1.7 Super I/O
The Super I/O (NCT6106D) provides high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication
ports (UART), which support serial infrared communication. The UART includes send/receive
FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability, and a
processor interrupt system. The UART provides legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2
Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, supporting
higher speed modems.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management through a SMI
or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption.
