PROCPWRGD

Processor Power Good: The processor requires this input signal to be a clean indication that the VCC1P05V_​PROC and VDD2 power supplies are stable and within specifications. This requirement applies regardless of the S-state of the processor. 'Clean' implies that the signal will remain low (capable of sinking leakage current), without glitches, from the time that the power supplies are turned on until they come within specification. The signal should then transition monotonically to a high state.

VCCST_​PWRGD

VCCST Power Good: The processor requires this input signal to be a clean indication that the VCC1P05_​PROC and VDD2 power supplies are stable and within specifications. This signal should have a valid level during both S0 and S3 power states. 'Clean' implies that the signal will remain low (capable of sinking leakage current), without glitches, from the time that the power supplies are turned on until they come within specification. The signal then transition monotonically to a high state.

VCCST_​PWRGD_​SX

VCCST_​PWRGD_​SX: the processor required this input signal to be a clean indicator that there is a Sx state, the net will be dropped in Sx, the signal will support IO during.

SKTOCC#

Socket Occupied: Pulled down directly (0 Ohms) on the processor package to the ground. There is no connection to the processor silicon for this signal. System board designers may use this signal to determine if the processor is present.
