2.0 Architecture Overview
A highly integrated ass e m bly, the Pentium III processor mobile module contains the mobile
Pentium III processor core that runs at speeds of 450 MHz and 500 MHz with a 100-MHz processor
system bus speed (PSB).
The Intel 440BX AGPset provides immediate system-level support and includes the PIIX4E/M
PCI/ISA Bridge and the 82443BX Host Bridge. The PIIX4E/M provides extensive power
management capabilities and supports the Intel 82443BX Host Bridge. A notebooks system
electronics must includ e a PIIX4E/M device to conn ect to the Pentium III processor mobi le modu le.
Key features of the Intel 82443BX Host Bridge include: the DRAM controller supporting SDRAM
at 3.3Vwith a burst read at 4-1-1-1; a PCI CLKRUN# signal to request the PIIX4E/M to regulate
the PCI clock on the PCI bus; the 82443BX clock enables Self-Refresh mode of SDRAM during
Suspend mode and is compatible with SMRAM (C_SMRAM) and Extended SMRAM
(E_SMRAM) modes of power management ; and E_SMRAM mode supports write-back cacheable
SMRAM up to 1 MB.
The thermal transfer plates (TTP) on the mobile Pentium III processor and the 82443BX Host
Bridge provide heat dissipation and thermal attach points for the manufacturers thermal solution .
An on-board voltage regulator converts the system DC voltage to the processors core and I/O
voltage. Isolating the processor voltage requirements allows the system manufacturer to
incorporate different processor variants into a single notebook system. Supporting input voltages
from 7.5V to 21.0V, the integrated modu le voltage regulator enables an above 8 0% peak ef ficiency
and de-couples the processor voltage requirements from the system.
Also incorpor ated is active thermal feed back (ATF) s ensing, compliant with the ACPI Specification
Rev 1.0. Figure 1 illustrates the block diagram of the mobile module .

FERR# O D
CMOS V_CPUPU
Numeric Co-processor Error: This signal functions as an FERR#
signal supporting co-processor error s. This signal is tied to the co-
processor error signal on the processor and is pulled active low by the
processor to the PIIX4E/M.
IGNNE# I D
CMOS V_CPUPU Ignore Error: This open-drain signal is connected to the Ignore Error
pin on the processor and is driven by the PIIX4E/M.
INT# I D
CMOS V_CPUPU Initialization: INIT# is asserted by the PIIX4E/M to the processor for
system initialization. This signal is an open-drain.
INTR I D
CMOS V_CPUPU Processor Interrupt: The PIIX4E/M drives INTR to signal the
processor that an interrupt request is pending and needs to be serviced.
This signal is an open-drain.
NMI I D
CMOS V_CPUPU
Non-maskable Interrupt: NMI is used to force a non-maskable
interrupt to the processor. The PIIX4E/M ISA bridge generates an NMI
when either SERR# or IOCHK# is asserted, depending on how the NMI
Status and Control Register is programmed. This signal is an open-
drain.
A20M# I D
CMOS V_CPUPU Address Bit 20 Mask: When enabled, this open-drain signal causes
the processor to emulate the address wraparound at 1 MB, which
occurs on the Intel 8086 processor.
SMI# I D
CMOS V_CPUPU
System Management Interrupt: SMI# is an active-low synchronous
output from the PIIX4E/M that is asserted in response to one of many
enabled hardware or software events. The SMI# open-drain signal can
be an asynchronous input to the processor. Howev er, in this chipset
SMI# is synchronous to PCLK.
STPCLK# I D
CMOS V_CPUPU
Stop Clock: STPCLK# is an active-low , synchronous open-drain output
from the PIIX4E/M that is asserted in response to one of many
hardware or software events. STP CLK# connec ts directly to the
processor and is synchronous to PCICLK. When the processor samples
STPCLK# asserted, it responds by entering a low-power state (Quick
Start). The processor will only exit this mode when this signal is
deasserted.

