The AMD Athlon processor family features the industry's first
seventh-generation x86 microarchitecture, which is designed to
support the growing processor and system bandwidth
requirements of emerging software, graphics, I/O, and memory
technologies. The AMD Athlon processor's nine-issue
superpipelined microarchitecture includes multiple full x86
instruction decoders, a high-performance cache architecture,
three independent integer units, three address calculation
units, and the x86 industry's first superscalar, fully pipelined,
out-of-order, three-way floating-point unit. The floating-point
unit is capable of delivering 4 gigaflops (Gflops) of
single-precision and more than 2 Gflops of double-precision
floating-point results at 1 GHz, for superior performance on
numerically complex applications.
4Overview Chapter 1
AMD Athlon Processor Module Data Sheet 21016M/0 June 2000
Preliminary Information
Only the AMD Athlon processor microarchitecture incorporates
Enhanced 3DNow! technology and the industrys first
200-MHz, 1.6-Gigabyte per second front-side bus (FSB)the
fastest system bus for x86 platforms.
AMDs Enhanced 3DNow! technology includes additional
instructions to the popular 3DNow! instruction set. It consists of
new integer multimedia instructions and software-directed
data movement instructions for optimizing such applications as
digital content creation and streaming video for the internet, as
well as new instructions for digital signal processing
(DSP)/communications applications.
Based on the high-performance Alpha EV6 interface protocol
licensed from Digital Equipment Corporation, the AMD Athlon
system bus combines the latest technological advances, such as
point-to-point topology, source-synchronous packet-based
transfers, and low-voltage signaling, to provide the most
powerful, scalable bus available for any x86 processor.
The AMD Athlon processor is binary-compatible with existing
x86 software and backwards compatible with applications
optimized for MMX and 3DNow! instructions. Using a data
format and single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) operations
based on the MMX instruction model, the AMD Athlon
processor can produce as many as four, 32-bit, single-precision
floating-point results per clock cycle, potentially resulting in
4 Gflops at 1 GHz (fully scalable).
The AMD Athlon processors are implemented in AMDs
advanced 0.18-micron process technology to achieve maximum
performance and scalability.

Preliminary Information
2 Interface Signals
2.1 Overview
The AMD Athlon system bus architecture is designed to
deliver unprecedented data movement bandwidth for
next-generation x86 platforms, as well as the high performance
required by enterprise-class application software. The system
bus architecture consists of three high-speed channels (a
unidirectional processor request channel, a unidirectional
probe channel, and a 72-bit bidirectional data channel,
including 8-bit error code correction [ECC] protection),
source-synchronous clocking, and a packet-based protocol. In
addition, the system bus supports several control, clock, and
legacy signals. The interface signals use a HSTL-like,
low-voltage swing signaling technology contained within the
Slot A mechanical connector, which is mechanically compatible
with the industry-standard SC242 connector.
2.2 Signaling Technology
The AMD Athlon system bus uses a variation of the low-voltage,
JEDEC HSTL signaling technology, which has been enhanced
to provide larger noise margins, reduced ringing, and variable
voltage levels. The signals are open-drained and require
termination to a supply that provides the High signal level. The
HSTL+ inputs use differential receivers, which require a
reference voltage (VREF). The reference signal is used by the
receivers to determine if a signal is asserted or deasserted by
the source. Termination resistors are placed at both ends of the
interface and are used to provide the High signal level and to
control reflections on the interface.

4 Power Management
4.1 Power Management States
The AMD Athlon processor uses multiple advanced power
states to place the processor in reduced power modes. These
power states are used to enhance processor performance,
minimize power dissipation, and provide a balance between
performance and power (see Power Dissipation on page 30
for more information). In addition, these power states conform
to the industry-standard Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface (ACPI) requirements for processor power states.
(ACPI is a specification for system hardware and software to
support OS-oriented power management.) Each state has a
specific mechanism that allows the processor to enter the
respective state. Figure 3 shows the power management states
of the AMD Athlon processor. The figure includes the ACPI
power states for the processor, labeled as Cx.

