***Info:
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 5581 and SiS 5582, to
assist board designers for their board layouts.
SiS 5581’s pin assignment is based on NLX, and LPX form factor, while
SiS 5582’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 5581 or 5582 chipsets, decided by the placements of form factors
on PC boards of customers. 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 and Integrated
Keyboard Controller.
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.