4.0 Functional Description
4.1 P entium III Processor Mobile Module MMC-2
The mobile Pentium III processor core runs at speeds of 450 MHz and 500 MHz with a 100-MHz
PSB.
4.2 L2 Cache
The on-die L2 cache has 256 KB, is eight-way set associative, and runs at the speed of the
processor core.
4.3 The 82443BX Host Bridge System Controller
Intels 82443BX Host Bridge system controller is a highly integrated device that combines the bus
controller, the DRAM controller, and the PCI bus controller into one component. The 82443BX
Host Bridge has multiple power management features designed specifically for notebook systems
such as:
CLKRUN#, a feature that enables controlling of the PCI clock on or off.
The 82443B X Hos t B ri dge su spend mod e s, w hic h i nclude Suspend - To-RAM (STR), Suspend-
To-Disk (STD), and Power-On-Suspend (POS).
System Managemen t RAM (S MRA M) p ower management mo des , w hich includ e C ompa tib le
SMRAM (C_S MRAM) and Extended SMRAM (E_SMRAM). C_SM RAM is the traditional
SMRAM feature implemented in all Intel PCI chipsets. E_SMRAM is a new feature that
supports write-back cacheable SMRAM space up to 1 MB. To minimize power consumption
while the system is idle, the internal 82443BX Host Bridge clock is turned off (gated off) when
there is no processor and PCI activity. Thi s is accompli shed by setting the G_CLK enable bit
in the power management register in the 82443BX through the system BIOS.
4.3.1 Memory Organization
The memory interface of the 82443BX Host Bridge is available at connector. This allows for the
following:
One set of memory control sign als, suf ficien t to support up to three SO-DIM M sockets and six
banks of SDRAM at 100 MHz.
One CKE signal for each bank.
Memory features not supported by the 82443BX Host Bridge system controller standard MMC-2
mode are:
Eight banks of memory
256-Mb memory devices
Second set of memory address lines (MAA[13:0])
Pentium III Processor Mobile Module MMC-2
245304-004 Datasheet 21
Extended Data Out (EDO) DRAM
66-MHz memory bus
The clocking architecture supp orts the use of SDRAM. The clock ing mod e for 100- MHz SDRAM
memory confi gurations allows all host and SDRA M clocks to be generate d from the same cloc king
source on the sys tem electroni cs. For comp lete detai ls about memo ry device supp ort, or g anizati on,
size, and addressing when using SDRAM memory and trace length guidelines, refer to the Intel®
Pentium® III Processor Mobile Module System Electronics 100-MHz Layout Guidelines Revision.
1.0 (OR-1780).
4.3.2 Reset Strap Options
Several strap options on the memory address bus define the behavior of the Pentium III processor
mobile module after reset. Other straps are allowed to override the default settings. Table 13 shows
the various straps and their implementation.
4.3.3 PCI Interface
The PCI interface of the 82443BX Host Bridge is available at the MMC-2 connector. The
82443BX Hos t B ri dge su pports the P CI Cl o c kru n p rot oco l for P CI bus p ow er manageme nt. In this
protocol, PCI devices assert the C LKRUN# open-drain s ignal when they req uire the use of the PCI
interface. Refer to the PCI Mobile Design Gu ide for complete details on the PCI Clockrun
protocol.
The 82443BX Host Bridge is responsible for arbitrating the PCI bus. The 82443BX Host Bridge
can support up to five PCI bus masters. There are five PCI Request/Grant pairs (REQ[4:0]# and
GNT[4:0]#) available on the connector to the system electronics.
Note: The PCI interface on the MMC-2 connector is 3.3V only. PCI devices that are 5.0V are not
supported.
The 82443BX Host Bridge system controller is compliant with the PCI 2.1 Specification , whi ch
improves the worst case PCI bus access latency from earlier PCI specifications. The 82443BX
Host Bridge supports only Mechanism #1 for accessing PCI configuration space. This implies that
signals AD[31:11] are available for PCI IDSEL sign als. Ho wever, since the 82443BX Hos t Bridg e

The 82443BX reserves AD12 for the AGPbus. Thus , AD13 is the first available address line us able
as an IDSEL. Intel recommends that AD18 be used by the PIIX4E/M.
4.3.4 AGP Interface
The 82443BX Host Bridge s ystem controll er is comp liant with the AGP Interface Specification
Revision 2.0, which supports an asynchronous AGP interface coupling to the 82443BX core
frequency. The AGP interface can achieve real data throughput in excess of 500 MB per second
using an AGP 2X graphics device. Actual bandwidth may vary depending on specific hardware
and software implementations.
4.4 Power Management
4.4.1 Clock Control Arch itec ture
The clock control architecture has been optimized for notebook designs. The clock control
architecture consists of seven different clock states: Normal, Stop Grant, Auto Halt, Quick Start,
HALT/Grant Snoop, Sleep, and Deep Sleep s tates. The Auto Halt s tate provides a low-power clock
state that can be controlled throug h the s of tware execution of the HLT instruction. The Quick Start
state provides a very low-power, low-exit latency clock state that can be used for hardware
controlled "idle" states. The Deep Sleep state provides an extremely low-power state that can be
used for Power-On-Suspend states, which is an alternative to shutting off the processors power.
The exit latency of the Deep Sleep state is 30 µS in the mobile module. The Stop Grant state and
the Quick S tart clock s tate are mu tually ex clusiv e. For ex ample, a st rap ping option on sign al A15#
chooses which state is entered when th e STPCLK# signal is asserted. S trap ping the A15# signal to
ground at Reset enables the Quick Start state. Otherwise, asserting the STPCLK# signal puts the
processor into the Stop Grant state.
Table 14 provides information on the clock control states and Figure 3 illustrates the clock control
architecture. Performing state transitions not shown in Figure 3 are neither recommended nor
supported.

Asserting the STPCLK# signal while in the Auto Halt state will cause the processor to transition to
the Stop Grant state or the Quick Start state, where a Stop Grant Acknowledge bus cycle will be
issued. Deassertin g STP CLK# will cause the processor to return to the Auto H alt state without
issuing a new Halt bus cycle.
The SMI# (System Management Interrupt) is recognized in the Auto Halt state. The return from the
SMI handler can be to either the Normal state or the Auto Halt state. See the Intel® Architect ure
Software Developer's Manual, Vo lume III: System Programmer's Guide for more information. No
Halt bus cycle is issued when returning to the Auto Halt state from System Management Mode
(SMM).
The FLUSH# signal is ser viced in the Auto Halt state. After flushing the on-chip, the pr oces so r
will return to the Auto Halt state without issuing a Halt bus cycle. Transitions in the A20M# and
PREQ# signals are recognized while in the Auto Halt state.
4.4.1.3 Stop Grant State
Intel mobile modules do not supp ort th e Stop Grant state.
In desktop systems, the processor enters this mode with the as sertion of the STPCLK# signal when
it is configured for Stop Grant state (via the A15# strapping opti on) . The processo r is still able to
respond to snoop request s and latch int erru pt s. Latched int errupts will be serviced when the
processor returns to the Normal state. Only one occurrence of each interrupt event will be latched.
A transition back to the Normal state can b e made by the deass ertion of the STPCLK# s ignal, or the
occurrence of a stop break event (a BINIT#, FLUSH#, or RESET# assertion).
The processor will return to the Stop Grant state after the completion of a BINIT# bus initialization
unless STPCLK# has been deasserted. RESET# assertion will cause the processor to immediately
initialize itself. Howe ver, the processor will stay in the Stop Grant state after initialization until
STPCLK# is deasserted. If th e FLUSH# signal is asserted, the pro cesso r w ill f lush the on-chip
caches and return to the Stop Grant state. A transition to the Sleep state can be made by the
assertion of the SLP# signal.
While in the Stop Grant state, assertions of SMI#, INIT#, INTR, and NMI (or LINT[1:0]) will be
latched by the processor . These latched events will not be serviced until the processor returns to the
Normal state. Only one of each event will be recognized upon return to the Normal state.
4.4.1.4 Quick Start State
This is a mode entered by the process or with the assertion of the STPCLK# signal when it is
configured for the Quick Start state (via the A15# strapping option). In the Quick Start state the
processor is only capable of acting on snoop transactions generated by the PSB priority device.
Because of its snooping behavior, Quick Start can only be used in single processor configurations.
A transition to the Deep Sleep state can be made by stopping the clock input to the processor. A
transition back to the Normal state (from the Quick S tart state) is made only if the STPCLK# signal
is deasserted.
While in this state the processor is limited in its ability to respond to input. It is incapable of
latching any i n t errup t s, s ervi cing s no op transact ions from symmetric b us mast ers , or respon ding to
FLUSH# and BINIT# assertions. In the Quick Start state, the processor will not respond properly to
any input signal other than STPCLK#, RESET#, or BPRI#. If any other input signal changes, then
the behavio r of the pro cessor wi ll be unpr edictable. No serial int errupt mess ages may begin or be in
progress while the processor is in the Quick Start state.
Pentium III Processor Mobile Module MMC-2
26 Datasheet 245304-004
RESET# assertion will cause the processor to imme diat ely initialize itself, but the processor will
stay in the Quick Start state after initialization until STPCLK# is deasserted.
4.4.1.5 HALT/Grant Snoop State
The processor will respond to snoop transactions on the PSB while in the Auto Halt, Stop Grant, or
Quick S tart state. When a snoop transaction is presented o n the sys tem bus , the p rocessor will enter
the HALT/Grant Snoop state. The processor w ill r emain in this state until the snoop has b een
serviced and the PSB is quiet. After the snoop has been serviced, the processor will return to its
previous state. If the HALT/Grant Snoop state is entered from the Quick Start state, then the input
signal restrictions o f the Quick Start state still apply in th e HALT/Grant Snoop state ( except for
those signal transitions that are required to perform the snoop).
4.4.1.6 Sleep State
Intel mobile mo dules do not support the Sleep state.
In desktop systems, the Sleep state is a very low-power state in which the processor maintains its
context and the phase locked loop (PLL) maintains phase lock. The Sleep state can only be entered
from the Stop Grant state. After entering the Stop Grant state the SLP# signal can be asserted,
causing the processor to enter the Sleep state. The SLP# signal is not recognized in the Normal
state or the Auto Halt state.
The processor can be reset by the RESET# signal while in the Sleep state. If RESET# is driven
active while the processor is in the Sleep state, then SLP# and STPCLK# must immediately be
driven inactive to ensu r e that the pro cessor correctly initializes itself.
Input signals (other than RESET#) may not change while the processor is in or transitioning into or
out of the Sleep state. Input signal changes at these ti mes will cause unpredictable behavior. Thus,
the processor is incapable of snooping or latching any events in the Sleep state.
While in the Sleep state the processor can enter its lowest power state, the Deep Sleep state.
Removing the proces so rs input clock puts the processor in the Deep Sleep state. PICCLK may be
removed in the Sleep state.
4.4.1.7 Deep Sleep State
The Deep Sleep state is the lowest power mode the processor can enter while maintaining its
context. Stopping the BCLK input to the processor enters the Deep Sleep state, while it is in the
Sleep state or t h e Q uick Start st at e. Fo r pr oper operat ion, t h e BCL K in put s hou l d be st op ped i n the
low state.
The processor will return to the Sleep state or the Quick Start state from the Deep Sleep state when
the BCLK input is restarted. Due to the PLL lock latency, there is a 30-µS delay after the clocks
have started before this state transition happens. PICCLK may be removed in the Deep Sleep state.
PICCLK should be designed to turn on when BCLK turns on when transitioning out of the Deep
Sleep state.
The input signal restrictions for the Deep Sleep state are the same as for the Sleep state, except that
RESET# assertion will result in unpredictable behavior.

