Sis 5597DS20

SiS5597 SiS5598 Pentium PCI/ISA Chipset
1. Introduction
Nowadays, several PC form factors exist in the PC board market, such as NLX, LPX, ATX
and Baby-AT form factors. Due to the different placements of the form factor, PC chipsets
should be prepared for different board layouts. As a result, SiS chips based on compatible logic
design provide two series of chipsets, SiS 5597 and SiS 5598, to assist board designers for
their board layouts.
SiS 5597’s pin assignment is based on NLX, and LPX form factor, while SiS 5598’s is defined
on the basis of ATX and Baby-AT form factors. In the next few chapters, you will read “SiS
Chip” which indicates either SiS 5597 or 5598 chipsets, decided by the placements of form
factors on PC boards of customers.
The SiS Chip with built-in VGA controller is a highly integrated single chip solution for
Pentium PCI/ISA system. A portion of on-board DRAM is shared with the integrated VGA
controller. In that way, the system cost is substantially reduced and on-board DRAM can be
used flexibly.
The SiS Chip consists of Host-to-PCI bridge function, PCI to ISA bridge function, PCI IDE
function, Universal Serial Bus host/hub function, Integrated RTC, Integrated Keyboard
Controller and Graphics/Video accelerate function.
SiS Chip supports Enhanced Power Management, including legacy Power Management Unit
and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). It also supports ATA Synchronous
DMA transfer protocol to improve the IDE performance and Common Architecture for
moving ISA function to PCI to improve system performance. The system block diagram is

3. Functional Description
3.1 Host Interface
The SiS Chip is designed to support Pentium CPU host interface at 75/66.667/60/55/50MHz.
The host data bus and the DRAM bus are 64-bit wide.
The SiS Chip supports the pipelined addressing mode of the Pentium CPU by issuing the next
address signal, NA#. NA# signal is asserted except single read DRAM cycle.
The SiS Chip supports the CPU L1 write back (WB) or write through (WT) cache policies and
the SiS Chip L2 WB cache policies. The L1 cache is snooped by the assertion of EADS# when
the CPU is put in the HOLD state.
The SiS Chip issues AHOLD to the Pentium CPU in response to the assertion of PCI master
requests. Once the AHOLD is asserted, SiS Chip does not immediately assert PGNT[3:0]#
until both the CPU to PCI posted write buffer and the memory write buffer are empty. During
inquire cycles, the AHOLD may be negated temporarily to allow the CPU to write back the
inquired hit modified line to L2 or DRAM.
3.2 Cache Controller
The built-in L2 Cache Controller uses a direct-mapped scheme, which can be configured as in
the write back mode. SiS chip also supports the write through mode, but this function only for
the cache sizing. Pipelined burst SRAMs are supported.
SiS Chip supports SRAM types auto-detection and auto-sizing. Table 3-1 shows the cache
sizes that are supported by the SiS Chip when using synchronous SRAM, with the
corresponding TAG RAM sizes, data RAM sizes, and cacheable memory sizes.
Table 3-1 Cache Size with 8-bit tag

Cache Size Data RAM Tag RAM Cacheable Size
256K 32Kx32x2 8Kx8 64MB
512K 32Kx32x4 16Kx8 128MB
512K 64Kx32x2 16Kx8 128MB
The SiS Chip also provides an alternative to save the dirty SRAM chip. This is accomplished
by integrated 16Kb Dirty RAM.

3.3 DRAM Controller
3.3.1 DRAM Type
The SiS Chip can support up to 384MBytes of DRAMs size and each bank could be single or
double sided 64 bits FPM (Fast Page mode) DRAM, EDO (Extended Data Output) DRAM,
and SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) DRAM. Half populated bank(32-bit) is also supported.
The installed EDO/FPM DRAM type can be 256K, 512k, 1M, 2M, 4M, 8M or 16M bit deep
by n bit wide DRAMs, and both symmetrical and asymmetrical type DRAM are supported. It
also supports SDRAM 1M, 2M, 4M, 8M, 16M or 32M bit deep by n bit wide DRAMs, and
both single and double sided. It is also permissible to mix the DRAMs (FPM/EDO/SDRAM)
bank by bank and the corresponding DRAM timing will be switched automatically according to
register settings.
3.3.2 DRAM Configuration

SiS Chip supports six rows of DRAMs each 64 bits wide. Regarding to these six row lines,
BANK0 use RAS[1:0], BANK1 use RAS[3:2], BANK2 use RAS[5:4]. The six rows of
DRAMs may be implemented in three banks of single-sided SIMMs for FPM/EDO DRAM,
three banks of double-sided SIMMs , three banks of SDRAM or any other combinations as
required. Access to the rows are not interleaved and need not to be populated starting from
row 0 or in consecutive sequence.
The SiS Chip can support EDO, FPM and SDRAM. SDRAM, EDO and FPM DRAMs can
not be mixed in one bank, however, different banks can use different types of DRAM..
The basic configurations are shown as the following sections:

NOTE : 1. SiS Chip only support six rows (3 banks) DRAMs.
2. It is recommended that board designer must follow DC characteristics of each type
DRAM (SDRAM, EDO, FPM) to design the portion of DRAM in DRAM mode
mixed configuration.
3. SiS Chip will assert the RAS0#/CS0#, MA0A, MA1A, SCAS0, and SRAS0 (Bank
0) when integrated VGA controller access the main memory.
4. If the KLOCK# or GPIO function are not needed, the Bank2 DRAM can used the
RAMWC# instead of RAMWB#.
5. Please refer to “Multiplexed pins” section to define the pin for each function.
3.3.3 DRAM Scramble Table
The DRAM scramble table contains information for memory address mapping. These tables
provide the translation between CPU host address and memory Row and Column address.
There are several memory address mapping: 64-bit mapping and 32-bit mapping for FPM/EDO
DRAM, 2 Banks and 4 Banks mapping for SDRAM that SiS Chip supports:

3.3.4 DRAM Detection Sequence
SiS Chip supports six rows (three banks) DRAMs for DRAM’s SIMMs/DIMMs from row0 to
row5. The DRAMs detection sequence is a row-based detection sequence, it is performed by
the BIOS row by row and fulfill the DRAM configuration information into the corresponding
DRAM configuration registers. The following steps will be described the DRAM detection
sequence.
Step 1. To detect if there is any DRAM populated in row N, SiS Chip set this row with
maximum DRAM size, then write/read the same address with test pattern by the
normal DRAM read/write timing and compare the data. If the read data is the same as
the write pattern, then there exists DRAM in the rowN; otherwise, proceed the
SDRAM detection from step 3.
Step 2. If the DRAM is detected in the rowN by step 1, SiS Chip treat it as EDO or FPM
DRAM. SiS Chip first write test pattern into DRAM, then set register 55h bit 6 (EDO
test bit) to be “1” in PCI/memory bridge configuration register, and do the read,
compare test pattern from the same DRAM location. The EDO test bit will delay the
data forward to CPU after 4096 CPU clock. If the CPU still get the right data, then
EDO mode DRAM is set to this row; otherwise, the FP mode DRAM is set. Go to
step 8.
Step 3. If the DRAM is detected not populated in row N by normal write/read procedure, SiS
Chip check if there is SDRAM exist in this row or not. SiS Chip first assume the
DRAM mode is SDRAM (set bit [7:6] of register 60h/61h/62h to be “11” in Host to
PCI bridge configuration register, it depends on which bank is under detection), and
then do the SDRAM initialization procedure from step 4 to step 7.
Step 4. Set register 56h bit 3 to “1” to enable SDRAM sizing, then set register 57h bit 7 to be
“1”, register 57h bit 7 will drive a precharge command to SDRAM, then disable this
bit (set to be “0”).
Step 5. Set register 57h bit 6 to be “1”, this bit will drive a “mode register set” (MRS)
command to SDRAM. When SDRAM receive MRS command, it will load the needed
information (Toggle/Linear mode, CAS Latency) into SDRAM. After doing MRS,
disable this bit ( set to be “0”).
Step 6. Set register 57h bit 5 to be “1” at least two times, then SDRAM will perform refresh
cycle at least two times before the normal operation. Disable this bit ( set to be “0”).
Step 7. Write/Read the test pattern into SDRAM, then compare the data. If the data is
correct, SDRAM is detected, and set rowN as SDRAM; otherwise, rowN is no
DRAM populated. Set Register 56h bit 3 to “0”.
Step 8. After DRAM mode is set, SiS Chip do DRAM sizing by write/read test pattern based
on the MA mapping table.
Step 9. Repeat from step 1 to step 8 to detect the other rows.
Note : The value of N is from 0 to 5.

3.3.6 CPU to DRAM Posted Write FIFOs
There is a built-in CPU to Memory posted write buffer with 8 QWord deep ( CTMFF). All the
write access to DRAM will be buffered. For the CPU read miss / Line fill cycles, the write-
back data from the second level cache will be buffered first, and right after the data had been
posted write into the FIFO, CPU can performs the read operation by the memory controller
starting to read data from DRAMs. The buffered data are then written to DRAM whenever no
any other read DRAM request comes. With this concurrent write back policy, many wait states
are eliminated. If there comes a bunch of continuous DRAM write cycles, some ones will be
pending if the CTMFF is full.
3.3.7 32-bit (Half-Populated) DRAM Access
For the read access, there will be either single or burst read cycle to access the DRAM which
depends on the cacheability of the cycle. If the current DRAM configuration is half-populated
bank, then the SiS Chip will assert 8 consecutive cycles to access DRAM for the burst cycle.
For the single cycle that only accesses DRAM within a DWord, the SiS Chip will only issue
one cycle to access DRAM. For the single cycle that accesses one Qword or cross DWord
boundary, the SiS Chip will issue two consecutive cycles to access DRAM.
3.3.8 Arbiter
The arbiter is the interface between the DRAM controller and the host which can access
DRAMs. In addition to pass or translate the information from outside to DRAM controller,
arbiter is also responsible for which master has higher priority to access DRAMs. The arbiter
treats different DRAM access request as DRAM master, and that makes there be 5 masters
which are trying to access DRAMs by sending their request to the arbiter. After one of them
get the grant from the arbiter, it owns DRAM bus and begins to do memory data transaction.
The masters are: CPU read request, PCI master, Posted write FIFO write request, VGA
request and Refresh request. The order of these masters shown above also stands for their
priority to access memory.
3.3.9 Refresh cycle
The refresh cycle will occur every 15.6 us, 62.4 us, 124.8 us and 187.2 us and depend on
setting the register 53h bits[2:1] in Host to PCI bridge configuration space. It is timed by a
counter of 14Mhz input. The CAS[7:0]# will be asserted at the same time, and the RAS[5:0]#
are asserted sequentially.

3.4 PCI bridge
SiS Chip is able to operate at both asynchronous and synchronous PCI clocks. Synchronous
mode is provided for those synchronous system to improve the overall system performance.
While in the PCI master write cycles, post-write is always performed. And function of Write
Merge with CPU-to-DRAM post-write buffer is incorporated to eliminate the penalty of
snooping write-back. On the other hand, prefetch is enabled for master read cycles by default,
and such function could be disabled optionally. And, Direct-Read from CPU-to-DRAM post-
write buffer is implemented to eliminate the overhead of snooping write-back also.
In addition to Write-Merge and Direct-Read, Snoop-Ahead also hides the overhead of inquiry
cycles for master to main memory cycles. These key functions, Write-Merge, Direct-Read and
Snoop-Ahead, achieve the purpose of zero wait for PCI burst transfer.
The post-write and prefetch buffers are both 16 Double-Word deep FIFOs .
3.4.1 Snooping Control
In order to maintain the cache consistency while PCI master accesses to main memory, SiS
Chip performs inquiry cycle to snoop L1 and L2 caches before PCI masters really read from or
write to memory. For the purpose of snooping, AHOLD is asserted to force the Pentium-like
processors to float its address bus as soon as PCI master requests the PCI bus. Such host bus
hold mechanism is completed by an AHOLD/BOFF# process and will be depicted later. Since
the inquiry cycle is the major penalty for PCI master cycles, SiS Chip builds in a high
performance snoop-ahead mechanism to incorporate the zero wait requirement of PCI bus
transactions.
The main idea of “snoop-ahead” is to do memory operations and inquiry cycle simultaneously.
For example, when transferring the Ln line of data, SiS Chip also performs the Ln+1 line of
inquiry cycle in the mean while.
3.4.2 AHOLD/BOFF# Process and Arbiter Interface

In order to perform inquiry cycles, SiS Chip uses AHOLD to hold address bus of Pentium-like
CPUs. While PCI master asserts PREQ#, SiS Chip will drive AHOLD firstly. And, if PCI
master operates a peer-to-peer transaction, SiS Chip will deasserts AHOLD to permit CPU to
do memory cycles concurrently. Otherwise, SiS Chip retains AHOLD signal until PREQ# is
inactive and bus transaction completes.

3.4.3 Target Initiated Termination
In general, SiS Chip is capable to complete all the requests to access main memory from PCI
masters until master terminates the transaction actively. Sometimes, as SiS Chip is unable to
respond or is unable to burst, it will initiate to terminate bus transactions and STOP# will be
issued by doing Retry or Disconnect.
3.4.4 Target Retry
SiS Chip may operate Target Retry for one of two reasons:
1. Whenever a PCI master tries to access main memory and SiS Chip is locked previously by
another agent, Target Retry will be signaled.
2. Once SiS Chip can‘t meet the requirement of target initial latency, Target Retry is used and
no data is transferred.
3.4.5 Disconnect With Data
In some situations, such as the burst crosses a resource boundary or a resource conflict, SiS
Chip might be temporarily unable to continue bursting, and, therefore, SiS Chip concludes an
active termination.
1. SiS Chip supports PCI burst transfers, the bursting length can be 256 bytes, 512 bytes, 1K
bytes, 2K bytes, or 4K bytes and depend on setting the register 80h bits[7:5] in Host to
PCI bridge configuration space. A burst will be terminated by doing Disconnect if the
transfer goes across the programmed bursting length. In this way, at most 128 cache lines
of data can be uninterruptedly transferred no matter what the status they are in L1 and L2
cache. One reason for the constraint is that page miss may occur only once at the beginning
of the entire bursting transaction since the maximum bursting length is always within the
page size in any of the used DRAM.
2. If advanced snoop function is disabled, PCI transaction will not cross the cache boundary
and also causes a Disconnect operation. Since the heavy overhead of inquiry cycles is not
preventable, and SiS Chip can‘t keep bursting transfer.

3.4.6 Disconnect Without Data
If Target Subsequent Latency timer expires, it causes SiS Chip to assert STOP# by doing
Disconnect operation.

3.4.7 DATA Flow
The major two data paths are PCI->PTHFF->DRAM and DRAM->CTPFF->PCI for PCI
master write DRAM cycles and read DRAM cycles, respectively. For cache system, if an
inquiry cycle hits Pipeline Burst SRAM, SiS Chip would read from L2 directly, but write
DRAM and L2 CACHE simultaneously.
Based on snooping result, there are additional data path that SiS Chip should perform.

3.4.10 PCI Arbiter

The main function of PCI arbiter takes charge of the PCI bus ownership assignment. This PCI
arbiter supports at most 4 external PCI masters and 4 internal PCI masters. The arbitration
operation is applied to the Host Bridge and CPU.
The arbitration scheme which we design is done at two layers. CPU has the highest priority,
i.e., CPU will be the PCI bus owner if there is a request from the Host Bridge. If there is no
request from the Host Bridge, rotational priority scheme will be applied to these masters.
Arbitration Algorithm
PCI Masters (Agent 0~6, SIO) Requests
Figure 3-5 shows the arbitration tree in arbiter design. Whenever a PCI cycle occurs, priority
status will be changed. The initial priority for master 0-7 to own PCI bus is 4 -> 0->SIO->2-

NOTE: “SIO” means the System I/O for PCI to ISA bridge.
CPU Request
In our previous design, CPU will be constantly held if PCI masters continuously deliver
requests to the arbiter. To address this problem in SiS Chip, we derived a timer-based
algorithm to reserve PCI bandwidth for CPU. Three timers, PCI Grant Timer(PGT)/Master
Latency Timer(MLT)/CPU Idle Timer(CIT), are included in the host bridge for this purpose.
Whenever the PCI bus is owned by any PCI device other than host bridge, PCI grant timer
(PGT) starts to count. After the timer is expired, the host bridge asserts its request signal to
ask for gaining the control of PCI bus. Since the host bridge has the highest priority, PCI
arbiter grants the bus to the host bridge as soon as possible after it receives the request from
the host bridge.
Once the host bridge get a chance to start a transaction on PCI bus, its master latency timer
(MLT) begins to count. After MLT is expired, the host bridge deasserts its request signal to
inform the arbiter that the host bridge no more needs the PCI bus. If there is any other PCI
device that requests for the bus, arbiter grants the bus to the device and CPU is held again.
If there is no request from any PCI devices, the arbiter parks the bus on the host bridge. The
ratio MLT/PGT approximately guarantees the minimum PCI bandwidth allocated to host
bridge when CPU and PCI masters are contending for system resources, but it doesn’t
constrain CPU’s highest utilization of PCI bus because of our bus parking policy.
To prevent the host bridge from capturing PCI bus too long while CPU actually has nothing to
do at all, the third timer, CPU Idle Timer (CIT) is included in our design. CIT starts to count
when the host bridge get a chance to start a transaction on PCI bus, but is reloaded with its
initial value whenever the host bus leaves idle state. CIT actually keeps track on how long the
CPU is in idle state. After CIT is expired, the host bridge deasserts its request signal just in the
same manner as the case of MLT’s expiration.
PGT is a 16-bit timer. MLT and CIT are both 8-bit timers. All of the initial values of the three
timers are programmable and can be tuned according to the nature of the application. Although
CIT & MLT are both 8-bit timers, the initial value of CIT is typically programmed much
smaller than MLT.
PCI peer-to-peer access concurrent with CPU to L2/DRAM access

With this feature, a transaction initiated by a PCI master targeting a PCI target won’t hold
CPU. The CPU can still access L2 cache, system memory and PCI post-write buffers when
PCI peer-to-peer activities are undergoing. With the enlarged 8 Dword deep PCI post-write
buffers, it takes longer for CPU to halt while PCI peer-to-peer accesses are taking place.
Arbitration Parking
When no agent is currently using or requesting the bus, the arbiter will grant the bus ownership
to the arbitration controller of SiS Chip.
CPU to PCI Bridge

The CPU to PCI bridge forwards the CPU cycles not targeting the local memory to the PCI
bus, In the case of a 64-bit CPU request or a misaligned 32-bit CPU request, the bridge takes
the duty of read assembly and write disassembly control, An 8 level post-write buffer is
implemented to improve the performance of CPU to PCI memory write and CPU to IDE port
write. Except for on-board memory write cycles, and any non-post write cycles forwarded to
the PCI bus will be suspended until the post-write buffer is empty. For memory write cycles
toward PCI or I/O write cycles towards IDE data port, the address and data from host bus are
pushed into the post write buffer if it is not full. The push rate for a double word is 3 CPU
clocks. The pushed data are, at later time, written to the PCI bus. If the addresses of
consecutive written data are in double word incremental sequence and they are targeting
memory space, they will be transferred to the PCI bus in a burst manner.
The bridge provides a mechanism for converting standard I/O cycles on the CPU bus to
configuration cycles on the PCI bus. Configuration Mechanism#1 in PCI Specification is used
to do the cycle conversion.
The bridge always intercepts the first interrupt acknowledge cycle from CPU bus, and
forwards the second interrupt acknowledge cycle onto the PCI bus.
The bridge is designed to be able to handle asynchronous clock relationship between CPU and
PCI. However, in order to enhance the performance of the bridge when PCI clock is lagging
CPU clock by 2~4 ns, an optional synchronous mode is provided. The synchronous mode can
averagely save two extra CPU clocks for a single non-post cycle.

3.5 Power Management Unit (PMU)
The function of PMU is to provide power management functions for the system to meet Green
PC requirement. The main methodology of PMU is to generate SMI#, STPCLK# and
FLUSH# signals to CPU for different situations. The PMU unit includes 3 major sub-blocks,
Legacy PMU, APC and ACPI. Legacy PMU is the traditional PMU block and may be replaced
by ACPI. APC(Auto Power Control) block is mainly responsible for the power supply control.
For more information on APCI please refer to Section 3.6.8 Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface (ACPI) on page 46.The following sections will introduce the legacy PMU
function.
3.5.1 Legacy PMU Block Diagram
Legacy PMU block can be divided into several sub-blocks as shown in Figure 3-6 Legacy
PMU Block Diagram. Events Catching Logic is responsible for recording the events that
request SMI#. Time Base generation logic is to generate the clock for timer. Timers are
responsible for timeout reporting. SMI generation Logic is for SMI# generation. STPCLK#
generation Logic is for STPCLK# generation. FLUSH# generation Logic is for FLUSH#
generation.

