Introduction EP-3C1A

Page 1-2

System Overview

The EP-3C1A is designed with Intel®820 chipset. The Intel®820 chipset includes

MCH (FW82820), ICH (FW82801) and FWH (N82802AB) three chips. The

Intel®820 chipset is the third generation desktop chipset designed for Intels FC-

PGA package architecture processor and the first chipset to support the 4X

capability of the AGP 2.0 Interface Specification. The MTH (82805AA) provides

the capability to support 100MHz SDRAMs on DIMMs socket. A new chipset

component interconnect, the hub interface, is designed into the Intel®820 chipset

to provide more efficient communication between chipset components.

Support of AGP 4X, 100MHz SDRAM and the hub interface provides a balanced

system architecture for the Pentium®III or later socket 370 architecture proces-

sor minimizing bottlenecks and increasing system performance. By increasing

memory bandwidth to 1.6GB/s through the use of AGP 4X, the Intel®820 chipset

will deliver the data throughput necessary to take advantage of the high perfor-

mance provided by the powerful Pentium®III or later socket 370 architecture

processor.

The Intel®820 chipset architecture removes the requirement for the ISA expan-

sion bus that was traditionally integrated into the I/O subsystem of Intel chipsets.

This removes many of the conflicts experienced when installing hardware and

drivers into legacy ISA systems. The elimination of ISA will provide true plug-and

play for the Intel®820 platform.

Intel®820 chipset contains four core components: the Memory Controller Hub

(MCH), Memory Translator Hub (MTH), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH) and the

Firmware Hub (FWH). The MCH integrates the 133MHz, Pentium®II/III proces-

sor bus controller, AGP 2.0 controller, 100MHz SDRAM controller and a high-

speed hub interface for communication with the ICH. The ICH integrates an

UltraATA/66 controller, USB host controller, LPC interface controller, FWH

interface controller, PCI interface controller, and a hub interface for communica-

tion with the MCH. The Intel®820 chipset will provide the data buffering and

interface arbitration required to ensure that system interfaces operate efficiently

and provide the system bandwidth necessary to obtain peak performance the

Pentium®III or later socket 370 architecture.

Chipset Components

The Intel®820 chipset consists of the Memory Controller Hub (MCH), Memory

Translator Hub (MTH), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH) and the Firmware Hub (FWH).

wMemory Controller Hub (MCH)

The MCH provides the interconnect between the Direct RambusTM Channel and

the system logic. It integrates:

- Support for single Socket 370 processor with 100MHz or 133MHz System

Bus.

- 100MHz SDRAM interface supporting 768MB of SDRAM.

- 4X, 1.5V AGP interface (3.3V 1X, 2X and 1.5V 1X, 2X devices also

supported).

- Downstream hub link for access to the ICH.

wMemory Translator Hub (MTH)

The MTH provides the capability to support SDRAM memory on a Direct

RambusTM Channel.

- Support 100MHz SDRAMs on DIMMs

- 64Mbit and 128Mbit SDRAM technologies

- X4, X8 and X16 SDRAM components

- X4 Registered DIMMs

wI/O Controller Hub (ICH)

The I/O controller Hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of

the system. Additionally, it integrates may I/O functions. The ICH integrates:

- Upstream hub link for access to the MCH

- 2 Channel Ultra ATA/66 Bus Master IDE controller

- USB controller

- SMBus controller

Introduction EP-3C1A

- FWH interface

- LPC interface

- PCI 2.2 interface

- Integrated System Management Controller

wFirmware Hub (FWH)

The FWH component is a key element to enabling a new security and manage-

ability infrastructure for the PC platform. The device operates under the FWH

interface and protocol. The hardware features of this device include a unique a

Random Number Generator (RNG), register-based locking, and hardware-

based locking.