14 Power Management Chapter 4
AMD Athlon Processor Module Data Sheet 21016M/0 June 2000
Preliminary Information
The following sections describe each of the low-power states.
Note: In all power management states, the system must not
disable the system clock (SYSCLK/SYSCLK#) to the
processor.
Full-On The Full-on or normal state refers to the default power state
and means that all functional units are operating at full
processor clock speed.
Halt State When the AMD Athlon processor executes the HLT instruction,
the processor issues a Halt special cycle to the system bus. The
phase-lock loop (PLL) continues to run, enabling the processor
to monitor bus activity and provide a quick resume from the
Halt state. The processor may enter a lower power state.
The Halt state is exited when the processor samples INIT#,
INTR (if interrupts are enabled), NMI, RESET#, or SMI#.
Stop Grant and Sleep
States
After recognizing the assertion of STPCLK#, the AMD Athlon
processor completes all pending and in-progress bus cycles and
acknowledges the STPCLK# assertion by issuing a Stop Grant
special bus cycle to the system bus. The processor may enter a
lower power state.
From a software standpoint, the Sleep/Stop Grant state is
entered by reading the PLVL registers located in an
ACPI-compliant peripheral bus controller. The difference
between the Stop Grant state and the Sleep state is determined
by which PLVL register software reads from the peripheral bus
controller. If the software reads the PLVL_2 register, the
processor enters the Stop Grant state. In this state, probes are
allowed, as shown in Figure 3 on page 13. If the software reads
the PLVL_3 register, the processor enters the Sleep state, where
probes are not allowed. This action is accomplished by disabling
snoops within an ACPI-compliant system controller.
The Sleep/Stop Grant state is exited upon the deassertion of
STPCLK# or the assertion of RESET#. After the processor
enters the Full-on state, it resumes execution at the instruction
boundary where STPCLK# was initially recognized.
The processor latches INIT#, INTR (if interrupts are enabled),
NMI, and SMI#, if they are asserted during the Stop Grant or
Sleep state. However, the processor does not exit this state until
the deassertion of STPCLK#. When STPCLK# is deasserted,
Chapter 4 Power Management 15
21016M/0 June 2000 AMD Athlon Processor Module Data Sheet
Preliminary Information
any pending interrupts are recognized after returning to the
Normal state.
If RESET# is sampled asserted during the Stop Grant or Sleep
state, the processor immediately returns to the Full-on state
and the reset process begins.
Probe State The Probe state is entered when the system requires the
processor to service a probe. When in the Probe state, the
processor responds to a probe cycle in the same manner as
when it is in the Full-on state.
When the probe has been serviced, the processor returns to the
same state as when it entered the Probe state.
4.2 Connection and Disconnection Protocol
The AMD Athlon processor enhances power savings in each of
the power management states when the system logic
disconnects the processor from the system bus and slows down
the internal clocks. Entering the lowest power state is
accomplished with a connection protocol between the processor
and system logic. The system can initiate a bus disconnection
upon the receipt of a Stop Grant special cycle. If required by the
system, the processor disconnects from the system bus and
slows down its internal clocks before entering the Stop Grant or
Sleep state. If the system requires the processor to service a
probe while it is in the Stop Grant state, it must first request
that the processor increase its clocks to full speed and
reconnect to the system bus. Table 3 on page 16 describes the
AMD Athlon processor power states using the connection
protocol as described on page 16.
AMD Athlon system bus connections and disconnections are
controlled by an enable bit within the system controller.
16 Power Management Chapter 4
AMD Athlon Processor Module Data Sheet 21016M/0 June 2000
Preliminary Information
Connection Protocol In addition to the legacy STPCLK# signal and the Halt and Stop
Grant special cycles, the AMD Athlon system bus connection
protocol includes the CONNECT, PROCRDY, and CLKFWDRST
signals and a Connect special cycle.
AMD Athlon system bus disconnects are initiated by the system
controller in response to the receipt of a Stop Grant special
cycle. Reconnections are initiated by the processor in response
to an interrupt or STPCLK# deassertion, or by the system to
service a probe.
A disconnect request is implicit, if enabled, in the processor
Stop Grant special cycle request. It is expected that the system
controller provides a BIOS-programmable register in which it

