Core Logic Module6

The Core Logic module is an enhanced PCI-to-Sub-ISA bridge (South Bridge), this module is ACPI-compliant, and provides AT/Sub-ISA functionality. The Core Logic module also contains state-of-the-art power management. Two bus mastering IDE controllers are included for support of up to four ATA-compliant devices. A three-port Universal Serial Bus (USB) provides high speed, and Plug & Play expan- sion for a variety of new consumer peripheral devices.

6.1Feature List

Internal Fast-PCI Interface

The internal Fast-PCI bus interface is used to connect the Core Logic and GX1 modules of the SC1200/SC1201 pro- cessor. This interface includes the following features:

PCI protocol for transfers on Fast-PCI bus

Up to 66 MHz operation

Subtractive decode handled internally in conjunction with external PCI bus

Bus Mastering IDE Controllers

Two controllers with support for up to four IDE devices

Independent timing for master and slave devices for both channels

PCI bus master burst reads and writes

Multiword DMA support

Programmed I/O (PIO) Modes 0-4 support

Universal Serial Bus

Three independent USB interfaces

Open Host Controller Interface (OpenHCI) specification compliant

PCI Interface

PCI 2.1 compliant

PCI master for AC97 and IDE controllers

Subtractive agent for unclaimed transactions

Supports PCI initiator-to-Sub-ISA cycle translations

PCI-to-Sub-ISA interrupt mapper/translator

External PCI bus

Devices internal to the Core Logic module (IDE, Audio, USB, Sub-ISA, etc.) cannot master to memory through the external PCI bus.

Legacy DMA is not supported to memory located on external PCI bus.

The Core Logic module does not transfer subtrac- tively decoded I/O cycles originating from the external PCI bus.

AT Compatibility

8259A-equivalent interrupt controllers

8254-equivalent timer

8237-equivalent DMA controllers

Port A, B, and NMI logic

Positive decode for AT I/O space

Sub-ISA Interface

Boot ROM chip select

Extended ROM to 16 MB

Two general-purpose chip selects

NAND Flash support

M-Systems DiskOnChip support

Is not the subtractive decode agent

Power Management

Automated CPU 0V Suspend modulation

I/O Traps and Idle Timers for peripheral power manage- ment

Software SMI and Stop Clock for APM support

ACPI-compliant timer and register set

Up to 22 GPIOs of which all can generate Power Management Interrupts (PMEs)

Three Dedicated GPWIOs powered by VSBL and VSB

Shadow register support for legacy controllers for 0V Suspend
