    APPENDICES Appendix-3 Technical Terms AC’97 AC’97 is a device designed to include a digital processor for modem and an audio CODEC for analog I/O. These two parts are linked together by AC’97 link bus. Putting the digital processor into the main system chipset will reduce the cost of sound/modem onboard solution.
  • Page 96 65EP-T/EP+-T ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface) This is the exension of the EIDE (extended IDE) that enables the interface to support CD-ROM players and tape drives. BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) BIOS is a set of assembly routine/program that resides in EPROM or Flash ROM.
  • Page 97 APPENDICES DIMM (Dual In Line Memory Module) DIMM socket is built with a 168-pin assignment and supports 64-bit data. DIMM can be single or double sided. The golden finger signals on each side of the module are different, and that is why it is called Dual In Line. Almost all DIMMs are made with SDRAM now, which operate at 3.3V.
  • Page 98 65EP-T/EP+-T FC-PGA (Flip Chip-Pin Grid Array) FC means Flip Chip, while FC-PGA is a new package of Intel for Pentium III CPU. It is compatible with SKT370 socket, but requires mainboard to add some signals on socket 370. Flash ROM Flash ROM can be re-programmed by electronic signals.
  • Page 99 APPENDICES PC-1600 or PC-2100 DDR SDRAM PC-1600 DDR SDRAM with a 64-bit data bus doubles the data transfer rate of PC100 SDRAM and hence provides data transfer bandwidth up to 100x64/ 8x2=1600MB/s. PC2100 DDR SDRAM doubles the data transfer rate of PC-133 and hence provides data transfer bandwidth up to 133x64/ 8x2=2100MB/s.
  • Page 100 65EP-T/EP+-T SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) SDRAM is one of the Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) technologies that allow DRAM to use the same clock as the CPU host clock (EDO and FPM are asynchronous and do not have clock signal). SDRAM comes in 64-bit 168-pin DIMM and operates at 3.3V.
  • Page 101 APPENDICES USB (Universal Serial Bus) USB is a 4-pin serial peripheral bus that is capable of cascading low/medium speed peripherals (less than 10Mbit/s) such as keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, printer and modem. VCM (Virtual Channel Memory) NEC’s Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) is a new DRAM core architecture that dramatically improves the memory system’s ability to service multimedia requirements.
