Functional Overview
This section describes the major Poseidon subsystems.
Processor
Two processor options are available for the Poseidon board.
•
Low-power, fanless 1.0GHz VIA Eden ULV CPU
•
High-performance 2.0GHz VIA C7 CPU
North Bridge and South Bridge
The North and South bridge are integrated in the on-board VIA CX700 chip.
Memory
The board accommodates 512MB
or 1GB
of SDRAM system memory soldered on the board. No expansion connector
is
provided for additional memory.
The board also includes flash memory for storage of BIOS and user programs. Flash memory is accessible via the
on-board ISA bus.
Video Features
Video circuitry is provided by the VIA CX700 chipset and includes,
•
Dual 200MHz 2D/3D graphics engines featuring dedicated 128-bit data paths for pixel data flow and
texture/command access.
•
An integrated MPEG-2 decoder.
•
Dual independent display with separate frame buffers for CRT and flat panel displays.
Audio
The design provides AC97 audio support derived from the South Bridge chip. The Via VT1612A CODEC provides
audio processing. Give special attention to design and routing to minimize noise on the audio I/O lines.
Audio I/O includes,
•
Stereo line in.
•
Stereo line out.
•
Mono mic in.
•
Stereo internal line in.
The board includes audio power amplifier circuitry for stereo speaker output. The amplifier circuit is powered by
+5VDC from the board. User DC control of volume is also provided, which overrides the software settings.
Ethernet
The board supports 10-/100-/1000BaseT (Gigabit) Ethernet. Magnetics are included on the board so that a complete
circuit is provided.
