NOTES:

1. All times in nanoseconds.
2. Numbers in table are for reference only. These timing parameters are subject to change. Check the

appropriate component datasheet for the valid timing parameter values.

3. T

SU_MIN

= 2.65 ns assumes that the GMCH sees a minimum edge rate equal to 0.3 V/ns.

Table 7 contains an example AGTL+ initial maximum flight time, and Table 8 contains an
example minimum flight time calculation for a 133 MHz, uniprocessor system using the Pentium
III processor and the Intel 815 chipset platform’s system bus. Note that assumed values were used
for the clock skew and clock jitter.

Note: The clock skew and clock jitter values depend on the clock components and the distribution

method chosen for a particular design and must be budgeted into the initial timing equations, as
appropriate for each design.

Table 7and Table 8 were derived assuming the following:

CLK

SKEW

= 0.20 ns (Note: This assumes that the clock driver pin-to-pin skew is reduced to

50 ps by tying the two host clock outputs together (i.e., “ganging”) at the clock driver output
pins, and that the PCB clock routing skew is 150 ps. The system timing budget must assume
0.175 ns of clock driver skew if outputs are not tied together as well as the use of a clock
driver that meets the Intel CK-815 Clock Synthesizer/Driver Specification.)

CLK

JITTER

= 0.250 ns

See the respective processor’s datasheet, the appropriate Intel 815 chipset platform documentation,
and the Intel

®

CK-815 Clock Synthesizer/Driver Specification for details on clock skew and jitter

specifications. Exact details regarding the host clock routing topology are provided with the
platform design guideline.
