5. Devices
5.0 – CPU
Intel P4 is designed in the D1 system.
5.1 - NORTH BRIDGE (SIS650M)
5.1.1 – Function & Feature
The device is one of key part of system. It provides the interface control of Processor, Memory, AGP
and SiS962. In power management, it is in compliance with ACPI2.0 and APM1.2.
In memory system, it supports 266MHz DDR devices and 64Mb, 128Mb, 256Mb and 512Mb
technologies for x16 devices and x8 devices. By using 512Mb technology, the largest memory
capacity possible is 1.0GB
In AGP interface, it uses the internal VGA Controller.
In SiS962 interface, it supports high throughput SiS MuTIOL connection to SiS962 MuTIOL Media
I/O.
a. Bi-directional 16 bit data bus.
b. Perform 533MB/s bandwidth in 66MHz x 4 mode
c. Distributed arbitration strategy with enhanced mode of contiguous DMA data streaming
d. Packet based, pipelining, and split transaction scheme
5.1.2 – PCI Address
The device is internally located on PCI address 0x80000000.(Bus 0, Device 0, Function 0). Please
check Table 3-1
for reference.
5.1.3 – Sub-system & Sub-vendor ID
Subsystem ID : 0x8081
SubVendor ID : 0x1043
5.1.4 – DRAM TYPE Registers
The DRAM Type Register defines the type (NBA*NRA*NCA) and side of each pair of DRAM rows.
The offset of these registers are 60h~62h. The following is the mapping of the registers.