3.5.2 Time Base Generation Logic

All the clocks used in Legacy PMU timers are derived from 14.318 MHZ clock. To support
different time slots, SiS Chip uses frequency divider to obtain the clock we require. The time
slots SiS Chip support are divided in two classes. One is for monitor standby timer and the

other is for system standby timer. The former includes 6.6sec, 0.84sec, 13.3ms and 1.6ms
programmability in register 96h bits[7:6] of Host-to-PCI bridge configuration space while the
latter includes 9 sec, 1.1 sec, 70ms and 8.85ms programmability in register 91h bits[1:0] of
Host-to-PCI bridge configuration space. Besides, SiS Chip provide CPU clock for timer in test
mode.
3.5.3 Timers
There are three kinds of timer defined in Legacy PMU. One is for monitor activity, another is
for system activity and the other is for STPCLK# behavior generation. In order to save
monitor power dissipation, we provide monitor standby timer to detect if there is any monitor-
related activity. If there is any activity, monitor standby timer will be reloaded. Otherwise,
monitor standby timer will continuously count down. If it count to zero, it will report timeout
event. System standby timer has the same operation as monitor standby timer. STPCLK#
assertion/deassertion timer is to toggle STPCLK# signal in Throttling mode.
3.5.4 Event Catching Logic
System Sleep Events

The timeout of system timer will request SMI# to enter Sleep state. If throttling mode is
enabled, Legacy PMU will enter throttling mode. Otherwise, if STPCLK# mode is enabled,
Legacy PMU will enter sleep mode. If both modes are disabled, Legacy PMU remains wakeup.
System Wakeup events

The following events will wakeup system from Standby state to Normal state.

IRQ 1-15, NMI

If monitor timer expired, SMI# will be generated for the request of turn-off monitor power.

3.5.5 Output generation Logic
SMI# generation
When there is any event to request entering sleep/throttling/wakeup state, SMI# will be issued.
When SMI# is recognized by CPU, SMI routine will handle the operation of state transition.
STPCLK# generation
STPCLK# generation is initialized by SMI sub-routine by writing Reg. 93 bit 3 to ‘1’ in Host
to PCI bridge configuration space. The behavior of STPCLK# depends on the configuration
register setting, i.e., non-throttling or throttling.
FLUSH# generation
FLUSH# is generated for DeTurbo mode. By issuing FLUSH#, CPU will write back all
modified cachelines in the data cache and invalidate both internal code and data caches. Flush
Acknowledge special cycle will be driven once flush operation is completed. Hence, CPU
performance can be degraded.
3.5.6 Operation of Power Management

There are three states in PMU, i.e., Wakeup state, Sleep state and Throttling state. In wakeup
state, system wakes up from sleep or throttling state. In sleep state, STPCLK# will always
asserted until exiting Sleep state. In throttling state, STPCLK# will be asserted and deasserted
periodically.
Once CPU recognizes a STPCLK# interrupt, CPU will perform the following:
1. Wait for all instructions being executed to complete.
2. Flush the instruction pipeline of any instructions waiting to be executed.
3. Wait for all pending bus cycles to complete and EWBE# to go active.
4. Drive a special bus cycle(stop grant bus cycle) to indicate that the clock is being stopped.
Stop grant bus cycle is decoded as follows: M/IO#=0, D/C#=0, W/R#=1, Address
Bus=00000010H (A4=1), BE7#-BE0#=11111011, Data bus=undefined.

5. Enter low power mode.
The rising edge of STPCLK# indicates that CPU can return to program execution at the
instruction following the interrupted instruction
3.5.7 Hardware Limitation

If STPCLK# is configured as throttling mode. There is a possibility for SMI to break
Configuration Register Access. To elaborate, there are two steps to access Configuration
registers. The first step is to program I/O port CF8h and the second one is to program I/O port
CFCh. If SMI routine begins to be executed between the two steps by CPU. There is
possibility for PMU to cause mal-function.
The recommended solution for this problem is to read the CF8h data before executing other
code in SMI routine and write back the data to CF8h before exiting SMI routine.
3.6 PCI/ISA System I/O (PSIO)

3.6.1 Functional Description
As a PCI slave device, PSIO responds to both I/O and memory transfers. PSIO always target-
terminates after the first data phase for any bursting cycle.
The PSIO is assigned as the subtractive decoder in the Bus 0 of the PCI/ISA system by
accepting all accesses not positively decoded by some other agent. In reality, the PSIO only
subtractively responds to low 64K I/O or low 16M memory accesses. PSIO also positively
decodes I/O addresses for internal registers, and BIOS memory space by asserting DEVSEL#
signal on the medium timing.
As a PCI master device, the PCI master bridge on behalf of DMA devices or ISA Master
devices start to drive the AD bus, C/BE[3:0]# and PAR signals. When MEMR# or MEMW# is
asserted, the PSIO will generate FRAME#, and IRDY# to PCI bus if the targeted memory is
not on the ISA side. The valid address and command are driven during the address phase, and
PAR signal is asserted one clock after that phase. PSIO always activated FRAME# for 2
PCLKs because it does not conduct any bursting cycle.
The ISA address decoder is used to determine the destination of ISA master devices or DMA
devices. This decoder provides the following options as they are defined in registers 48h to
4Bh of PCI to ISA Bridge configuration space.
a. Memory: 0-512K
b. Memory: 512K-640K
c. Memory: 640K-768K(video buffer)
d. Memory: 768K-896K in eight 16K sections(Expansion ROM)
e. Memory: 896K-960K(lower BIOS area)
f. Memory: 1M-XM-16M within which a hole can be opened. Access to the hole is not
forwarded to PCI bus.
g. Memory:>16M automatically forwards to PCI.

3.6.2 ISA Bus Controller
The SiS Chip’s ISA Bus Interface accepts those cycles from PCI bus interface and then
translates them onto the ISA bus. It also requests the PCI master bridge to generate PCI cycle
on behalf of DMA or ISA master devices. The ISA bus interface thus contains a standard ISA
Bus Controller (IBC) and a Data Buffering logic. IBC provides all the ISA control, such as
ISA command generation, I/O recovery control, wait-state insertion, and data buffer steering.
The PCI to/from ISA address and data bus bufferings are also all integrated in SiS Chip. The
SiS Chip can directly support 4 ISA slots without external data or address buffering.
Standard ISA bus refresh is requested by Counter 1, and then performed via the IBC. IBC
generates the pertinent command and refreshes address to the ISA bus. Since the ISA refresh is
transparent to the PCI bus and the DMA cycle, an arbiter is employed to resolve the possible
conflicts among PCI cycles, refresh cycles, and DMA cycles.
3.6.3 DMA Controller
The SiS Chip contains a seven-channel DMA controller. The channel 0 to 3 is for 8-bit DMA
devices while channel 5 to 7 is for 16-bit devices. The channels can also be programmed for
any of the four transfer modes, which include single, demand, block, and cascade. Except in
cascade mode, each of the three active transfer modes can perform three different types of
transfers, which include read, write, and verify. The address generation circuitry in SiS Chip
can only support 24-bit address for DMA devices.
Distributed DMA
Distributed DMA allows the individual DMA channels to be separated into different physical
devices on the PCI bus. In distributed DMA, the DMA Master contains the addresses that
were occupied by the traditional ISA DMA Controller(8237). This device will respond to any
system read or write to the traditional ISA DMA address locations so the software will
continue to think it is communicating with a standard DMA controller. The SiS Chip is the
DMA Master and the protocol is as follows:
1). When the CPU bridge attempts to read/write a legacy DMA register, a PCI I/O cycle will
be initiated on the PCI bus with a legacy DMA address. The SiS Chip will take control of
this cycle by driving DEVSEL# active, driving the internal Request(requesting the PCI bus),
and issuing a PCI retry to terminate this cycle.
2). When granted the PCI bus, the SiS Chip will run up to PCI I/O byte read/writes. The
specific I/O addresses for each legacy DMA address are remappable. The purpose of these
read/writes is to return/send the individual channel read/write information. DMA Slave
devices must only respond to the slave address assigned to them and not any legacy DMA
address.

3). At the end of the last read/write the SiS Chip will set an internal flag indicating completion
and will drive its internal Request inactive (relinquishing the PCI bus) and wait for the
retried PCI I/O read/write from the CPU bridge.
4). The PCI I/O read/write will be retried. If it was a read, theSiS Chip will return the data. If it
was a write, the SiS Chip will simply terminate the cycle. Then the SiS Chip will reset the
internal flag.
3.6.4 Interrupt Controller
The SiS Chip provides an ISA compatible interrupt controller that incorporates the
functionality of two 82C59 interrupt controllers. The two controllers are cascaded so that 14
external and two internal interrupts are supported. The master interrupt controller provides
IRQ<7:0> and the slave one provides IRQ<15:8>. The two internal interrupt are used for
internal functions only and are not available externally. IRQ2 is used to cascade the two
controllers together and IRQ0 is used as a system timer interrupt and is tied to interval Counter
0. The remaining 14 interrupt lines are available for external system interrupts.

2 IRQ1 1 Keyboard
3-10 IRQ2 1 Interrupt from Controller 2
3 IRQ8# 2 Real Time Clock
4 IRQ9 2 Expansion bus pin B04

13 IRQ5 1 Parallel Port 2, Expansion Bus B23
14 IRQ6 1 Diskette Controller, Expansion Bus B22
15 IRQ7 1 Parallel Port1, Expansion Bus B21
In addition to the ISA features, the ability to do interrupt sharing is included. Two registers
located at 4D0h and 4D1h are defined to allow edge or level sense selection to be made on an
individual channel by channel basis instead of on a complete bank of channels. Note that the
default of IRQ0, IRQ1, IRQ2, IRQ8# and IRQ13 is edge sensitive, and can not be
programmed. Also, each PCI Interrupt(INTx#) can be programmed independently to route to
one of the eleven ISA compatible interrupts(IRQ<7:3>, IRQ<15:14>, and IRQ<12:9>)
through PCI to ISA bridge configuration registers 41h to 44h.
Serial IRQ
The Serial IRQ provides a mechanism for communicating IRQ status between ISA legacy
components, PCI components, and PCI system controllers. A serial interface is specified that
provides a means for transferring IRQ and/or other information from one system component to
a system host controller. A transfer, called an serial IRQ cycle, consists of three frame types:
one Start Frame, several IRQ/Data Frames, and one Stop Frame. This protocol uses the PCI
clock as its clock source and conforms to the PCI bus electrical specification.

Figure 3-8 Stop Frame Timing with Host using 17 SIRQ# sampling period

Serial IRQ Cycle Control
There are two modes of operations for the serial IRQ start frame.
a) Quiet(Active) Mode: Any device may initiate a Start Frame by driving SIRQ# low for one
clock, while SIRQ# is Idle. After driving low one clock the SIRQ# must immediately be tri-
stated without at any time driving high. A Start Frame may not be initiated while the SIRQ#
is Active. The SIRQ# is Idle between Stop and Start Frames. This mode of operation allows
the SIRQ# to be Idle when there are no IRQ/Data transitions which should be most of the
time.
Once a Start Frame has been initiated the SiS Chip will take over driving the SIRQ# low in
the next clock and will continue driving the SIRQ# low for a programmable period of three
to seven clocks more. This makes a total low pulse width of four to eight clocks. Finally,
SiS Chip will drive the SIRQ# back high for one clock, then tri-state.
Any serial IRQ device which detects any transition on an SIRQ# line for which it is
responsible must initiate a Start Frame in order to update the SiS Chip unless the SIRQ# is
already in a serial IRQ cycle and the IRQ/Data transition can be delivered in the serial IRQ
cycle.
b) Continuous(Idle) Mode: Only the SiS Chip can initiate a Start Frame to update SIRQ# line
information. All other serial IRQ agents become passive may not initiate a Start Frame.
SIRQ# will be driven low for four to eight clocks by the SiS Chip . This mode has two
functions. It can be used to stop or idle the SIRQ# or the SiS Chip can operate SIRQ# in a
continuous mode by initiating a Start Frame at the end of every Stop Frame. A serial IRQ
mode transition can only occurs during the Stop Frame. Upon reset, the Serial IRQ bus is
default to Continuous mode, therefore only the SiS Chip can initiate the first Start Frame.
Slave must continuously sample the Stop Frames pulse width to determine the next serial
IRQ cycle's mode.
IRQ/Data Frame
Once a Start Frame has been initiated, all serial IRQ devices must detect for the rising edges of
the Start pulse and start counting IRQ/Data Frames from there. There are three clock phases
for each IRQ/Data Frame:Sample phase, Recovery Phase, and Turn-around phase. During the
Sample phase the serial IRQ device must drive the SIRQ# low, if and only if, its last detected
IRQ/Data value was low. If its detected IRQ/Data value is high, SIRQ# must be left tri-stated.
During the Recovery phase , a serial IRQ device will drive SIRQ# back high if it has driven the
SIRQ# low in the previous clock. During the Turn-around phase all serial IRQ devices must be
tri-stated. All serial IRQ devices will drive SIRQ# low at the appropriate sample point
regardless of which device initiated the sample activity, if its associated IRQ/Data line is low.
The Sample phase for each IRQ/Data follows the low to high transition of the Start Frame
pulse by a number of clocks equal to the IRQ/Data Frame times three, minus one.(e.g. the
IRQ5 sample clock is the sixth IRQ/Data frame, (6x3)-1=17th clock after the rising edge of the
Start Pulse).

32:22 Unassigned 95
At the end of each Sample phase, the SiS Chip will sample the state the SIRQ# line and
replicate the status the original IRQ/Data line at the input to the 8259s Interrupt Controller.
Stop Cycle Control

Once all IRQ/Data frames have completed, the SiS Chip will terminate SIRQ# activity by
driving Stop cycle. Only the SiS Chip can initiate the stop frame. A Stop Frame is indicated by
the SiS Chip driving SIRQ# low for two clocks(Quiet Mode) or 3 clocks(Continuous Mode),
then back high for one clock. In the Quiet mode, any serial IRQ device may initiate a Start
frame in the third clock or more after the rising edge of the Stop frame pulse. In the
Continuous mode, only the SiS Chip may initiate a Start frame in the third clock or more after
the rising edge of the Stop frame pulse.
EOI/ISR Latency
When a legacy interrupt is deasserted, it will start a serial interrupt frame. An EOI can occur
after the legacy interrupt is deasserted, however, the 8259 may not detect the deasserted
interrupt because it is still being serialized. This could cause the 8259 to generate interrupt as
soon as the EOI is received. By delaying EOIs and ISR read to the 8259 in order to ensure
that these latency issues are well covered. Note that, EOI indicates the End of Interrupt and
ISR indicates the Interrupt Service Routine.
3.6.5 Timer/Counter
The SiS Chip contains 3 channel counter/timer that is equivalent to those found in the 82C54
programmable interval timer. The counters use a division of 14.318MHz OSC input as the
clock source. The outputs of the timers are directed to key system functions. Counter 0 is
connected to the interrupt controller IRQ0 and provides a system timer interrupt for a time-of-
day, diskette time-out, or the other system timing function. Counter 1 generates a refresh-
request signal and Counter 2 generates the tone for the speaker.
3.6.6 Integrated Real Time Clock (RTC)
Real Time Clock Module
The Real Time Clock module in the SiS Chip contain the industrial standard Real Time Clock
which is compatible to MC146818, and the Auto Power Control circuitry mainly to support
the ACPI power control functions. The Real Time Clock part provides a time-of-day clock
with alarm and one hundred year calendar, a programmable periodic interrupt, 114 Bytes of
standard CMOS SRAM, and 128 Byes of extended CMOS SRAM. The Auto Power Control
part provides the software/hardware power up/down functions. Figure 3-9 shows the block
diagram of the RTC module.

RTC Registers & RAM
Three separate RTC registers & RAMs are provided in the SiS Chip. One is called the
Standard Bank, another is the Extended Bank, and the other is the APC (Auto Power Control)
registers. All of these registers are referenced through the same index, and data port, ie. port
70H and 71H, respectively. The access control with which that the three portions of registers
are appropriately addressed are stored in PCI-ISA:45h[3] (EXTEND_EN bit) and PCI-
ISA:44h[4] (APCREG_EN bit). EXTEND_EN bit enables the access of the Standard Bank
while it is 0. The EXTEND_EN bit must be programmed to 1 to read/write the Extended
Bank. The APCREG_EN bit toggle the 70H/71H access between the RTC registers and APC
registers. The 70H/71H port will access the RTC Standard/Extended Bank if APCREG_EN bit
is 0. The 70H/71H port will access the APC register if APCREG_EN bit is 1. Figure 3-10
shows the address map of the Standard Bank. In the Standard Bank, the lower 10 bytes
contain the time, calendar, and alarm data. The registers Ah,Bh,Ch, and Dh contain the control
and status bytes. The last two bytes (7Eh, 7Fh) are the Day of Month Alarm byte and the
Month Alarm byte which are the extended alarm features requested by the ACPI. The Day of
the Month Alarm selects the day within the month to generate a RTC alarm while the Month
Alarm selects the month within the year to generate a RTC alarm. The remain 112 bytes in the
Standard Bank are the general purpose RAM bytes. In the Extended Bank, another 128 bytes
are also provided for the general purpose usage.
Figure 3-10 Address Map of the Standard Bank
The APC registers are provided to support the Auto Power Control Function. The register
02H defines the “Day of the Week” Alarm byte which can select the day within a week to
generate a RTC alarm. The 03H, 04H registers contain the control information for the auto
power control functions. Figure 3-11 shows the address map of the APC registers.

RTC Update Cycle
The primary function of the the update cycle is to increment the seconds bytes, the minutes
bytes and so forth through to the year of the century byte. The update cycle also compares
each alarm byte in the corresponding time byte and issues an alarm if a match or if a “Don’t
care” code(11XXXXXX) is present in this time byte. Figure 3-12 shows the block diagram of
the RTC.

RTC External Connection Requirement
The SiS Chip‘s RTC is powered by the RTCVDD, & RTCVSS. In reality, not only the internal
circuitry of the RTC, the pins associated with the RTC module are also powered by the
specific power planes. They are ONCTL#, PWRGD, PSRSTB#, SWITCH, PWRBT#, RING,
OSCI, OSCO, GPIO5, and GPIO10.
SiS Chip is designed to support the 3V output with 5V input tolerant I/O buffers. The 5V
tolerant capability is achieved by two 5V power pins(VCC5) sustaining the I/O associated
well. The two pins must be connected to VCC5 if 5V input tolerance is required. The Ball NO.
of these two pins are AF15, AB2 in SiS5597 and D15, H2 in SiS5598.
Please note that the RTC-related ten pins have no 5V tolerance since the associated well for
the RTC is powered by the RTCVDD. The voltage level of RTCVDD is not allowed to be
higher than 3.3V since SiS Chip employs the 3.3V process. Thus, DO NOT POWER THE
RTCVDD HIGHER THAN 3.3V. Please ensure the ten pins related to the RTC follows this
requirment. For instance, a voltage divider is requiried to clamp the PWRGD from the power
supply to around 3.3V. These ten pins are : ONCTL#, RING, PWRGD, PSRSTB#, OSCI,
OSCO, SWITCH, PWRBT#, GPIO5, GPIO10.
SiS Chip contains 3 wells if categorized by the driving power:

1) the internal circuitry excluding the RTC (powered by 3.3V OVDD)
2) the RTC(powered by RTCVDD), and
3) the I/O buffers(powered by 5V VCC5).
3.6.7 Auto Power Controller

An ATX power supply and the integrated RTC are needed at the same time to make the Auto
Power Control function work. ATX power supply has a control signal ONCTL# and two set
of VCC named VCC5 and AUX5V. When power is applied, then AUX5V exists but VCC5
does not until ONCTL# goes low. APC controls the signal ONCTL# to turn on or turn off
VCC5 of ATX power supply.
Auto Power Control
Let us take the following power up/down sequence as an example to illustrate the APC
functions. Please also refer to Figure 3-13 showing the typical timing sequence of the power
control related pins. Also, Figure 3-14 outlines the main APC functions.

high) or external RTC(PSRSTB# is low).The ONCTL# is set to high as long as the PSRSTB#
is low. When the PSRSTB# is high and the power up events are asserted, the ONCTL# will
control ATX power supply which can provide VCC5 for the motherboard.

