Apollo PLE133 Core Logic Overview
The Apollo PLE133 chipset is a high performance, cost-effective and energy efficient solution for the implementation of
Integrated 2D / 3D Graphics - PCI - ISA desktop and notebook personal computer systems from 66 MHz to 133 MHz based on 64bit Socket-370 VIA C3 / Intel Celeron and Pentium III processors. The complete solution consists of the VT8601A “System
Media Accelerator” (SMA) north bridge (510 BGA) and either the VT82C596B (324 BGA) or the VT82C686B (352 BGA) PCIto-ISA south bridge. Both south bridges are PC98 / PC99 compliant with integrated UltraDMA-66 / 33 IDE, 4 USB ports, and a
complete power management feature set. The VT82C686B also integrates HW monitoring, Super-I/O functions (floppy disk drive
interface and serial / parallel ports), and AC-97 link supporting digital audio and HSP modem functions.
Apollo PLE133 supports six banks of DRAMs up to 1.5GB. The DRAM controller supports PC133 and PC100 Synchronous
DRAM (SDRAM). The Synchronous DRAM interface allows zero wait state bursting between the DRAM and the data buffers at
100 or 133 MHz. The six banks of DRAM can be composed of an arbitrary mixture of 1M / 2M / 4M / 8M / 16M / 32MxN
DRAMs. The DRAM Controller is optimized to run synchronous with the CPU Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency of 100 or 133
MHz or pseudosynchronous to the Front Side Bus with the SDRAM and FSB frequencies differing by 33 MHz.
Apollo PLE133 also supports full AGP v1.0 capability with the internal 2D/3D Graphics Engine for maximum software
compatibility. An eight level request queue plus a four level post-write request queue with thirty-two and sixteen quadwords of
read and write data FIFO’s respectively are included for deep pipelined and split AGP transactio ns. A single-level GART TLB
with 16 full associative entries and flexible CPU/AGP/PCI remapping control is also provided for operation under protected mode
operating environments. Both Windows-95 VXD and Windows-98 / NT5 miniport drivers are supported.
Apollo PLE133 supports one 32-bit 3.3 / 5V system bus (PCI) that is synchronous to the CPU bus. The chip also contains a builtin AGP bus-to-PCI bus bridge to allow simultaneous con current operations on each bus. Five levels (doublewords) of post write
buffers are included to allow for concurrent CPU and PCI operation. For PCI master operation, forty-eight levels (doublewords)
of post write buffers and sixteen levels (doublewords) of prefetch buffers are included for concurrent PCI bus and DRAM/cache
accesses. The chip also supports enhanced PCI bus commands such as Memory-Read-Line, Memory-Read-Multiple and MemoryWrite-Invalid commands to minimize snoop overhead. In addition, advanced features are supported such as snoop ahead, snoop
filtering, L1 / L2 write-back forward to PCI master, and L1 / L2 write-back merged with PCI post write buffers to minimize PCI
master read latency and DRAM utilization. Delay transaction and read caching mechanisms are also implemented for further
improvement of overall system performance.
For sophisticated notebook implementations, the Apollo PLE133 north bridge provides independent clock stop control for the CPU
/ SDRAM, PCI, and AGP buses and Dynamic CKE control for powering down of the SDRAM. A separate suspend-well plane is
implemented for the SDRAM control signals for Suspend -to-DRAM operation. Coupled with the 324-pin Ball Grid Array VIA
VT82C596B south bridge chip, a complete notebook PC main board can be implemented with no external TTLs.

engine and video accelerator with advanced DVD video and optional TV output capability. It provides a flexible and high
performance solution for graphics and video playback acceleration for various color depth and resolution modes.
The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller supports a video capture port to import captured live MPEG 1 or MPEG 2 video streams,
or DVD decompressed video streams to be overlaid with a graphics stream of mixed color depth displays. In supporting dual live
videos, the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller offers independent dual video windows ready for videoconferencing and with
linear scaling capability.
