Intel NetStructure® MPCBL0001 High Performance Single Board Computer

Contents

16-bits wide, 66 MHz clock, 8x data transfer (octal pumped)

Supports 64-bit inbound, 32-bit outbound addressing

The MCH I/O subsystems interface incorporates four hub interfaces. Each Hub interface is a point- to-point connection between the MCH and an I/O bridge/device. The various components of the chipset communicate via these connected hub interfaces:

The first hub link connects the MCH to the ICH3.

The next two hub link interfaces connect the MCH to P64H2 components.

The remaining hub link is unused.

2.2.2.2Intel® 82801CA I/O Controller Hub 3 (U7)

The Intel® 82801CA I/O Controller Hub 3 (IHC3) provides the legacy I/O subsystem and integrates advanced I/O functions. ICH3 features are listed below:

IDE interface controller

Three Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI)

USB host controllers supporting up to 6 ports (MPCBL0001 SBC implementation supports one port on the front panel)

Integrated I/O APIC

SMBus 2.0 controller

LPC interface

Watchdog timer #3 (see “Watchdog Timers (WDTs)” on page 64)

PCI 2.2 bus interface supporting 32bit/33 MHz operation

Connects to MCH through Hub Interface A (HI 1.5)

The MPCBL0001 SBC implements one USB port and does not use the ICH3 PCI connection.

2.2.2.2.1PCI Bus Master IDE Interface (J24)

The ICH3 acts as a PCI based, enhanced IDE, 32-bit interface controller for intelligent disk drives that have disk controller electronics onboard. The SBC includes a single 40-pin (2 x 20) IDE connector (J24) that supports one master or one slave device. See Figure 20, “Component Layout (#1)” on page 100 drawing for its location. The IDE controller provides support for an internally mounted 2.5” hard disk. The IDE controller has the following features:

PIO and DMA transfer modes

Mode 4 timings

Supports Ultra ATA33/66/100 synchronous DMA

Buffering for PCI/IDE burst transfers

Master/slave IDE mode

Support for up to two devices (Master/Slave) via a single primary IDE connector (MPCBL0001 SBC implementation supports one optional physical 2.5" IDE device)

Note: Incorporating an optional IDE Hard Disk drive may significantly impact the Reliability Specifications in Section 6.3.

Note: Performance of the IDE interface may be impacted by the DMA mode and type of DMA transfers
