Output Voltage Requirements
The platform processor decoupling design incorporates fifteen 560 µF Aluminum-
polymer bulk capacitors and forty four 10 µF 1206 package ceramic high-frequency
capacitors per processor for a 6 layer board, thirteen 560 µF Aluminum-polymer bulk
capacitors and forty four 10 µF 1206 package ceramic high-frequency capacitors per
processor for a 8 layer board and seventeen 560 µF Aluminum-polymer bulk capacitors
and fifty four 10 µF 0805 package ceramic high-frequency capacitors per processor for
a 8 layer board (Table 2-8). At least nine of the 10 µF capacitors should be placed in the
cavity of the processor socket. The remaining capacitors can be placed under the
processor socket on the backside of the baseboard. The 560 µF capacitors should be
placed along the sides of the processor socket, as close to the socket as the keep-out
zones allow and on the south east side of the processor socket where the bulk of the
power pins are located.
