Intel® 41210 Serial to Parallel PCI Bridge Design Guide 21
Power Plane Layout
Table 2. 41210 Bridge Decoupling Guidelines
4.2 Split Voltage Planes
There are two 1.5V voltage planes that supply power to the 41210 Bridge:
• VCC15:1.5V ±5% (1.5V core voltage)
• VCCPE:1.5V ±3% (1.5V PCI Express voltage)
The 41210 Bridge core (VCC15), PCI-Express (VCCPE) voltages should be supplied by two
separate voltage regulators or a single regulator. If VCC15 and VCCPE is supplied by a single
voltage regulator the power planes should be split as shown in Figure 10.
