A flexible socket is one that can use devices from different manufacturers and accommodate the variations that may exist between the parts. This allows purchasing and manufacturing flexibility that can ameliorate supply fluctuations and other issues.
This application note will discuss the issues involved in designing a flexible socket which will accommodate both Intel Smart 5 boot block flash memories and similar devices from Advanced Micro Devices. Although the specific information supplied is for the Intel Smart 5 and AMD 5V-Only product lines, the general concepts can be applied to other Intel products, such as the SmartVoltage boot block, AMD LV-series, or other manufacturer’s products.
