XTX 820

Real Time Clock (RTC)/Battery

The XTX 820 supports a Real Time Clock (RTC) and CMOS RAM for the BIOS Setup Utility. The
RTC and 256 byte of CMOS RAM are included inside the I/O Hub (Southbridge) chip (82801FBM).
The RTC and CMOS are powered through pin-8 (BAT) on J4 with a Lithium Battery located on the
baseboard. If the battery is not present, the BIOS has a battery-free boot option to complete the boot
process. .

Signal

Description

3

5V_SB

5 volt Suspend – This control signal is sent to the ATX power supply for a
suspend or standby state.

4

PWGIN

Power Good In – This active high input signal indicates to the XTX 820, the
power is good and it can begin the boot process.

5

PS_ON

Power Supply On – This active-low output signal from the XTX 820 is sent
to the ATX power supply to turn it on.

7

PWRBTN*

Power Button – This signal provides a ground temporarily through an open
collector driver to the ATX power supply to change states (turn it on).

6

SPEAKER

Speaker – This PC speaker output signal must be connected to a speaker
(piezoelectric or dynamic) on the baseboard to hear the output (beeps).

11

RSMRST*

Resume Reset – This signal is driven low by external circuitry to reset the
power management logic on the XTX 820.

19

OVCR

Over Current Detect – This signal indicates a USB over-current condition.

8

BAT

Battery Voltage – This is the + battery connection to baseboard for +3 volt
lithium backup battery used for RTC operation and CMOS non-volatile
memory.

41

BATLOW*

Battery Low – This external signal to the XTX 820 indicates when the
external battery is low.

21

EXTSMI*

Extern System Management Interrupt – This signal is provided by external
circuitry to initiate an SMI event with the XTX 820.

23

SMBCLK

System Management Bus Clock – This signal is used to support internal and
external SMBus devices, such as temperature and battery monitoring.

24

SMBDATA

System Management Bus Data – This signal is used to support internal and
external SMBus devices, such as temperature and battery monitoring.

26

SMBALRT*

System Management Bus Alert – This signal is used by SMBus devices to
signal an event on the SM Bus.

Note: The shaded area denotes power or ground.

SMBus (I

2

C Bus)

The I/O Hub (82801FBM) contains an integrated SMBus controller with both a host and slave SMBus
port; but the host cannot access the slave internally. The slave port allows an external master access to
the I/O Hub (Southbridge) through the J4 connector. The master contained in the I/O Hub is used to
communicate with the Memory & Graphics Hub, DDR2 RAM EPROM, and the clock generator.

• The I

2

C slave address must not be the same as the I

2

C device on the baseboard.