4.5 Power Consumption in Power Management Mode
The power data is broken down into each power rail. Each power rail is supplied to the module
through the MMC-2 connector. The total power values are based on typical power consumption.
The data is captured at Tamb = 25°C, T TTP = 25 °C, and V_DC = 18.0V.
Note: All power comumption values are not 100% tested and have been characterized by design.
Table 15 and Table 16 provide the module power consumption values in various power
management modes. Because mobile modules with the same frequencies may have different
printed circuit board (PCB) revisions, refer to the product tracking code (PTC) lists before each
table below to match the correct power consumptio n inf ormation with the correct mobile module.

5.0 Electrical Specifications
The following section provides the electrical specifications for the Pentium III processor mobile
module.
5.1 System Bus Clock Signal Quality Specifications
The HCLK0 and BCLK signal names are used interchangeably.
5.1.1 BCLK DC Specifications
NOTE: VILX,min and VIH,max only apply when BCLK is stopped. BCLK should be stopped in the low state. See
Table 18 for the BCLK voltage range specifications when BCLK is running.
5.1.2 BCLK AC Specifications
NOTES:
1. All AC timings for GTL+ and CMOS signals are referenced to the BCLK rising edge at 1.25V. All CMOS
signals are referenced at 0.75V.
2. The internal core clock frequency is derived from the PSB clock . The PSB clock to core clock ratio is
determined during initialization and is predetermined by the Intel mobile module. The BCLK period allows a
+0.5 nS tolerance for clock driver variation.
3. This value is measured on the rising edge of adjacent BCLKs at 1.25V. The jitter present must be accounted
for as a component of BCLK skew between devices.
4. The clock drivers closed loop jitter bandwidth must be set low to allow any PLL-based device to track the
jitter created by the clock driver. The -20.0 dB attenuation point, as measured into a 10.0-pF to a 2.0-pF load,
should be less than 500 kHz. This specification may be ensured by design characterization and/or measured
with a spectrum analyzer. See the CK97 Clock Synthesizer/Driver Specification (OR-1089) for further details.
5. These values are not 100% tested and are specified by design characterization as a clock driver
requirement.
6. Specifications labeled N/A are not available.

5.3 Processor Core Voltage Regulation
The DC voltage regulator (DC/DC converter) supports the core voltage and I/O ring voltage. The
DC voltage regulator provides the appropriate processor core voltage, the GTL+ bus termination
voltage, th e process or si deban d sig nal pul lup vol tage, and the clock driver buffer vol tage. O f thes e
voltages, only the processor sideband pullup voltage (V_CPUPU) and the clock driver buffer
voltage (V_CLK) are delivered to the system electronics.
The DC voltage range is 7.5V ~ 21.0V from the system battery or power supply for mobile
applications.
5.3.1 Voltage Regulator Efficiency
There are three voltage regulators on the mobile module. These vol tage regu lato rs generate the
core voltage used by the CPU and the voltage for the CPU I/O ring voltage. The core voltage
regulator provides the required current from the V_DC supply and its relative efficiencies are
shown in Table 21 and Figure 5. The V_CLK and Vtt voltage regulators tap the V_3 plane.

