® TM
Intel Celeron /Pentium III(FC-PGA) processor for inexpensive business/
personal desktop markets.
The SiS630E provides a high performance/low cost Desktop solution for the
socket 370 series CPUs based system by integrating a high performance
North Bridge, advanced hardware 2D/3D GUI engine and Super-South
bridge. SiS630E also adopts Share System Memory Architecture which can
flexibly utilize the frame buffer size up to 64MB. The "Super-South Bridge"
in SiS630E integrates all peripheral controllers /accelerators /interfaces.
SiS630E offers AC'97 compliant interface that comprises digital audio engine
with 3D-hardware accelerator, on-chip sample rate converter, and profes-
sional wavetable along with separate modem DMA controller. SiS630E also
provides interface to Low Pin Count (LPC) operating at 33 MHz clock which
is the same as PCI clock on the host, and dual USB host controller with four
USB ports that deliver better connectivity and 2 x 12Mb bandwidth.
The built-in fast PCI IDE controller supports the ATA PIO/DMA, and the
Ultra DMA33/66 function that supports the data transfer rate up to 66 MB/s.
It provides the separate data path for two IDE channels that can eminently
improve the performance under the multi-tasking environment.
