20 Datasheet
Electrical Specifications
Table 2-10 through Table 2-11 list the AC specifications for the Itanium 2 processor’s clock and
SMBus (timing diagrams begin with Figure 2-1). The Itanium 2 processor uses a differential HSTL
clocking scheme with a frequency of 200, 266 or 333 MHz. The SMBus is a subset of the I2C*
interface which supports operation of up to 100 kHz.
