4.10.2 Video Clock

VIA VT82C686B provides input to generate VGA internal slate machine, MCLK, and DCLK. Also provides 32.768 KHz O/P for video RAM refresh.

4.11 PCMCIA Controller

The PCMCIA controller of the notebook is implemented on the motherboard using the O2Micro OZ6933 CardBus Controller. The notebook supports two PCMCIA slots for insertion of two Type I/II cards at the same time.

CARDBUS CONTROLLERS

The OZ6933 is an ACPI and PC98/99 logo certified high performance, dual slot PC Card controller with a synchronous 32-bit bus master/target PCI interface. This PC Card to PCI bridge host controller is compliant with the 2000 PC Card Standard. This standard incorporates the new 32-bit CardBus while retaining the 16-bit PC Card specification as defined by PCMCIA release 2.1. CardBus is intended to support "temporal" add-in functions on PC Cards, such as Memory cards, Network interfaces, FAX/Modems and other wireless communication cards, etc. The high performance and capability of the CardBus interface will enable the new development of many new functions and applications.

The OZ6933 CardBus controller is compliant with the latest ACPI-PCI Bus Power Management interface Specification. It supports all four power states and the PME# function for maximum power savings and ACPI compliance. Additional compliance to On Now Power Management includes D3 cold state support, paving the way for low sleep state power consumption and minimized resume times. To allow host software to reduce power consumption further, the OZ6933 provides a power-down mode in which internal clock distribution and the PC Card socket clocks are stopped. An advanced CMOS process is also used to minimize system power consumption.

The OZ6933 dual PCMCIA socket supports two 3.3V/5V 8/16-bit PC Card R2 cards or 32-bit CardBus R3 cards. The R2 card support is compatible with the Intel 82365SL PCIC controller,
