Schematic, Layout and Routing Updates
1. Clock routing Change to Section 11.3, Figure 75 and Table 32 Pages 141,142
Please replace Section 11.3 with the following below. These new clock guidelines are for future
designs to improve PC133 SDRAM Clock Quality.
Clock Routing Guidelines
This section presents the generic clock routing guidelines for both 2-DIMM and 3-DIMM boards. For 3-DIMM
boards, additional analysis must be performed by the motherboard designer to ensure that the clocks generated by the
external PCI clock buffer meet the PCI specifications for clock skew at the receiver, when compared with the PCI
clock at the ICH2.

NOTES:
1. Length A has been simulated up to 6.
2. All PCI clocks must be within 6 of the ICH2 PCICLK route length. Routing on PCI add-in cards must be
included in this length. In the presented solution space, ICH2 PCICLK was considered to be the shortest
in the 6 trace routing range, and other clocks were adjusted from there. The system designer may choose
to alter the relationship of PCI device and slot clocks, as long as all PCI clock lengths are within 6. Note
that the ICH2 PCICLK length is fixed to meet the skew requirements of ICH2 PCICLK to ICH2 HUBCLK
3. 22pf Load cap should be placed 0.5 from GMCH Pin.
General Clock Layout Guidelines
• All clocks should be routed 5 mils wide with 15-mil spacing to any other signals.
• It is recommended to place capacitor sites within 0.5” of the receiver of all clocks. They are
useful in system debug and AC tuning.
• Series resistor for clock guidelines: 22 Ω for GMCH SCLK and 10 Ω for SDRAM clocks.
All other clocks use 33 Ω.
• Each DIMM clock should be matched within +/- 10 mils.

Clock Decoupling
Several general layout guidelines should be followed when laying out the power planes for the CK815 clock
generator, as follows:
• Isolate power planes to the each of the clock groups.
• Place local decoupling as close as possible to power pins, and connect with short, wide traces and copper.
• Connect pins to appropriate power plane with power vias (larger than signal vias).
• Bulk decoupling should be connected to a plane with 2 or more power vias.
• Minimize clock signal routing over plane splits.
• Do not route any signals underneath the clock generator on the component side of the board.
• An example signal via is a 14-mil finished hole with a 24-mil to 26-mil path. An example power via is an
18-mil finished hole with a 33-mil to 38-mil path. For large decoupling or power planes with large current
transients, a larger power via is recommended.
2. Change schematic page 4 of 42, VCOREDET pin
Page 4 of 42 (370-Pin Socket, Part 2) of the 82815E Customer Reference Board (CRB) Schematics show
the VCOREDET pin (lower right corner of the schematic) pulled high to VCC3_3 through a 220 Ohm
resistor and also connected to VCOREDET page 8 of 42 (GMCH Reset Straps). These connections are not
correct.
The VCOREDET pin on the 370-Pin Socket, Part 2, page 4 of 42, should be left as a no-connect.