Initiates either a Halt instruction or STPCLK#
assertion.
Halt
Execution of the Halt instruction. A special
cycle is issued. The processor may enter a
lower power state.
The processor exits and returns to the Run state upon
the occurrence of INIT#, INTR, NMI, SMI# or RESET#.
The processor transitions to the Stop Grant state if
STPCLK# is asserted and returns to the Halt state
upon STPCLK# deassertion.
Stop Grant
The processor transitions to the Stop Grant
state with the assertion of STPCLK# (as a
result of a read to the PLVL_2 register). A
Stop Grant special cycle is issued. The
processor may enter a lower power state.
Note: While in this state, interrupts are
latched and serviced when the processor
transitions to the Full-on state.
The processor transitions to the Full-on or Halt state
upon STPCLK# deassertion.
RESET# asserted initializes the processor but, if
STPCLK# is asserted, the processor returns to the
Stop Grant state.
Probe
A transition to the Probe state occurs when
the system asserts CONNECT. The
processor remains in this state until the
probe is serviced and any data is
transferred.
The processor returns to the Halt or Stop Grant state
when the probe has been serviced and the system
deasserts CONNECT. If the processor was
disconnected from the bus in the previous state, bus
disconnection occurs and the internal frequency of
the processor is again slowed down.
Sleep
The processor can enter its lowest power
state, Sleep, from the Full-on state with the
assertion of STPCLK# (as a result of a read
to the PLVL_3 register).
Note: While in this state, interrupts are
latched and serviced when the processor
transitions to the Full-on state.
The processor transitions to the Run state upon
STPCLK# deassertion. Asserting RESET# initializes the
processor but, if STPCLK# is asserted, the processor
returns to the Sleep state.

Preliminary Information
can disconnect the processor from the AMD Athlon system bus
upon the occurrence of a Stop Grant special cycle. The system
receives the special cycle request from the processor and, if
there are no outstanding probes or data movements, the system
deasserts CONNECT to the processor. The processor detects the
deassertion of CONNECT on a rising edge of SYSCLK, and
deasserts PROCRDY to the system. In return, the system
asserts CLKFWDRST in anticipation of reestablishing a
connection at some later point.
Note: The system must disconnect the processor from the
AMD Athlon system bus before issuing the Stop Grant
special cycle to the PCI bus.
The processor can receive an interrupt or STPCLK# deassertion
after it sends a Stop Grant special cycle to the system but
before the disconnection actually occurs. In this case, the
processor sends the Connect special cycle to the system, rather
than continuing with the disconnect sequence. The system
cancels the disconnection. Figure 4 shows the sequence of
events from a system perspective, which leads to disconnecting
the processor from the AMD Athlon system bus and placing the
processor in the Stop Grant state.
Figure 4. Example System Bus Disconnection Sequence
The following sequence of events describes how the processor is
placed in the Stop Grant state when bus disconnection is
enabled within the system controller:
1. The peripheral controller asserts STPCLK# to place the
processor in the Stop Grant state.
2. When the processor receives STPCLK#, it acknowledges the
system by sending out a Stop Grant special bus cycle on the
AMD Athlon system bus.

4. The processor replies to the system controller by
deasserting PROCRDY, approving the bus disconnect

5. The system controller asserts CLKFWDRST to complete the

6. After the processor is disconnected from the bus, the
system controller passes the Stop Grant special cycle along
to the peripheral controller via the PCI bus, notifying it that
the processor is in the Stop Grant state.
Figure 5 shows the signal sequence of events that take the
processor out of the Stop Grant state, reconnect the processor
to the AMD Athlon system bus, and put the processor into the
Full-on state.

The following sequence of events removes the processor from
the Stop Grant state and reconnects it to the AMD Athlon

1. The peripheral controller deasserts STPCLK#, informing
the processor of a wake event.
2. When the processor receives STPCLK#, it asserts
PROCRDY, notifying the system controller to reconnect to
the bus.
3. The system controller asserts CONNECT, telling the
processor that it is connected to the AMD Athlon system

4. The system controller finally deasserts CLKFWDRST, which
synchronizes the forwarded clocks between the processor
and the system controller.

