Overshoot/Undershoot Voltage
The PC7410 provides several I/O voltages to support both compatibility with existing systems and migra-
tion to future systems. The PC7410 “core” voltage must always be provided at nominal voltage (see
Table 6-3 on page 11 for actual recommended core voltage). Voltage to the L2 I/Os and processor inter-
face I/Os are provided through separate sets of supply pins and may be provided at the voltages shown
in Table 6-2. The input voltage threshold for each bus is selected by sampling the state of the voltage
select pins at the negation of the signal HRESET. The output voltage will swing from GND to the maxi-
mum voltage applied to the OV
DD or L2OVDD power pins.
Notes:
1. Caution: The input threshold selection must agree with the OVDD/L2OVDD voltages supplied.
2. To select the 2.5V threshold option, L2VSEL/BVSEL should be tied to HRESET so that the two signals
change state together. This is the preferred method for selecting this mode operation.
3. To overcome the internal pull-up resistance, a pull-down resistance less than 250
Ω should be used.
4. Default voltage setting if left unconnected (internal pulled-up). Parts Rev 1.4 and later only. Previous
revisions do not support 3.3V OV
DD, the default voltage setting if left unconnected is 2.5V.
5. Parts Rev 1.4 and later only. Previous revisions do not support 3.3V OVDD, having BVSEL = 1 selects
the 2.5V threshold.
6. Parts Rev 1.4 and later only. Previous revisions do not support BVSEL = HRESET.
7. NSpec does not support the default OVDD setting of 3.3V. The BVSEL input must be tie either low or
HRESET.