Since the RTC must continue to count the time when the system power is removed, a
conversion from the system power to an alternate power supply, usually a battery must be
made. In a system powered by the ATX power supply, it is recommended to design the power
conversion circuitry powered by both the AUX5V and battery. Please refer to “Application
Circuit” for more details. In terms of this application, the PSRSTB# is low only when both the
battery and the AUX5V is low. That is, PSRSTB# is low when the battery happened to be
exhausted and the power supply is not plugged yet. Most of the cases in the application, the
PSRSTB# is first restored to high by AUX5V from ATX power supply. As long as the
PSRSTB# is high, the power up events can be recognized and results in the assertion of the
ONCTL# to have the ATX power supply provide VCC5 for the system. It is now obvious why
the conversion circuitry should use the AUX5V or battery for the power source. This ensures
that the APC circuit block can have power to work and can sense the “Power Up” Request
Events to wake up PC board’s power from ATX power supply. In other words, RTC and APC
controller must be powered by AUX5V/battery through RTCVDD, and PSRSTB# signal must
be high, so that Power Up Request Events can wake up system power.
(2) During the power down period, the following events can power up the PC main board by
the assertion of ONCTL#. They are Switch On event (via SWITCH), Power Button On event
(via PWRBT#), Ring Up event (via RING), Start Request event (via GPIO5), and Alarm On
event (via IRQ8#). Following is the detail description of these events:
1. Switch On Event:
A schmitt trigger input buffer and a debounce protection of at least 30ms is associated with
the SWITCH pin. When PWRGD is low, an active low on the SWITCH lasting for more
than 30ms indicates a request from Switch On Request event, then the ONCTL# signal will
be activated to low in order to power on the VCC5 of ATX power supply.
2. Power Button On Event:

In addition to SWITCH, SiS Chip provides another power button control pin which is
PWRBT#. While PWRGD is low, a high to low transition with the active low logic lasting
for more than 30ms indicates the Power On Request Event which eventually activates the
ONCTL#. While PWRGD is high, the assertion of PWRBT# less than 4 seconds results in a
SCI/SMI event, and the assertion of PWRBT# more than 4 seconds will turn off the system.
The ACPI module will take the appropriate action.
3. Ring Up Event:
The function is enabled by setting APC_EN bit and RNUP_EN bit which are located in the
bit 6 and bit 5 of the Auto Power Control Register I. Also, the active high/low logic of the
RING can be programmed through bit 4 of this register. In reality, while PWRGD is low,
the detection of RING pulse lasting for more than 4ms would activate the ONCTL#. While
PWRGD is high, the detection of RING pulse would wake up the Legacy PMU or ACPI to
put the system back to the higher activity mode. Please refer to ACPI section for more
detail on this aspect.
4. Start Request Event (GPIO5 Event):

While the power is removed, a high to low transition on the GPIO5 also indicates a power
up request event which activates ONCTL#. Note that no debouncer is associated with this

signal. This function is enabled by setting APC_EN bit, and STARTREQ_EN bit which are
registered in the bit 6, and bit 3 of Auto Power Control Register I, respectively.
5. Alarm On Event:
When the time value of RTC matches the corresponding time bytes which were set in
advance, the RTC would send an “alarm” to the APC module to activate the ONCTL#. The
SiS Chip supports the 24 hour alarm to a month alarm. Beside the ACPI Extended Alarm
function, SiS chip also supplies an additional alarm function called the “Day of Week
Alarm”. Following are the detail description of these two alarm functions:
(a) ACPI Extended Alarm Function: The ACPI Extended Alarm Function can set the
alarm by the day within a month or the month within a year. The Day of the Month and
the Month Alarms bytes are stored in the register 7Eh and 7Fh of RTC Standard Bank.
To enable this function the APC_EN bit in APC Register I must be enabled.
(b) Day of Month Alarm Function: The Day of Month Alarm Function can set the alarm by
the day within a week. With this additional feature, the SiS Chip allows the system to
be alarmed up on, say, each Monday 08:00. The Day of the Week Alarm byte is located
in the register 2h of the APC registers. Note that this feature is enabled when
DayWeekAlarm_EN bit located in the bit 0 of the Day of the Week Alarm Register,
and the APC_EN bit are both set. ACPI extended alarm function is the default alarm
mode once the APC_EN bit is set. However, the ACPI extended alarm mode is
replaced by the Day of the Week alarm mode once the DayWeekAlarm_EN bit is set.
(3) While in the power up state, the following events can power down the PC main board by
the deassertion of ONCTL#. They are Switch Off event (via SWITCH), Software Power Off
Request Event (via register bit of SiS Chip), and Power-Button-Over-Ride (via PWRBT#).
Following is the detail description of these events:
1.Switch Off Event:

A schmitt trigger input buffer and a debounce protection of at least 30ms is associated with
the SWITCH pin. When PWRGD is high, an active low pulse on the SWITCH signal for
more than 30ms indicates a request from Switch Off Request Event, then the ONCTL# will
be deasserted to high in order to power off the VCC5 of ATX power supply. An Switch on
Request event asserts the ONCTL# while An Switch off request event deasserts ONCTL#.
2. Software Power Off Request Event:

SiS Chip also provide two software means to control the ONCTL# signal. One is to
programming a “1” to SLP_EN bit (ACPI:04h[6]) and “100” (S5 state) to SLP_TYP bit
(ACPI:04h[4:2]), the other is to program a “1” to APC_EN bit (APC: I[6]) and Power Off
System Control bit (PCI-ISA:69h[4]). System will be powered off if any of these two
settings was set. In other words, ONCTL# will be deasserted to high.
3. Power-Button-Over-Ride Event:
If push the Power Button over 4 seconds, a Power-Button-Over-Ride event happened. The
SiS chip will deassert the ONCTL# if Power-Button-Over-Ride event happened, and turn
off the system power eventually. Please note that this is a hardware implemented function,
and do not need the special support from the BIOS.

(4) SiS chip supplies a special pin, GPIO10/ACPILED, to facilitate the Green PC denote-LED
design. If this pin is in its output mode (APC II[3] = 0), and pin definition is ACPILED (APC
II[1] = 1), and 1 Hz Function Support is enabled (APC II[0] = 1), and ACPI function is
enabled (PCI to ISA:40h[7] = 1), then SiS chip will send out an 1 Hz signal on this pin to turn
on/off the external LED whenever GPIO10 pin status register (ACPI:18h[10]) is set to 1.
3.6.8 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is PC 97 specification. ACPI extends the
portability for different platforms by moving the power management function into the OS.
ACPI also releases the restriction of ROM BIOS capacity on the complexity of the advanced
power management functions. The power management events of ACPI are initiated by the
assertion of System Control Interrupt (SCI). System uses SCI to send ACPI-relevant
notifications to the host OS, and then OS executes the specific service sub-routines according
to which enable bit and status bit were set.
The ACPI architecture in SiS chip consists of the control logic, the SCI/SMI# generating logic,
the wake up logic, and the configuration registers to ensure fluent communication with the
ACPI-compliant OS. The control logic is used by OS to alternate some state transitions. The
SCI/SMI# generating logic sensing the external environmental change or request is used to
notify the OS to take some actions. The wakeup logic will sequence the system from the
sleeping state (S1) to the G0 working state. Following table summaries the ACPI configuration
space supported by SiS chip:

Control Logic
From ACPI specification, SiS chip supports the four global system states (G0-G3),
and the traditional Legacy system state as it is shown in the Figure 3-15. The ACPI-compliant
OS assumes the responsibility of sequencing the platform between these various global states.
The ACPI-compliant OS is invoked by the shareable interrupt to which SCI is routed. The
reroutability of SCI is through the programming of register 6Ah of the PCI to ISA
configuration space. Transition of Legacy to/from ACPI is through issuing ACPI
activate/deactivate command to the SMI handler by doing OUT to the SMI_CMD port with
the data equal to the value defined in SMI_PEN, or SMI_PDIS registers, respectively.

ACPI machine would stay at G0 working state as the normal operating state in which
different devices are dynamically transiting between the respective power states, and
processors are dynamically transiting between their respective states (C0,C1,C2,C3) .In the G0

state, two global state transition options are provided. One is the G1 sleeping state, and the
other is the G2 soft -off state. SiS chip only supports two level of system sleeping states which
are S1, and S5. In reality, the system G1 sleeping state only consists of one level ( S1 only ) of
hierarchy in the sense of sleeping states. The OS can initiate the sleeping transition by
programming the SLP_TYPx field with S1 value and then setting SLP_ENx bit high. While in
the G1 state, a set of Wake_Up Events(explained in the Wakeup logic) can be enabled to
transit the system state back to G0. The G2 soft-off state is an OS initiated system shutdown.
The State can be initiated by programming the SLP_TYPx field with S5 value and setting the
SLP_ENx bit high. Also, a hardware event which is driven by pressing the power button for
more than four seconds can transit the system to the G2 state while it is in the G0 state. This
hardware event is called a power button over-ride, and is mainly provided to turn off a hung
system in case. Putting system in the G2 state will deassert ONCTL# eventually from hardware
point of view.
G1 Sleeping System State --- S1

Transit to S1 state is by setting SLP_EN bit HIGH. All system power is still alive in this state.
The external CPU clock can be disabled(or stopped) through GPO6. A set of Wake_UP
Events can be enabled, before entering S1, to wake up the system back to G0 state. Figure 3-
16 is the typical sequence responding to enter S1 state. Details of the Wake_UP Events is
illustrated in the Wakeup Logic.

is activated once the CPU exits the SMI handler.
2. Reserve 8 to 16ms for the emulation of Stpgnt latency.
3. While in the Stpgnt state, the wake up events would deassert GPO6.
4. Reserve 16 to 24ms from the exiting of Stpgnt to the deassertion of STPCLK#.
5. Wak_Sts could be cleared by writing a 1 to bit 15 of the base+0 register.
Figure 3-16 Typical GPO6 Timing
G2 Soft-off State:
In the G2 state, only the RTC power is alive. While in the G2 state, the SiS chip could sense
the following five power up events to transit the system to the Legacy system state by asserting
the ONCTL#. They are Alarm On event, Power On(PWRBTN#) event, Ring Up event, Start

Request event(GPIO5), and the Switch On/Off event(SWITCH). Please see the APC portion
of the RTC module for more details.
Processor Power State Control

SiS chip supports the four power states in the G0 working state. While in the C0 state, it
provides programmable Throttling function to place the processor executing at a designated
performance level relative to its max. performance. This can be achieved by programming the
THTL_DUTY field (ACPI:0Ch[3:1]) with desired value, and setting THT_EN bit
(ACPI:0Ch[4]) HIGH. The C1 state is supported through the HLT instruction. As an instance,
the execution of a HALT instruction will cause the Pentium CPU to automatically enter the
Auto HALT Power down state where Icc of the processor will be -20% of the Icc in the
Normal state. In this state, the CPU will transit to the Normal state upon the occurrence of
INTR, NMI, SMI#, RESET, or INIT. The Pentium won’t recognize AHOLD, BOFF#, and
EADS# for cache invalidation or writebacks. That is, the system is no longer able to allow bus
master snooping, or memory access. As such, C2 low power state provides an alternative not
to block bus master streaming while the CPU is put into the low power state.
In the C2 power state, SiS chip places the processor into the low power state by keeping
STPCLK# low as long as no interrupt requests occur. Entering C2 state is through reading
P_LVL2 register (ACPI:10h) as it is defined in the ACPI specification. Exiting C2 is effective
when Wakeup1 is asserted (Wakeup1 is an internal signal, and will be asserted when any of the
enabled interrupt(IRQ15-3, IRQ1,and NMI),GPCS0, or the GPCS1 is asserted.). Register 74,
and 75 in the PCI to ISA configuration space defines which interrupt requests among the
IRQ15-3,1, and NMI. are considered(or enabled) to generate Wakeup1. Bit 1 of register 63h,
and bit 1 of register 64h enables/disables GPCS0, and GPCS1, respectively to be included in
the generation of Wakeup1. The IRQ0 interrupt request is also allowed, if IRQ0SEN
(ACPI:0Ch[6]) is set, to deassert STPCLK# for about 128us when in C2 or C3 state to refresh
the system timer.
As a more rigid or flexible alternative to the handling of bus master in the CPU low power
state, SiS chip supports the C3 power state by also keeping STPCLK# low, which can be
entered by reading P_LVL3 register (ACPI:11h). The main difference between C3 and C2
state is that the bus masters are preventing from writing into the memory in the C3 state. This
is, prior to entering the C3 state, done by setting the ARB_DIS bit (ACPI:12h[0]) HIGH
which disables the system arbiter. Upon a bus master requesting an access, the CPU will
awaken from C3 state if the BM_RLD bit (ACPI: 05h[1])is set, and re-enable bus master
accesses by clearing the ARB_DIS to enable the system arbiter. If the BM_RLD bit is not set,
the C3 power state is not exited upon bus master requests. From hardware point of view, in
the C3 state, to serve bus master requests, it is needed to transit the CPU back to C0 state by
deasserting STPCLK# while it is not needed for C2 state. Any interrupt(Wakeup1) will also
bring the processor out of C3 power state. Specifically, SiS chip will bring the processor out of
C2 or C3 state once G1 sleeping state is entered. Because, CPU processor state is only
meaningful in the G0 Working state. To provide a running history for the ACPI driver to
determine CPU power state policy, one last information BM_STS (ACPI: 01h[4]) is provided.
The BM_STS is set whenever any bus master request (REQ# ) is asserted. Figure 3-17
illustrates the processor power state diagrams supported by SiS chip.

SCI/SMI# Generation Logic
The SCI generation logic mainly issues the SCI interrupt to invoke the SCI interrupt handler to
respond to the power management events. These power management events, instead of
initiating SCI, will issue SMI# if the system works in Legacy mode with SCI_EN being 0. As a
summary, the following events can raise SCI or SMI#, and can also be enabled as the wakeup
events while in the G1 state.
1) Power management timer event,

2) Power button event,
3) Real time clock alarm event,
4) Ring event,
5) Hotkey event(or EXTSMI#),
6) General purpose timer event,
7) USB request event,
8) General purpose I/O events(GPIO0,
GPIO1,GPIO2,GPIO5/STARTREQ,GPIO7,
GPIO8,GPIO9/THRM,and GPIO10).
One specific event which is BIOS_SCI event only generates SCI. The BIOS_SCI event is
provided to allow the BIOS to invoke SCI handler for some specific application. By writing a
1 to BIOS_RLS locating in the bit 10 of GPIO_MUX1, the GBL_STS status bit is set. The
SCI will then be generated if GBL_EN bit (ACPI: 03h[5]) is set.

There are also five events that only generate SMI#. The generation of SMI# through these
events is independent to the status of SCI_EN bit.
1) ACPI enable event,

2) ACPI disable event,
3) Serial IRQ event,
4) Periodic SMI event, and
5) ACPI_SMI event
While working in the Legacy system state, the events provided in the legacy PMU block are
also the sources of generating SMI# as a backward compatibility. Therefore, the users can
choose ACPI or Legacy PMU on their own need. Please refer to Figure 3-18 for more
information.

The following paragraphs describe some power management events:
Power management timer

The ACPI specification requires a power management timer (PM timer) which provides OS an
accurate time value to monitor the system idle time. For instance, if CPU idle time is longer
than the threshold value, OS may let CPU enter power saving state like C1, C2, C3. The PM
timer is a 24-bit fixed rate free running count-up timer that runs off a 3.578545 Mhz clock in
the SiS chipset. The status bit TMR_STS (ACPI:00h[0]) is set when the most significant bit of
the timer (bit 23) is changed from “1” to “0” or from “0” to “1”. If the enable bit TMR_EN
(ACPI:02h[0]) is set, then the setting of TMR_STS will raise an ACPI event. The current
value of the timer can also be accessed by reading TMR_VAL register (ACPI: 09h-0Bh). The
timer will be cleared as long as the system stays at S1 sleeping state. Please refer to the Figure
3-19 Power management Timer Flow Chart for the power management timer event flow chart.

Power Button switch

This switch is an user interface control instead of the traditional power supplier switch. It can
be used to cycle the system between the G0 and G1 states through the power management
event. Besides, the power button provides user a “Fail-safe” mechanism to force the system to
enter the G2 state (Soft-Off) when the system has “Hung”, called the power button override.
An 1ms debouncer associated with the power button is used to recognize and respond to the
active low logic presented on the pin for more than 1ms. If the PWRBT# is pressed for more
than 4 seconds, the SiS chip will turn off the system power by deasserting the ONCTL#.
If the PWRBT# is released within 4 seconds then only the PWRBTN_STS bit (ACPI:00h[8])
will be set. If the PWRBTN_EN bit (ACPI:02h[8]) is also enabled, an SMI or SCI will be
raised. Please refer to the Figure 3-20 Power Button Switch Flow Chart for the power button
event flow chart.

Real time clock alarm
It is required to extend the current RTC definition of a 24-hour alarm to a one-month-alarm in
ACPI specification. To extending the alarm bytes, SiS chip supports both the “Day Alarm”,
and “Month Alarm” function. The Day Alarm byte, and Month Alarm byte are located in the
7Eh, and 7Fh of the Standard Bank of the RTC CMOS RAM, respectively. The OS will
attempt to identify the RTC as a possible power management event source by checking the
RTC_EN bit (ACPI:02h[10]) and RTC_STS bit (ACPI:00h[10]). Note that the RTC_STS bit
will be set by the external IRQ8# if external RTC is used. Users can set any specific time to
generate an SCI if system is in the working state, or a wake-up event if system is in the
sleeping state. Please refer to Figure 3-21 RTC Alarm Flow Chart for the RTC alarm event

Ring, USB, Serial IRQ
Because the power management is controlled by OS in ACPI system, it is important to know
that there is an event from the peripheral devices. The SiS chipset offers many hardware pins
and internal detection to provide designers some flexible implementations. They are Ring,
USB, Serial IRQ and GPIOs.
Two debouncers are associated with the RING to allow two possible modes of activation. The
default mode supports 150ms detection on the RING signal while the other mode supports
frequency between 14Hz to 70Hz. These two modes can be selected via ACPI:1Ch[0].
For ring detection, the RI_STS bit (ACPI:14h[0]) will be set if the ring signal is sensed
asserted. If the RI_EN bit (ACPI:16h[0]) is also enabled, then the power management event
will be generated. Please refer to Figure 3-22 Ring Flow Chart for the ring event flow chart.

General Purpose I/O(GPIOx) Events:

SiS chip provides eleven pins to support general purpose I/O function. Three(GPO3, GPO4,
and GPO6 are output only) The rest(GPIO[2:0],GPIO5,GPIO[10:7]) are bidirectional. The
input/output attribute of these pins can be programmed through setting or resetting the
corresponding bits of the GPIO_SEL1, and GPIO_SEL2 registers. By default, all the GPIO
pins are input. While in the input mode, the “active logic” level can be programmed through
GPIO_LVL1, and GPIO_LVL2 registers. The default active level is low. When the active level
is sensed on the GPIO pin, the corresponding status bit in the GPIO_STS1, or GPIO_STS2 is
set. Then, the SCI, or SMI# is generated if the corresponding enable bit in the GPIO_EN1, or
GPIO_EN2 is set. Writing a 1 to the status bit can clear the bit. In addition, the input level of
each GPIO pins can be directly read back by reading the corresponding bit in the GPIO_CNT1

or GPIO_CNT2 registers. While in the output mode, the logic of each GPIO pin can be
controlled by writing the desired value to the corresponding bit in the GPIO_CNT1 or
GPIO_CNT2 registers to control the peripheral device power, for instance.
Hotkey Event
When internal keyboard controller is enabled, the HOTKY_STS will be set if the
“CTRL+ALT+Backspace“ is recognized. Then SCI/SMI# is generated if HOTKY_EN
(ACPI:17h[1]). is set. The HOTKY_STS (ACPI:15h[1]) can also be set once the
TURBO/EXTSMI# is activated. The active level of TURBO/EXTSMI# can be programmed
through bit 3 of GPIO_LVL1. register.
Thermal Detection
SiS chipset can program GPIO9 for the thermal detection input THRM#. A 1ms debouncer is
used to sense the status of THRM#. When the logic of the THRM# matches the
programming active level, the STPCLK# is throttled if the THRM_THEN bit (bit 3 of
register 1Ch) is set. The throttling will be stopped if the THRM# goes back to the inactive
state as a result of the system temperature may be cooled down. Note that it is not necessary to
set the THT_EN bit for throttling the STPCLK# in response to the THRM# request. If
THRM# is asserted, the system can be programmed to enter the throttling mode directly or
generate an SCI/SMI instead. These two options can be selected by the thermal throttling
function bit (ACPI:1Ch[3]). Please refer to Figure 3-25 Thermal Detection Flow Chart for the

CPU low power state
The greatest power consumption component in a system is CPU. There is a great power saving
if CPU enters the low power state or turns off when it is idle. The SiS chipset supports the C0-
C3 CPU power states. In C1 state, system sends halt command to CPU through software in
ACPI configuration register. In C2 and C3 state, system halt the CPU by asserting the
STPCLK#. However, the Bus Master can still access the DRAM in the C2 state. In the C3
state, CPU should go back to C0 for the Bus Master accessing. Please refer to Figure 3-26

General purpose timer and period SMI
General purpose timer is a 8 bits down counter. Its time slot is 1us or 1 min. General purpose
timer can be programmed as Suspend timer or BIOS Timer(ACPI:1Ch[11]). After writing
counter values, it begin to count. If using as Suspend timer and there is no any reload events
(Host-PCI:90h,91h) happened, the timer will time out eventually. There is a power
management event when timer is time out. The function of Suspend timer is similiar to System
Standby Timer. However, Suspend Timer can assert SCI or SMI but System Standby Timer
can only assert SMI.
Period SMI can generate SMI# every 16 sec if the PERSMI_EN (ACPI:26h[2]) is set. This
allows the SMI# handler to periodically give warning to the user for delivering the “low
battery” message, for instance.
These two functions do not belong to standard ACPI but for the convenience and variety of
power management design. Please refer to Figure 3-28 and Figure 3-29 for more information.

The ACPI_SMI event, similar to the BIOS_SCI, is provided for the ACPI handler to invoke
SMI# handler. Writing a 1 to GBL_RLS(bit 0 of AUX_STS1 register) will set the BIOS_STS
bit, and generate SMI# if BIOS_EN bit is set..
Wakeup Logic
When in the G1(or S1) system state, the events that generates SCI or SMI# in the G0 state can
be programmed to serve as the wakeup events while the system is in G1 state.
Any of the enabled wakeup events will set the wake status bit(WAK_STS) which allows the
ACPI driver to separate sleeping from waking code. As mentioned in the preceding, activating
Wakeup1 will also set the WAK_STS bit, and awake the system.

