Motherboard Description
scatter and gather master mode operation allows high performance
transfers between PCI and IDE devices. In addition to standard PIO and
DMA mode operation, the VT8233 also supports the UltraDMA-33
standard to allow reliable data transfer rates up to 33 MB/sec throughput.
The VT8233 also supports the UltraDMA-66 / 100 standard. The IDE
controller is SFF-8038i v1.0 and Microsoft Windows-family compliant.
c) Universal Serial Bus controller that is USB v1.1 and Universal HCI v1.1
compliant. The VT8233 includes the root hub with six function ports with
integrated physical layer transceivers. The USB controller allows hot plug
and play and isochronous peripherals to be inserted into the system with
universal driver support. The controller also implements legacy keyboard
and mouse support so that legacy software can run transparently in a
non-USB-aware operating system environment.
d) Keyboard controller with PS2 mouse support.
e) Real Time Clock with 256 byte extended CMOS. In addition to the
standard ISA RTC functionality, the integrated RTC also includes the date
alarm, century field, and other enhancements for compatibility with the
ACPI standard.
f) Notebook-class power management functionality compliant with ACPI
and legacy APM requirements. Multiple sleep states (power-on suspend,
suspend-to-DRAM, and suspend-to-Disk) are supported with hardware
automatic wake-up. Additional functionality includes event monitoring,
CPU clock throttling and stop (Intel processor protocol), PCI bus clock
stop control, modular power, clock and leakage control, hardware-based
and software-based event handling, general purpose I/O, chip select and
external SMI.
g) Full System Management Bus (SMBus) interface.
h) Integrated bus-mastering dual full-duplex direct-sound
AC97-link-compatible sound system.
i) Plug and Play controller that allows complete steerability of all PCI
