Chapter 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

IAC-F696 With its rich AGP V1.0 Compliant 2X integrated graphics capabilities, flexible FSB settings,
and support for PC133 DRAM, delivers excellent levels of scalability and performance on a cost­effective, High integrated platform designed for the specific needs of the Automation, DVR, Information
PC, and Internet Appliance market segments.

Low power VIA CPU + VIA Apollo PLE133P = Ultimate Value Combination

IAC-F696 optimizes the performance of the VIA Low power Processor while its integrated AGP 2X
graphics engine delivers rich graphics capabilities for running 2D/3D software and Internet applications.
Its highly scaleable asynchronous bus design also makes it the ideal solution for VIA low power
processors running at 100/133MHz FSB speeds. With an advanced memory controller architecture, the
IAC-F696 supports up to 1.5GB of high-speed PC133 SDRAM. These advanced memory technologies
provide the bandwidth and performance necessary for even the most demanding Internet and 3D
graphics applications. Further integrated CPU & multimedia & connectivity features that help minimize
the cost of building automation and Internet Appliances without sacrificing features and performance
include two Fast Ethernet controllers, integrated AGP 2X graphics, AC’97 audio, Super I/O, and
advanced power management.

In addition, IAC-F696 features two IDE, one FDD port, two COM ports and one multi-mode parallel port
allows for more devices support and more flexibility. Other standard features include one socket for
Compact Flash, four USB headers and one IrDA header. IAC-F696 has also incorporated Watchdog
Timer that allows for monitoring ability to ensure system stability.
