5.2Module Architecture

The SIO module comprises a collection of generic func- tional blocks. Each functional block is described in detail later in this chapter. The beginning of this chapter describes the SIO structure and provides all device specific information, including special implementation of generic blocks, system interface and device configuration.

The SIO module is based on eight logical devices, the host interface, and a central configuration register set, all built around a central, internal 8-bit bus.

The host interface serves as a bridge between the external ISA interface and the internal bus. It supports 8-bit I/O read, 8-bit I/O write and 8-bit DMA transactions, as defined in Personal Computer Bus Standard P996.

The central configuration register set supports ACPI com- pliant PnP configuration. The configuration registers are structured as a subset of the Plug and Play Standard Reg- isters, defined in Appendix A of the Plug and Play ISA Specification Version 1.0a by Intel and Microsoft®. All sys- tem resources assigned to the functional blocks (I/O address space, DMA channels and IRQ lines) are config- ured in, and managed by, the central configuration register set. In addition, some function-specific parameters are con- figurable through this unit and distributed to the functional blocks through special control signals.

The source of the device internal clocks is the 48 MHz clock signal or through the 32.768 KHz crystal with an internal frequency multiplier. RTC operates on a 32 KHz clock.
