AMD's products are not designed, intended, authorized or warranted for use as components in systems intended for surgical implant into the body, or in other applications intended to support or sustain life, or in any other application in which the failure of AMD's product could create a situation where personal injury, death, or severe property or environmental damage may occur.
For optimal system and graphics performance, the RS780E supports a high speed HyperTransport™ interface to the AMD processor, running at a data rate of up to 4.4GT/s and supporting both HT 1.0 and HT 3.0 protocols. The RS780E is ideally suited for 64-bit operating systems, and supports platform configurations with greater than 4GB of ®...
RS780E Features Software Compatibility The graphics driver for the RS780E is fully compatible with all other Radeon class graphics controllers from AMD. A single driver can support multiple graphics configurations across AMD’s product lines, including the Radeon family and the AMD chipset family. In addition, this driver compatibility allows the RS780E to benefit immediately from AMD's ®...
RS780E Features * Note: Includes dedicated and shared memory. The amount of HyperMemory available is determined by various factors. For details, please consult your AMD CSS representative. ® 1.2.4 PCI Express Interface • Supports PCI-E Gen2 (version 2.0). • Optimized peer-to-peer and general purpose link performance.
A-Link Express II Interface • One x4 A-Link Express II interface for connection to an AMD Southbridge. The A-Link Express II is a proprietary interface developed by AMD basing on the PCI Express Gen2 version 2.0 technology, with additional Northbridge-Southbridge messaging functionalities.
• Supports industry standard EIA-861B video modes including 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p (for a full list of currently supported modes, contact you AMD CSS representative). Maximum resolutions supported by various modes are: • Single-link DVI: 1600x1200 @60Hz with standard timings, and 1920x1200 @60Hz with reduced blanking timings.
• Supports PowerExpress™ and PowerPlay™ (enhanced with the PowerShift™ feature). • Supports dynamic lane reduction for the PCI-E graphics interface when coupled with an AMD-based graphics device, adjusting lane width according to required bandwidth. 1.2.16 PC Design Guide Compliance The RS780E complies with all relevant Windows Logo Program (WLP) requirements from Microsoft for WHQL certification.
Drivers meet Microsoft's rigorous WHQL criteria and are suitable for systems with the "Designed for Windows" logos. • Comprehensive OS and API support. • Hot-key support (Windows ACPI 2.0 or AMD Event Handler Utility where appropriate). • Extensive power management support. • Rotation mode support in software.

The RS780E’s LVTM (LVDS/TMDS) interface supports either an LVDS or a TMDS output. A custom video BIOS from AMD will configure the LVTM interface to drive out either LVDS or a TMDS signals as desired. A custom video BIOS and proper signal routing from the LVTM interface to a connector are the only requirements for the RS780E to support either an LVDS or a TMDS output on the LVTM interface.
VGA Signals Figure 2-9 Pins for Analog Output on the DVI-I Connector For the DVI output portion of the DVI-I connector, AMD recommends using the RS780E’s LVTM interface to provide the DVI output and routing these digital signals (see section 2.3, “LVTM (LVDS/TMDS) Interface‚’ on page 2-6 ) to the appropriate inputs on the DVI-I connector.
These balls are only for maintaining pin-compatibility with the VDDLT33 Other – – – RS740-series IGPs AMD chipsets. They can either be connected to a 3.3V rail or left unconnected on RS780E systems. 3.13 Power Pins Table 3-15 Power Pins Pin Name...
C™ serial EEPROM (for debug purpose only; contact your AMD CSS representative for details). • Setting through an external debug port, if implemented (contact your AMD CSS representative for details). All of the straps listed in Table 3-17 are defined active low. To select “1”, the strap pins must be pulled up to VDD33 through resistors.
Duty Cycle Notes: More details are available in AMD HyperTransport 3.0 Reference Clock Specification and AMD Family 10h Processor Reference Clock Parameters, order # 34864. 1 Single-ended measurement at crossing point. Value is maximum-minimum over all time. DC value of common mode is not important due to blocking cap.
Depending on the board layout of DQS and DQ signals, it may be necessary to have different delays for each DQS signal. Layouts of the DQS and DQ signals should follow the rules given in the AMD RS740/RS780-Series IGP Motherboard Design Guide, order# 42336 .
AMD’s reference heat sink solution for the RS780E. Refer to Chapter 6 in the Thermal Design and Analysis Guidelines for the RS780 Product Family, order# 44638, for heatsink and thermal design guidelines.
(or eight) pads at each corner of the ASIC package, the size of the openings should not exceed 400µm (see Figure 5-3 below). This recommendation is based on AMD’s sample land pattern design for the RS780E, which is available from your AMD CSS representative.
