ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
between the Pentium processor (75-200) and the
Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX technology.
The Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX
technology requires 3.3 volts to power the processor.
The voltage to the socket is 3.3 volt and is converted
by an on-package voltage regulator to the proper
voltage for the processor’s internal core voltage
plane. The internal 3.3 volt I/O plane is powered from
the socket to the processor. The Pentium OverDrive
processor with MMX technology looks like a 3.3 volt
device externally.
5.1.
Power and Ground
For clean on-chip power distribution, the Pentium
OverDrive processor with MMX technology in an
SPGA package has 60 V
CC
(power) and 68 V
SS
(ground) inputs. The 28 V
CC2
pins are connected
internally to a power plane that provides power to the
on-package voltage regulator for the core supply.
The 32 V
CC3
pins are connected internally to a
separate power plane that provides power to the I/O
buffers. Power and ground connections must be
made to all external V
CC
and V
SS
pins of the Pentium
OverDrive processor with MMX technology. On the
circuit board all V
CC
pins must be connected to a
3.3V V
CC
plane. All V
SS
pins must be connected to a
V
SS
plane.
The Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX
technology pinout contains two 5V V
CC
pins (V
CC5
)
used to provide power to the fan/heatsink. These
pins should be connected to +5 volts

Decoupling Recommendations
Decoupling recommendation for the original Pentium
processor apply to the Pentium OverDrive processor
with MMX technology upgradable systems and
capacitors should be placed near the Pentium
OverDrive processor with MMX technology. The

the original Pentium processor specification for
decoupling recommendations.

Other Connection
Recommendations
For reliable operation, always connect unused inputs
to an appropriate signal level. Unused active low
inputs should be connected to V
CC
. Unused active
high inputs should be connected to ground. All NC
pins must remain unconnected.
