Voltage Identification (VID)
The reference voltage or the VID setting is set via the SVID communication bus between the processor and the voltage regulator controller chip. The VID settings are the nominal voltages to be delivered to the processor's lands.
The processor uses voltage identification signals to support automatic selection of a power supply voltage. If the processor socket is empty (SKTOCC_N high), the voltage regulation circuit cannot supply the voltage that is requested and the voltage regulator must disable itself or not power on. VOUT_Max Register(30h) is recommended to be user programmable. CPU respects the Voltage value programmed in the VOUT_Max Register and does not issue any SetVID command above this defined value.