Integrating the programmable phase lock loop with high speed LUT DACs, the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller is a true
price/performance solution for the modern multimedia based entertainment PC.
Capability Overview
The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller is a fully integrated CRT and TV 64-bit 2D/3D Accelerator. The high performance
graphics engine offers high speed 3D image processing in full compliance and compatibility with IBM® VGA and VESA™
extended VGA. As an integrated controller, it allows unprecedented cost and performance advantages by eliminating the need for
an external frame buffer while at the same time gaining local access to a larger amount of memory. Many functions can now be
eliminated that previously consumed large amounts of bandwidth.
The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller, equipped with a single-cycle 3D GUI Engine, pipelines 3D rendering process
architecture in hardware, providing real-time interactions with solid 3D models in CAD/CAM, 3D modeling, and 3D games. It
supports all key 3D rendering operations, including: Gouraud shading for smooth object surfaces, texture mapping for realistic
object textures, 16-bit hardware Z-buffering for fast 3D depth calculations, and Alpha Blending for transparency effects.
The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller’s highly innovative design, a full 64-bit memory interface with a high performance
graphics engine which can support a RAMDAC™ running up to 230MHz, dramatically improves GUI functions and significantly
promotes overall system operation.
The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller supports a full AGP implementation internally to remain compatible with existing
software and programming models. However, since the engine is integrated it enjoys a higher bandwidth and lower latency than is
possible with discrete solutions. AGP operations can include direct access of the system memory by the 2D/3D engine to provide
increased texture memory.
To meet the requirements of a PC99 graphics adapter in a multimedia PC, the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller supports planar
video format for MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and DVD-video playback. The dual video playback is capable of overlaying windows for
videoconferencing and multimedia displays. Advanced features of the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller, su ch as color space
conversion, video scaling, dual video windows, dual-view display, V ideo Module Interface (VMI), Vertical Blanking Interleave
(VBI), a 24-bit True Color DAC, and triple clock synthesizers allow performance at peak levels.
By using an extended 16-bit VMI port the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller can support DTV resolution . This port can op erate
as either an input for Video Capture or as an output for Video display. The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller is capable of
supporting three simultaneous displays: CRT, Flat Panel Monitor & Video, each with a different “window” or desktop.
The Apollo PLE133 integrated Graphics Controller supports a rich featured flat panel monitor interface that can be used with
external TMDS transmitters to support the latest DVI displays.

High Performance 64-bit 2D GUI
The 64-bit graphics engine of the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller significantly improves graphics performance through
specialized hardware that accelerates the most frequently used GUI operations and matches the high-speed requirements of CPUs.
Functions directly supported in hardware include: BitBLTs, image and text transfer, line draw, short stroke vector draw, rectangle
fills, and clipping. The graphics engine supports 256 Raster Operations (ROPs) for up to 32-bit pack ed pix el graph ic modes. The
ROP3 Processor in the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller is able to perform Boolean functions which allow many additional
operations, including transparency, pattern masking, color expansion alignment, and pattern enhancement. Additionally, the
graphics engine features linear display memory addressing (up to 4GB memory space), accelerated color expansion modes for
graphics text procession, and memory-mapped I/O registers on the graphics engine for faster access time.
Graphic functions are optimized by a 64-bit internal data bus and a four-color hardware cursor/pop-up icon, operating up to a
128x128x2 pixel image, which offloads the CPU. The hardware cursor mechanism can also be used to display patterns stored in
the system memory. This pop-up icon is very useful to display user friendly information instantly through simple hot key
operations. This advanced function combination allows significant performance increases over standard Super VGA designs and
provides outstanding graphics acceleration on GUIs, such as Microsoft
Highly Integrated RAMDAC
TM
& Clock Synthesizer
Windows 98.