5.3.2 Voltage Regulator Control
The VR_ON pin on the connector allows a 3.3-V signal to control the voltage regulator. The
system manufacturer can use this signal to turn the voltage regulator on or off. VR_ON should be
controlled as a function of the same signal (SUSB#) used to control the systems switched 5.0 -V
and 3.3-V power planes. The PIIX4E/M defines Suspend B as the Power Management state in
which power is physically removed from the processor and the voltage regulator. In this state, the
SUSB# pin on the PIIX4E/M controls these power planes. The mobile module provides the
VR_PWRGD signal, which indicates that the voltage regulator power is operating at a stable
voltage level. The system manufacturer should use this signal on the system electronics to control
power inputs and to gate PWROK to the PIIX4E/M South Bridge. Table 22 provides the detailed
definitions and sequences of the voltage signals.
The following list includes additional specifications and clarifications of the power sequence
timing and Figure 6 provides an illustration.
1. The VR_ON signal may only be asserted to a logical high by a digital signal after V_DC
7.5V, V_5 4.5V, and V_3 3.0V.
Table 22. Volt age Signal Definitions and Sequences
Signal Source Definitions and Sequences
V_DC System Electronics
V_DC is required to be between 7.5V and 21.0V DC and is driven by
the system electronics power supply. V_DC powers the Pentium III
processor mobile mo dule DC-to-DC converter for the processor core
and I/O voltages.
The mobile module cannot be hot inserte d or removed while
V_DC is powered on.
V_5 System Electronics V_5 is supplied by the system electronics for the voltage regulator.
V_3 System Electronics V_3 is supplied by the system electronics for the 82443BX and powers
the mobile modules linear regulators for generating the V_CLK and
V_CPUPU voltage rails. It stays on during suspend.
V_3S System Electronics V_3S is supplied by the system electronics, and V_3S is shut off
during suspend.
VR_ON System Electronics
VR_ON is a 3.3-V signal that enables the voltage regulator circuit.
When driven active high, the voltage regulator circuit is activated. The
signal driving VR_ON should be a digital signal with a rise and fall time
of less than or equal to 1 µS. (VIL (max)= 0.4V, VIH (min)= 3.0V.)
V_CORE Module A result of VR_ON being asserted, V_CORE is an output of the DC-
DC regulator on the mobile module and is driven to the core voltage of
the processor .
VR_PWRGD Module
Upon sampling the voltage level of V_CORE (minus tolerances for
ripple), VR_PWRGD is driven active high. If VR_PWRGD is not
sampled active within 1 second of the assertion of VR_ON, then the
system electronics should deasser t VR_ON. After V_CO RE is
stabilized, VR_PWRGD will assert to logic high (3.3V). This signal
must not be pulled up by the system electronics. VR_PWRGD should
be "logically ANDed" with V_3S to generate the PIIX4E/M input signal,
PWROK. The system electronics should monitor VR_PWRGD to verify
that it is asserted high prior to the active high assertion of PIIX4E/M
PWROK.
V_CPUPU Module V_CPUPU is 1.5V. The system electronics uses this voltage to power
the PIIX4E/M-to-proces sor interface circuit ry.
V_CLK Module V_CLK is 2.5V. The system electronics uses this voltage to power the
HCLK[0:1] drivers for the processor clock.
Pentium III Processor Mobile Module MMC-2
245304-004 Datasheet 33
2. The Rise Time and Fall Time of VR_ON must be less than or equal to 1.0 µS.
3. VR_ON has its VIL (max ) = +0.4V and VIH (min) = +3.0V.
4. The VR_PWRGD will get asserted to logi c high (3.3V) after V_ CORE is stabilized and V_DC
reaches 7.5V. This signal should not and can not be pulled up by the system electronics.
5. In the power-on process, Intel recommends to raise the higher voltage power plane first
(V_DC), followed by the lower power planes (V_5, V_3), and finally assert VR_ON after
above voltage levels are met on all rails. For powering off, follow the reverse process, i.e.
VR_ON gets deasserted, followed by the lower power planes, and finally the higher power
planes.
6. VR_ON must monotonically rise through its VIL to VIH and fal l t hrough it s V IH to VIL points.
The sign of slope can not change between VIL and VIH in rising and VIH and VIL in falling.
7. VR_ON must provide an instantaneous in-rush current to the mo bile mo dule with the
following values as listed in Table 23.
8. VR_ON Valid-Low Time specifies how long VR_ON needs to be low for a valid off, before
VR_ON can be turned back on again. In going from a valid on to off and then back on, the
following conditions must be met to prevent damage to the OEM syst em or the mobile
module:
VR_ON must be low for 1.0 mS.
The original voltage level req uirements for turn-on must be met before assertio n of
VR_ON (i.e. V_DC 7.5V, V_5 4.5V, and V_3 3.0V ).

5.3.3 Power Planes: Bulk Capacitance Requirements
The placement of sufficient bulk capacitance on the system electronics board is critical to the
operation of the mobile mo dule and to ens ure tha t the sys tem des ign can accommo date fu tu re high
frequency modules. Intel has pro vided the maximum possible bulk capacitance on the mobile
module. However, in order to achieve proper filtering and in-rush current protection, it is
imperative that add itional filtering be provided on the system electronics board. Table 24 details
the bulk capacitance requirements for the system electronics.
Note: Observe the voltage rating requirement for the capacitors on each respective voltage rail.
NOTES:
1. PWROK on I/O board should be active on when VR_PWRGD is active and V_3S is good.
2. CPU_RST from I/O board should be active for a minimum of 6.0 mS after PWROK is active and PLL_STP# and CPU_STP# are inactive.
Note that PLL_STP# is an AND condition of RSMRST# and SUSB# on the PIIX4E/M.
3. This is the 5V power supplied to the MMC-2 connector. This should be the first 5.0-V plane to power up. Stays on du ring suspend.
4. V_DC >= 7.5V, V_5>=4.5V, V_3S>=3.0V.
5. VR_PWRGD is specified active by the module regulator within less than or equal to 6.0-mS maximum after the assertion of VR_ON.