One difference among them is that any power button press will unconditionally set the
PWRBTN_STS bit and awakens the system, regardless of the value of the PWRBTN_EN bit
while in the G1 sleeping state.

3.7 Integrated PCI Master/Slave IDE Controller

Overview
SiS Chip supports a full function PCI IDE controller capable of PIO, DMA and Ultra DMA/33
mode operation. It can be supported by programming the internal registers to support PIO
Mode 0 ~ 4, Single/Multi-Word DMA Mode 0 ~ 2 and Ultra DMA Mode 0 ~ 2 timing.
The IDE Controller block diagram is shown as below:

Figure 3-30 IDE Controller Block Diagram
There are two 64-byte FIFO associated with two IDE channels. The data can be popped into
FIFO by the unit of word or double-word. All accesses to the IDE data port will go through
FIFO, no matter prefetch/postwrite is enabled or not. Accesses to the command or control port
will bypass FIFO. This mechanism allows the host to access command or control ports when
FIFO is not empty. The FIFO has an option to be 32-byte in depth(from Register 52h bit 0 in
PCI IDE configuration space), which is for backward compatibility only and is suggested not

to be used. SiS Chip provides the 64-byte FIFO mainly to support Ultra-DMA. Because the
Ultra-DMA can be operated at twice the speed of traditional DMA in mode-2, a small FIFO
may easily become bottleneck and degrade system performance.
The host may need to access command or control ports when PIO mode or DMA mode data
transfer is undergoing. The IDE controller provides a mechanism to complete the
command/control port access without disrupting the operation of FIFO.
In PIO mode, when doing postwrite, the command/control port access is held-off until the
FIFO is flushed to IDE. When doing prefetch, the command/control access is held-off until the
FIFO is full. Before the command/control port access is actually carried out, the host will be
keep waiting on PCI bus.
In DMA mode, the command/control access will go through a higher priority than the DMA
data transfer cycles. When the command/control access cycle is first seen on the PCI bus, the
controller will retry the cycle so that PCI bus will not be used by the host while it is only
waiting. At the same time, the controller will suspend the DMA data transfer cycles by
completing the current cycle successfully, then de-asserts IDACK# to inform IDE device to
stop the DMA data transfer. The IDE device may or may not deassert its IDREQ at this
moment. On the other hand, the host should keep retrying the command/control cycle on PCI
bus. Eventually the cycle will be accepted and carried out when DMA data transfer is stopped.
After the command/control cycle is completed, the controller resumes DMA data transfer
cycles as soon as the IDE device asserts IDREQ.
Both primary and secondary channels may be programmed as Native mode or Compatibility
mode via the Class Code Field in the controller's Configuration Space register.
In Compatibility mode, the interrupt requests for channel 0 and channel 1 are rerouted to IRQ
14 and IRQ 15 of the built-in Interrupt Controller.
Following table illustrates the accessing methods to the I/O ports in compatibility mode:
Primary Channel:

176 1 0 1 0 1 0
177 1 0 1 0 1 0
376 0 1 1 0 1 0
In Native mode, the interrupt requests of both channels (channel 0 and channel 1) share the
same PCI interrupt pin. The interrupt pin may be rerouted to any one of eleven ISA compatible
interrupts (IRQ[15:14], IRQ[12:9], and IRQ[7:3]) via programming Register 61h bits 3:0 in
PCI to ISA bridge Configure space.
Meanwhile, accessing of the I/O ports are via the addresses programmed in Base Address
Registers 10h~13h, 14h~17h, 18h~1Bh and 1Ch~1Fh in PCI IDE configuration space.
While serving as a bus master device, the IDE controller may transfer data between IDE
devices and main memory directly. By performing the DMA transfer, IDE offloads the CPU
and improves system performance. Bus master DMA programming is according to the
information specification "Programming Interface for Bus Master IDE Controller".
The integrated IDE controller contains PCI configuration header and registers to meet PCI 2.1
specifications. The integrated PCI IDE controller supports PCI type 0 configuration cycles of
configuration mechanism #1.
Proper cycle timing is generated to meet PCI Bus speed and different modes of IDE drive. All
cycle timing can be controlled by software programming from Register 40h to Register 49h in
PCI IDE configuration space.
As a slave device, IDE decodes and interprets PCI cycles and generate signals to start and
terminate IDE cycles. This block responds only to cycles that belong to IDE I/O address space.
It supports both 16-bit and 32-bit I/O data transfer at address 1F0/170. All other IDE registers
read or write operations are 8-bit only.
PIO mode operation
The IDE controller is capable of doing prefetch or postwrite in PIO mode. The count(in bytes)
of prefetch length for each channel can be programmed in Prefetch Count Registers 4Ch~4Dh
and 4Eh~4Fh in PCI IDE Configuration space. Normally, the count will be programmed as
512(29), which is the size of a single sector. The prefetch and postwrite functions can be
enabled or disabled independently through control bits in Register 4Bh of PCI IDE
configuration space. When prefetch is enabled, the controller will start prefetching when the
first read data port command is received. It will keep prefetching until the FIFO is full or when
prefetch count is reached. Whenever the FIFO becomes non-empty again, the prefetch will
automatically resume until the prefetch count is reached.
When postwrite is enabled, the host can write data to FIFO in word- or Dword- increment.
The IDE controller will automatically start IDE write cycles as long as FIFO is non-empty.
When the fast postwrite function is enabled, the write IDE data port command on PCI bus will
last for 3 PCI clocks only. When disabled, the PCI command will be 5 PCI clocks.
DMA mode operation
There is a DMA engine associated with each channel. The DMA engine can be invoked by
writing the start-bit in Bus Master command register. The DMA engine will first request for
PCI bus to read the descriptor from memory, load the address pointer and byte-count. For IDE
read operation, the controller will start prefetching data into FIFO at this moment. When FIFO
is half-full (or 75% full, programmable), the DMA engine will request for PCI bus to flush the
data in FIFO to memory. If the prefetch count is reached while the FIFO is not yet half-full, the
DMA engine will also request for PCI bus to flush the FIFO. For write operation, after
descriptor is read, the DMA engine will again request for PCI bus to read data from memory
to FIFO. At the same time, when the FIFO becomes non-empty, the controller will
automatically start IDE write cycles to flush data in FIFO to IDE device. When data in FIFO is
less than eight bytes, the DMA engine will again request for PCI bus to re-fill the FIFO.
Normally, the byte-count loaded in IDE controller will be equal to IDE transfer size
programmed to IDE devices. If the two values were programmed differently, the IDE
controller and the software that driving IDE should work together to prevent system from
failure.
When the DMA engine is writing IDE
If the byte-count was programmed to be greater than the IDE transfer size, the IDE device will
de-assert IDREQ signal when the transfer size is reached and issue interrupt to IDE controller.
The IDE controller will pass transparently the interrupt to host. When the host clears the start-
bit in response to the interrupt, the IDE controller will simply discard the remaining data in
FIFO. When the host read the status bit, it will see the interrupt bit set and active bit also set.
This will be interpreted as a normal ending. If the byte-count was programmed to be less than
the IDE transfer size, the controller will exhaust its data in FIFO while IDREQ signal is still
asserting. The host should time-out because it does not receive any interrupt. When the host
reads the status register, it will see the interrupt bit not set and the active bit set.
When the DMA engine is reading IDE
If the byte-count was programmed to be greater than the IDE transfer size, the IDE device will
de-assert IDREQ signal when the transfer size is reached and issue interrupt to IDE controller.
The IDE controller should mask the interrupt, request for PCI bus to flush all the data in FIFO

to memory. After the FIFO is empty, the controller will unmask the interrupt to inform host
that all data is visible in memory. The host, after received the interrupt, will read the status
register and see the interrupt bit set and active bit also set. This will be interpreted as a normal
ending.
If the byte count was programmed to be less than the IDE transfer size, the IDE controller will
stop prefetching when its byte-count has reached while IDREQ signal is still asserted by
device. The controller may or may not flush its data in FIFO to memory, depending on whether
the FIFO has reached its request level or not. The host will eventually be time-out because it
does not receive any interrupt. When the host reads the status register, it will see the interrupt
bit not set and the active bit set. The remaining data in FIFO will be discarded when the host
clears the start-bit.
Ultra-DMA/33 Operation
Ultra DMA is a fast data transfer protocol used on IDE bus. By utilizing both the rising edge
and the falling edge of the data strobe signal to latch data from DD[15:0], the data transfer rate
is effectively doubled than that of the traditional multi-word DMA while the highest
fundamental frequency on the cable is the same. In view of the faster transfer rate on IDE bus
may easily fill the FIFO up when reading IDE device, in such condition the IDE bus will be idle
and result in system performance degradation, SiS Chip lengthens the internal FIFO for each
channel (channel 0/channel 1) to 16-Dword to improve system performance. When the FIFO is
half-full (or 3/4-full, programmable), the DMA engine should request for PCI bus by asserting
an internal request signal to system arbiter. The system arbiter, based on an algorithm
described in the previous sections, shall grant the PCI bus to DMA engine by asserting an
internal grant signal to it. Ideally, the FIFO should never be full during data-in operation so
that the burst data transfers on IDE will not be suspended. When the IDE controller is
transferring data from system memory to IDE, the DMA engine will initiate PCI burst cycles to
read data from memory into FIFO until FIFO is full. The FIFO will decrease at the rate of the
selected Ultra DMA mode as the IDE controller doing data-out operation. In the best
situation, the FIFO should not be empty during data-out operation otherwise the burst data
transfer on IDE will be suspended.
The Ultra-DMA mode can be enabled on a per-device basis and all three timing modes(0-2) are
supported by programming the corresponding configuration registers. For Ultra-DMA
operations, the following signal lines shall change to their new definition when IDACK# is
asserted. These signals will revert back to their old definitions right after IDACK# is de-
asserted.
The following table shows the signal line difference between old definition and new definition
(Ultra DMA).
Old Definition New Definition

IIOW# STOP#
IIOR# HDMARDY# --- data in operation
HSTROBE --- data out operation
ICHRDY# DSTROBE --- data in operation
DDMARDY# --- data out operation
There are three phases for an Ultra-DMA operation as defined in the protocol: Burst Initiation
phase, Data Transfer phase and Burst Termination phase. The Burst Initiation phase is always
initiated by the device when it asserts IDREQ. The SiS Chip will responds IDACK# after the
base address and byte-count in the PRD table entry is read from system memory. During Data
Transfer phase, either the sender or the receiver can pause a burst to allow for internal data
processing and then resume the burst some time later. There are three situations that SiS Chip
will pause a burst:
1. As a sender during data-out operation and the internal FIFO is empty. The burst will
resume after the DMA engine re-fill the FIFO with data from system memory.
2. As a receiver during data-in operation and the internal FIFO is full. The burst will resume
after the DMA engine dump the data in FIFO to system memory.
3. For a PRD table with multiple entries, the DMA engine will start the burst data transfer
after base address and byte-count of one entry is read. When the data transfer for the
current entry is completed and the next entry has not yet been read into the controller, the
SiS Chip shall also initiate a pause. After the base address and byte-count for next entry is
read, the burst resumes.
The Burst Termination phase can be initiated by either the SiS Chip or the device. In normal
situations, when the data transfer has reached the byte-count as defined in the last entry of the
PRD table, the SiS Chip will initiate a burst termination by asserting STOP#. After the
termination is acknowledged by the device and HSTROBE signal return to the asserted state,
the CRC will be sent on negation of IDACK#. There are two additional situations that the SiS
Chip will also initiate a burst termination:
1. During the burst data transfer, the host(CPU) is trying to access the command/control
block registers. Since the command/control block access cycle is assigned to have higher
priority than data transfer cycles, the SiS Chip must first terminate the burst, de-asserts the
IDACK# signal, generate the corresponding DA[2:0] and CS[1:0] on IDE bus, and then
complete the command/control block register access cycle. After that, the burst can be
resumed by entering the Burst Initiation phase when the device re-asserts IDREQ.
2. Since the usage of the IDE/ISA bus is arbitrated among PCI-to-ISA cycle, ISA masters
and IDE controllers. Once the PCI-to-ISA cycle or the ISA masters gains higher priority
on the bus and need to access the ISA bus, the IDE controller must yield. In such cases,
when Ultra-DMA mode is operating, the controller will initiate a burst termination. After
the preempting cycles are finished, the Ultra-DMA burst can be resumed.

3.8 Delayed Transaction
Delayed transaction is a mechanism used when the target, like PCI-to-ISA bridge in SiS Chip
on behalf of the ISA devices, cannot complete the transaction within the initial latency of 16
PCI clocks. To support delayed transaction function, the PCI-to-ISA bridge would latch all the
information required to complete the transaction and then terminate the master with a retry.
The PCI-to-ISA bridge will then translate the request into ISA cycle to obtain the requested
data for a read transaction or complete the actual request if a write request. During this period
the original master would keep retrying the cycles while other PCI masters are also allowed to
use the bus that would normally be wasted holding the original master in wait states.
Eventually, the original master would get the latched data for read transaction, or complete the
cycle for the write transaction when the PCI-to-ISA bridge completes the ISA cycles.
Delayed Transaction and ISA Master Cycle Arbitration
ISA devices or DMA controller embedded in the PCI-to-ISA bridge of SiS Chip may become
ISA master and initiate cycles to access PCI bus. It is quite often that the ISA master may
request for ISA bus while there is a delayed transaction undergoing. As a result, an arbitration
rule is adopted in the PCI-to-ISA bridge to prevent conflict on the ISA bus. In this section, we
will first describe the actions of an ISA master cycle, and next outline the arbitration rules. For
convenience, the progress of a delayed transaction cycle will be divided into three phases:
DT_PH_1, DT_PH_2 and DT_PH_3.
T1 T3 T1 T3
PCI BUS
T2 T2
ISA BUS
DT_PH_1 DT_PH_2 DT_PH_3 DT_PH_1 DT_PH_2 DT_PH_3 DT_PH_1
: BUS BUSY PERIOD
T1: A new delayed transaction is accepted

T2: The delayed transaction is completed on ISA bus
T3: Original master completes the delayed transaction cycle
DT_PH_1: This is the period when there is no pending delayed transaction in progress
DT_PH_2: This is the period when the ISA cycle corresponding to the delayed transaction is
undergoing on ISA bus.
DT_PH_3: From the end of ISA cycle up to the original PCI master successfully retries and
completes the whole delayed transaction.

Note: the delayed transaction is said to be pending during DT_PH_2 and DT_PH_3.
Traditionally, ISA(DMA) masters request ISA bus by asserting their corresponding DREQs to
DMA controller embedded in the PCI-to-ISA bridge. The PCI-to-ISA bridge, in turn, will
generate PHOLD# to system arbiter to request for PCI bus. The PHOLD# will be asserted as
long as DREQ is asserted by the ISA master. In response to PHOLD#, the system arbiter
grants PCI bus to PCI-to-ISA bridge by asserting PHLDA#. The PCI-to-ISA bridge, upon
receiving PHLDA#, will first check if ISA bus is busy or idle. If busy, it will defer the assertion
of DACK# until ISA bus returns to idle. If idle, it will assert the corresponding DACK#
immediately to inform ISA master to start. ISA master when received DACK#, can then start
its cycles transferring data to or from PCI(ISA) bus. When ISA master finishes its cycles, it de-
asserts DREQ and then PHOLD# will also be de-asserted immediately. The system arbiter, in
response to the desertion of PHOLD#, will immediately de-assert PHLDA#. This completes
the whole sequence of ISA master cycles.
Note: PHOLD# and PHLDA#, in SiS Chip, are internal signals interfaced between the system
arbiter and the PCI-to-ISA bridge.
Delayed Transaction and ISA Master Arbitration Rule

1. When ISA master issues DREQ and there is no pending delayed transaction, this is the
normal case that no arbitration is needed and the PCI-to-ISA bridge behaves exactly as that
stated above.
2. When ISA master issues DREQ and there is currently a delayed transaction pending, the
PCI-to-ISA bridge will disregard the pending delayed transaction and immediately generate
PHOLD# to request for PCI bus.
3. When the system arbiter grants PCI bus to ISA master by asserting PHLDA#, and the
delayed transaction is in DT_PH_2, i.e., the ISA bus is busy, the PCI-to-ISA bridge should
defer the assertion of DACK# until DT_PH_3 is entered. Otherwise, ISA master will start
its cycles as soon as DACK# is asserted and may result in ISA bus conflict.
4. If PHLDA# is asserted when the pending delayed transaction is already in DT_PH_3, ie., the
ISA bus has returned to idle, the PCI-to-ISA bridge can assert DACK# immediately and
hence ISA master may start its cycles even when the delayed transaction is not yet
completed on PCI bus.
5. During the period that ISA master is active and delayed transaction is pending in DT_PH_3,
the original PCI master that initiated the dalayed transaction will temporarily stop retrying
on the PCI bus because PCI bus is now owned by ISA master.
6. After the ISA master finishes its data transfers, the original PCI master should eventually re-
gain PCI bus and retry successfully.

3.9 The Architecture of ISA/IDE Multiplexed bus
SiS Chip interfaces to IDE bus and ISA bus through multiplexed pins. The data bus IDA[15:0]
of IDE channel_0 share pins with SD[15:0] of ISA bus, while the data bus IDEB[15:0] of IDE
channel_1 share pins with LA[23:17] and SA[16:8] of ISA bus. The resulting bus architecture
interfaced with SiS Chip will be called IDE/ISA bus. The pin-sharing imposes limitation on the
IDE/ISA bus such that IDE and ISA can not be operating simultaneously. As a result, when
either of the IDE channels is operating, the ISA bus activities must be idle. Conversely, when
the ISA bus is used by the PCI-to-ISA bridge or ISA masters, both the IDE channels must not
be operating. There are two exceptions that ISA and IDE can both be operating. One is ISA
refresh cycle initiated by refresh controller embedded in SiS Chip. Since only SA[7:0] and
MEMR# are used during refresh cycles, it is apparent there will be no conflict between ISA
and IDE. The other exception is when the internal registers of legacy ISA bus controllers
(8259, 8237, 8254) are being accessed. These registers located inside the SiS Chip and hence
no external AT cycles will be generated when they are being accessed. Therefore, these
registers can be accessed when IDE is operating.
The IDE bus signals are driven directly by the chip, while the ISA bus signals are further
buffered by 74LS245s. Two 74LS245 are used to interfaced with ISA address signals and two
74LS245 are used to interfaced with ISA data signals. The MR16# signal of ISA is used to
control the direction of address signals to or from ISA slots. When a ISA master gains ISA bus
ownership by asserting MR16#, the direction of address is from ISA to IDE. In all other cases,
the direction of address is from IDE to ISA. During ISA refresh cycles, the ENABLE pins of
the two 74LS245s interfaced with address signals are disabled by the RFH# signal such that
ISA address signals will not appear on IDE and hence IDE operations will not be affected.
The SDOEL and SDOEH signals connect to the DIR pins of 74LS245s and are used to control
the direction of ISA data flow. SDOEL is used to control low-byte, and SDOEH is used to
control high-byte. When the two signals are high, the direction of ISA data flow is from IDE to
ISA. When the two signals are low, the direction of ISA data flow is from ISA to IDE. When
either of the IDE channels is operating, the SDOEL and SDOEH will be both high such that
the data direction is from IDE to ISA. When PCI-to-ISA bridge or ISA master is active,
SDOEL and SDOEH will be depending on the read/write status of the current transaction.
The above mechanism assumes that ISA devices located on ISA slots will not be affected by
IDE signals propagate through the 74LS245s and appear on ISA address/data buses when IDE
is operating, since the DIR signals will park the 74LS245s in the IDE-to-ISA direction.
To arbitrate the IDE and ISA bus, SiS Chip has developed an arbitration scheme on the
IDE/ISA bus. By taking advantage of the arbitration scheme, IDE controller and ISA devices
can each get a fair share of bus usage. The arbitration scheme will be described in the following
section.

IDE/ISA Bus Limitation
1. The two IDE channels are fully separated and hence can be operating simultaneously
without intervening each other.
2. Due to the limitation of multiplexed pins, when any one of the IDE channel is busy, ISA bus
activities must remain idle. Conversely, when the ISA bus is busy, the two IDE channels must
be idle.
There are three candidates compete for the IDE/ISA bus

1. PCI-to-ISA cycle
2. ISA master
3. IDE controllers (of the two channels)
Basic Rules
1. PCI-to-ISA cycle can preempt IDE cycles immediately

2. ISA master cycles cannot be preempted
3. A simple rotating-priority is adopted for IDE controllers and ISA masters
4. The minimum bandwidth of IDE controller can be guaranteed by programming the minimum
accessed time register(50h~51h) in PCI IDE configuration space.
5. ISA master can preempt IDE controller only when its priority is larger than both IDE
channels.
Arbitration Scheme
1. Since the PCI-to-ISA cycle and ISA master are already arbitrated by the system arbiter of
SiS Chip, it is for sure that they will never be active simultaneously. Therefore, the IDE/ISA
arbitration scheme can rule out this possibility.
2. PCI-to-ISA cycle can interrupt IDE controller immediately. When IDE controller of either
channels detects a PCI-to-ISA cycle is requesting at the PCI-to-ISA bridge, it should suspend
its operation immediately by completing the current IDE cycle. If in DMA mode, it should also
deassert DACK#. The IDE controller should remain in idle state until the PCI-to-ISA cycle is
complete and then resume its operation. The PCI-to-ISA bridge, on the other hand, should
temporarily retry the PCI-to-ISA cycle on PCI bus when any one of the IDE channel is busy. It
keeps retrying the cycle until both IDE channels are in idle state. It is obvious that this rule
favors PCI-to-ISA cycles because IDE multi-sector data transfers are quite often and may last
for a long period of time. If the PCI-to-ISA cycle can not preempt IDE, it may be waiting too
long and result in system failure.
3. ISA master cycles cannot be suspended and then resumed later. Once the ISA master was
granted to initiate its cycles, it must complete the whole process without being interrupted.
4. To solve the arbitration between IDE and ISA master, a rotating priority scheme is adopted
to ensure each of the candidates will get a fair share of bus usage.

Since the ISA master can not be preempted, it can hold the bus as long as it desires. It is likely
that IDE channels will not be able to get a fair share of bus usage when ISA master is heavily
transferring data. As a supplement, the minimum accessed time for IDE channels can be
guaranteed by programming the minimum accessed time register. This 16-bit register defines a
minimum accessed time in terms of PCI clock for IDE. Every IDE data transfer is guaranteed
not to be preempted by ISA master before IDE has used the bus for this amount of time. As
such, the minimum bandwidth of IDE channels can be guaranteed. To count the amount of
time that the bus is used by IDE, there is a granting timer associated with each IDE channel
counting with PCI clock. Initially, the granting timer is loaded with the value of the minimum
accessed time register. For every PCI clock, if the IDE/ISA bus is used by the associated IDE
channel, the granting timer should count-down once. When the timer expires and ISA master is
requesting for bus, the IDE channel should suspend its cycles and yield the bus to ISA master.
The granting timer can be reloaded when ISA master finish using the bus.
Define:
PRIO_ISAM: the priority of ISA master
PRIO_IDE0: the priority of IDE channel_0
PRIO_IDE1: the priority of IDE channel_1
Operation rules for the rotating priority scheme:
• PRIO_ISAM will be the lowest when ISA master finishes its data transfer cycles.
• PRIO_IDE0 will be the lowest when the granting timer of IDE channel_0 expired
• PRIO_IDE1 will be the lowest when the granting timer of IDE channel_1 expired.
• ISA master can only preempt both IDE cycles when
PRIO_ISAM> PRIO_IDE0 and PRIO_ISAM> PRIO_IDE1
Consider the following sequence of events as an example.
Initially, after the system is reset:
PRIO_ISAM > PRIO_IDE0 and PRIO_ISAM > PRIO_IDE1
After the first ISA master cycle transfers:
PRIO_ISAM < PRIO_IDE0 and PRIO_ISAM < PRIO_IDE1
After IDE channel 0 data transfer and its granting timer expires
PRIO_ISAM > PRIO_IDE0 and PRIO_ISAM < PRIO_IDE1
After IDE channel 1 data transfer and its granting timer not yet expires
PRIO_ISAM > PRIO_IDE0 and PRIO_ISAM < PRIO_IDE1

After IDE channel 1 data transfer and its granting timer expires
PRIO_ISAM > PRIO_IDE0 and PRIO_ISAM > PRIO_IDE1
Note that the priority scheme is used to arbitrate bus usage when ISA master and IDE
controller are competing for bus. If there is only one candidate requesting for bus at a time, it
can get the bus immediately regardless of it priority.
3.10 USB Host Controller

The SiS USB Host Controller is developed to support the USB bus as the Host Controller
with built-in Root Hub and 2 USB ports. The SiS USB Host Controller is implemented based
on the OpenHCI, the Open Host Controller Interface Specification for USB Release 1.0.
In order to support the applications and drivers under non-USB aware environments (such as
DOS environment), the SiS USB Host Controller implemented hardware to support the
emulation of a PS/2 keyboard and mouse by their USB equivalents (to the USB keyboard and
USB mouse). This emulation support is done by a set of registers that are controlled by code
running in SMM. The hardware implementation is based on OpenHCI Legacy Support
Interface Specification Release Version 1.01.
The SiS USB Host Controller provides the following major features.
l Provide USB Host Controller function to meet the Universal Serial Bus Specification
version 1.0, with fully compatible to the Open Host Controller Interface Specification for
USB Release 1.0

3.11 Integrated Keyboard Controller
The integrated KBC uses hardwired methodology instead of software implementation as the
traditional 8042 keyboard BIOS. In this way, keyboard controller can have instant response to
all the commands. It also supports Auto A20 gate and Auto Reset Features. Besides, the
integrated KBC has a power control feature. After the [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Backspace] hot keys are
pressed, the system will enter the power saving mode. Moreover, the integrated KBC supports
the industrial standard PS/2 mouse optionally.

Input/Output Buffer
Input Buffer
The input buffer is an 8 bits write only register located at I/O address hex 60 or 64. Writing to
address hex 60 sets a flag, that indicates a data write; writing to address hex 64 sets a flag,
indicating a command write. Data written to I/O address hex 60 is sent to the keyboard, unless
the keyboard controller is expecting a data byte following a controller command. Data should
be written to the controller's input buffer only if the input buffer's full bit in the status register
equal 0. The next command are valid keyboard controller commands.
Output Buffer
The output buffer is an 8 bits read only register at I/O address hex 60. The keyboard controller
uses the output buffer to send scan codes received from the keyboard, and data bytes
requested by command to the system. The output buffer should be read only when output
buffer's full bit in the status register set to 1.

3.12 Integrated VGA Controller

Integrated VGA Controller is a high performance 3-in-1 PCI true-color graphics accelerator
with video accelerate functions. Integrated VGA Controller video accelerator could work in 3
different modes: standard FC (Feature Connector) mode, direct video interface mode, and PCI
multimedia mode.
Furthermore Integrated VGA Controller could work with SW MPEG Player Programs
through DCI driver or Direct Draw driver to provide high performance SW MPEG playback
to meet future PC trends.
In direct video mode, Integrated VGA Controller could work with the Philips SAA7110 /
SAA7111, Sony CXA1790Q, Brooktree Bt815/817/819A (8-bit SPI mode 1, 2), to provide
the PC-Video solution and provide the very flexible overlaying ability mentioned above.
In PCI multimedia mode, Integrated VGA Controller supports PCI multimedia design guide
Rev. 1.0 spec to meet future potential trend.
The following block diagram will be shown the internal VGA controller.

3.12.1 Host Bus Interface
In order to solve the bottleneck of PCI transaction, VGA controller support a dual bus
interface, the PCI bus and HOST bus. With HOST bus, VGA controller can directly intercept
the memory and I/O transactions sent from CPU. VGA controller can gain more benefit from
the HOST bus transaction because the HOST bus support 64 bits and faster clock rate than the
32 bits and lower clock rate of PCI bus. Furthermore, VGA controller would not share the
limited bandwidth of PCI bus with other PCI devices. In current structure , the HOST bus
support the memory write , memory read , video playback decimation and engine I/O write
transaction . The PCI bus transacts the other cycles and transactions from another PCI master.
The HOST bus contains a post write buffer with 8 Qword which can release the HOST bus as
soon as possible after it records the address and data into the post write buffer. The data would
queue in the post write buffer until the display memory is available, and then write into the
display memory.
The VGA controller support the byte merge function which would merge the sequential bytes
from different transactions into one stage of post write buffer. The combining of sequential
bytes memory writes has a significant performance benefits for the memory bandwidth . We

also support the smart write function which would intelligently queue more data in the post
write buffer for a while, and then write into display memory one times. It would save a lot of
display memory bandwidth of memory write. We can program a register bit to determine how
many data would keep in the post write buffer.
The HOST bus support a read ahead cache. When CPU sends the sequential address read
commands, it would always hit in the read cache and response the data as soon as possible. It
also can reduce the access time from display memory.
3.12.2 Attribute Controller

The Attribute Controller formats the display for the screen. Display color selection, text
blinking, alternate font selection, and underlining are performed by the Attribute Controller.
3.12.3 CRT Controller
The CRT Controller generates the HSYNC and VSYNC signals required for the monitor, as
well as BLANK# signals required by the Attribute Controller.
3.12.4 CRT FIFO
The 64x32 CRT FIFO allows the Display Memory Controller to access the display memory for
screen refresh at maximum memory speed rather than at the screen refresh rate. It provides 3
programmable thresholds - CRT/CPU Threshold Low, CRT/CPU Threshold High, and
CRT/Engine Threshold High. With adequate programming these three thresholds, the CPU
wait-time would be reduced to improve the graphics performance.
3.12.5 DDC Controller
The DDC Controller provides two different channels to communicate with the monitor which
supports DDC level 1 or DDC level 2B. One is DDC CLK channel which is bi-directional and
provides the clock for DDC. The other is DDC DATA channel which is bi-directional and
could query some information from monitor.
With the advantage of DDC, VGA BIOS could realize the capability of the connected monitor
and take adequate action (such as to program the parameters for higher frame rate, ..., etc.) to
make end users feel more comfortable.
3.12.6 Display Memory Controller
The Display Memory Controller generates timing for display memory. This includes RAS#,
CAS#, and multiplexed-address timing, as well as RAMWE#.
3.12.7 DPMS
It provides some registers to control the CRT timing to be compatible with the VESA DPMS
specification.
3.12.8 Dual-Clock Synthesizer
The Dual-Clock Synthesizer generates MCLK and VCLK with single external reference clock.
With this character, we could set the MCLK at the maximum speed which the display memory
could work normally, thus it takes the advantage of the real peak memory bandwidth and
improves the graphics performance.
3.12.9 Graphics Controller

It performs text manipulation, data rotation, color mapping, and miscellaneous operations.
3.12.10 Graphics Engine
It is an enhanced 64-bit BitBlt Graphics Engine.
For enhanced 256-color graphics mode, the engine supports the following functions:
* 256 Raster Operation Functions
* Rectangle Fill
* Color/Font Expansion
* Enhanced Color expansion
* Enhanced Font expansion
* Line Drawing
* Built-in 8x8 Pattern Registers
* Built-in 8x8 Mask Registers
* Direct Draw
For 32K or 64K high-color graphics mode, the engine supports the following functions:
* 256 Raster Operation Functions
* Rectangle Fill
* Enhanced Color expansion
* Line Drawing
* Built-in 8x8 Mask Registers
* Direct Draw
For 16M-color graphics mode, due to different graphics process methods, the engine supports
the following functions:
* Source/Destination BitBlt
* Pattern/Destination BitBlt
Descriptions of the graphics engine functions are summarized as follows:

Bit Block Transfer (BitBlt)
BitBlt moves a block of data from one location (source) to another location (destination). It is
a ternary operation. The operands could be the source data, the destination data, and the brush
pattern. There are three different kinds of BitBlt: from the host memory to the display
memory, from the display memory to the host memory, and from one location of the display
memory to another location of the display memory.
In the first two cases, the operation simply uses the "move string instruction" (REP MOVS) to
move the source data to the destination to accomplish the BitBlt operation. It is called "CPU-
driven BitBlt".
In the case of moving from the display memory to the display memory, integrated VGA
Controller could gain the advantage of its advanced engine design to solve the problems of
memory overlapping during the block transfers. The only effort is to program the adequate
parameters.
BitBlt with Mask

When the BitBlt operation deals with the hatched brush pattern, the programmer just needs to
set the monochrome mask into Mask Registers and program an adequate BG ROP and
Background Color, then the engine would handle the complicated process.
Color/Font Expansion
The color/font expansion is used to expand a monochrome data (one bit per pixel) into a
second color format which is n-bit per pixel during a moving operation.
The foreground color and background color is addressed respectively from I/O address 8290h
to 8292h and from I/O address 8294h to 8296h. The font patterns are stored in the pattern
registers (I/O address 82ACh to 82EBh) or in the off-screen memory which is called Enhanced
Color/Font Expansion. These pattern registers store the monochrome bitmap. The BitBlt
engine can expand 512 pixels at a time. Thus the font-drawing and monochrome bitmap
expansion can be easily accomplished.
Enhanced Color Expansion
If the size of a monochrome bitmap is larger than 512 pixels, there is not enough space in
pattern registers to store this bitmap. In this case, the bitmap should be stored in the off-screen
display memory instead of the pattern registers. The operation is called Enhanced Color
Expansion or Enhanced Font Expansion depended on the data format.
The format written into the off-screen memory of the Enhanced Color Expansion operation is
m x n.
When the Command 1 Register D[5] (Enhanced Color Expansion Enable Bit, I/O address
82ABh) is set to 1, the Enhanced Color Expansion mode is enable. The SRC Start Linear
Address (I/O address 8280h to 8282h) is used to specify the starting address of the off-screen
memory. Integrated Graphics Controller stores the monochrome bitmap into the assigned off-
screen memory. Therefore the BitBlt engine could explore more pixels by using the Enhanced
Color Expansion.
Enhanced Font Expansion
The Enhanced Font Expansion is very similar to the Enhanced Color Expansion. The major
difference is the format stored in the off-screen memory. The format written into the off-
screen memory of the Enhanced Font Expansion operation is 8 x n.
When the Command 1 Register D[4] (Enhanced Font Expansion Enable Bit, I/O address
82ABh) is set to 1, the Enhanced Font Expansion mode is enable. The SRC Start Linear
Address (I/O address 8280h to 8282h) is used to specify the start address of the off-screen
memory. Integrated Graphics Controller stores the monochrome bitmap into off-screen
memory byte by byte successively. Therefore the BitBlt engine would expand these pixels by
using the Enhanced Font Expansion.
Line Drawing
The Bresenham's Line Algorithm is a well popular algorithm in graphics, which is used to draw
a line. The drawing line could be either a solid line or a dashed line. To draw a solid line, we
must use one solid foreground color. To draw a dashed line, we'll use two colors specified by
the foreground and background color registers. There are several registers involved to control
the starting location, pixel count, error term, and line style, etc.
Rectangle Fill
A rectangle area fill is a function to fill a specified rectangle area by using either a solid color
(rectangle fill) or a pattern (pattern fill).

Rectangle Fill is simply to fill the destination rectangle with a solid color. The solid color is
specified into the foreground color register.
Pattern Fill repeats a source pattern into a destination rectangle. Therefore the pattern
registers (I/O address 82ACh to 82EBh) must be specified. The pattern often consists of a
background and foreground color because the color expansion would be used in conjunction
with the pattern fill.
Raster Operations (Raster Ops or ROPs)
Raster Ops would perform some logical or arithmetic operations on the graphics data. There
are 256 raster ops defined by Microsoft. Each raster op code is a Boolean operation with
three operands: the source, the selected pattern, and the destination.
Direct Draw
The Windows 95 Game SDK enables the creation of world class computer games. Direct
Draw is a component of that SDK that allows direct manipulation of video display memory. In
order to enhance the performance of games, Integrated VGA Controller provides some Direct
Draw functions.
Since the former engine functions can just support part of Direct Draw capabilities, three new
functions are added into the graphics accelerator in order to meet the other Direct Draw
functions. They are color key range comparison, alpha blending, and Direct Draw raster
operation.
The register format for Direct Draw is different from those of the engine's functions listed
above.
To enable Direct Draw, the Direct Draw enable bits must be set to “11”. Once Direct Draw is
enabled, all of the engine operations are under the “Read-Modify-Write” mode. That is, the
destination data have to be read from memory for processing before being written back.
After receiving the destination data, the source and destination data are sent to the color key
range comparators to determine whether they are between the high and low color key values.
If they are in the color key range, the Direct Draw raster operation (D_Rop) will determine
whether the data after alpha blending or the original destination will be written back to
memory.
There are two control bits for alpha blending. They are the S_Alpha bit and D_alpha Bit. The
table below shows the relationship between these two control bits and the data after alpha
blending.
S_Alpha D_Alpha Data after Alpha Blending

0 0 Source
0 1 Destination
1 0 Source
1 1 (Source+Destination)/2
3.12.11 RAMDAC
The RAMDAC contains the color palette and 24-bit true color DAC.
The color palette contains 256 24-bit entries.

In indirect color modes, it can convert a color code that specifies the color of a pixel into three
6-bit values, one each for red, green, and blue.
In direct color modes, it can convert each three R, G, B values into three 8-bit values when
SR6 bit 3 set to 1. Which can perform the Gamma correction function.
In the 24-bit true color DAC is designed for direct color graphics mode. It converts each
digital color value to three analog voltages for red, green, and blue.
3.12.12 Read-ahead Cache

It is a 128-bit cache. With this cache, the times of the operation of display memory read would
be reduced, thus increase the performance.
3.12.13 Write FIFO
The Write FIFO contains a queue of CPU write accesses to display memory that have not been
executed because of memory arbitration. With this queue, the Integrated VGA Controller will
release CPU as soon as it records the address and data, and then write into display memory
when the display memory is available. Thus CPU performance is increased.
3.12.14 Bus Interface
The Integrated VGA Controller dedicatedly supports 32-bit PCI Local Bus Standard Revision
2.1. Furthermore Integrated VGA Controller supports PCI burst write to take advantage of
PCI bus advanced feature to further improve performance. But PCI burst read is not
supported since it has very little impact on performance in graphics application.
3.12.15 DRAM Support
Integrated VGA Controller supports 0.5 MB, 1 MB, 1.5 MB, 2 MB, 2.5 MB, 3 MB, 3.5 MB,
and 4 MB FPM/EDO DRAM and Synchronous DRAM configuration. SiS chp will assert the
RAS0#/CS#, MA0A, MA1A, SCAS0# and SRAS0# (memory Bank0) when the integrated
VGA controller access the main memory.

3.12.16 Video Memory Data Bus Architecture

The Integrated VGA Controller uses the 64-bit DRAM data bus with peak video memory
bandwidth of 220 MByte/sec for FPM DRAM with 55Mhz MCLK.
In 2MByte DRAM configuration, Integrated VGA Controller can support 1024x768x32K
color, 1024x768x64K color, and 800x600x16M color resolutions with no degradation in the
graphics performance.
In 4MByte DRAM configuration, Integrated VGA Controller can support 1024x768x16M
color, 1280x1024x32K color, and 1280x1024x64K color resolutions. These resolutions are
not easily implemented by the regular Graphics Controller architecture.
3.12.17 Internal Dual-Clock Synthesizer
Integrated VGA Controller has built-in a dual-clock synthesizer to generate the MCLK and
VCLK. This clock synthesizer could generate several variable frequencies, thus it could
provide the flexibility for selecting the working frequency.
The following block diagram is for clock synthesizer:
Numerator
Divider
-
+
fr fd
DeNumerator CP VCO Post Scaler
PD
GAIN
where PD is phase detection,

CP is charge pump,
VCO is voltage controlled oscillator,
fr is reference frequency, and
fd is desired frequency.
The operation of clock synthesizer is described as follow:

When the synthesizer outputs the steady frequency, it means that
fr/DeNumerator = fd*Post Scaler /(Divider*Numerator).
i.e.
fd=fr*(Numerator/DeNumerator)*(Divider/Post Scaler).
With this formula, we could select adequate values for Numerator, DeNumerator, Divider, and
Post Scaler to obtain the desired frequency.
The planned Video Clocks (VCLK) are as follow: (units: MHz)
25.175 28.322 40.000 50.000 77.000
36.000 44.889 135.000 120.000 80.000
31.500 110.000 65.000 75.000 94.500

These frequencies are compatible with ICS2494-275 or -280.
Other video clocks would be added to the scheme after verified OK.
The planned Memory Clocks (MCLK) are from 50 MHz to 80 MHz with resolution 2 MHz.
Higher memory clocks would be added after verified OK.
3.12.18 Power Management

To satisfy the power saving for Green PC, Integrated VGA Controller supports the control
protocol of DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) proposed by VESA Monitor
Committee. This protocol can reduce the VGA Monitors' power consumption.
Integrated VGA Controller has built-in two timers for stand-by and suspend modes that can be
programmed from 2 minutes to 30 minutes (2 min./increase) with the extended registers.
Integrated VGA Controller also supports forcing the video subsystem into stand-by, suspend,
or off modes with the extended registers.
Power saving is done by blocking HSYNC and/or VSYNC signals to the VGA monitor. The
sources of wake-up are from the monitoring of keyboard, hardware cursor, and/or video
memory read/write. The overview of the signal blocking requirements are as follows:

Stand-By No Pulses Pulses No
Suspend Pulses No Pulses No
OFF No Pulses No Pulses No
3.12.19 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification (ACPI)
In order to achieve power saving for Green PC , VGA controller support ACPI specification .
When the OS determines that the graphics display is no longer needed , it will assert the
GR_SUS# signal to place the graphics subsystem in the D3 power off state . In this low power
state , the VGA controller will firstly check whether the PCI_bus state machine , the HOST_bus
state machine , the DRAM state machine and the ENGINE state machine are on the idle state .
If these conditions meet , the VGA controller will deassert HSYNC , VSYNC and let Line-
buffer, SRAM and DAC sequencely enter the low power state and then gate off the internal
clocks like memory clock and video clock . In addition to gate off above internal clocks , we
also gate off the rapidly changed signals like PCI data and HOST data and deassert the PCI
device select signal and the HOST device select signal , i.e , the VGA controller will completely
isolated form the PCI_bus and HOST_bus . Finally , The OS will deassert the GR_CLKPWR#
signal to remove power from the graphics clock generator .
When a wake-up event occurred , VGA controller must enter to Power-On state in sequence. It
will firstly assert the GR_CLKPWR# signal to supply power to the graphics clock generator and
then turn on internal clocks . When the VGA controller delay some fixed time to stabilize the
power supply , it will deassert the GR_SUS# signal to turn on Line-buffer , SRAM , DAC ,
HSYNC and VSYNC.
Note that the GR_SUS# and GR_CLKPWR# are the internal signals.

mode which could support up to 2048x2048 resolution.
3.12.21 Turbo Queue
In Integrated VGA Controller, the graphics engine performs the acceleration functions via the
acceleration commands stored in the command queue. The command queue is a FIFO (First In
First Out) and ring structure. i.e. If an acceleration command is filled in the last stage of the
command queue, then the following acceleration command would be filled in the first stage of
the command queue.
Once this command queue is congested, the CPU's request will be pending until the command
queue has free space to accept more acceleration commands. This would downgrade the
graphics system performance severely. Thus the length of command queue will dominate the
performance of the graphics engine.
To lengthen the command queue as long as required, Integrated VGA Controller provides two
different kinds of command queue. The first one is built in Integrated VGA Controller, which
is called Hardware Command Queue. The other one is built in the off-screen display memory,
which is called Turbo Queue.
The Hardware Command Queue is a 32 doublewords queue built in front of the graphics
engine. Since the average length of an engine command is 8 doublewords, it could be regarded
as 5 stages command queue, the first one is in the active state and the last four are in the wait
states.
The Turbo Queue is an extraordinary structure developed and patent pending by SiS Corp.
The system configuration of the two command queues and the graphics engine is shown in the
following diagram.

Figure 3-33 Turbo Queue Architecture
The Turbo Queue is also a FIFO and ring structure as stated before. The size of the Turbo
Queue in Integrated VGA Controller is 32K bytes. Thus the stages of graphics engine could
be regarded as infinity. It could get rid of the disadvantages of the CPU waiting problems due
to the limited length of command queue and It could get extra high graphics performance.
To program the extended register SR2C (Turbo Queue Base Address Register) could allocate
the Turbo Queue into the off-screen region of the display memory automatically. Once the
commands in the Hardware Command Queue were moved into the Turbo Queue, the free
space in the Hardware Command Queue could be vacated to store the next acceleration
command and the condition of CPU waiting could be avoided. If both the command queues
are not empty, the graphics engine would perform the commands in Turbo Queue first until
Turbo Queue is empty.
3.12.22 Video Accelerator
Video Password/Identification Register

A video registers protection is implemented in the index 80h of CRT index register 3D4. To
disable the protection, the software must first match the protection key value of 86h. If not
match, read/write to any of the video associated registers are denied.
Video Capture and PlayBack
Integrated VGA Controller video accelerator can work in three different modes: standard FC
(feature connector) mode, direct video mode, and PCI multimedia mode.
In standard FC mode, Integrated VGA Controller supports standard FC operation.
In direct video mode, Integrated VGA Controller could work with the Philips SAA7110 /
SAA7111, Sony CXA1790Q, and Brooktree Bt815/817/819A (8-bit SPI mode 1, 2) to
provide the PC-Video solution and provide the very flexible overlaying ability mentioned
above.
In PCI multimedia mode, Integrated VGA Controller supports PCI multimedia design
specification to meet future potential trend.
Integrated VGA Controller also supports the industry standard FC spec to provide a standard
video link to the third-parties' video adapters.

Furthermore in PCI multimedia mode, Integrated VGA Controller supports PCI multimedia
design guide Rev. 1.0 spec to meet future potential trend.
Feature Connector Interface
In standard feature connector mode, Integrated VGA Controller would transfer the graphics
data to the connected video adapter for overlay and can accept the video data from the
connected video adapter.
The data input/output direction of Integrated VGA Controller is controlled by the ESYNC,
EVDCLK, EVIDEO pins and is automatically controlled by BIOS.
Video Capture Window
BLANK*
ESYNC
Input Video
VDVES*
Captured Video
VDVEE*
VDHES* VDHEE*
Integrated VGA Controller provides video capture windowing to select a part of input video to
be captured into video frame buffer. This capture window is defined by four parameter: video
data horizontal start (VDHES), video data horizontal end (VDHEE), video data vertical start
(VDVES), and video data vertical end (VDVEE).
There are the video data horizontal counter and the video data vertical counter inside
Integrated VGA Controller. The video data horizontal counter is reset at the positive edge of
signal BLANK# and counted up by PCLK. The video data vertical counter is reset at the
positive edge of ESYNC and counted up by positive of BLANK#. When the value of the
video data horizontal counter is equal to or greater than VDHES and the video data vertical
counter is equal to or greater than VDVES, the video data capture starts or continues. After
the value of the video data horizontal counter is equal to or greater than VDHEE or the video
data vertical counter is equal to or greater than VDVEE, the video capture ends.
Video Captured Down Scaling
Integrated VGA Controller provides independent X-Y down scaling of the captured video
image in integer increments of 1/64. Images may be scaled down to n/64 (n = 1 ~ 64) of the
original image size to support video icons for graphics user interfaces, or to reduce the
memory bandwidth. The scaling factor is controlled by HDSF and VDSF, which ranging from
0 to 63, and the scaling factors are (64-HDSF)/64 in horizontal and (64-VHSF)/64 in vertical.

Video Capture FIFO

The scaled-down video data would be fed into the video capture FIFO before being stored to
display memory. The 64x16 video capture FIFOs serve as buffers between the video capture
mechanisms and the display memory, are provided to fit the bandwidth limitation of the display
memory during video image capture operation.
Multi-format Video Frame Buffer
The video frame buffer of Integrated VGA Controller is shared with graphics frame buffer and
is a multi-format frame buffer. It could accept 16-bpp YUV422, RGB555, and RGB565 and
12-bpp YUV420(plane mode) color format.
The decompression CODEC, hardware or software, could fill the valid decompressed video
frame data into the off-screen video frame buffer through the PCI local bus.
The other PCI motion video card or CPU can transfer the video data through PCI local bus
directly into video frame buffer.
Thus Integrated VGA Controller can overlay the video on the screen.
YUV420 plane mode
Integrated controller supports YUV420 plane mode. The data rate of YUV420 is 12-bpp
which is smaller than 16-bpp of YUV422. So that the data bandwidth can be reduced and
improve the video playback performance. The YUV420 mode need three start address for Y,
U and V plane, and two offset for Y and U,V plane.
Video Playback Line Buffers
When CRT refresh the screen, the video data must be overlaid with graphics data. Therefore
the video data would first be read out from off-screen video frame buffer into the video
playback line buffers for further handling.
The video playback line buffers serve as buffers between display memory and the playback
mechanisms, are provided to fit the limitation of the display memory during video playback
operation.
When video playback function is disabled, the line buffers can be used as CRT FIFO to
increase the CRT FIFO size to 2k bytes.
Color Space Conversion & Color Format Conversion
If the data read from the video frame buffer is in YUV422, the real time YUV-to-RGB
converter will be turn on. The video data would be converted to RGB888 format for
successive processing. The YUV422 are converted following the CCIR601-2 standard.
If the data read from the video frame buffer is in RGB format, the YUV-to-RGB converter
would be bypassed. All the RGB565 and RGB555 format are supported and then would be
converted to RGB888 format.
Horizontal Interpolation DDA
The DDA (Digital Differential Accumulator) using the following mathematical calculation with
2-tap, N-phase and scaling up factor UFACT (from J points scaling up to J * UFACT points):
Destination[i] = (1 - Weight) * Source[j] + Weight * Source[j+1]

j = TRUNC(i / UFACT)
Weight" = TRUNC(i / UFACT) - j
However since the Weight" is not an integer, the multiplication is hard to implement and
therefore the following Weight is used for calculation.
Weight = TRUNC(Weight" * N) / N
The Integrated VGA Controller built-in an X-interpolation DDA mechanism to get better
video stretching quality. The interpolation accuracy of DDA mechanism is 2-tap and 8-phase.
Vertical Interpolation DDA
The Integrated VGA Controller built-in a Y-interpolation DDA mechanism and two line
buffers mechanism to get better video stretching quality. The interpolation accuracy of DDA
mechanism is 2-tap and 8-phase.
Video Playback Horizontal Zooming
The playback video data can be horizontal zoom-in in 64/n factor (n = 1 ~ 64) and zoom-out in
about m/16 factor (m = 1 ~ 16). The zooming factor (HPFACT) is controlled by 4-bit integer
part and 6-bit fraction part. The horizontal video size will be zoomed to 1/HPFACT. If
HPFACT<1, it will performing horizontal up scaling. If HPFACT>1, it will performing
horizontal down scaling.
Video Playback Vertical Zooming
The playback video data can be vertical zoom-in in 64/n factor (n = 1 ~ 64) and zoom-out in
arbitrary factor. The zooming factor (VPFACT) is controlled by 6-bit fraction part. The video
size will be zoomed to 1/VPFACT. Since the VPFACT is always less than 1, therefore you
can only perform vertical up scaling by this factor. The vertical down scaling can be done by
multiplying the Video Frame Buffer Offset with an integer I. Then the vertical video size will
be zoomed to 1/(I*VPFACT).
Video Data Blending
The pixels of graphics data can be blended by graphics data alpha value, then add with the
blended video data to generate blended data. The accuracy of the blending is 4 bits, the 4
MSBs of Graphic data alpha value register.
The pixels of video data can be blended by video data alpha value, then add with the blended
graphics data to generate blended data. The accuracy of the blending is 4 bits, the 4 MSBs of
Video data alpha value register.
Color Keying
A control signal is generated by comparing the 24 bits graphics data to the 24 bits color key
low value and 24 bits color key high value. The bit number is dependent on color depth used.
If the graphics data value is between the two color key values ( all of three RGB parts), the
color key is detected. This comparison mechanism can be disable by setting the video window
size to zero, i.e. X-start=0, X-end=0, Y-start=0, and Y-end=0.
Chroma Keying
A control signal is generated by comparing the 24 bits video data to the 24 bits chroma key
low value and 24-bit chroma key high value. The chroma key can be YUV or RGB format. If
the video data value is between two chroma key values ( all of three RGB or YUV parts), the
chroma key is detected.

Graphics & Video Overlay

The overlay of the graphics data and the video data is performed by color keying and chroma
keying method. The overlay operation is set by Key Overlay Operation Mode Register. The
operation is defined below:
Operation Operation
Mode
0000 always select graphics data
0001 select blended data when color key and chroma key, otherwise select graphics
data
0010 select blended data when color key and not chroma key, otherwise select
graphics data
0011 select blended data when color key, otherwise select graphics data
0100 select blended data when not color key and chroma key, otherwise select
graphics data
0101 select blended data when chroma key, otherwise select graphics data
0110 select blended data when color key xor chroma key, otherwise select graphics
data
0111 select blended data when color key or chroma key, otherwise select graphics
data
1000 select blended data when not color key and not chroma key, otherwise select
graphics data
1001 select blended data when color key xnor chroma key, otherwise select graphics
data
1010 select blended data when not chroma key, otherwise select graphics data
1011 select blended data when color key or not chroma key, otherwise select graphics
data
1100 select blended data when not chroma key, otherwise select graphics data
1101 select blended data when not color key or chroma key, otherwise select graphics
data
1110 select blended data when not color key or not chroma key, otherwise select
graphics data
1111 always select blended data
Video Window Control Registers
The video window area is defined by six registers that specify a rectangular region by X-start,
X-end, Y-start, and Y-end (X: Horizontal, Y: Vertical).
The location of the video window is referenced to the VGA sync signals.
The size of the video window is defined in VGA pixels and lines.
Video Panning
The displayed video image could be panned around the captured video image by setting the
video display starting address. i.e. You may selectively display any part of the captured video
image. The video display starting address is equal to the video frame buffer starting address
adds the panning offset.

Overlay Memory Data

The display memory is configured to two areas: one is the graphics area (which is the actual
screen display area) storing graphics pixel data, and the other is the video area (which is also
called off-screen area) storing the video pixel data.
In the graphics area, the corresponding video window area is reserved with the color key
value. During the CRT scan period, a comparison of graphics data with color key data is
performed. Once a match meet, the CRT output path would be switched from graphics path to
video path to display the video data.
When the shared-memory architecture is used, the video frame buffer could be anywhere of the
system memory, independent with the location of the graphics frame buffer. This provides
more flexibility for video control application program. The video frame buffer should be set to
Non-Cacheable and non-swapable.
3.12.23 Video Playback Contrast Enhancement and Brightness Control
To achieve higher video quality, the Integrated VGA Controller built-in the Contrast
Enhancement and Brightness Control mechanism.
For Contrast Enhancement, first, the brightness mean value is calculated by some pixels and
some frames. The number of sampled pixels and frames is programmable by registers.
Contrast Enhancement mechanism then increases the difference between the video data and
mean value. The increasing rate is programmed by gain. The value of gain is from 1.0 to
1.4375.
The Brightness of video data can also be controlled. The Brightness is a 2's complement value
from -128 to +127. This value is then added with the video data to increase or decrease the
brightness of video.
3.12.24 Video CPU Write Data Decimation

The DRAM bandwidth is not enough under some high resolution and high color depth
graphics modes, so the video overlay cannot perform under these modes. The Video CPU
Write Data Decimation mechanism can decimate two continuous pixels of video to one pixel to
reduce the video bandwidth. The video performance can be improved but video quality will be
downgraded slightly.
3.12.25 Signature Analysis

The signature analysis is provided to automatically test the graphics data which is the input of
the DAC. This technique is based on the concept of cyclic redundancy checking (CRC) and is
realized in hardware using linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs). It is composed of a 24-bit
signature generator register which is called multiple-input signature register (MISR, shown in
the following figure) and is used to ensure a unique signature of different patterns.
For a given test image, the signature analysis could get a right unique signature number. If an
error occurs in the controller or the data manipulation, it would result in a different wrong
signature number as compared to the pre-calculated signature value. Thus a test technician
could sort the good or bad chips more quickly and accurately and requires no visual inspection
of the screen for errors in the mass product environment. This could save significant testing
time. If the display screen includes blinking attributes or a blinking cursor, then the signature
will be different when blink-off and blink-on for those frames. Assume all error patterns are
equally likely, then the probability of failing to detect an error by the MISR is approximately
0.0000000596.
To match the inputs of MISR, the 24-bit graphics data (i.e. the input of the DAC of the
RAMDAC) would be first converted into 16-bit data. The corresponding transfer function of
the MISR of the following figure is
p(x) = 1 + a1x + a2x2 + a3x3 + ... + an xn
where can be either 0 or 1. Integrated VGA Controller sets the parameters of the signature
register as
p(x) = 1 + x20 + x21 + x23 + x24
Once the software enables the signature analysis function, Integrated VGA Controller could
test itself intelligently and automatically. This function could also be disabled by the extended
control register for power saving purposes.

3.14 Ball Connectivity Testing
SiS Chip will provide a NAND chain Test Mode. In order to ensure the connections of balls to
tracks of mainboard, SiS Chip provides a simple way to do connective measurements.
Basically, an additional 2-input-NAND gate is added into the I/O buffer cells. And, one of
inputs of NAND gate is connected to input pin of I/O buffer as test input port in test mode. To
monitor the test result at test output port, the output of the NAND gate is connected to the
other input of the next NAND gate. Such that, the test result could be propagated and it forms
a NAND tree, as depicted in Figure 3-35 on page 107. To adapt to the scheme, all output
buffers of SiS Chip are changed to bidirection buffers to accept test signals.
3.14.1 Test Scheme
There are six NAND tree chains are provided by SiS Chip. Each NAND tree chain has several
test-input pins and one output pin.
The following description is an example on 4-test-input pins to explain a NAND tree chain test
scheme.
First of all, logic LOW is driven into TESTIN1 pin from track on mainboard. If logic HIGH
could be observed at TESTOUT pin, it means that the connection of TESTIN1 pin to track is
good, as shown in Figure 3-36 on page 107. To test TESTIN2 pin, TESTIN2 pin should be
driven LOW also. And, TESTIN1 pin should be kept at logic HIGH, such that the test result
could be passed to TESTOUT pin and so on. Although SiS Chip operates at 3.3V, all input
buffers of SiS Chip are 5V-input tolerance. Hence, all test signal could go up to 5V.
3.14.2 Measurements
During test process, this scheme requires all test inputs to be driven simultaneously. To
decrease the amount of test probes, SiS Chip divide pins into 6 branches. Meanwhile, some
noise sensitive signals or analog signals, i.e. RTC, power and VGA signals, are excluded. The
final number of test-input probes is limited to 78 and these six NAND trees are listed in Table
3-2 NAND Tree List on page 107.

BALL No. BALL No. ATTR
AE19 E19 CPURST O Reset CPU is an active high output to reset
the CPU.
AJ20 A20 INIT O The Initialization output forces the CPU to
begin execution in a known state. The CPU
state after INIT is the same as the state after
CPURST except that the internal caches,
model specific registers, and floating point
registers retain the values they had prior to
INIT.
AG23 C23 CPUCLK I Host clock. Primary clock input to drive the
part.
AH25 B25 ADS# I Address Status is driven by the CPU to
indicate the start of a CPU bus cycle.
AG25 C25 M/IO# I Memory I/O definition is an input to indicate
an I/O cycle when low, or a memory cycle
when high.
AE22 E22 D/C# I Data/Code is used to indicate whether the
current cycle is a data or code access.
AF25 D25 W/R# I Write/Read from the CPU indicates whether
the current cycle is a write or read access.
AE25 E25 BRDY# O Burst Ready indicates that data presented are
valid during a burst cycle.
AF21 D21 CACHE# I The Cache pin indicates an L1 internally
cacheable read cycle or a burst write-back
cycle. If this pin is driven inactive during a
read cycle, the CPU will not cache the
returned data, regardless of the state of the
KEN# pin.
AJ24 A24 KEN#/ O This function as both the KEN# signal
INV during CPU read cycles, and the INV signal
during L1 snoop cycles. During CPU cycles,
KEN/INV is normally low. KEN#/INV will
be driven high during the 1st BRDY# or
NA# assertion of a non-L1-cacheable CPU
read.
KEN#/INV is driven high(low) during the
EADS# assertion of a PCI master DRAM
write(read) snoop cycle.
AH24 B24 NA# O The SiS Chip always asserts NA# no matter
the burst, or pipelined burst SRAMs are
used. This signal is connected to CPU and
indicate to CPU that it is ready to process a
second cycle.
AG24 C24 BOFF# O The SiS Chip asserts BOFF# to stop the
current CPU cycle.
AE21 E21 AHOLD O The SiS Chip asserts AHOLD when a PCI
master is performing a cycle to DRAM.
AHOLD is held for the duration of PCI burst
transfer. The SiS Chip negates AHOLD
when the completion of PCI to DRAM read
or write cycles complete and during PCI
peer transfers.
AF24 D24 HLOCK# I When CPU asserts HLOCK# to indicate the
current bus cycle is locked.
AE24 E24 FLUSH# O It is used to slow down the system in
deturbo mode.
AJ23 A23 EADS# O The EADS# is driven to indicate that a valid
external address has been driven to the CPU
address pins to be used for an inquire cycle.

modified line in the L1 cache of the CPU.
AH18 B18 FERR# I Floating point error from the CPU. It is
driven active when a floating point error
occurs.
AJ22 A22 IGNNE# O IGNNE# is normally in high impedance
state, and is asserted to inform CPU to
ignore a numeric error. A resistor connected
to 3.3V is required to maintain a correct
voltage level to CPU.
AH22 B22 SMI# O System Management Interrupt is used to
indicate the occurrence of system
management events. It is connected directly
to the CPU SMI# input.
AG22 C22 SMIACT# I The SMIACT# pin is used as the SMI
acknowledgment input from the CPU to
indicate that the SMI# is being
acknowledged and the processor is operating
in System Management Mode(SMM).
AJ21 A21 A20M# O A20 Mask is the fast A20GATE output to
the CPU. It remains high during power up
and CPU reset period. It forces A20 to go
low when active.
AF19 D19 STPCLK# O Stop Clock indicates a stop clock request to
the CPU. When the CPU samples STPCLK#
signal asserted it response by stopping its
internal clock to get into the power saving
state.
AH21 B21 INTR O Interrupt goes high whenever a valid
interrupt request is asserted.
AG21 C21 NMI O Non-maskable interrupt is rising edge trigger
signal to the CPU and is generated to invoke
a non-maskable interrupt.
Normally, this signal is low. It goes high
state when a non-maskable interrupt source
comes up.
AH20, AG20, B20, C20, HBE[7:0]# I CPU Byte Enables indicate which byte lanes
AJ19, AF18, A19, D18, on the CPU data bus carry valid data during
AH19, AG19, B19, C19, the current bus cycle. HBE7# indicates that
AJ18, AE18 A18, E18 the most significant byte of the data bus is
valid while HBE0# indicates that the least
significant byte of the data bus is valid.
AD5, AD4, F5, F4, HA[31:3] I/O The CPU Address is driven by the CPU
AA4, AD3, J4, F3, during CPU bus cycles. The SiS Chip
AD2, AB5, F2, H5, forwards it to either the DRAM or the PCI
AD1, AE4, F1, E4, bus depending on the address range. The
AE3, AB4, E3, H4, address bus is driven by the SiS Chip during

6.5.2 USB OpenHCI Host Controller Operational Register
The base address of these registers are programmable by the memory base address register
(USB PCI configuration register offset 10-13h). These registers should be written as Dword,
byte write to these registers have unpredictable effects.
The OpenHCI Host Controller (HC) contains a set of on-chip operational registers which are
mapped into a noncacheable portion of the system addressable space. These registers are used
by the Host Controller Driver (HCD). According to the function of these registers, they are
divided into four partitions, specifically for Control and Status, Memory Pointer, Frame
Counter and Root Hub. All of the registers should be read and written as Dwords.
Reserved bits may be allocated in future releases of this specification. To ensure

interoperability, the Host Controller Driver that does not use a reserved field should not
assume that the reserved field contains 0. Furthermore, the Host Controller Driver should
always preserve the value(s) of the reserved field. When a R/W register is modified, the Host
Controller Driver should first read the register, modify the bits desired, then write the register
with the reserved bits still containing the read value. Alternatively, the Host Controller Driver
can maintain an in-memory copy of previously written values that can be modified and then
written to the Host Controller register. When a write to set/clear register is written, bits
written to reserved fields should be 0.