The highly integrated design of the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller offers a “no TTL” solution for cost-effective, highperformance multimedia subsystem designs for the PC and compatible notebooks. The 64-bit memory data bus supporting
SDRAM and SGRAM memory provides faster data transfer rates for improved system throughput. The Apollo PLE133 Graphics
Controller has a built-in, high speed RAMDAC
TM
. The RAMDACTM is composed of one 256x24 and one 256x18 color lookup
table and a triple loop frequency synthesizer, providing the read/write timing control for the Frame Buffer Memory and the refresh
of the TV/CRT display.
The integrated frequency synthesizer provides a 125MHz memory clock for high speed DRAM access and a 230MHz video clock
which supports various refresh rates up to 85Hz at 1280x1024.
Full Feature High Performance 3D Engine
The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller is equipped with an advanced Graphics Drawing, Single Cycle 3D Graphics Engine that
performs premium 3D functions at a high level of more than 1M triangles per second. The 3D engine supports Microsoft
Direct3D. The 3D Engine is set up to off-load the CPU from major 3D tasks including slope calculation, sub-pixel positioning,
and Tri-striping. By balancing the 3D pipeline and reducing parameter passing, the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller provides
very high levels of performance. The 3D engine is integrated with a triangle set-up engine that sets up triangles according to
vertex input data and accomplishes various functions for 3D rendering. Gouraud shading provides smooth shading for colors
across surfaces, perspective correction texture mapping to correct texture data based on the perspective, bi-linear texture filtering
for interpolating, alpha blending to compensate colors for the opacity of two colors blended, Z-buffering (16-bit/24-bit), video
texturing to overlay 2D video play-back onto 3D images, fogging to simulate weather effects, palletized texture mapping (1-, 4-, or
8-bit) for memory and bandwidth reduction, and anti-aliasing to reduce or eliminate jaggies resulted from alias rendering. The 3D
engine also works with the APM system, conserving power while 3D operations are suspended.
Revision 1.86, April 22, 2005 -9- System Overview
Apollo PLE133 Data Sheet
Video Processor
Video processor features include: on-chip hardware Color Space Conversion (CSC) for faster data conversion on the fly,
Horizontal/Vertical (H/V) scaling with interpolation, edge recovery algorithm logic, gamma correction, and overlay control with
different color depths from graphics. The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller also includes a fully integrated GUI accelerator,
read cache, and command FIFO that optimize memory bandwidth and maximize graphics performance.
The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller, with an integrated Video Display and a Capture Engine, supports dual apertures on the
PCI bus which enables independent graphic and video data to be transported simultaneously to and from different memory areas
and greatly accelerates the performance of both DirectDraw
provide dual video windows that display different images from different video sources (from the PCI bus and from the capture
port) on the same screen. The video image is stored in off-screen memory and is retrieved by the Video Display Processing block
for video processing. With the help of DirectDraw™ acceleration for sprites, page flipping, double buffering, and color keying,
video processing is performed by utilizing a proprietary edge recovery algorithm for sharper line visibility , de-interlacing, antitearing, multitap horizontal filtering, dithering, and scaling operations with b ilinear interpolation in both horizontal and vertical
directions. Linear scaling permits zoom in/out to any size without any restrictions. In addition, the on-chip hardware Color Space
Conversion (CSC) accelerates conversion for 16 bit YUV pixels into linear true color 32 bit RGB pixels on the fly. The additional
X and Y minifiers are capable of shrinking video images to any linear fractions, which saves bus bandwidth and memory space.
The YUV planar logic of the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller supports a YUV 420 format that can eliminate redundant video
stream decoding procedures. The load of the CPU is reduced while performing software MPEG or software video conferencing.
The color and luminance control provided by the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller offers color compensations to prevent color
distortion for display devices such as a CRT or TV with Gamma correction and hue adjustment control.
The Video Conferencing feature allows remote and local video images to be displayed simultaneously on the same screen.
TM
and DirectVideoTM. The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller can
Video Capture and DVD
The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller has a Video Module Interface (VMI) and advanced hardware interface logic allowing it
to be directly connected to many MPEG and video decoders such as the C-Cube CL450 /480, SGS 3400/3500, Philips 7110/1 and
Brooktree BT819/817/827/829.
