Design Checklist
standby voltage is not provided by the power supply, then tie PWROK signal on the PIIX4E to
the RSMRST# signal.
•
If an 8.2K ohm resistor divider is used to divide the RSMRST# signal down to a 3V level for
input to the PIIX4E, the rise time of this signal will be approximately 170ns (based on the
input capacitance of the PIIX4E), which is within the maximum 250ns requirement of the
PIIX4E. It is important that if any other components are connected to RSMRST#, the resistor
divider values may need to be adjusted to meet a faster rise time required by the other devices
and increased loading. 3V driving devices, such as an 74LVC14 could also be used as a
replacement for the voltage divider.
•
It is important to prevent glitches on the PWROK signal while the core well is being powered
up or down. To accommodate this, the reference schematics shows a pull-up resistor to 3VSB
in the last stage of this circuitry to keep PWROK from glitching when the core supply goes out
of regulation.
•
All logic and pull-ups in the path of PWRGOOD to the CPU, and PWROK to the PIIX4E
(with the above exception) can be powered from the core supply.
•
The PWROK signal to the chipset is a 3V signal.
•
The core well power valid to PWROK asserted at the chipset is a minimum of 1msec.
•
PWROK to the chipset must be deasserted a minimum of 0ns after RSMRST#.
•
PWRGOOD signal to CPU is driven with an open collector buffer pulled up to 2.5V using a
330 ohm resistor.
•
Below is a simplified diagram of the PWRGOOD and PWROK logic which is connected to the
CPU slots and PIIX4E respectively in a DP system. The circuitry checks for both slots
occupied, both CPU VRMs powered up, and the PS_POK signal from the ATX power supply
connector before asserting PWRGOOD and PWROK to the CPU and PIIX4E. A reset button
override pull-down is also included, causing the PWRGOOD and PWROK signals to get
deasserted when pressed.
•
The following should be considered when implementing a RESET BUTTON for desktop
based systems:
