The GMCH system memory interface supports a thermal throttling scheme to selectively throttle
reads and/or writes. Throttling can be triggered either by the on-die thermal sensor, or by preset
write bandwidth limits. Read throttle can also be triggered by an external input pin. The memory
controller logic supports aggressive Dynamic Row Power Down features to help reduce power and
supports Address and Control line tri-stating when DDR SDRAM is in an active power down or in
self refresh state.

22D15343-003
The GMCH system memory architecture is optimized to maintain open pages (up to 16-KB page
size) across multiple rows. As a result, up to 16 pages across four rows is supported. To
complement this, the GMCH will tend to keep pages open within rows, or will only close a single
bank on a page miss. The GMCH supports only four bank memory technologies.
2.4Graphics Features
The GMCH IGD provides a highly integrated graphics accelerator delivering high performance
2D, 3D, and video capabilities. With its interfaces to UMA using a DVMT configuration, an analog
display, and two digital display ports, the GMCH can provide a complete graphics solution.
The GMCH also provides 2D hardware acceleration for block transfers of data (BLTs). The BLT
engine provides the ability to copy a source block of data to a destination and perform raster
operations (for example, ROP1, ROP2, and ROP3) on the data using a pattern, and/or another
destination. Performing these common tasks in hardware reduces CPU load, and thus improves
performance.
High bandwidth access to data is provided through the system memory interface. The GMCH uses
Tiling architecture to increase system memory efficiency and thus maximize effective rendering
bandwidth. The Intel

2.5Display Features
The Intel® 82854 GMCH has three display ports: one analog and two digital. With these interfaces,
the GMCH can provide support for a progressive scan analog monitor and two DVO ports. The
native graphic mode is able to deliver up to two streams of data via the two DVO ports.
2.5.1GMCH Analog Display Port
The Intel® 82854 GMCH has an integrated 350-MHz, 24-bit RAMDAC that can directly drive a
progressive scan analog monitor pixel resolution up to 1600x1200 at 85-Hz refresh and up to
2048x1536 at 75-Hz refresh. In the native graphic mode, the Analog display port can be driven by
Pipe A or Pipe B.
2.5.2GMCH Integrated DVO Ports
The Intel® 82854 GMCH provides a digital display channel that is capable of driving a pixel clock
up to 165 MHz.
The GMCH supports three ARIB planes of graphics: Still Picture Plane, Text and Graphic Plane,
and Superimpose Text Plane at a frame rate of 10 fps. A minimum of two displays are supported.
The ARIB plane resolutions supported can be found in Figure 8.
In native graphics mode, the GMCH supports a single display up to 60 fps real time with maximum
resolution of 720 x 480 pixels.
A proprietary interconnect connects the GMCH to the ICH4-M. All communication between the
GMCH and the ICH4-M occurs over the Hub interface 1.5. The Hub interface runs at 66 MHz
(266-MB/s).
2.7Address Decode Policies
Host initiated I/O cycles are positively decoded to the GMCH configuration space and
subtractively decoded to the Hub interface. Host initiated system memory cycles are positively
decoded to DDR SDRAM and are again subtractively decoded to the Hub interface, if less than
4 GB. System memory accesses from the Hub interface to DDR SDRAM will be snooped on
the FSB.
24D15343-003
2.8GMCH Clocking
The GMCH has the following clock input/output pins:
• 400-MHz, spread spectrum, low voltage differential BCLK, BCLK# for front side bus (FSB)
• 66-MHz, 3.3-V GCLKIN for Hub interface buffers
• Six pairs of differential output clocks (SCK[5:0], SCK[5:0]#), 200/266 MHz, 2.5 V for system
memory interface
• 48-MHz, non-Spread Spectrum, 3.3-V DREFCLK for the Display Frequency Synthesis
• 8-MHz or 66-MHz, Spread Spectrum, 3.3-V DREFSSCLK for the Display Frequency
Synthesis
• Up to 148.5 MHz, 1.5-V DVOBCCLKINT for TV-Out mode
• DPMS clock for S1-M
Clock Synthesizer chips are responsible for generating the system host clocks, GMCH display
clocks, Hub interface clocks, PCI clocks, SIO clocks, and FWH clocks. The host target speed is
400 MHz. The GMCH does not require any relationship between the BCLK Host clock and the
66-MHz clock generated for the Hub interface; they are asynchronous to each other. The Hub
interface runs at a constant 66-MHz base frequency . Table 4 indicates the frequency ratios between
the various interfaces that the GMCH supports.
The GMCH supports both the legacy Intel 8259 Programmable Interrupt delivery mechanism and
the Intel Celeron M processor FSB interrupt delivery mechanism. The serial APIC Interrupt
mechanism is not supported.
The Intel 8259 Interrupt delivery mechanism support consists of flushing in bound Hub interface
write buffers when an Interrupt Acknowledge cycle is forwarded from the system bus to the Hub
interface.
PCI MSI interrupts are generated as memory writes. The GMCH decodes upstream memory writes
to the range 0FEE0_0000h - 0FEEF_FFFFh from the Hub interface as message based interrupts.
The GMCH forwards the memory writes along with the associated write data to the system bus as
an Interrupt Message transaction. Since this address does not decode as part of main system
memory, the write cycle and the write data do not get forwarded to system memory via the write
buffer . The GMCH provides the response and HTRDY# for all Interrupt Message cycles including
the ones originating from the GMCH. The GMCH also supports interrupt redirection for upstream
interrupt memory writes.
For message based interrupts, system write buffer coherency is maintained by relying on strict
ordering of memory writes. The GMCH ensures that all memory writes received from a given
interface prior to an interrupt message memory write are delivered to the system bus for snooping
in the same order that they occur on the given interface.

