II Processor Signal Description
This section provides an alphabetical listing of all Pentium II processor signals. The tables at the
end of this section summarize the signals by direction: output, input, and I/O.

Description
100/66#
I/O
This bidirectional signal is used to select the system bus frequency. A logic low will select a
66 MHz system bus frequency and a logic high (3.3 V) will select a 100 MHz system bus
frequency. The frequency is determined by the processor(s), PCIset, and frequency
synthesizer. All system bus agents must operate at the same frequency; in a two-way MP
Pentium
II procesor configuration, this signal must connect the pins of both Pentium II
processors. This signal will be grounded by processors that are only capable of operating at
a host frequency of 66 MHz. On motherboards which support operation at either 66- or
100 MHz, this signal must be pulled up to 3.3 V with a 200
resistor (as shown in the figure
below) and provided as a frequency selection signal to the clock driver/synthesizer. If the
system motherboard is not capable of operating at 100 MHz (e.g., Intel
440FX and 440LX
PCIset-based systems), it should ground this signal and generate a 66 MHz system bus
frequency. This signal can also be incorporated into RESET# logic on the motherboard if
only 100 MHz operation is supported (thus forcing the RESET# signal to remain active as
long as the 100/66# signal is low).
100/66# Pin Example
A[35:3]#
I/O
The A[35:3]# (Address) signals define a 2
36
-byte physical memory address space. When
ADS# is active, these pins transmit the address of a transaction; when ADS# is inactive,
these pins transmit transaction type information. These signals must connect the appropriate
pins of all agents on the Pentium II processor system bus. The A[35:24]# signals are parity-
protected by the AP1# parity signal, and the A[23:3]# signals are parity-protected by the
AP0# parity signal.
On the active-to-inactive transition of RESET#, the processors sample the A[35:3]# pins to
determine their power-on configuration. See the