Table 24 details the bulk capacitance requirements for the system electronics.
Table 24. Bulk Capacitance Requirements
NOTES:
1. Placement of above capacitance requirements should be located near the connector.
2. V_CLK filtering should be located next to the system clock synthesizer.
3. The Ripple current specification depends on the V_DC input for the mobile module. See Figure 7 below.
4. If Tantalum* Capacitors are used, a 50% voltage derating practice must be observed. For example, a 5.0-V
rail requires a 10.0-V rated capacitor.
5. In order to reduce ESR, Intel recommends the use of multiple bulk capacitors rather than a single large
capacitor.
6. Intel strongly recommends that system manufacturers pay close attention to capacitor design considerations.
Specifically, the "Capacitance vs. Temperature De-rating Curve," "Capacitance vs. Applied DC Voltage De-
rating Curve," and the "Capacitance vs. Frequency De-rating Curve." Some capacitor dielectrics are
particularly susceptible to these conditions, for example Y5V ceramic capacitors.

A DC Power Supply capable of delivering 7.5V to 21.0V to the mobile module
An Overcurrent Protection circu it providing a mean s to limit the maximum current available to
the system
A Slew Rate Control circuit providing a controlled voltage slew rate at turn on, which provides
protection for compo nents sensitive to fast voltag e rise times
An Undervoltage Lockout circuit to protect against potentially damaging high currents, which
might be encountered if the DC Power Supply voltage is too low
An Overvoltage Lockout circuit providing protection from potentially damaging high DC

5.3.4.3 Overcurrent Protection
The overcurrent protection circuit provides a way to limit current drawn by the mobile module.
Under normal op erating cond itio ns, I_DC s hou ld no t be ex pected to exceed 3.0A at V_ DC = 7 .5V.
To allow for component variations and margining issues, a reasonable I_DC current limit would be
6.0A.

At the other end of the V_DC input range, the current will be somewhat less. At 14.0V, for
example, the corresponding power could be produced with only 3.0A. In this example, a
comparator, U1A, will be used to sense when V_DC is over 14.0V and will shif t the current limit

Figure 10. Current Shift Model
5.3.4.4 Current Limit Shift Point
Comparator U1A should switch when the non-inverting input is equal to the 2.5-V reference on the
inverting input, or when the voltage applied to V_DC is equal to the selected switch point and the
voltage dropped across R36 is 2.5V. This drop should occur when V_DC= 14.0V.
Equation 1.
(The nearest standard 1% value is 9.01 k.)
Comparator U1A will pull its output low when V_DC falls below 14.0V. This drop will effectively
put R33 in parallel with R14.
When power is initial ly applied to the circuit, C18 charges up to 2.5V through R20. This slowly
rising vol tage is applied to the ba se of the cu rrent so urce, Q1. The volt age on R 14 is ap proximat ely
2.5V minus th e base- emi tter drop of abo ut 0.7 V (at 25°C): V(R14) 1.8V. Q1 is a 2N2222A with a
moderate β of about 100. Therefore, the current through R13 is approximately equal to the current
through R14.
The charging of C18, provides a small increment of delay as U1 will no t allow R4 to pull up the
Gate of M3 until Q1 has pulled the non-inverting input of U1 down slig htly.
The voltage developed across R1 is a function of the load.

