NOTES:
1. The exact capacitor value needs to be based on what the crystal maker recommends.
(Typical values for C2 and C3 are 18 pF.)
2. V
CCRTC
: Power for RTC Well.
3. RTCX2: Feedback for the external crystal.
4. RTCX1: Input to the internal oscillator.
5. V
BIAS
: RTC BIAS Voltage – This ball is used to provide a reference voltage, and this DC voltage sets a current,
which is mirrored throughout the oscillator and buffer circuitry.
Note: Even if the ICH3-M internal RTC is not used, it is still necessary to supply clock inputs to X1 and X2 of
the ICH3-M because other signals are gated off that clock in suspend modes. However, in this case, the
frequency (32.768 kHz) of the clock inputs is not critical; a lower-cost crystal can be used or a single
clock input can be driven into X1 with X2 left as no connect; Figure 61 illustrates this.
This is not a
validated configuration with ICH3-M.
