6.2.12.6 LPC Interface Signal Definitions
The LPC specification lists seven required and six optional
signals for supporting the LPC interface. Many of the sig-
nals are the same signals found on the PCI interface and
do not require any new pins on the host. Required signals
must be implemented by both hosts and peripherals.
Optional signals may or may not be present on particular
hosts or peripherals.
The Core Logic module incorporates all the required LPC
interface signals and two of the optional signals:
•Required LPC signals:
— LAD[3:0] - Multiplexed Command, Address and Data.
— LFRAME# - Frame: Indicates start of a new cycle,
termination of broken cycle.
— LRESET# - Reset: This signal is not available. Use
PCI Reset signal PCIRST# instead.
— LCLK - Clock: This signal is not available. Use PCI 33
MHz clock signal PCICLK instead.
•Core Logic module optional LPC signals:
— LDRQ# - Encoded DMA/Bus Master Request: Only
needed by peripheral that need DMA or bus
mastering. Peripherals may not share the LDRQ#
signal.
— SERIRQ - Serialized IRQ: Only needed by periph-
erals that need interrupt support.
— LPCPD# - Power Down: Indicates that the peripheral
should prepare for power to the LPC interface to be
shut down. Optional for the host.
6.2.12.7 Cycle Types
Table 6-12 shows the various types of cycles that are sup-
ported by the Core Logic module.
6.2.12.8 LPC Interface Support
The LPC interface supports all the features described in
the LPC Bus Interface specification, revision 1.0, with the
following exceptions:
•Only 8- or 16-bit DMA, depending on channel number.
Does not support the optional larger transfer sizes.
•Only one external DRQ pin.
