GTL2009
3-bit GTL Front-Side Bus frequency comparator
Rev. 01 — 22 September 2005
Product data sheet
1. General description
The GTL2009 is designed for the Nocona and Dempsey/Blackford dual Intel Xeon
processor platforms to compare the Front-Side Bus (FSB) frequency settings and set the
common FSB frequency at the lowest setting if both processor slots are occupied or the
FSB setting of the occupied processor slot if only one processor is being used. A default
FSB frequency of 100 MHz is initially set upon power-up when V
DD
is greater than 1.5 V.
Magnitude comparisons and frequency multiplexing to compute the common FSB
frequency occurs when the two 3-bit FSB GTL inputs from the chip sets are valid. The
common FSB frequency GTL outputs switch from the default frequency to the computed
frequency when the GTL reference voltage input (VREF) crosses a static 0.6 V internally
generated input comparator reference voltage. The GTL2009 then continually monitors
the FSB frequency and slot occupied inputs for any further changes.
The Nocona and Dempsey/Blackford Xeon processors specify a V
TT
of 1.2 V and 1.1 V,
as well as a nominal V
ref
of 0.76 V and 0.73 V respectively. To allow for future voltage level
changes that may extend V
ref
to 0.63 of V
TT
(minimum of 0.693 V with V
TT
of 1.1 V) the
GTL2009 allows a minimum V
ref
of 0.66 V. Characterization results show that there is little
DC or AC performance variation between these levels.
The GTL2009 is a companion chip to the GTL2006 platform health management
GTL-to-LVTTL translator and the newer GTL2007 that adds an enable function that
disables the error output to the monitoring agent for platforms that monitor the individual
error conditions from each processor.

7.2 Default conditions input
The FSB GTL output data is masked and a specific default value (100 MHz) is inserted
upon power-up when V
DD
is greater than 1.5 V. The FSB GTL output data is unmasked
and valid data is supplied when the VREF input crosses a static 0.6 V internally generated
input comparator reference voltage. For slowly rising GTL V
TT
supply (0.7 V/500
µs),
the
switch-over happens at the 0.6 V threshold. For fast rising GTL V
TT
supply (0.7 V/100 ns),
the switch-over typically occurs between 350 ns to 1.5
µs
after the 0.6 V threshold is
exceeded.
The AO1 and AO2 outputs do not have ‘default conditions’ like those assigned to the GTL
outputs. Instead, these two pins will power-up according to the conditions applied to the
1A1 and 2A1 input pins as shown in
Table 8.
If the slot is occupied, the input is LOW.
Table 8:
AO1 and AO2 power-up conditions
H = HIGH; L = LOW.

It is important to note that the AO1 and AO2 outputs may be valid a little before 1.5 V and
will rise with V
DD
. Valid outputs from the system level perspective will be achieved after
V
DD
is in regulation, V
TT
ramps up, and after the internal propagation delay of the
GTL2009. No firm answer for this can be given since the time it takes for V
DD
to be in
regulation varies from 100 ms to 1000 ms, and the rise time of V
TT
is unknown. The
GTL2009 outputs are valid after the GTL inputs are valid plus 19.6 ns (worst-case
propagation delay of the GTL-to-LVTTL path).
