Control Signals
Note: Only VID [6.0] are used for VRM/EVRD 11.0 platforms. The eighth VID bit is provisional for future
Itanium-based platforms.
3.3 Differential Remote Sense (VO_SEN+/-) -
REQUIRED
The PWM controller shall include differential sense inputs to compensate for an output
voltage offset of less than 300 mV in the power distribution path. This common mode
voltage is expected to occur due to transient currents and parasitic inductances and is
not expected to be caused by parasitic resistances.
It’s recommended that the remote sense lines’ current draw will not push the actual
Load Line outside of the Load Line limits shown in Table 2-3. As a practical guideline to
minimizing offset errors, it is recommended that the combination of the sense resistor
values and the remote sense current draw will result in the total DC voltage offset <=
2mV.
Note: V
CC_DIE_SENSE, VSS_DIE_SENSE, VCC_DIE_SENSE2 and VSS_DIE_SENSE2 of the processor pins
are to be used as the VR sense input.
