The M1689 is ALi's new generation super single
chipset that offers a high-performance, the highest integration and
cost-effective solution for AMD Hammer microprocessor PC systems.
The M1689 integrates AGP8X controller, AC-Link Host Controller,
2-channel dedicated Ultra-66/100/133 IDE Master controller, USB 2.0/1.1
Host controllers with 8 ports in total, IO APIC controller, 1/10/100
Mb/s Fast Ethernet, SATA, and HyperTransportTM Technology Link
interface. Additional features include Host Signal Processing (HSP)
software modem solution, ACPI support, green function, and Real Time
Clock.
By incorporating USB 2.0 host controller with the data transfer rate up
to 480 Mb/s, the M1689 provides the most advanced connectivity for
higher performance USB devices. 8 USB ports are supported with 1 USB 2.0
EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface) controller and 3 USB 1.1 OHCI
controllers.
The built-in Audio solution in the M1689 is an advanced PCI HSP audio
controller with Scatter-gathering DMA fully supported. The M1689 Audio
is compliant with standard AC97 CODEC and supports 6 audio playback
channels for PCM_out L/R, Surr L/R, Center and LFE, dual PCM inputs and
dual microphone inputs.
The 100BASE-TX/10Base-T Fast Ethernet MAC is fully compliant with PCI
Spec. 2.3 and IEEE802.3u. The MAC provides a direct interface to the PCI
local bus and direct connection to the PHY/transceiver via MII
interface. As a controller, it is bus master capable. The MAC also
supports auto-negotiation function that enables it to detect speed and
duplex automatically. The MAC provides the Power Management capability
that is compliant with the Network Device Class Power Management
Specifications Rev 1.1, ACPI Specifications Rev 2.0, and the PCI Bus
Power Management Interface Specifications 1.1. In addition, it can
support remote Wake-up capability to power up a remote sleeping station
on the network.
The M1689 also provides the best power management solution. The M1689
incorporates ACPI support, deep green function, and 2-channel Ultra
DMA-33/66/100/133 IDE bus master controller, all into one 35mmx35mm BGA
(Ball Grid Array) chip.