Bits 31:9 Reserved
Bit 8 Legacy
This read-only field is 1 to indicate that the legacy support registers are present in
this HC.
Bits 7:0 Revision
This read-only field contains the BCD representation of the version of the HCI
specification that is implemented by this HC. For example, a value of 11h
corresponds to version 1.1. All of the HC implementations that are compliant with
current OpenHCI 1.0 specification will have a value of 10h.
Register 04h HcControl Register

The HcControl register defines the operating modes for the Host Controller. Most
of the fields in this register are modified only by the Host Controller Driver, except
HostControllerFunctionalState and RemoteWakeupConnected.
Bits 31:11 Reserved
Bit 10 RemoteWakeupEnable
This bit is used by HCD to enable or disable the remote wakeup feature upon the
detection of upstream resume signaling. When this bit is set and the
ResumeDetected bit in HcInterruptStatus is set, a remote wakeup is signaled to
the host system. Setting this bit has no impact on the generation of hardware
interrupt.
Since there is no remote wakeup supported, this bit is ignored.
Bit 9 RemoteWakeupConnected
This bit indicates whether HC supports remote wakeup signaling. If remote
wakeup is supported and used by the system it is the responsibility of system
firmware to set this bit during POST. HC clears the bit upon a hardware reset but
does not alter it upon a software reset. Remote wakeup signaling of the host
system is host-bus-specific and is not described in this specification.
This bit is hard-coded to ‘0’.
Bit 8 InterruptRouting
This bit determines the routing of interrupts generated by events registered in
HcInterruptStatus. If clear, all interrupts are routed to the normal host bus
interrupt mechanism. If set, interrupts are routed to the System Management
Interrupt. HCD clears this bit upon a hardware reset, but it does not alter this bit
upon a software reset. HCD uses this bit as a tag to indicate the ownership of HC.
Bits 7:6 HostControllerFunctionalState for USB
00b: UsbReset
01b: UsbResume
10b: UsbOperational
11b: UsbSuspend
A transition to UsbOperational from another state causes SOF generation to begin
1 ms later. HCD may determine whether HC has begun sending SOFs by reading
the StartofFrame field of HcInterruptStatus.
This field may be changed by HC only when in the UsbSuspend state. HC may
move from the UsbSuspend state to the UsbResume state after detecting the
resume signaling from a downstream port.
HC enters USBSUSPEND after a software reset, whereas it enters USBRESET after a
hardware reset. The latter also resets the Root Hub and asserts subsequent reset
signaling to downstream ports.
Bit 5 BulkListEnable
This bit is set to enable the processing of the Bulk list in the next Frame. If cleared
by HCD, processing of the Bulk list does not occur after the next SOF. HC checks
this bit whenever it determines to process the list. When disabled, HCD may
modify the list. If HcBulkCurrentED is pointing to an ED to be removed, HCD
must advance the pointer by updating HcBulkCurrentED before re-enabling
processing of the list.
Bit 4 ControlListEnable
This bit is set to enable the processing of the Control list in the next Frame. If
cleared by HCD, processing of the Control list does not occur after the next SOF.
HC must check this bit whenever it determines to process the list. When disabled,
HCD may modify the list. If HcControlCurrentED is pointing to an ED to be
removed, HCD must advance the pointer by updating HcControlCurrentED before
re-enabling processing of the list.
Bit 3 IsochronousEnable
This bit is used by HCD to enable/disable processing of isochronous EDs. While
processing the periodic list in a Frame, HC checks the status of this bit when it
finds an Isochronous ED (F=1). If set (enabled), HC continues processing the
EDs. If cleared (disabled), HC halts processing of the periodic list (which now
contains only isochronous EDs) and begins processing the Bulk/Control lists.
Setting this bit is guaranteed to take effect in the next Frame (not the current
Frame).
Bit 2 PeriodicListEnable
This bit is set to enable the processing of the periodic list in the next Frame. If
cleared by HCD, processing of the periodic list does not occur after the next SOF.
HC must check this bit before it starts processing the list.
Bits 1:0 ControlBulkServiceRatio
This specifies the service ratio between Control and Bulk EDs. Before processing
any of the nonperiodic lists, HC must compare the ratio specified with its internal
count on how many nonempty Control EDs have been processed, in determining
whether to continue serving another Control ED or switching to Bulk EDs. The
internal count will be retained when crossing the frame boundary. In case of reset,
HCD is responsible for restoring this value.
CBSR No. of Control EDs Over Bulk EDs Served
0 1:1
1 2:1
2 3:1
3 4:1
Register 08h HcCommandStatus Register

The HcCommandStatus register is used by the Host Controller to receive
commands issued by the Host Controller Driver, as well as reflecting the current
status of the Host Controller. To the Host Controller Driver, it appears to be a
"write to set" register. The Host Controller must ensure that bits written as ‘1’
become set in the register while bits written as ‘0’ remain unchanged in the
register. The Host Controller Driver may issue multiple distinct commands to the
Host Controller without concern for corrupting previously issued commands. The
Host Controller Driver has normal read access to all bits.
The SchedulingOverrunCount field indicates the number of frames with which

the Host Controller has detected the scheduling overrun error. This occurs when
the Periodic list does not complete before EOF. When a scheduling overrun error
is detected, the Host Controller increments the counter and sets the
SchedulingOverrun field in the HcInterruptStatus register.
Bits 31:18 Reserved
Bits 17:16 SchedulingOverrunCount
These bits are incremented on each scheduling overrun error. It is initialized to
00b and wraps around at 11b. This will be incremented when a scheduling overrun
is detected even if SchedulingOverrun in HcInterruptStatus has already been set.
This is used by HCD to monitor any persistent scheduling problems.
Bits 15:4 Reserved
Bit 3 OwnershipChangeRequest
This bit is set by an OS HCD to request a change of control of the HC. When set
HC will set the OwnershipChange field in HcInterruptStatus. After the
changeover, this bit is cleared and remains so until the next request from OS HCD.
Bit 2 BulkListFilled
This bit is used to indicate whether there are any TDs on the Bulk list. It is set by
HCD whenever it adds a TD to an ED in the Bulk list.
When HC begins to process the head of the Bulk list, it checks BF. As long as
BulkListFilled is 0, HC will not start processing the Bulk list. If BulkListFilled
is 1, HC will start processing the Bulk list and will set BF to 0. If HC finds a TD
on the list, then HC will set BulkListFilled to 1 causing the Bulk list processing to
continue. If no TD is found on the Bulk list, and if HCD does not set
BulkListFilled, then BulkListFilled will still be 0 when HC completes processing
the Bulk list and Bulk list processing will stop.
Bit 1 ControlListFilled
This bit is used to indicate whether there are any TDs on the Control list. It is set
by HCD whenever it adds a TD to an ED in the Control list.
When HC begins to process the head of the Control list, it checks CLF. As long as
ControlListFilled is 0, HC will not start processing the Control list. If CF is 1,
HC will start processing the Control list and will set ControlListFilled to 0. If HC
finds a TD on the list, then HC will set ControlListFilled to 1 causing the Control
list processing to continue. If no TD is found on the Control list, and if the HCD
does not set ControlListFilled, then ControlListFilled will still be 0 when HC
completes processing the Control list and Control list processing will stop.
Bit 0 HostControllerReset
This bit is set by HCD to initiate a software reset of HC. Regardless of the
functional state of HC, it moves to the USBSUSPEND state in which most of the
operational registers are reset except those stated otherwise; e.g., the
InterruptRouting field of HcControl, and no Host bus accesses are allowed. This
bit is cleared by HC upon the completion of the reset operation. The reset
operation must be completed within 10 µs. This bit, when set, should not cause a
reset to the Root Hub and no subsequent reset signaling should be asserted to its
downstream ports.
Register 0Ch HcInterruptStatus Register

This register provides status on various events that cause hardware interrupts.
When an event occurs, Host Controller sets the corresponding bit in this register.
When a bit becomes set, a hardware interrupt is generated if the interrupt is
enabled in the HcInterruptEnable register and the MasterInterruptEnable bit is
set. The Host Controller Driver may clear specific bits in this register by writing
‘1’ to bit positions to be cleared. The Host Controller Driver may not set any of
these bits. The Host Controller will never clear the bit.
Bit 31 Reserved and read as 0.
Bit 30 OwnershipChange Status
This bit is set by HC when HCD sets the OwnershipChangeRequest field in
HcCommandStatus. This event, when unmasked, will always generate an System
Management Interrupt (SMI) immediately.
This bit is tied to 0b when the SMI pin is not implemented.
Bits 29:7 Reserved
Bit 6 RootHubStatusChange Status
This bit is set when the content of HcRhStatus or the content of any of
HcRhPortStatus[NumberofDownstreamPort] has changed.
Bit 5 FrameNumberOverflow Status
This bit is set when the MSb of HcFmNumber (bit 15) changes value, from 0 to 1
or from 1 to 0, and after HccaFrameNumber has been updated.
Bit 4 UnrecoverableError Status
This bit is set when HC detects a system error not related to USB. HC should not
proceed with any processing nor signaling before the system error has been
corrected. HCD clears this bit after HC has been reset.
This event is not implemented and is hard-coded to ‘0’.
Bit 3 ResumeDetected Status
This bit is set when HC detects that a device on the USB is asserting resume
signaling. It is the transition from no resume signaling to resume signaling causing
this bit to be set. This bit is not set when HCD sets the USBRESUME state.
Bit 2 StartofFrame Status
This bit is set by HC at each start of a frame and after the update of
HccaFrameNumber. HC also generates a SOF token at the same time.
Bit 1 WritebackDoneHead Status
This bit is set immediately after HC has written HcDoneHead to HccaDoneHead.
Further updates of the HccaDoneHead will not occur until this bit has been
cleared. HCD should only clear this bit after it has saved the content of
HccaDoneHead.
Bit 0 SchedulingOverrun Status
This bit is set when the USB schedule for the current Frame overruns and after the
update of HccaFrameNumber. A scheduling overrun will also cause the
SchedulingOverrunCount of HcCommandStatus to be incremented.
Register 10h HcInterruptEnable Register

Each enable bit in the HcInterruptEnable register corresponds to an associated
interrupt bit in the HcInterruptStatus register. The HcInterruptEnable register is
used to control which events generate a hardware interrupt. When a bit is set in
the HcInterruptStatus register AND the corresponding bit in the HcInterruptEnable
register is set AND the MasterInterruptEnable bit is set, then a hardware
interrupt is requested on the host bus.
Writing a '1' to a bit in this register sets the corresponding bit, whereas writing a '0'
to a bit in this register leaves the corresponding bit unchanged. On read, the
current value of this register is returned.
Bit 31 A ‘0’ written to this field is ignored by HC. A '1' written to this field enables
interrupt generation due to events specified in the other bits of this register.
This is used by HCD as a Master Interrupt Enable.
Bit 30 OwnershipChange Enable
0: Ignore
1: Enable interrupt generation due to Ownership Change.
Bits 29:7 Reserved
Bit 6 RootHubStatusChange Enable

0: Ignore
1: Enable interrupt generation due to HcDoneHead Writeback.
Bit 0 SchedulingOverrun Enable
0: Ignore
1: Enable interrupt generation due to Scheduling Overrun.
Register 14h HcInterruptDisable Register

Each disable bit in the HcInterruptDisable register corresponds to an associated
interrupt bit in the HcInterruptStatus register. The HcInterruptDisable register is
coupled with the HcInterruptEnable register. Thus, writing a '1' to a bit in this
register clears the corresponding bit in the HcInterruptEnable register, whereas
writing a '0' to a bit in this register leaves the corresponding bit in the
HcInterruptEnable register unchanged. On read, the current value of the
HcInterruptEnable register is returned.
Bit 31 A '0' written to this field is ignored by HC. A '1' written to this field disables
interrupt generation due to events specified in the other bits of this register.
This field is set after a hardware or software reset.
Bit 30 OwnershipChange Disable
0: Ignore
1: Disable interrupt generation due to Ownership Change.
Bits 29:7 Reserved
Bit 6 RootHubStatusChange Disable
0: Ignore
1: Disable interrupt generation due to Root Hub Status Change.

1: Disable interrupt generation due to Resume Detect.
Bit 2 StartFrame Disable
0: Ignore
1: Disable interrupt generation due to Start of Frame.
Bit 1 WritebackDoneHead Disable
0: Ignore
1: Disable interrupt generation due to HcDoneHead Writeback.
Bit 0 Scheduling Overrun Disable
0: Ignore
1: Disable interrupt generation due to Scheduling Overrun.
6.5.2.2 Memory Pointer Partition
Register 18h HcHCCA Register
The HcHCCA register contains the physical address of the Host Controller
Communication Area. The Host Controller Driver determines the alignment
restrictions by writing all 1s to HcHCCA and reading the content of HcHCCA.
The alignment is evaluated by examining the number of zeroes in the lower order
bits. The minimum alignment is 256 bytes; therefore, bits 0 through 7 must always
return '0' when read. This area is used to hold the control structures and the
Interrupt table that are accessed by both the Host Controller and the Host
Controller Driver.
Bits 31:8 This is the base address of the Host Controller Communication Area.
Bits 7:0 Reserved and read as ‘0’.
Register 1Ch HcPeriodCurrentED Register

The HcPeriodCurrentED register contains the physical address of the current
Isochronous or Interrupt Endpoint Descriptor.
Bits 31:4 PeriodCurrentED

This is used by HC to point to the head of one of the Periodic lists which will be
processed in the current Frame. The content of this register is updated by HC after
a periodic ED has been processed. HCD may read the content in determining
which ED is currently being processed at the time of reading.
Bits 3:0 Reserved and read as “0”.
Register 20h HcControlHeadED Register

The HcControlHeadED register contains the physical address of the first Endpoint
Descriptor of the Control list.
Bits 31:4 ControlHeadED
HC traverses the Control list starting with the HcControlHeadED pointer. The
content is loaded from HCCA during the initialization of HC.
Register 24h HcControlCurrentED Register

The HcControlCurrentED register contains the physical address of the current
Endpoint Descriptor of the Control list.
Bits 31:4 ControlCurrentED
This pointer is advanced to the next ED after serving the present one. HC will
continue processing the list from where it left off in the last Frame. When it
reaches the end of the Control list, HC checks the ControlListFilled of in
HcCommandStatus. If set, it copies the content of HcControlHeadED to
HcControlCurrentED and clears the bit. If not set, it does nothing. HCD is
allowed to modify this register only when the ControlListEnable of HcControl is
cleared. When set, HCD only reads the instantaneous value of this register.
Initially, this is set to zero to indicate the end of the Control list.
Register 28h HcBulkHeadED Register

The HcBulkHeadED register contains the physical address of the first Endpoint
Descriptor of the Bulk list.
Bits 31:4 BulkHeadED
HC traverses the Bulk list starting with the HcBulkHeadED pointer. The content
is loaded from HCCA during the initialization of HC.
Register 2Ch HcBulkCurrentED Register

The HcBulkCurrentED register contains the physical address of the current
endpoint of the Bulk list. As the Bulk list will be served in a round-robin fashion,
the endpoints will be ordered according to their insertion to the list.
Bits 31:4 BulkCurrentED
This is advanced to the next ED after the HC has served the present one. HC
continues processing the list from where it left off in the last Frame. When it
reaches the end of the Bulk list, HC checks the ControlListFilled of HcControl.
If set, it copies the content of HcBulkHeadED to HcBulkCurrentED and clears the
bit. If it is not set, it does nothing. HCD is only allowed to modify this register
when the BulkListEnable of HcControl is cleared. When set, the HCD only reads
the instantaneous value of this register. This is initially set to zero to indicate the
end of the Bulk list.
Register 30h HcDoneHead Register

The HcDoneHead register contains the physical address of the last completed
Transfer Descriptor that was added to the Done queue. In normal operation, the
Host Controller Driver should not need to read this register as its content is
periodically written to the HCCA.
Bits 31:4 DoneHead
When a TD is completed, HC writes the content of HcDoneHead to the NextTD
field of the TD. HC then overwrites the content of HcDoneHead with the address
of this TD.
This is set to zero whenever HC writes the content of this register to HCCA. It
also sets the WritebackDoneHead of HcInterruptStatus.
6.5.2.3 Frame Counter Partition
Register 34h HcFmInterval Register
The HcFmInterval register contains a 14-bit value which indicates the bit time
interval in a Frame, (i.e., between two consecutive SOFs), and a 15-bit value
indicating the Full Speed maximum packet size that the Host Controller may
transmit or receive without causing scheduling overrun. The Host Controller
Driver may carry out minor adjustment on the FrameInterval by writing a new
value over the present one at each SOF. This provides the programmability
necessary for the Host Controller to synchronize with an external clocking
resource and to adjust any unknown local clock offset.
Bit 31 FrameIntervalToggle
HCD toggles this bit whenever it loads a new value to FrameInterval.
Bits 30:16 FSLargestDataPacket
This field specifies a value which is loaded into the Largest Data Packet Counter at
the beginning of each frame. The counter value represents the largest amount of
data in bits which can be sent or received by the HC in a single transaction at any
given time without causing scheduling overrun. The field value is calculated by the
HCD.
Bits 15:14 Reserved
Bits 13:0 FrameInterval
This specifies the interval between two consecutive SOFs in bit times. The
nominal value is set to be 11,999.
HCD should store the current value of this field before resetting HC. By setting
the HostControllerReset field of HcCommandStatus as this will cause the HC to
reset this field to its nominal value. HCD may choose to restore the stored value
upon the completion of the Reset sequence.
Register 38h HcFmRemaining Register

The HcFmRemaining register is a 14-bit down counter showing the bit time
remaining in the current Frame.
Bit 31 FrameRemainingToggle
This bit is loaded from the FrameIntervalToggle field of HcFmInterval whenever
FrameRemaining reaches 0. This bit is used by HCD for the synchronization
between FrameInterval and FrameRemaining.
Bits 30:14 Reserved
Bits 13:0 FrameRemaining
This counter is decremented at each bit time. When it reaches zero, it is reset by
loading the FrameInterval value specified in HcFmInterval at the next bit time
boundary. When entering the USBOPERATIONAL state, HC re-loads the content
with the FrameInterval of HcFmInterval and uses the updated value from the
next SOF.
Register 3Ch HcFmNumber Register

The HcFmNumber register is a 16-bit counter. It provides a timing reference among events
happening in the Host Controller and the Host Controller Driver. The Host Controller Driver
may use the 16-bit value specified in this register and generate a 32-bit frame number without
requiring frequent access to the register.
Bits 31:16 Reserved
Bits 15:0 FrameNumber
This is incremented when HcFmRemaining is re-loaded. It will be rolled over to
0h after ffffh. When entering the USBOPERATIONAL state, this will be incremented
automatically. The content will be written to HCCA after HC has incremented the
FrameNumber at each frame boundary and sent a SOF but before HC reads the
first ED in that Frame. After writing to HCCA, HC will set the StartofFrame in
HcInterruptStatus.
Register 40h HcPeriodicStart Register

The HcPeriodicStart register has a 14-bit programmable value which determines
when is the earliest time HC should start processing the periodic list.
Bits 31:14 Reserved
Bits 13:0 PeriodicStart
After a hardware reset, this field is cleared. This is then set by HCD during the HC
initialization. The value is calculated roughly as 10% off from HcFmInterval. A
typical value will be 3E67h. When HcFmRemaining reaches the value specified,
processing of the periodic lists will have priority over Control/Bulk processing.
HC will therefore start processing the Interrupt list after completing the current
Control or Bulk transaction that is in progress.
Register 44h HcLSThreshold Register

The HcLSThreshold register contains an 11-bit value used by the Host Controller
to determine whether to commit to the transfer of a maximum of 8-byte LS packet
before EOF. Neither the Host Controller nor the Host Controller Driver are
allowed to change this value.
Bits 31:12 Reserved
Bits 11:0 LSThreshold
This field contains a value which is compared to the FrameRemaining field prior
to initiating a Low Speed transaction. The transaction is started only if
FrameRemaining ≥ this field. The value is calculated by HCD with the
consideration of transmission and setup overhead.
6.5.2.4 Root Hub Partition

