4.8.10 6300ESB Power Signal Decoupling
4.8.11 Hub Interface Decoupling
Refer to Section 8.1.6 for details.
4.8.12 FWH Decoupling
A 0.1 µF capacitor shall be placed between the VCC supply pins and the VSS ground pins to
decouple high-frequency noise, which may affect the programmability of the device. Additionally,
a 4.7
µF capacitor should be placed between the V
CC
supply pins and the V
SS
ground pins to
decouple low frequency noise. The capacitors should be placed no further than 390 mils from the
V
CC
supply pins. Note that the value of the low-frequency bulk decoupling capacitor is dependent
on board layout and system power supply design.
4.9 Thermal Design Power
Refer to the Intel

855GME Chipset Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Thermal Design Guide for
Embedded Applications and the Intel
®
6300ESB I/O Controller Hub Thermal and Mechanical
Design Guide for information on thermal design.