If the maximum I_DC expected is 3.0A, consider setting the I_DC Current Limit at 6.0A. If the
Current Sense resistor, R1, is selected to be 5.0 m (0.0 05), the maximum voltage developed
across this resistor can be calculated. See below.
Consider now the case where V_DC is above 14.0V.
Equation 3.
I_DC(limit)*Rsense= 3.0A*5E-3= 15.0 mV)
The Offset voltage applied to the inverting input of the comparator, U1B, should then be 15.0 mV.
If R13 is selected to be 100.0, the current can then be calculated as shown in Equation 4 below.
Equation 4.
Ioffse t= 15. 0 mV/10 0= 150.0 µA
Note: For a successful design, the input offset of the comparator must be considered. One option is that
the design offset is at least ten times greater than the device offsets.
The value of R14 can now be calculated as shown in Equation 5 belo w.
Equation 5.
R14= 1.8V/150.0 µA= 12. 0 k
(The nearest 1% value is 12.1K.)
Consider now the case when V_DC drops below 14.0V and the current limits sh if t to 6. 0A.
Equation 6.
I_DC(limit)*Rsense= 6.0A*5E-3= 30.0 mV
The Offset vo ltage applied to the inverting inpu t of the comp arator, U1B, should then be 30 mV. If
R13 is selected to be 100, the current can then be calculated as shown in Equation 7 below.
Equation 7.
Ioffse t= 30. 0 mV/10 0= 300.0 µA
The value of parallel combination of R14 and R33 can now be calculated as shown in Equation 8
below.
Equation 8.
Rcombo= 1.8V/3 00.0 µA= 6.0 k
R14 is a 12.0-K resist or. If R33 is also a 12.0-K resistor, the parallel combination will b e 6.0 K.
In R20, the LM4040-2.5 has a very wide operating current range from 60.0 µA to 15.0 µA. In order
to provide the Current Source Base drive you will need Equation 9.
Equation 9.
Ibase Ic/b= 300.0 µA/100= 3.0 µA
Pentium III Processor Mobile Module MMC-2
245304-004 Datasheet 41
If selected for I (R20), 100 µA would be adequ ate for th e Reference and Curren t Source B ase drive.
Since both of these currents must be satisfied at the low-power supply margin, a V_DC of 7.5V
will be assumed.
Equation 10.
R20 = (V_DC-Vref)/I(R20) = (7.5-2.50)/100.0 µA= 50.0 k
(To allow for component tolerances, 51.0 k is recommended.)
5.3.4.5 Slew Rate Control
The Slew Rate Control regulates the rate that the power supply voltage is appl ied to the system.
Let the Threshold voltage of M1, Vt = -1.0V
Let M1 VGS(sat) = -2.4V, also denoted as Vsat
Let R16 = 100.0 k
Let t _delay = 500.0 µS
Let Ctotal = The sum or the Bulk capacitors + the sum of the module capacitors = 5 X 22.0 µF
+ 2 X 4.7 µF= 119.4 µF
M1 is a low RDS(on) P-C hann el MOSFET such as the Siliconix* Si4435 D Y. When the power
supply voltage is applied and increased to a value that exceeds the Lockout value, (7.5V will be
used in this example), the Undervoltage Lockout circuit, allo ws R4 to pull up the gate of M3 to
start a turn-on sequence. M3 pulls its drain toward ground, forcing current to flow through R2. M1
will not start to source any current until after t_delay , with t_delay defined as shown in Equation 11
and Equation 12 below.
Equation 11.
Equation 12.
The publis hed mi nimu m t hres ho ld of the Si443 5D Y i s a VGS of -1.0 V, i.e. C9 must charge to 1 .0V
before M1 starts to turn on. The delay, t_delay, is the time requ ired to charge C9 to 1.0V.
Assuming a negligible voltage drop across M3 , when M3 is ON, the voltage on the Gate of M1,
VG, with respect to ground, is the voltage developed across R2: VG V(R2). If a minimum steady-
state bias on M1 is -4.5V, this will be the voltage dropped across R16. At the low end of the V_DC
margin, i.e. 7.5V, then V G can be derived from Equation 13 below.
Equation 13.
VG = V_DC+VGS = 7.5V- 4.5V = 3.0V (with respect to ground)

(The nearest standard 1% value is 66.5 k. The example will continue with R2= 66.5 k.)
Rearranging Equation 8 to solve for C9 yields the following result, as shown in Equati on 15.
Equation 15.
Now a value for C9 can be calculated. See Equation 16 below.
Equation 16.
C 9= 0.354 µF
(A close standard value of 0.33 µF will yield a t_delay of 466.0 µS.)
The ramp-up time, t_ramp, is defined as shown in Equation 17 be low.
Equation 17.
If M1 has a VGS(sat) of -2.4V, then see Equation 18 below.
Equation 18.
t_ramp = 948.8 µS
The maximum current during the power-up ramp is shown in Equation 19 below.
Equation 19.
If the total capacitance, Ctotal on the V_DC bus, is 119.4 µF, then see Equation 20 below.
Equation 20.

5.3.4.6 Undervoltage Lockout
The circuit below shows the Undervoltage Lockout portion of the V_DC Supply circuit. This
circuit protects and locks out the applied voltage to the mobile module to prevent an accidental
turn-on at low V_DC supply voltages.
Warning: A low voltage applied to the mobil e module could result in destructiv e current levels.
Figure 11. Undervoltage Lockout
The output of the LM339 comparator is an open-collector and is low when the applied voltage at
V_DC is less than 7.5V, wh ich holds the Gate of M3 low. Consequently, the Slew Rate Controller
is not allowed to turn on. The 2.5-V reference, Vref, voltage is de rived fr om D7 in Figure 9. When
the non-inverting input of the comparator exceeds Vref, 2.5V, the comparator trips and allows its
output to go to a High Z state. The Gate of M3 can then be pulled up by R4, starting the controlled
Power-up Slew.
The model in Figure 12 will be used to calculate the Underv olt age Lockout trip p oint.

VCEsat is the saturation voltage of the comparator output transistor.
The comparator trip point voltage can be calculated with Equat ion 21.
Equation 21.
If power to the mobile module is to be held off until V_DC exceeds 7.5V, Equation 21 can be
rearranged to solve for R18.

A va lue for R1 8 can be det ermined by plugging th ese values into Equation 23.

(4.99 k is a standard 1% resistor value, which would provide lockout below 7.532V.)

