Enhanced Power Management
PIIX4’s power management functions include enhanced clock control, local and global monitoring
support for 14 individual devices, and various low-power (suspend) states, such as Power-On
Suspend, Suspend-to-DRAM, and Suspend-to-Disk. A hardware-based thermal management circuit
permits software-independent entrance to low-power states. PIIX4 has dedicated pins to monitor
various external events (e.g., interfaces to a notebook lid, suspend/resume button, battery...

The 82371AB PCI ISA IDE Xcelerator (PIIX4) is a multi-function PCI device implementing a PCI-to-
ISA bridge function, a PCI IDE function, a Universal Serial Bus host/hub function, and an Enhanced
Power Management function. As a PCI-to-ISA bridge, PIIX4 integrates many common I/O functions
found in ISA-based PC systems—two 82C37 DMA Controllers, two 82C59 Interrupt Controllers, an
82C54 Timer/Counter, and a Real Time Clock. In addition to compatible transfers, each DMA
channel supports...

2.2.4 Pin Descriptions
This section provides a detailed description of each signal. The signals are arranged in functional
groups according to their associated interface.
The “#” symbol at the end of a signal name indicates that the active, or asserted state occurs when
the signal is at a low voltage level. W hen “#” is not present after the signal name, the signal is
asserted when at the high voltage level.
The terms assertion and negation are used exclusively. This is done to avoid...

PCI BUS INTERFACE
AD[31:0] I/O
PCI ADDRESS/DATA. AD[31:0] is a multiplexed address and data bus. During
the first clock of a transaction, AD[31:0] contain a physical byte address (32 bits).
During subsequent clocks, AD[31:0] contain data.  A PIIX4 Bus transaction
consists of an address phase followed by one or more data phases. Little-endian
byte ordering is used. AD[7:0] define the least significant byte (LSB) and...

IRDY# I/O
INITIATOR READY. IRDY# indicates PIIX4’s ability, as an Initiator, to complete
the current data phase of the transaction. It is used in conjunction with TRDY#. A
data phase is completed on any clock both IRDY# and TRDY# are sampled
asserted. During a write, IRDY# indicates PIIX4 has valid data present on
AD[31:0]. During a read, it indicates PIIX4 is prepared to latch data. IRDY# is an
input to PIIX4 when PIIX4 is the...

TARGET READY. TRDY# indicates PIIX4’s ability to complete the current data
phase of the transaction. TRDY# is used in conjunction with IRDY#. A data phase
is completed when both TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled asserted. During a read,
TRDY# indicates that PIIX4, as a Target, has place valid data on AD[31:0].
During a write, it indicates PIIX4, as a Target is prepared to latch data. TRDY# is
an input to PIIX4 when...

IOW# I/O
I/O WRITE. IOW# is the command to an ISA I/O slave device that the slave may
latch data from the ISA data bus (SD[15:0]). IOW# is an output when PIIX4 owns
the ISA Bus. IOW# is an input when an external ISA master owns the ISA Bus.

defined by the LA[23:17] address lines. The address lines SA[19:17] that are
coincident with LA[19:17] are defined to have the same values as LA[19:17] for
all memory cycles.  For I/O accesses, only SA[15:0] are used, and SA[19:16] are
undefined. SA[19:0] are...
