Electrical Specifications
2.4.1 Phase Lock Loop (PLL) Power and Filter
V_CCA and V_CCIOPLL are power sources required by the PLL clock generators on the Celeron D
processor silicon. Since these PLLs are analog, they require low noise power supplies for minimum
jitter. Jitter is detrimental to the system: it degrades external I/O timings as well as internal core
timings (i.e., maximum frequency). To prevent this degradation, these supplies must be low pass
filtered from V_CC.
The AC low-pass requirements, with input at V_CC are as follows:
• < 0.2 dB gain in pass band
• < 0.5 dB attenuation in pass band < 1 Hz
• > 34 dB attenuation from 1 MHz to 66 MHz
• > 28 dB attenuation from 66 MHz to core frequency
The filter requirements are illustrated in Figure 2-1.
