WARNING
Stressing the device beyond the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage. These are stress ratings only. Operation beyond the "Operating Conditions" is not recommended and extended exposure beyond the "Operating Conditions" may affect reliability.DescriptionThe 82378ZB System I/O (SIO) and 82379AB System I/O APIC (SIO.A) components are PCI-to-ISA Bus Bridge devices. These devices integrate many of the common I/O functions found in today's ISA-based PC systemsaea seven channel DMA controller, two 82C59 interrupt controllers, an 8254 timer/counter, a BIOS timer, Intel SMM power management support, and logic for NMI generation. In addition, the SIO and SIO.A each support a total of six PCI Masters, and four PCI Interrupts. Decode is provided for peripheral devices such as the flash BIOS, real time clock, keyboard/mouse controller, floppy controller, two serial ports, one parallel port, and IDE hard disk drive.
For both the SIO and SIO.A, each DMA channel supports compatibility transfers. The SIO also supports types A, B, and F transfers and scatter/gather. In addtion to the standard ISA-compatible interrupt controller that is in both the SIO and SIO.A, the SIO.A contains an Advance Programmable Interrupt Controller (IO APIC) for use in multi-processing systems.
This document describes both the 82378ZB (SIO) and 82379AB (SIO.A) components. Unshaded areas describe the 82378ZB. Shaded areas, like this one, describe differences between the 82379AB and 82378ZB.
