drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s. It also
provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports
(UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each UART
includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator,
complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. Both
UARTs provide 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, which
support higher speed modems.
The Super I/O supports one PC-compatible printer port (SPP), Bi-directional
Printer Port (BPP) , Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) or Extended Capabilities
Port (ECP).
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Con-
figuration and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI
power management through an SMI or SCI function pin.
It also features
auto power management to reduce power consumption.
The IRQs, DMAs and I/O space resources of the Super I/O can flexibly
adjust to meet ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Ad-
vanced Power Management).
