2.4Processor Support

The reference board supports the Intel® Atom™ processor Z530 with 512-KB cache in a 441-pin, FCBGA package. No heatsink is required by this processor during room temperature ambient operation.

2.4.1Processor Voltage Regulators

The reference board uses an onboard Intel® MVP6 single-phase regulator for the processor core supply. The I/O voltage is 1.05 V. See Section 4.5 for VID jumper location and Appendix B for the VID code table.

2.5Subsystem Descriptions

Subsystem features refer to the socket and connector locations on the Crown Beach Board. Socket and connector locations are labeled with a letter-number combination. Refer to the silkscreen labeling on Crown Beach Board for location detail.

2.5.1Intel® SCH Chipset

•Processor interface at 400/533 MHz

•Single channel DDR2 memory interface running at 400/533 MT/s

•Two PCI Express* ports, x1

•Eight USB 2.0 compatible ports

•One ATAPI-6 (UDMA 100MB/s) IDE channel

•Intel® HD Audio

•Three SDIO/MMC interfaces

•One channel 24-bit LVDS

•One channel SDVO

•LPC bus

2.5.2System Memory

•Supports a single DDR2 SO-DIMM socket. SO-DIMMs must be un-buffered and compliant with Raw Cards A or C as defined by JEDEC.

•Supports 400or 533-MHz memory bus frequencies.

Note: SO-DIMM support is only provided for validation purposes. The Intel® Centrino® Atom™ Processor Technology Platform Design Guide provides component implementations for memory down solutions. The DDR2 SODIMM Architecture’s Implementation for Intel® System Controller Hub (SCH) US15W whitepaper provides guidelines for implementing a SO-DIMM solution, although the recommendations are based on simulation only and have not been validated. It is recommended that customers validate their designs.

2.5.3Display

The reference board has two options for displaying video:

•LVDS – location is J5G2

•SDVO – location is J7C2

Note: The customer reference board supports single channel LVDS only. Table 4 is a listing of displays that have been tested with Crown Beach.

NOTE: The protective tape on top of the Crown Beach LVDS connector must be removed prior to installing an LVDS cable.

NOTE: VGA output is not directly supported. Customers can use PCI Express*-based discrete, external 3D graphics cards, or a third-party component available on an ADD2N card using the SDVO interface.

2.5.4PCI Express* Slots

•Two PCI Express* slots x1 for add-in cards.

•The PCI Express* bus complies with the PCI Express* Rev. 1.0a specification.

Crown Beach provides two PCI Express* Mini Card form factor slots. The PCI Express* specification pin-out is followed by Mini Card Slot A only and not by Mini Card Slot B. Mini Card Slot A is enabled by default and to enable Mini Card Slot B, rework needs to be performed. The slots are not to be used with PCI Express* Mini Card-based devices. Mini Card A (J7H1) is designed for use with CM100/CM101 cards from Quanta. Mini Card A can be populated with the Kedron, Echo Peak, or Shirley Peak wireless cards. Mini Card B (J2G1) is designed for use with Wireless WAN cards from Sierra Wireless* and Option*.

2.5.5Soft Audio/Soft Modem

High Definition Soft Audio/Soft Modem functionality is enabled through the Mott Canyon 4 daughter card. No direct connection is provided for Intel® HD Audio on
