. A "11" encoding
on these inputs will inform the processor to run at DEFAULT BCLK =
100 MHz. These signals have internal pull-up to VTT.
The encoding is as follows:
BCLK_SELECT1 BCLK_SELECT0 BCLK Selected
BCLK_SELECT[1:0]
X X 100 MHz (default)
1 1 100 MHz
1 0 125 MHz
0 1 Reserved
0 0 Reserved
CORE_VREF_CAP A capacitor must be connected from this land.

Variable power supply for the processor cores, lowest level caches (LLC), ring
interface, and home agent. It is provided by a VR12 compliant regulator. The
output voltage of this supply is selected by the processor using the serial
VCC voltage ID (SVID) bus.
Note: VCC has a Vboot setting of 0.0 V and is not included in the PWRGOOD
indication.
VCC_SENSE and VSS_VCC_SENSE provide an isolated, low impedance
VCC_SENSE connection to the processor core power and ground. These signals must be
VSS_VCC_SENSE connected to the voltage regulator feedback circuit, which insures the output
voltage (that is, processor voltage) remains within specification.
Note: The processor must be provided VCCD_01 and VCCD_23 for proper
operation, even in configurations where no memory is populated. A
VR12.0 controller is recommended, but not required.
VCCPLL Fixed power supply (1.8 V) for the processor phased lock loop (PLL).
Variable power supply for the processor system agent units. These include
logic (non-I/O) for the integrated I/O controller, the integrated memory
VSA controller (iMC), and the Power Control Unit (PCU). The output voltage of this
supply is selected by the processor, using the serial voltage ID (SVID) bus.
Note: VSA has a Vboot setting of 0.9 V.
VTTA Combined fixed analog and digital power supply for I/O sections of Direct
Media Interface Gen 2 (DMI2) interface and PCI Express* interface. Will also
VTTD be referred to as VTT.

Electrical Specifications
The PECI interface operates at a nominal voltage set by VTTD. The set of DC electrical
specifications shown in Table 7-13 is used with devices normally operating from a VTTD
interface supply.
The processor core frequency is configured during reset by using values stored within
the device during manufacturing. The stored value sets the lowest core multiplier at
which the particular processor can operate. If higher speeds are desired, the
appropriate ratio can be configured using the IA32_PERF_CTL MSR (MSR 199h); Bits
15:0.
Clock multiplying within the processor is provided by the internal phase locked loop
(PLL), which requires a constant frequency BCLK{0/1}_DP, BCLK{0/1}_DN input, with
exceptions for spread spectrum clocking. DC specifications for the BCLK{0/1}_DP,
BCLK{0/1}_DN inputs are provided in Table 7-14.

