Setting the Appropriate Processor VTT Level

Because the Pentium III processor (CPUID=068xh) / Celeron processor (CPUID=068xh), and
future 0.13 micron socket 370 processors require different VTT levels, the platform must be able
to provide the appropriate voltage level after determining which processor is in the socket.
Referring to Figure 9, the TUAL5 reference schematic signal serves to control the FET, and by
doing so determines whether the voltage regulator supplies 1.25V or 1.5V to VTT for AGTL or
AGTL+, respectively.