All registers included in this partition are dedicated to the USB Root Hub which is an integral
part of the Host Controller though still a functionally separate entity. The HCD emulates
USBD accesses to the Root Hub via a register interface. The HCD maintains many USB-
defined hub features which are not required to be supported in hardware. For example, the
Hub's Device, Configuration, Interface, and Endpoint Descriptors are maintained only in the
HCD as well as some static fields of the Class Descriptor. The HCD also maintains and
decodes the Root Hub's device address as well as other trivial operations which are better
suited to software than hardware.
The Root Hub register interface is otherwise developed to maintain similarity of bit
organization and operation to typical hubs which are found in the system. Below are four
register definitions: HcRhDescriptorA, HcRhDescriptorB, HcRhStatus, and
HcRhPortStatus[1:2]. Each register is read and written as a Dword. These registers are only
written during initialization to correspond with the system implementation. The
HcRhDescriptorA and HcRhDescriptorB registers should be implemented such that they are
writeable regardless of the HC USB state. HcRhStatus and HcRhPortStatus must be writeable
during the USBOPERATIONAL state.
Register 48h HcRhDescriptorA Register

The HcRhDescriptorA register is the first register of two describing the
characteristics of the Root Hub. Reset values are implementation-specific. The
descriptor length (11), descriptor type (TBD), and hub controller current (0) fields
of the hub Class Descriptor are emulated by the HCD. All other fields are located
in the HcRhDescriptorA and HcRhDescriptorB registers.
Bits 31:24 PowerOnToPowerGoodTime
This byte specifies the duration HCD has to wait before accessing a powered-on
port of the Root Hub. It is implementation-specific. The unit of time is 2 ms. The
duration is calculated as POTPGT * 2 ms.
Bits 23:13 Reserved
Bit 12 NoOverCurrentProtection
This bit describes how the overcurrent status for the Root Hub ports are reported.
When this bit is cleared, the OverCurrentProtectionMode field specifies global
or per-port reporting.
0: Over-current status is reported collectively for all downstream ports
1: No overcurrent protection supported
Bit 11 OverCurrentProtectionMode
This bit describes how the overcurrent status for the Root Hub ports are reported.
At reset, this fields should reflect the same mode as PowerSwitchingMode. This
field is valid only if the NoOverCurrentProtection field is cleared.
0: over-current status is reported collectively for all downstream ports
1: over-current status is reported on a per-port basis
Bit 10 DeviceType
This bit specifies that the Root Hub is not a compound device. The Root Hub is
not permitted to be a compound device. This field should always read/write 0.
Bit 9 NoPowerSwitching
These bits are used to specify whether power switching is supported or port are
always powered. SiS Chip USB HC supports global power switching mode. When
this bit is cleared, the PowerSwitchingMode specifies global or per-port
switching.
0: Ports are power switched
1: Ports are always powered on when the HC is powered on
Bit 8 PowerSwitchingMode
This bit is used to specify how the power switching of the Root Hub ports is
controlled. SiS Chip USB HC supports global power switching mode. This field is
only valid if the NoPowerSwitching field is cleared.
0: all ports are powered at the same time.
1: Each port is powered individually. This mode allows port power to be
controlled by either the global switch or per-port switching. If the
PortPowerControlMask bit is set, the port responds only to port power
commands (Set/ClearPortPower). If the port mask is cleared, then the port is
controlled only by the global power switch (Set/ClearGlobalPower).
Bits 7:0 NumberDownstreamPorts
These bits specify the number of downstream ports supported by the Root Hub.
SiS Chip USB HC supports two downstream ports.
Register 4Ch HcRhDescriptorB Register

The HcRhDescriptorB register is the second register of two describing the
characteristics of the Root Hub. These fields are written during initialization to
configure the Root Hub.
Bits 31:16 PortPowerControlMask

Each bit indicates if a port is affected by a global power control command when
PowerSwitchingMode is set. When set, the port's power state is only affected by
per-port power control (Set/ClearPortPower). When cleared, the port is
controlled by the global power switch (Set/ClearGlobalPower). If the device is
configured to global switching mode ( PowerSwitchingMode=0), this field is not
valid.
SiS Chip USB HC implements global power switching.
bit 0: Reserved
bit 1: Ganged-power mask on Port #1
bit 2: Ganged-power mask on Port #2
...
bit15: Ganged-power mask on Port #15
Bits 15:0 DeviceRemovable
Each bit is dedicated to a port of the Root Hub. When cleared, the attached device
is removable. When set, the attached device is not removable.
bit 0: Reserved
bit 1: Device attached to Port #1
bit 2: Device attached to Port #2
...
bit15: Device attached to Port #15
Register 50h HcRhStatus Register

The HcRhStatus register is divided into two parts. The lower word of a Dword
represents the Hub Status field and the upper word represents the Hub Status
Change field. Reserved bits should always be written '0'.
Bit 31 ClearRemoteWakeupEnable(write)
Writing a '1' clears DeviceRemoveWakeupEnable. Writing a '0' has no effect.
Bits 30:18 Reserved
Bit 17 OverCurrentIndicatorChange
This bit is set by hardware when a change has occurred to the OCI field of this
register. The HCD clears this bit by writing a ‘1’. Writing a ‘0’has no effect.
Bit 16 LocalPowerStatusChange(read)
The Root Hub does not support the local power status feature; thus, this bit is
always read as ‘0’.
SetGlobalPower(write)
In global power mode (PowerSwitchingMode=0), This bit is written to ‘1’ to turn
on power to all ports (clear PortPowerStatus). In per-port power mode, it sets
PortPowerStatus only on ports whose PortPowerControlMask bit is not set.
Writing a ‘0’has no effect.
Bit 15 DeviceRemoteWakeupEnable(read)
This bit enables a ConnectStatusChange bit as a resume event, causing a
USBSUSPEND to USBRESUME state transition and setting the ResumeDetected
interrupt.
0: ConnectStatusChange is not a remote wakeup event.
1: ConnectStatusChange is a remote wakeup event.
SetRemoteWakeupEnable(write)
Writing a '1' sets DeviceRemoveWakeupEnable. Writing a '0' has no effect.
Bits 14:2 Reserved
Bit 1 OverCurrentIndicator
This bit reports overcurrent conditions when the global reporting is implemented.
When set, an overcurrent condition exists. When cleared, all power operations are
normal. If per-port overcurrent protection is implemented this bit is always ‘0’
Bit 0 LocalPowerStatus(read)
The Root Hub does not support the local power status feature; thus, this bit is
always read as ‘0’.
ClearGlobalPower(write)
In global power mode (PowerSwitchingMode=0), This bit is written to ‘1’ to turn
off power to all ports (clear PortPowerStatus). In per-port power mode, it clears
PortPowerStatus only on ports whose PortPowerControlMask bit is not set.
Writing a ‘0’has no effect.
Register 54h/58h HcRhPortStatus[1:2] Register

The HcRhPortStatus[1:2] register is used to control and report port events on a
per-port basis. Two HcRhPortStatus registers that are implemented in hardware.
The lower word is used to reflect the port status, whereas the upper word reflects
the status change bits. Some status bits are implemented with special write
behavior (see below). If a transaction (token through handshake) is in progress
when a write to change port status occurs, the resulting port status change must be
postponed until the transaction completes. Reserved bits should always be written
'0'.
Bits 31:21 Reserved
Bit 20 PortResetStatusChange
This bit is set at the end of the 10-ms port reset signal.
The HCD writes a ‘1’to clear this bit. Writing a ‘0’has no effect.
0: port reset is not complete
1: port reset is complete
Bit 19 PortOverCurrentIndicatorChange
This bit is valid only if overcurrent conditions are reported on a per-port basis.
This bit is set when Root Hub changes the PortOverCurrentIndicator bit. The
HCD writes a ‘1’to clear this bit. Writing a ‘0’has no effect.
0: no change in PortOverCurrentIndicator
1: PortOverCurrentIndicator has changed
Bit 18 PortSuspendStatusChange
This bit is set when the full resume sequence has been completed. This sequence
includes the 20-s resume pulse, LS EOP, and 3-ms resychronization delay. The
HCD writes a ‘1’ to clear this bit. Writing a ‘0’ has no effect. This bit is also
cleared when ResetStatusChange is set.
0: resume is not completed
1: resume completed
Bit 17 PortEnableStatusChange
This bit is set when hardware events cause the PortEnableStatus bit to be cleared.
Changes from HCD writes do not set this bit. The HCD writes a ‘1’ to clear this
bit. Writing a ‘0’has no effect.
0: no change in PortEnableStatus
1: change in PortEnableStatus
Bit 16 ConnectStatusChange
This bit is set whenever a connect or disconnect event occurs. The HCD writes a
‘1’ to clear this bit. Writing a ‘0’ has no effect. If CurrentConnectStatus is
cleared when a SetPortReset, SetPortEnable, or SetPortSuspend write occurs,
this bit is set to force the driver to re-evaluate the connection status since these
writes should not occur if the port is disconnected.
0: no change in CurrentConnectStatus
1: change in CurrentConnectStatus
Note: If the DeviceRemovable[NDP] bit is set, this bit is set only after a Root
Hub reset to inform the system that the device is attached.
Bits 15:10 Reserved
Bit 9 LowSpeedDeviceAttached(read)
This bit indicates the speed of the device attached to this port. When set, a Low
Speed device is attached to this port. When clear, a Full Speed device is attached
to this port. This field is valid only when the CurrentConnectStatus is set.
0: full speed device attached
1: low speed device attached
ClearPortPower(write)
The HCD clears the PortPowerStatus bit by writing a ‘1’to this bit. Writing a ‘0’
has no effect.
Bit 8 PortPowerStatus(read)
This bit reflects the port’s power status, regardless of the type of power switching
implemented. This bit is cleared if an overcurrent condition is detected. HCD sets
this bit by writing SetPortPower or SetGlobalPower. HCD clears this bit by
writing ClearPortPower or ClearGlobalPower. Which power control switches
are enabled is determined by PowerSwitchingMode and
PortPortControlMask[NDP]. In global switching mode
(PowerSwitchingMode=0), only Set/ClearGlobalPower controls this bit. In per-
port power switching (PowerSwitchingMode=1), if the
PortPowerControlMask[NDP] bit for the port is set, only Set/ClearPortPower
commands are enabled. If the mask is not set, only Set/ClearGlobalPower
commands are enabled. When port power is disabled, CurrentConnectStatus,
PortEnableStatus, PortSuspendStatus, and PortResetStatus should be reset.
0: port power is off
1: port power is on
SetPortPower(write)
The HCD writes a ‘1’to set the PortPowerStatus bit. Writing a ‘0’has no effect.
Note: This bit is always reads ‘1b’if power switching is not supported.
Bits 7:5 Reserved
Bit 4 PortResetStatus(read)
When this bit is set by a write to SetPortReset, port reset signaling is asserted.
When reset is completed, this bit is cleared when PortResetStatusChange is set.
This bit cannot be set if CurrentConnectStatus is cleared.
0: port reset signal is not active
1: port reset signal is active
SetPortReset(write)
The HCD sets the port reset signaling by writing a ‘1’ to this bit. Writing a ‘0’ has
no effect. If CurrentConnectStatus is cleared, this write does not set
PortResetStatus, but instead sets ConnectStatusChange. This informs the driver
that it attempted to reset a disconnected port.
Bit 3 PortOverCurrentIndicator(read)
This bit is only valid when the Root Hub is configured in such a way that
overcurrent conditions are reported on a per-port basis. If per-port overcurrent
reporting is not supported, this bit is set to 0. If cleared, all power operations are
normal for this port. If set, an overcurrent condition exists on this port. This bit
always reflects the overcurrent input signal
0: no overcurrent condition.
1: overcurrent condition detected.
ClearSuspendStatus(write)
The HCD writes a ‘1’ to initiate a resume. Writing a ‘0’ has no effect. A resume
is initiated only if PortSuspendStatus is set.
Bit 2 PortSuspendStatus(read)
This bit indicates the port is suspended or in the resume sequence. It is set by a
SetSuspendState write and cleared when PortSuspendStatusChange is set at the
end of the resume interval. This bit cannot be set if CurrentConnectStatus is
cleared. This bit is also cleared when PortResetStatusChange is set at the end of
the port reset or when the HC is placed in the USBRESUME state. If an upstream
resume is in progress, it should propagate to the HC.
0: port is not suspended
1: port is suspended
SetPortSuspend(write)
The HCD sets the PortSuspendStatus bit by writing a ‘1’ to this bit. Writing a
‘0’ has no effect. If CurrentConnectStatus is cleared, this write does not set
PortSuspendStatus; instead it sets ConnectStatusChange. This informs the
driver that it attempted to suspend a disconnected port.
Bit 1 PortEnableStatus(read)
This bit indicates whether the port is enabled or disabled. The Root Hub may clear
this bit when an overcurrent condition, disconnect event, switched-off power, or
operational bus error such as babble is detected. This change also causes
PortEnabledStatusChange to be set. HCD sets this bit by writing
SetPortEnable and clears it by writing ClearPortEnable. This bit cannot be set
when CurrentConnectStatus is cleared. This bit is also set, if not already, at the
completion of a port reset when ResetStatusChange is set or port suspend when
SuspendStatusChange is set.
0: port is disabled
1: port is enabled
SetPortEnable(write)
The HCD sets PortEnableStatus by writing a ‘1’. Writing a ‘0’ has no effect. If
CurrentConnectStatus is cleared, this write does not set PortEnableStatus, but
instead sets ConnectStatusChange. This informs the driver that it attempted to
enable a disconnected port.
Bit 0 CurrentConnectStatus(read)
This bit reflects the current state of the downstream port.
0: no device connected
1: device connected
ClearPortEnable(write)
The HCD writes a ‘1’ to this bit to clear the PortEnableStatus bit. Writing a ‘0’
has no effect. The CurrentConnectStatus is not affected by any write.
Note: This bit is always read ‘1b’ when the attached device is nonremovable
(DeviceRemoveable[NDP]).
6.5.2.5 Legacy Support Registers

Four operational registers are used to provide the legacy support . Each of these registers is
located on a 32-bit boundary. The offset of these registers is relative to the base address of the
Host Controller operational registers with HceControl located at offset 100h.
Table 6-1
Offset Register Description
100h HceControl Used to enable and control the emulation hardware and
report various status information.
104h HceInput Emulation side of the legacy Input Buffer register.
108h HceOutput Emulation side of the legacy Output Buffer register where
keyboard and mouse data is to be written by software.
10Ch HceStatus Emulation side of the legacy Status register.
Three of the operational registers (HceStatus, HceInput, HceOutput) are accessible at I/O
address 60h and 64h when emulation is enabled. Reads and writes to the registers using I/O
addresses have side effects as outlined in the Table 6-2.
Table 6-2
I/O Cycle Register Contents
Address Type Accessed/Modified Side Effects
60h IN HceOutput IN from port 60h willOutputFull

HceStatus to 0
60h OUT HceInput OUT to port 60h willInputFull
set to 1
andCmdData to 0 inHceStatus.
64h IN HceStatus IN from port 64h returns current value of
HceStatus with no other side effect.
64h OUT HceInput OUT to port 64h willInputFull
set to 0
and CmdDataHceStatus

Register 100h HceControl Register
Bits 31:9 Reserved.
and read as 0s.
Bit 8 A20State
Indicates current state of Gate A20 on keyboard controller. Used to compare
against value to 60h when GateA20Sequence is active.
Bit 7 IRQ12Active
Indicates that a positive transition on IRQ12 from keyboard controller has
occurred. SW may write a 1 to this bit to clear it (set it to 0). SW write of a 0 to
this bit has no effect.
Bit 6 IRQ1Active
Indicates that a positive transition on IRQ1 from keyboard controller has occurred.
SW may write a 1 to this bit to clear it (set it to 0). SW write of a 0 to this bit has
no effect.
Bit 5 GateA20Sequence
Set by HC when a data value of D1h is written to I/O port 64h. Cleared by HC on
write to I/O port 64h of any value other than D1h.
Bit 4 ExternalIRQEn
When set to 1, IRQ1 and IRQ12 from the keyboard controller causes an emulation
interrupt. The function controlled by this bit is independent of the setting of the
EmulationEnable bit in this register.
Bit 3 IRQEn
When set, the HC generates IRQ1 or IRQ12 as long as the OutputFull bit in
HceStatus is set to 1. If the AuxOutputFull bit of HceStatus is 0, then IRQ1 is
generated; if it is 1, then an IRQ12 is generated.
Bit 2 CharacterPending
When set, an emulation interrupt is generated when the OutputFull bit of the
HceStatus register is set to 0.
Bit 1 EmulationInterrupt
This bit is a static decode of the emulation interrupt condition.
Bit 0 EmulationEnable
When set to 1, the HC is enabled for legacy emulation. The HC decodes accesses
to I/O registers 60h and 64h and generates IRQ1 and/or IRQ12 when appropriate.
Additionally, the HC generate s an emulation interrupt at appropriate times to
invoke the emulation software.
Register 104h HceInput Register

Bits 31:8 Reserved
Bits 7:0 InputData
This register holds data that is written to I/O ports 60h and 64h.
I/O data that is written to ports 60h and 64h is captured in this register when
emulation is enabled. This register may be read or written directly by accessing it
with its memory address in the Host Controller’s operational register space. When
accessed directly with a memory cycle, reads and writes of this register have no
side effects.
Register 108h HceOutput Register

Bits 31:8 Reserved
Bits 7:0 OutputData
This register hosts data that is returned when an I/O read of port 60h is performed
by application software.
The data placed in this register by the emulation software is returned when I/O
port 60h is read and emulation is enabled. On a read of this location, the
OutputFull bit in HceStatus is set to 0.
Register 10Ch HceStatus Register

Bits 31:8 Reserved
Bit 7 Parity
Indicates parity error on keyboard/mouse data.
Bit 6 Time-out
Used to indicate a time-out
Bit 5 AuxOutputFull
IRQ12 is asserted whenever this bit is set to 1 and OutputFull is set to 1 and the
IRQEn bit is set.
Bit 4 Inhibit Switch
This bit reflects the state of the keyboard inhibit switch and is set if the keyboard is
NOT inhibited.
Bit 3 CmdData
The HC sets this bit to 0 on an I/O write to port 60h and to 1 on an I/O write to
port 64h.
Bit 2 Flag
Nominally used as a system flag by software to indicate a warm or cold boot.
Bit 1 InputFull
Except for the case of a Gate A20 sequence, this bit is set to 1 on an I/O write to
address 60h or 64h. While this bit is set to 1 and emulation is enabled, an
emulation interrupt condition exists.
Bit 0 OutputFull
The HC sets this bit to 0 on a read of I/O port 60h. If IRQEn is set and
AuxOutputFull is set to 0, then an IRQ1 is generated as long as this bit is set to 1.
If IRQEn is set and AuxOutputFull is set to 1, then an IRQ12 is generated as
long as this bit is set to 1. While this bit is 0 and CharacterPending in
HceControl is set to 1, an emulation interrupt condition exists.
The contents of the HceStatus Register are returned on an I/O Read of port 64h
when emulation is enabled. Reads and writes of port 60h and writes to port 64h
can cause changes in this register. Emulation software can directly access this
register through its memory address in the Host Controller’s operational register
space. Accessing this register through its memory address produces no side
effects.

Before writing to this register, 3C8h is written with the DAC index. Then
three values, corresponding to the Red, Green, and Blue values for the
DAC entry are written. After the third value is written, the values are
transferred to the LUT and the DAC index is incremented in case new
values for the next DAC index are to be written.
Before reading from this register, 3C7h is written with the DAC index.
Then three values, corresponding to the Red, Green, and Blue value for the
DAC entry may be read from this DAC index. After the third value is read,
the DAC index is incremented in case the value for the next DAC index to
be read.

6.6.8 Graphics Engine Related Registers

SiS chipset integrated graphics controller supports a powerful graphics engine to enhance the
performance. The functions of the graphics engine in SiS chipset include BitBlt, BitBlt with
mask, Color/Font Expansion, Enhanced Color/Font Expansion, Line Drawing, and Direct
Draw.
Since the register formats for the line drawing and Direct Draw are different from those of the
other general engine functions, we would like to describe these three register formats
separately in the following paragraphs:
6.6.9 Register Format for General Engine Functions
6.6.10 Register Format for Line Drawing
6.6.11 Register Format for Direct Draw
6.6.9 Register Format for General Engine Functions

The following table shows the register format for the general Graphics Engine functions.

Description:
This register contains the video capture FIFO threshold low and the video capture FIFO
threshold high.
The threshold low defines the FIFO lower boundary which indicates the FIFO is full enough
and the data in the FIFO can be written into the DRAM. But if the priority of the threshold
low is lower than others, it can wait until it is able to write the data of FIFO into the
DRAM.
The threshold high defines the FIFO upper boundary which indicates the FIFO is about to
be overflow and the data of the FIFO must be written into the DRAM as soon as possible.
These two thresholds should be modified to catch the maximum performance by
compromising with the CRT threshold, video display threshold, and DRAM refresh rate,
etc.
