4.2.6.2 LPC

Bus


The 82801 ICH2 implements a Low Pin Count (LPC) bus for handling transactions to and from
the 47B367 Super I/O Controller as well as the 82802 Firmware Hub (FWH). The LPC bus
transfers data a nibble (4 bits) at a time at a 33-MHz rate. Generally transparent in operation, the
only consideration required of the LPC bus is during the configuration of DMA channel modes
(see section 4.4.3 “DMA”).

During POST, the PCI bus is scanned for devices that contain their own specific firmware in
ROM. Such option ROM data, if detected, is loaded into system memory’s DOS compatibility
area (refer to the system memory map shown in chapter 3).
