4.3 Recommended Connections
Power and ground connections must be made to
multiple V_CC and V_SS (GND) pins. Every 80960CF-
based circuit board should include power (V_CC) and
ground (V_SS) planes for power distribution. Every
V_CC pin must be connected to the power plane, and
every V_SS pin must be connected to the ground
plane. Pins identified as “NC” must not be
connected in the system.
Liberal decoupling capacitance should be placed
near the 80960CF. The processor can cause tran-
sient power surges when its numerous output buffers
transition, particularly when connected to large
capacitive loads.
Low inductance capacitors and interconnects are
recommended for best high frequency electrical
performance. Inductance can be reduced by short-
ening the board traces between the processor and
decoupling capacitors as much as possible. Capaci-
tors specifically designed for PGA packages will offer
the lowest possible inductance.
For reliable operation, always connect unused inputs
to an appropriate signal level. In particular, any
unused interrupt (XINT, NMI), DMA (DREQ), or
BTERM input should be connected to V_CC through a
pull-up resistor. Pull-up resistors should be in the in
the range of 20 KΩ for each pin tied high. If READY
or HOLD are not used, the unused input should be
connected to ground. N.C. pins must always
remain unconnected. For additional information
refer to the i960^® Cx Microprocessor User’s Manual
(270710).
