Electrical Specifications
Reserved, Unused, and TESTHI Pins
All RESERVED pins must remain unconnected. Connection of these pins to V_CC, V_SS, or to any
other signal (including each other) can result in component malfunction or incompatibility with
future processors. See Chapter 4 for a pin listing of the processor and the location of all
RESERVED pins.
For reliable operation, always connect unused inputs or bidirectional signals to an appropriate
signal level. In a system-level design, on-die termination has been included on the Celeron D
processor to allow signals to be terminated within the processor silicon. Most unused GTL+ inputs
should be left as no connects, as GTL+ termination is provided on the processor silicon. However,
see Table 2-4 for details on GTL+ signals that do not include on-die termination. Unused active
high inputs should be connected through a resistor to ground (V_SS). Unused outputs can be left
unconnected; however, this may interfere with some test access port (TAP) functions, complicate
debug probing, and prevent boundary scan testing. A resistor must be used when tying
bidirectional signals to power or ground. When tying any signal to power or ground, a resistor will
also allow for system testability. For unused GTL+ input or I/O signals, use pull-up resistors of the
same value as the on-die termination resistors (R_TT). See Table 2-18.
TAP, Asynchronous GTL+ inputs, and Asynchronous GTL+ outputs do not include on-die
termination. Inputs and used outputs must be terminated on the system board. Unused outputs may
be terminated on the system board or left unconnected. Note that leaving unused outputs
unterminated may interfere with some TAP functions, complicate debug probing, and prevent
boundary scan testing.
The TESTHI pins must be tied to the processor V_CC using a matched resistor, where a matched
resistor has a resistance value within ±20% of the impedance of the board transmission line traces.
For example, if the trace impedance is 60 Ω, then a value between 48 Ω and 72 Ω is required.
The TESTHI pins may use individual pull-up resistors or be grouped together as detailed below. A
matched resistor must be used for each group:
• TESTHI[1:0]
• TESTHI[7:2]
• TESTHI8 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
• TESTHI9 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
• TESTHI10 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
• TESTHI11 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
• TESTHI12 – cannot be grouped with other TESTHI signals
