1-8 CHIPSET
VT8363A
The KT133A chip set consists of the VT8363A system controller (552 pin BGA) and the VT82C686B PCI to ISA bridge (352 pin BGA). The system controller provides superior performance between the CPU, DRAM, AGP bus, and PCI bus with pipelined, burst, and concurrent operation.
The VT8363A support six banks of DRAMs up to 1.5GB. The DRAM controller supports standard Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) and Virtual Channel SDRAM (VC SDRAM), in a flexible mix / match manner. The Synchronous DRAM interface allows zero wait state bursting between the DRAM and the data buffers at 66/100/133 MHz. The six banks of DRAM can be composed of an arbitrary mixture of 1M / 2M / 4M / 8M / 16M / 32MxN DRAMs.
The VT8363A system controller also supports full AGP v2.0 capability for maximum bus utilization including 1x, 2x and 4x mode transfers, SBA (SideBand Addressing), Flush/fence commands, and pipelined grants.
