ECM-3612

The W83977EF also supports Power-loss control, and ensures that the system never fails to detect any Wake-Up event provided by a chipset such as INTEL PIIX4 TM. W83977EF is made to fully comply with Microsoft PC98 Hardware Design Guide. IRQs, DMAs, and I/O space resource are flexible to adjust to meet ISA PnP requirements. Moreover, W83977EF is made to meet the specification of PC98's requirements in power management: ACPI and DPM (Device Power Management).

Another benifit is that W83977EF has the same pin assignment as W83977AF, W83977F, W83977TF, W83977ATF. This makes the design very flexible.

The features are as below:

Plug & Play 1.0A compatible

Supports 12 IRQs, 4 DMA channels, full 16-bit address decoding

Capable of ISA Bus IRQ Sharing

Compliant with Microsoft PC98 Hardware Design Guide

Supports DPM (Device Power Management), ACPI

Reports ACPI status interrupt by SCI# signal issued from any of the 12 IQRs pins or GPIO xx

Programmable configuration settings

Single 24/48 Mhz clock input

1.6.9Compact Flash Interface

A Compact Flash type II connector is connected to the secondary IDE controller. The Compact Flash storage card is IDE compatible. It is an ideal replacement for standard IDE hard drives. The solid-state design offers no seek errors even under extreme shock and vibration conditions. The Compact Flash storage card is extremely small and highly suitable for rugged environments, thus providing an excellent solution for mobile applications with space limitations. It is fully compatible with all consumer applications designed for data storage PC card, PDA, and Smart Cellular Phones, allowing simple use for the end user. The Compact Flash storage card is O/S independent, thus offering an optimal solution for embedded systems operating in non-standard computing environments. The Compact Flash storage card is IDE compatible and offers various capacities.
