VTT Processor Pin AG1

Processor pin AG1 requires additional attention since it is a ground pin on a Pentium III processor
(CPUID=068xh) / Celeron processor (CPUID=068xh) and a VTT pin on a future 0.13 micron
socket 370 processor. A separate switch controlled by the TUAL5 reference schematic signal
determines whether pin AG1 is pulled to ground or VTT. Refer to Figure 10 for an example
implementation.

The FET m ust have no m ore than

Identifying the Processor at the GMCH

The GMCH determines whether the socket contains a future 0.13 micron socket 370 processor or
Pentium III processor (CPUID=068xh) / Celeron processor (CPUID=068xh) based on the input to
pin SMAA12 on the GMCH. In a system using future 0.13 micron socket 370 processors,
SMAA12 will be pulled down during reset to indicate to the GMCH that a future 0.13 micron
socket 370 processor is in the socket. Refer to Figure 11. for an example implementation.
