1. SYSCLK differential receiver requires high-speed transceiver logic (HSTL) differential signaling level. See the Joint Electron Device
Engineering Council (JEDEC) HSTL standard.
2. See the electrical interface section of the PowerPC 970FX RISC Microprocessor Users Manual. The minimum input must meet the
signal eye opening requirements of the link.
3. The Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) signals TDI, TMS, and TRST do not have internal pullups; therefore, pullups must be added to
the system board. Pullups should be added and adjusted according to the system implementation. These input and outputs meet
the dc specification in the JEDEC standard JESD8-11 for 1.5 V normal power supply range.
4. A 100
Ω split terminator is the test load. Note that a 40 Ω signal driver has an up level of 0.78 × OVDD for VOH and 0.22 × OVDD at
VOL.
5. There are two open drain signals on this type of signal driver: CHKSTOP and I2CGO. The pullup for these nets depend on the Trise
time requirement, net load, and topology. The following examples are two bounding suggestions based on a point-to-point 50
Ω net
with two lengths (5 cm and 61 cm). A 33
Ω series source terminator was added in both runs. A net of 61 cm is recommended.
Examples:
500
Ω pullup dc low level 0.18 V at the receiver
Trise 0.2 V - 0.8 V = 55 ns at 61 cm
Trise 0.2 V - 0.8 V = 10 ns at 5 cm
1 k
Ω pullup dc low level 0.13 V at the receiver
Trise 0.2 V - 0.8 V = 115 ns at 61 cm
Trise 0.2 V - 0.8 V = 20 ns at 5 cm
6. Capacitance values are guaranteed by design and characterization, and are not tested.
