2-4Service Guide 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...

2-6Service Guide 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...

2-8Service Guide 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...

Major Chips Description 2-9 Table 2-2 82371AB Pin Descriptions NameTypeDescription 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...

2-10Service Guide Table 2-2 82371AB Pin Descriptions NameTypeDescription 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...

Major Chips Description 2-11 Table 2-2 82371AB Pin Descriptions NameTypeDescription TRDY# I/O 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...

2-12Service Guide Table 2-2 82371AB Pin Descriptions NameTypeDescription 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. During Reset: High-Z After Reset: High During POS: High LA[23:17]/ GPO[7:1]I/O ISA LA[23:17]. LA[23:17] address lines allow accesses to physical memory on the ISA Bus up to 16 Mbytes. LA[23:17]...

Major Chips Description 2-13 Table 2-2 82371AB Pin Descriptions NameTypeDescription SA[19:0] I/O SYSTEM ADDRESS[19:0]. These bi-directional address lines define the selection with the granularity of 1 byte within the 1-Megabyte section of memory 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...