6.1 The AMD Athlon System Bus
The AMD Athlon system bus architecture is designed to
deliver unprecedented data movement bandwidth for
next-generation x86 platforms, as well as the high performance
required by enterprise-class application software. The system
bus architecture consists of three high-speed channels (a
unidirectional processor request channel, a unidirectional
snoop channel, and a 72-bit bidirectional data channel,
including 8-bit error code correction [ECC] protection),
source-synchronous clocking, and a packet-based protocol. In
addition, the system bus supports several control, clock, and
legacy signals. The interface signals use a HSTL-like,
low-voltage swing signaling technology contained within the
Slot A mechanical connector, which is mechanically compatible
with the industry-standard SC242 connector. For more
information on the AMD Athlon system bus, see the
AMD Athlon System Bus Specification, order# 21902.
6.2 Signal Groupings
The AMD Athlon system bus is the processor connection to a
memory and I/O controller or a shared multiprocessor
controller. The system interface can be categorized into four
signal groups plus power and ground connections. These groups
are listed in Table 4 on page 24. The first group connects the
AMD Athlon processor to the system controller and uses a
source-synchronous, or clock-forwarded clocking scheme. Using
this technique, the clocks and data travel in the same direction
down the transmission line and arrive together. The second
group connects the AMD Athlon processor to the peripheral
bus controller, but unlike the system controller group, these
signals do not use a source-synchronous scheme. The third
group is the control group, which contains signals that interface
with the power supply of the system. The fourth group contains
the system clock. This is the input clock for the AMD Athlon
processor and is the source for all other clocks generated by the
AMD Athlon processor module.
24 Electrical Data Chapter 6
AMD Athlon Processor Module Data Sheet 21016M/0 June 2000
Preliminary Information
Clock Forwarding The signals in the system controller group can be divided into
six source-synchronous groups, as shown in Table 5. Groups that
contain two clocks are bidirectional, source-synchronous
groups. These groups use a different clock, based on the
operation being performed. For example, when data is sent
from the AMD Athlon processor to the system controller,
SDATAOUTCLK# is used, and when data is sent from the
system controller to the AMD Athlon processor, SDATAINCLK#
is used. The topology is point-to-point and active terminations.

6.3 Voltage Identification
The AMD Athlon processor provides four voltage ID lines back
to the system for proper configuration of the processor core
voltage. The processor either connects a VID to VSS, or has an
open value. If required by the voltage regulator, the
motherboard pulls up these four signals up to TTL levels. The
motherboard is required to pull VID[4] Low for the voltage
regulator to supply voltage in the appropriate range for the
AMD Athlon processor. These voltage ID values are defined in
Table 6. The pullup resistors used on the motherboard must
have a value of at least 10 k.
In addition, the AMD Athlon processor provides the VCC2SEL
signal to identify the core voltage of the L2 cache SRAMs. Like
the VID signals, the AMD Athlon processor either connects the
VCC2SEL to VSS or has an open value, with a pullup resistor on
the motherboard. An open value indicates that a voltage of 2.5V
is required for VCC_SRAM, while a VSS indicates a required
voltage of 3.3V.

6.4 Frequency Identification
The AMD Athlon processor provides four frequency ID signals
(FID[3:0]) to the system controller to indicate the SYSCLK
multiplier at which the processor core operates. This
mechanism is automatic, using the system controller and the
BIOS without jumpers on the motherboard to set the operating
frequency of the AMD Athlon processor.

21016M/0 June 2000 AMD Athlon Processor Module Data Sheet
Preliminary Information
OD Termination Both the processor and Northbridge use HSTL-like open-drain
outputs and HSTL-like inputs. Therefore, the bus signals must
be terminated both at the source and the destination with 47-
pullup resistors to VCC_CORE. Pullups at the processor are
located on the processor module and need not be considered
during motherboard layout. Consequently, the only
terminations required on the motherboard are the pullup
resistors at the Northbridge. These pullup termination resistors
must be located 1 inch from the Northbridge.
For systems that do not support ECC, SCHECK[7:0]# should be
tied to VCC_CORE with a 47-ohm pullup, with minimal routing
where possible.
CLKFWD Signal
Groups
The termination scheme for all clock forward signals, both
signal and clock, involves having each end terminated by a
47-ohm pullup resistor located 1 inch from each device. Pullups
at the processor are located on the processor module and need
not be considered during motherboard layout.
Note: The data bus, SDATA[63:0], drives in both directions and,
therefore, must have a unidirectional clock for each data
group travelling each way.
SYSCLK, SYSCLK# Each of the two SYSCLK pairs from the clock generator to the
processor, SYSCLK and SYSCLK# (true and complimentary),
are series terminated at the source with a 47-ohm resistor
located a maximum distance of 0.5 inch from the clock
generator and parallel terminated at the end with a 47-ohm
resistor to VCC_CORE. Parallel termination occurs on the
processor module and need not be considered during
motherboard layout.

