Pin
Description
LPC_AD[0:3]
B4-B7 LPC Mode: LPC multiplexed address, command and data bus
LPC_FRAME#
B3
LPC Mode: LPC Frame indicates the start of a LPC cycle.
LPC_CLK
B10
LPC Mode: LPC clock output, 33MHz
LPC_DRQ[0:1]# B8
LPC Mode: LPC serial DMA request
LPC_SERIRQ
A50
LPC Mode: LPC serial interrupt
SUS_STAT#
B18
LPC Mode: Indicates imminent suspend operation. It is used to notify LPC
devices that a low power state will be entered soon. LPC devices may need to preserve
memory or isolate outputs during the low power state.
ESPI_EN#
B47
This signal is used by the carrier to indicate the operating mode of the LPC/eSPI bus. If left
1
unconnected on the carrier, LPC mode (default) is selected.
If pulled to GND on the carrier, eSPI mode is selected. This signal is pulled to a logic high on
the module through a resistor. The carrier should only float this line or pull it low.
Note
1.
The conga-TCA7 does not support eSPI mode.