AGTL+Open Drain AGTL+ interface signal. Refer to the AGTL+ I/O
Specification for complete details. The GMCH integrates AGTL+
termination resistors, and supports VTTLF of 1.05 V ± 5%. AGTL+

Signal Description
Note: System Address and Data Bus signals are logically inverted signals. In other words, the actual
values are inverted from what appears on the system bus. This must be taken into account and the
addresses and data bus signals must be inverted inside the GMCH. All processor control signals
follow normal convention: A 0 indicates an active level (low voltage), and a 1 indicates an active
level (high voltage).

Address Strobe: The system bus owner asserts ADS# to indicate the
first of two cycles of a request phase. The GMCH can assert this signal
for snoop cycles and interrupt messages.
Block Next Request: Used to block the current request bus owner from
issuing a new request. This signal is used to dynamically control the CPU
bus pipeline depth.
Bus Priority Request: The GMCH is the only Priority Agent on the
system bus. It asserts this signal to obtain the ownership of the address
bus. This signal has priority over symmetric bus requests and will cause
the current symmetric owner to stop issuing new transactions unless the
HLOCK# signal was asserted.
Bus Request 0#: The GMCH pulls the processor bus BREQ0# signal
low during CPURST#. The signal is sampled by the processor on the
active-to-inactive transition of CPURST#. The minimum setup time for
this signal is 4 BCLKs. The minimum hold time is 2 clocks and the
maximum hold time is 20 BCLKs. BREQ0# should be tristated after the
hold time requirement has been satisfied.
During regular operation, the GMCH will use BREQ0# as an early
indication for FSB Address and Ctl input buffer and sense amp activation.
CPU Reset: The CPURST# pin is an output from the GMCH. The
GMCH asserts CPURST# while RESET# (PCIRST# from ICH4-M) is
asserted and for approximately 1 ms after RESET# is deasserted. The
CPURST# allows the processor to begin execution in a known state.
Note that the ICH4-M must provide CPU strap set-up and hold-times
around CPURST#. This requires strict synchronization between GMCH,
CPURST# deassertion and ICH4-M driving the straps.
Data Bus Busy: Used by the data bus owner to hold the data bus for
transfers requiring more than one cycle.

indication of C3 and C4 state control to the CPU. Deassertion of this
signal is used as an early indication for C3 and C4 wake up (to active
HPLL). Note that this is a low-voltage CMOS buffer operating on the FSB
VTT power plane.

and ADS#, until the negation of HLOCK# must be atomic; that is, no Hub interface snoopable access to system memory is allowed when HLOCK#
is asserted by the CPU.
Host Request Command: Defines the attributes of the request.
HREQ[4:0]# are transferred at 2x rate. Asserted by the requesting agent
during both halves of the Request Phase. In the first half the signals
define the transaction type to a level of detail that is sufficient to begin a
snoop request. In the second half the signals carry additional information
to define the complete transaction type.