The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller, integrated with a DVD video hardware block for motion compensation, gives existing
PCs the ability to play DVD video in MPEG-2 format at high bandwidths with very good video quality.
A new industry standard is being set for transmission of non-video data over a TV broadcast signal during vertical blanking dead
time. This technology is referred to as Intercast. The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller has the ab ility to take the entire video
stream over the video port, sending the visible video stream to the display memory for display in a window, stripping the VBI data
from the stream, and then sending this data to the CPU for processing using PCI Bus Mastering.
Versatile Frame Buffer Interface
The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller features a versatile frame buffer interface aperture into main system memory. Optimized
performance can be achieved with the single cycle memory bus interface using programmable DRAM timing. The display queue
has been increased to reduce the frequency of memory bus requests, optimizing memory bus efficiency for the graphic controller.
With the support of the internal AGP aperture, the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller has access to system memory through the
GART. In the execute mode, the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller is able to use both the dedicated graphics portion and the
general portion of system memory for graphics operations. As a result, DVD and 3D rendering performance and quality are
greatly enhanced.
Hi-Res and Hi-Ref Display Support
Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller display enhancements dramatically improve CRT resolution. These enhancements include
support of non-interlaced 1280x1024x64K, 1024x768x16M, 800x600x16M, and 640x480x16M colors for “full spectrum” color.
Extended text modes of 80 or 132 columns by 25, 30, 43, or 60 rows provid e an extended graphics area frequently used in many
spreadsheet and database applications. Extended graphics and text modes are supported by software drivers that provide a “readyto-go” solution, minimizing the need for additional driver development.
A virtual screen can be created with the Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller . When this function is enabled, a selected portion of
a large image can be shown on a smaller display. The image can also be moved across the whole screen, either up or down.
The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller is able to automatically detect DDC monitors with I

The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller supports four states of VESA™ Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS), which
decrease monitor power consumption after timeout periods. VESA™ DPMS power down states (ready, standby, suspend, and off)
specify HSYNC and VSYNC signals to control the monitor power down state.
Flat Panel Monitor Interface
The Apollo PLE133 Flat Panel Monitor interface is designed to support industry standard TFT panel based Flat Panel Monitors via
external TMDS transmitters. The interface supports both 18-bit and 24-bit display modes. Optionally, an 18 +18 panel can be
supported utilizing external latches.
The Video Module Interface (VMI) is supported for video devices such as MPEG1 and MPEG2. Additionally, the zero-wait state
host write buffer, read cache, and memory mapped I/O increase operating speeds and contribute to peak performance levels. All
I/O interfaces are 5V tolerant, capable of interfacing with external devices operating at 5V, even though the Apollo PLE133
Graphics Controller runs at 2.5V. Graphics system throughput is further enhanced by a command FIFO, allowing maximum bus
transfer speed for applications such as Windows™ or AutoCAD™ that directly access video memory.
Complete Hardware Compatibility
The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller is fully compliant with the VESA™ DDC and VAFC standards. Th e Apollo PLE133
Graphics Controller is 100% VGA compatible at both the BIOS and Driver level, allowing full compatib ility with virtually any
VGA application software. The Apollo PLE133 Graphics Controller provides hardware support to DirectDraw™, offering high
speed game graphics on Windows 98
supporting a unique ID for each customer and a unique ID for each model.

REGISTERS
Register Overview
The following tables summarize the configuration and I/O
registers of the PLE133. These tables also document the
power-on default value (“Default”) and access type (“Acc”)
for each register. Access type definitions used are RW
(Read/Write), RO (Read/Only), “—” for reserved / used
(essentially the same as RO), and RWC (or just WC) (Read /
Write 1’s to Clear individual bits). Registers indicated as RW
may have some read/only bits that always read back a fixed
value (usually 0 if unused); registers designated as RWC or
WC may have some read-only or read write bits (see
individual register descriptions following these tables for
details). All offset and default values are shown in
hexadecimal unless otherwise indicated.