generation circuitry. An on-die PLL filter solution is implemented within the processor.
Each VCCD land is connected to a 1.50 V supply to provide power to the processor DDR3
VCCD_01 interface. These supplies also power the DDR3 memory subsystem. VCCD may be
VCCD_23 controlled by the SVID Bus using a VR12 controller and or a non-VR12 regulator may be
used. VCCD is the generic term for VCCD_01, VCCD_23.
Each VSA land must be supplied with the voltage determined by the SVID Bus signals,
VSA
typically set at 0.85 V. VSA has a VBOOT setting of 0.9 V.
VSS Ground
Individual processor VID values may be calibrated during manufacturing such that two
processor units with the same core frequency may have different default VID settings.
The processor uses voltage identification signals to support automatic selection of VCC,
VSA, and if desired the VCCD power supply voltages. If the processor socket is empty
(SKTOCC_N high), or a “not supported” response is received from the SVID bus, then
the voltage regulation circuit cannot supply the voltage that is requested, the voltage
regulator must disable itself or not power on. Vout MAX register (30h) is programmed
by the processor to set the maximum supported VID code and if the programmed VID
code is higher than the VID supported by the VR, then VR will respond with a “not
supported” acknowledgement.
Datasheet, Volume 1 51
Electrical Specifications
The processor provides the ability to operate while transitioning to a new VID and its
associated processor core voltage. This is represented by a DC shift in the loadline. 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 voltage. Transitions above the
maximum specified VID are not supported. The processor supports the following VR
commands:
• SetVID_fast (20 mV/μs for VCC, 10m V/μs for VCC/VSA/VCCD),
• SetVID_slow (5m V/μs for VCC, 2.5 mV/μs for VCC/VSA/VCCD), and
• Slew Rate Decay (downward voltage only and it’s a function of the output
capacitance’s time constant) commands. Table 7-3 and Table 7-17 includes SVID
step sizes and DC shift ranges. Minimum and maximum voltages must be
maintained as shown in Table 7-8.
The VR used must be capable of regulating its output to the value defined by the new
VID. Power source characteristics must be ensured to be stable whenever the supply to
the voltage regulator is stable.
The SetVID-fast command contains the target VID in the payload byte. The range of
voltage is defined in the VID table. The VR should ramp to the new VID setting with a
fast slew rate as defined in the slew rate data register; typically 10 to 20 mV/us
depending on platform, voltage rail, and the amount of decoupling capacitance.
The SetVID-fast command is preemptive, the VR interrupts its current processes and
moves to the new VID. The SetVID-fast command operates on 1 VR address at a time.
This command is used in the processor for package C6 fast exit and entry.
The SetVID-slow command contains the target VID in the payload byte. The range of
voltage is defined in the VID table. The VR should ramp to the new VID setting with a
“slow” slew rate as defined in the slow slew rate data register. The SetVID_Slow is 1/4
slower than the SetVID_fast slew rate.
The SetVID-slow command is preemptive, the VR interrupts its current processes and
moves to the new VID. This is the instruction used for normal P-state voltage change.
This command is used in the processor for the Intel Enhanced SpeedStep Technology
transitions.
The SetVID-Decay command is the slowest of the DVID transitions. It is only used for
VID down transitions. The VR does not control the slew rate, the output voltage
declines with the output load current only.
The SetVID-Decay command is preemptive; that is, the VR interrupts its current
processes and moves to the new VID.
The processor has three power state functions and these will be set seamlessly using
the SVID bus using the SetPS command. Based on the power state command, the
SetPS commands sends information to VR controller to configure the VR to improve
efficiency, especially at light loads. For example, typical power states are:
52 Datasheet, Volume 1
Electrical Specifications
The VR may change its configuration to meet the processor’s power needs with greater
efficiency. For example, it may reduce the number of active phases, transition from
CCM (Continuous Conduction Mode) to DCM (Discontinuous Conduction Mode) mode,
reduce the switching frequency or pulse skip, or change to asynchronous regulation.
For example, typical power states are 00h = run in normal mode; a command of
01h = shed phases mode, and an 02h = pulse skip.
The VR may reduce the number of active phases from PS(00h) to PS(01h) or PS(02h)
for example. There are multiple VR design schemes that can be used to maintain a
greater efficiency in these different power states, please work with your VR controller
suppliers for optimizations.
The SetPS command sends a byte that is encoded as to what power state the VR
should transition to.
If a power state is not supported by the controller, the slave should acknowledge with
command rejected (11b)
If the VR is in a low power state and receives a SetVID command moving the VID up,
then the VR exits the low power state to normal mode (PS0) to move the voltage up as
fast as possible. The processor must re-issue low power state (PS1, PS2, or PS3)
command if it is in a low current condition at the new higher voltage. See Figure 7-2 for
VR power state transitions.
The processor addresses 4 different voltage rail control segments within VR12 (VCC,
VCCD_01, VCCD_23, and VSA). The SVID data packet contains a 4-bit addressing
code.

DC specifications are defined at the processor pads, unless otherwise noted.
DC specifications are only valid while meeting the thermal specifications as specified in
the processor Thermal Mechanical Specification and Design Guide (see Section 1.7,
“Related Documents”), clock frequency, and input voltages. Care should be taken to
read all notes associated with each specification.

Notes:
1. Unless otherwise noted, all specifications in this table apply to all processors. These specifications are
based on pre-silicon characterization and will be updated as further data becomes available.
2. Individual processor VID values may be calibrated during manufacturing such that two devices at the same
speed may have different settings.
3. These voltages are targets only. A variable voltage source should exist on systems in the event that a
different voltage is required.
4. The VCC voltage specification requirements are measured across the remote sense pin pairs (VCC_SENSE
and VSS_VCC_SENSE) on the processor package. Voltage measurement should be taken with a DC to
100 MHz bandwidth oscilloscope limit (or DC to 20 MHz for older model oscilloscopes), using a 1.5 pF
maximum probe capacitance, and 1 M minimum impedance. The maximum length of the ground wire on
the probe should be less than 5 mm to ensure external noise from the system is not coupled in the scope
probe.
5. The VTTA, and VTTD voltage specification requirements are measured across the remote sense pin pairs
(VTTD_SENSE and VSS_VTTD_SENSE) on the processor package. Voltage measurement should be taken
with a DC to 100 MHz bandwidth oscilloscope limit (or DC to 20 MHz for older model oscilloscopes), using a
1.5 pF maximum probe capacitance, and 1 M minimum impedance. The maximum length of the ground
wire on the probe should be less than 5 mm to ensure external noise from the system is not coupled in the
scope probe.
6. The VSA voltage specification requirements are measured across the remote sense pin pairs (VSA_SENSE
and VSS_VSA_SENSE) on the processor package. Voltage measurement should be taken with a DC to
100 MHz bandwidth oscilloscope limit (or DC to 20 MHz for older model oscilloscopes), using a 1.5 pF
maximum probe capacitance, and 1 M minimum impedance. The maximum length of the ground wire on
the probe should be less than 5 mm to ensure external noise from the system is not coupled in the scope
probe.
7. The processor should not be subjected to any static VCC level that exceeds the VCC_MAX associated with any
particular current. Failure to adhere to this specification can shorten processor lifetime.
8. Minimum VCC and maximum ICC are specified at the maximum processor temperature. Refer to the
Thermal Mechanical Specification and Design Guide (see Section 1.7, “Related Documents”) for thermal
specifications. ICC_MAX is specified at the relative VCC_MAX point on the VCC load line. The processor is
capable of drawing ICC_MAX for up to 10 ms.