Notes:
1. VREF:
VREF is nominally set by a (1%) resistor divider from VCC_CORE.
The suggested divider resistor values are 90.9 ohms over 80.6 ohms to produce a divisor of 0.47.
The internal VREF (VREF-INT) is the external VREF scaled by 0.80 (VREF-INT = (VREF/0.80)). (Processor pin SysVrefMode = High)
Example: VCC_CORE = 1.6V, VREF = 752mV (1.6 * 0.47), VREF-INT = 940mV (752mV/0.8).
Peak-to-Peak AC noise on VREF (AC) should not exceed 2% of VREF (DC).
2. IVREF should be measured at nominal VREF.
3. VOL-DC-MAX, VOL-AC-MAX, VOH-DC-MIN and VOH-AC-MIN are specified at T = 100°C and VCC_CORE = 1.4V.
4. Does not apply to VREF.
5. The SYSCLK and SYSCLK# signals have twice the capacitance because they connect to two input pads. SYSCLK connects to
CLKIN/RSTCLK. SYSCLK# connects to CLKIN#/RSTCLK#.
6. The following information pertains only to Model 1 and Model 2. The SDATAINCLK[3:0]# signals have twice the capacitance
because they connect to two input pads. SDATAINCLK[3:0]# connects two byte clocks to form a word sized clock.

Signals and Bits
n
Active-Low SignalsSignal names containing a pound sign,
such as SFILL#, indicate active-Low signals. They are
asserted in their Low-voltage state and negated in their
High-voltage state. When used in this context, High and
Low are written with an initial upper case letter.
n
Signal RangesIn a range of signals, the highest and lowest
signal numbers are contained in brackets and separated by
a colon (for example, D[63:0]).
n
Reserved Bits and SignalsSignals or bus bits marked
reserved must be driven inactive or left unconnected, as
indicated in the signal descriptions. These bits and signals
are reserved by AMD for future implementations. When
software reads registers with reserved bits, the reserved bits
must be masked. When software writes such registers, it
must first read the register and change only the
non-reserved bits before writing back to the register.
n
Three-State In timing diagrams, signal ranges that are
high impedance are shown as a straight horizontal line
half-way between the high and low levels.

pattern.
Data Terminology
The following list defines data terminology:
n
Quantities
A word is two bytes (16 bits)
A doubleword is four bytes (32 bits)
A quadword is eight bytes (64 bits)
An AMD Athlon processor cache line is eight
quadwords (64 bytes)
n
AddressingMemory is addressed as a series of bytes on
eight-byte (64-bit) boundaries in which each byte can be
separately enabled.
n
AbbreviationsThe following notation is used for bits and
bytes:
Kilo (K, as in 4-Kbyte page)
Mega (M, as in 4 Mbits/sec)
Giga (G, as in 4 Gbytes of memory space)
See Table 24 for more abbreviations.
n
Little-Endian ConventionThe byte with the address
xx...xx00 is in the least-significant byte position (little end).
In byte diagrams, bit positions are numbered from right to
leftthe little end is on the right and the big end is on the
left. Data structure diagrams in memory show low addresses
at the bottom and high addresses at the top. When data
items are aligned, bit notation on a 64-bit data bus maps
directly to bit notation in 64-bit-wide memory. Because byte
addresses increase from right to left, strings appear in
reverse order when illustrated.
n
Bit RangesIn text, bit ranges are shown with a dash (for
example, bits 91). When accompanied by a signal or bus
name, the highest and lowest bit numbers are contained in
brackets and separated by a colon (for example, AD[31:0]).
n
Bit ValuesBits can either be set to 1 or cleared to 0.

Hexadecimal and Binary NumbersUnless the context
makes interpretation clear, hexadecimal numbers are
followed by an h and binary numbers are followed by a b.
