Overview

Terminology

wAccelerated Graphics Port (AGP)

The AGP interface that is in the MCH, it supports a subset of 3.3V, 66MHz

components, 3.3V 66/133 MHz AGP 2.0 compliant components, and the new 1.

5V 66/266 MHz components.

wCMD, SCK, SIO

CMOS side-band signals that make up the side-band bus used to communicate

with the RDRAM devices without using the normal channel interface. CMD is

the signal used for framing operations on SIO. SCK is the clock of the side-band

bus, and SIO is the bidirectional data signal of the side-band bus.

wContinuity Module/C-RIMM

A RIMM module that does not have any memory devices on the module. This

module serves as a pass through to propagate the Rambus channel to the next

RIMM 184-pin socket.

wCore

The internal base logic in the MCH.

wDevice

A single Direct RDRAM Device.

wDRCG

Direct Rambus Clock Generator. The DRCG provides the 300/356/400MHz

channel clock for the mainboard Rambus Channel.

wLPC I/O

The Low Pin Count interface super I/O component.

wHost Bus

This term bus is used synonymously with CPU.

IntroductionEP-6CXA2C

Page 1-3

wRambus channel

Common name referring to the high speed interface between the system

memory controller MCH(820) and RDRAM devices.

wRDRAM

Rambus Dynamic Random - Access Memory.

wRIMM

Rambus Interface Memory Module.

wRSL

Rambus Signal Level is the name of the signaling technology used by Rambus.

wSC242

The connector that is the S.E.C. Cartridge 2 plugs into, just as the Pentium Pro

processor used socket 8.

wSTR (Suspend-To-RAM)

A lower power state than active. In the STR state, the system state is stored in

main memory and all unnecessary system logic is turned off. Only main

memory and logic required to wake the system remain powered.

Introduction EP-6CXA2C

System Overview

The EP-6CXA2C is designed with Intel®820 chipset. The Intel®820 chipset

includes MCH(FW82820), ICH(FW82801) and FWH (N82802AB) three chips.

The Intel®820 chipset is the third generation desktop chipset designed for Intel’s

SC242 architecture and the first chipset to support the 4X capability of the AGP

2.0 Interface Specification and 400MHz Direct RDRAM. The 400MHz, 16bit,

double clocked Direct RDRAM interface provides 1.6GB/s access to main

memory. A new chipset component interconnect, the hub interface, is designed

into the Intel®820 chipset to provide more efficient communication between

chipset components.

Support of AGP 4X, 400MHz Direct RDRAM and the hub interface provides a

balanced system architecture for the Pentium®III or later SC242 architecture

processor minimizing bottlenecks and increasing system performance. By

increasing memory bandwidth to 1.6GB/s through the use of AGP 4X, the Intel®

820 chipset will deliver the data throughput necessary to take advantage of the

high performance provided by the powerful Pentium®III or later SC242 architec-

ture processor.

The Intel®820 chipset architecture removes the requirement for the ISA expan-

sion bus that was traditionally integrated into the I/O subsystem of Intel chipsets.

This removes many of the conflicts experienced when installing hardware and

drivers into legacy ISA systems. The elimination of ISA will provide true plug-and

play for the Intel®820 platform.

Intel®820 chipset contains three core components: the Memory Controller Hub

(MCH), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH) and the Firmware Hub (FWH). The MCH

integrates the 133MHz, Pentium®II/III processor bus controller, AGP 2.0

controller, 400MHz direct RDRAM controller and a high-speed hub interface for

communication with the ICH. The ICH integrates an UltraATA/66 controller, USB

host controller, LPC interface controller, FWH interface controller, PCI inter-

face controller, and a hub interface for communication with the MCH. The Intel®

820 chipset will provide the data buffering and interface arbitration required to

ensure that system interfaces operate efficiently and provide the system bandwidth

necessary to obtain peak performance the Pentium®III or later SC242

architecture.
