9.1.4 Compensation
Independent hub interface compensation resistors are used by the GMCH and ICH to adjust buffer
characteristics to specific board characteristics. Refer to the Intel
®
815 Chipset Family: 82815
Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) for use with the Universal Socket 370 Datasheet
and the Intel
®
82801AA (ICH) and 82801AB (ICH0) I/O Controller Hub Datasheet for details on
compensation. The resistive compensation (RCOMP) guidelines are as follows:
•
RCOMP: Tie the HLCOMP pin of each component to a 40
Ω
1% or 2% pull-up resistor (to
1.85V) via a 10-mil-wide, 0.5 inch trace (targeted at a nominal trace impedance of 40
Ω
). The
GMCH and ICH each requires their own RCOMP resistor.