5.5 Thermal Sensor Configuration Register
The configuration register of the thermal sensor controls the operating mode (Auto Convert vs.
Standby) of the device. Since the processor temperature varies dynamically during normal
operation, Auto Convert mod e s hou ld be u sed ex clusiv ely to mo nitor pro cessor temp erature. Table
26 shows the format of the configuration register. If the RUN/STOP bit is low, then the thermal
sensor enters Auto Convert mode. If the RUN/STOP bit is s et high , then the thermal sensor
immediately stops converting and enters the Standby mode. The thermal sensor will still perform
temperature conversions in Standby mode when it receives a one-shot command. However, the
result of a one-shot command during Auto Convert mode is not guaranteed. Intel does not
recommend using the one-shot comm and to monitor temp erature when the pro cessor is active, only
Auto Convert mode should be used. The thermal sensor can be configured in various interface
modes for tem peratu r e sampling. Intel recommends interf acing th e thermal sensor using Interrupt
mode. For more detailed inform ation regarding interface methods, please see the Intel Mobile
Module Thermal Diode Temperature Sensor Application Note available through your Intel Field
Representative.

6.1.3 Height Restrictions
Figure 20 shows the mechanical stack-up and the associated component clearance requirements.
This is the module keep-out zone and should not be entered. The system manufacturer establishes
board-to-board clearance between the module and the system electronics by selecting one of three
mating connectors available in heights of approximately 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm. The three sizes
provide flexibility in choos in g the sy stem electronics components between the two boards.
Information on these connectors can be obtained from your Intel sales representative.

6.2 Thermal Transfer Plate
The thermal transfer plates (TTP) provide heat dissipation on the mob ile Pentium III processor and
the 82443BX. The TTP ma y vary on different generations of Intel mobile module s. The TT P
provides the thermal attach point, where a system manufacturer can transfer heat through the
notebook system using a heat pipe, a heat spreader plate, or a thermal solution. Attachment
dimensions for the thermal interface block to the TTP are provided in Figure 21, Figure 22, and
Figure 23. The TTP on the mobile module is designed to be a high efficiency spreader. To fully
take advantage of the mobile module therm al design and optimize the s ystem thermal perf ormance,
the contact area (Ac) needs to be a minimum of 30 mm x 30 mm. While it crucial to maximize the
contact area, it is equ ally impo rtant to en sure tha t the co ntact ar ea an d/or the m obile modu le is fr ee
from warpage in an assembled configuration.
Warning: If warpage occurs, the thermal resistance of the mobile module could be adversely affected.
When attaching a mating b lock to either TTP, Intel recommends that a thermal elastomer be used as
an interface material. This material reduces the thermal resistance. The OEM thermal interface
block should be secured to the CPU TTP with M2 screws using a maximum torque of 1.5 Kg*cm
to 2.0 Kg*cm (equivalent to 0.147 N*m to.197 N*m). The thread length of the M2 screws should

6.3.1 Module Mounting Requirements
Three mounting holes are available for securing the module to the system base or the system
electronics. See Figure 17 for mounting hole locations. These hole locations and board edge
clearances will remain fixed for all Intel mobile modules. All three mounting holes should be used
to ensure long term mechanical reliability and EMI integrity of the system.
The board edge clearance includes a 0.762-m m (0.030-in ches ) wide EMI containment ring arou nd
the perimeter of the mobile module. This ring is on each layer of the PCB and is grounded. The
hole patterns also have a plated surrounding ring to use a metal standoff for EMI shielding
purposes. Standoffs should be used to provide support for the installed mobile module. However,
the warpage of the baseboard can vary and should be calculated into the final dimensions of the
standoffs used. All calculations can be made with the Intel MMC-2 Standoff/Receptacle Height
Spreadsheet. Information on this spreadsheet can be obtained from your local Intel Field
Representative.

8.0 Labeling Information
Intel mobile modules are tracked in two ways. The first is by the product tracking code (P TC). Intel
uses the PTC label to determine the assembly level of the module. Figure 25 shows where the PTC
can be found on the module. The PTC contains 13 characters and provides the following
information.
Example: PML50002001AA
Key: AABCCCDDEEEFFF
Definition:
AA - Processor Module = PM
B- Pentium
III processor mobile module = L
CCC - Speed Identity = 450, 500
DD - Cache Size = 02 (256K)
EEE - Notifiable Design Revision (Start at 001)
FF - Notifiable Processor Revision (Start at AA)
Note: For other Intel mobile modules, the second field (B) is defined as:
Pentium II Processor Mobile Module (MMC-1) = D
Pentium II Processor Mobile Module (MMC-2) = E
Pentium II Processor Mobile Module With On-die Cache (MMC-1) = F
Pentium II Processor Mobile Module With On-die Cache (MMC-2) = G
Celeron Processor Mobile Module (MMC-1) = H
Celeron Processor Mobile Module (MMC-2) = I

Figure 25. Product Tracking Code
The second tracking method is by an OEM generated so ftw a re utility. Four strapping resistors
located on module determine its production level. If connected and terminated properly, up to 16
module-revision levels can be determined. An OEM generated software utility can then read these
ID bits w ith CPU IDs and st epping IDs t o provi de a comple te module manufactur ing revis ion level .
For current PTC and module ID bit information, please refer to the latest Intel mobile module
product change notification (PCN) letter, which can be obtained from your local Intel Field
Representative.