Electrical Specifications
9. The processor should not be subjected to any static VTTA, VTTD level that exceeds the VTT_MAX associated
with any particular current. Failure to adhere to this specification can shorten processor lifetime.
10. Baseboard bandwidth is limited to 20 MHz.
11. DC + AC + Ripple specification.
12. The loadlines specify voltage limits at the die measured at the VCC_SENSE and VSS_SENSE lands. Voltage
regulation feedback for voltage regulator circuits must also be taken from processor VCC_SENSE and
VSS_SENSE lands.
13. VSA_VID does not have a loadline, the output voltage is expected to be the VID value.
14. VCCD tolerance at processor pins. Tolerance for VR at remote sense is ±3.3%*VCCD.
15. The VCCPLL, VCCD01, VCCD23 voltage specification requirements are measured across vias on the platform.
Choose VCCPLL, VCCD01, or VCCD23 vias close to the socket and measure with a DC to 100 MHz bandwidth
oscilloscope limit (or DC to 20 MHz for older model oscilloscopes), using 1.5 pF maximum probe
capacitance, and 1 M minimum impedance. The maximum length of the ground wire on the probe should
be less than 5 mm to ensure external noise from the system is not coupled in the scope probe.
16. DC + AC + Ripple + Ground Noise specification.
17. VCC has a Vboot setting of 0.0 V and is not included in the PWRGOOD indication.
18. VSA has a Vboot setting of 0.9 V.
ICC_MAX
ICC_TDC
Notes:
1. Unless otherwise noted, all specifications in this table apply to all processors. These specifications are
based on pre-silicon characterization and will be updated as further data becomes available.
2. ICC_TDC (Thermal Design Current) is the sustained (DC equivalent) current that the processor is capable of
drawing indefinitely and should be used for the voltage regulator thermal assessment. The voltage
regulator is responsible for monitoring its temperature and asserting the necessary signal to inform the
processor of a thermal excursion.
3. Specification is at TCASE = 50 °C. Characterized by design (not tested).
4. ICCD_01_MAX and ICCD_23_MAX refers only to the processor’s current draw and does not account for the
current consumption by the memory devices.
5. Minimum VCC and maximum ICC are specified at the maximum processor temperature. Refer to the
processor Thermal Mechanical Specification and Design Guide (see Section 1.7, “Related Documents”) for
thermal specifications. ICC_MAX is specified at the relative VCC_MAX point on the VCC load line. The
processor is capable of drawing ICC_MAX for up to 10 ms.

6. This is the pull-down driver resistance. Reset drive does not have a termination.
7. RVTT_TERM is the termination on the DIMM and not controlled by the processor. Refer to the applicable DIMM
datasheet.
8. The minimum and maximum values for these signals are programmable by BIOS to one of the pairs.
9. COMP resistance must be provided on the system board with 1% resistors.
10. Input leakage current is specified for all DDR3 signals.
11. DRAM_PWR_OK_C{01/23} must have a maximum of 30 ns rise or fall time over VCCD * 0.55 + 300 mV
and -200 mV and the edge must be monotonic.
12. The DDR01/23_RCOMP error tolerance is ±5% from the compensated value.
13. DRAM_PWR_OK_C{01/23}: Data Scrambling should be enabled for production environments. Disabling
Data scrambling can be used for debug and testing purposes only. Running systems with Data Scrambling
off will make the configuration out of specification. For details, refer to Volume 2 of the Datasheet.
Notes:
1. VTTD supplies the PECI interface. PECI behavior does not affect VTTD min/max specification
2. It is expected that the PECI driver will take into account, the variance in the receiver input thresholds and
consequently, be able to drive its output within safe limits (-0.150 V to 0.275*VTTD for the low level and
0.725*VTTD to VTTD+0.150 V for the high level).
3. The leakage specification applies to powered devices on the PECI bus.
4. One node is counted for each client and one node for the system host. Extended trace lengths might appear
as additional nodes.
5. Excessive capacitive loading on the PECI line may slow down the signal rise/fall times and consequently
limit the maximum bit rate at which the interface can operate.
