1-8 Super I/O
The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O Winbond® BMC chip includes a
data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection,
a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The
wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number
of components required for interfacing with fl oppy disk drives.
The Super I/O provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication
ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each UART
includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator,
complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. Both UARTs
provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced
speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speed
modems.
The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Confi guration
and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management
through a SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce
power consumption.
The IRQs, DMAs and I/O space resources of the Super I/O can be fl exibly adjusted
to meet ISA PnP requirements, which support ACPI and APM (Advanced Power
Management).
