1.7.2 82442FX Data Bus Accelerator (DBX)

The DBX connects to the 64 bit Pentium Pro processor data bus, the 64/72 bit memory data bus
and the 16 bit PMC private data bus. The DBX works in parallel with the PMC to provide a high
performance memory subsystem for Pentium Pro processor based computers. The DBX comes in
a 208 pin PQF package.

1.7.3 82371SB PCI/ISA IDE Xccelerator (PIIX3)

The 82371SB provides the interface between the PCI and ISA buses and integrates a dual channel
fast IDE interface capable of supporting up to four devices. The 82371SB integrates four 8-bit and
three 16-bit DMA channels, three 8-bit timer/counters, two eight-channel interrupt controllers,
†
PCI-to-AT interrupt mapping circuitry, NMI logic, ISA refresh address generation, and PCI/ISA
bus arbitration circuitry together into the same device. The PIIX3 comes in a 208-pin QFP
package and provides the following features:
•
Interface between the PCI bus and ISA bus
