AMD-K5 Processor Data Sheet 18522F/0—Jan1997
PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
9 Electrical Data
9.1 Power and Grounding
Power Connections The AMD-K5 processor includes 53 V
CC
and 53 V
SS
pins for
clean, on-chip power distribution at high frequencies. Power
and ground connections must be made to all external V
CC
and
GND pins, respectively. All V
CC
pins must be connected to the
circuit board V
CC
plane, and all V
SS
pins must be connected to
the circuit board GND plane. Table 14 on page 58 provides the
DC characteristics of the processor.
Connection
Recommendations
■ Emphasize decoupling capacitance near the AMD-K5
processor
■ Driving address and data buses into large capacitive loads
at high frequencies can cause transient power surges
■ Low inductance capacitors and circuit paths provide the
best performance at high frequencies
■ Inductance can be reduced by shortening circuit board
paths as much as possible
■ Capacitors specifically for PGA packaging are commer-
cially available
■ NC pins shall be unconnected
■ Always connect unused inputs to an appropriate signal
level
■ Unused active Low inputs should be connected to V
CC
through a pull-up resistor
■ Pull-up resistors of 20 kΩ should be used
■ Unused active High inputs should be connected to GND
