**5591/5592/5595 (David)   Pentium PCI A.G.P. Chipset        <01/09/98
***Info:
The SiS5591/5592  SiS5595 glueless P5  A.G.P. chipset provides  a high
performance/cost index  Desktop/Mobile solution for  the Intel Pentium
P54C/P55C, AMD K5/K6, and Cyrix M1/M2 A.G.P. system.

The SiS5591/SiS5592  A.G.P./PCI controller integrated  the Host-to-PCI
bridge, the L2 cache  controller, the DRAM controller, the Accelerated
Graphics  Port interface,  and the  PCI IDE  controller. The  L2 cache
controller can  support up to 1  M P.B. SRAM, and  the DRAM controller
can  support EDO/FP/SDRAM memory  up to  768 MB  with optional  ECC or
parity check  function. The  A.G.P. 1.0 compliance  interface supports
both  1X, and  2X speed  mode with  sideband address  capability.  The
built-in fast  PCI IDE  controller supports the  ATA PIO/DMA,  and the
Ultra DMA/33 functionality.

SiS5591  and SiS5592  have some  pin-out switching  to  facilitate the
main-board layout.  SiS5591 pin  assignment is based  on the  ATX form
factor,  and  SiS5592  pin  assignment   is  based  on  the  NLX  form
factor. Beside  the pin-out switching, SiS5591 and  SiS5592 is totally
the same on the internal logic circuit.

The SiS5595 PCI  system I/O integrates the PCI-to-ISA  bridge with the
DDMA,  and  Serial  IRQ  capability,  the ACPI/Legacy  PMU,  the  Data
Acquisition  Interface, the Universal  Serial Bus  host/hub interface,
and the ISA  bus interface which contains the  ISA bus controller, the
DMA controllers,  the interrupt controllers,  and the Timers.  It also
integrates the Keyboard controller, and the Real Time Clock (RTC). The
built-in USB controller,  which is fully compliant to  OHCI (Open Host
Controller  Interface),  provides two  USB  ports  capable of  running
full/low speed USB devices.  The Data Acquisition Interface offers the
ability of monitoring and reporting the environmental condition of the
PC. It could  monitor 4 positive analogue voltage  inputs, 2 Fan speed
inputs, and one temperature input.

***Info:
The  single  chipset, SiS540,  provides  a  high performance/low  cost
Desktop solution  for the Super Socket  7 series CPUs  based system by
integrating a  high performance North Bridge,  advanced hardware 2D/3D
GUI  engine  and  Super-South  bridge. In  addition,  SiS540  provides
system-on-chip solution  that complies  with Easy PC  Initiative which
supports Instantly Available/OnNow  PC technology, USB, Legacy Removal
and Slotless Design and FlexATX form factor.

By integrating  the Ultra-AGP technology and  advanced 128-bit graphic
display interface, SiS540  delivers high performance and up  to 2 GB/s
memory  bandwidth. Furthermore, SiS540  provides powerful  slice layer
decoding DVD  accelerator to improve the DVD  playback performance. In
addition to providing the  standard interface for CRT monitors, SiS540
also  provides  the Digital  Flat  Panel  Port  (DFP) for  a  standard
interface  between  a  personal  computer  and a  digital  flat  panel
monitor.  To  extend functionality and flexibility,  SiS also provides
the  "Video Bridge"  (SiS301) to  support the  NTSC/PAL  Video Output,
Digital  LCD Monitor  and  Secondary CRT  Monitor,  which reduces  the
external Panel  Link transmitter and TV-Out encoder  for cost effected
solution. SiS540  also adopts  Share System Memory  Architecture which
can flexibly utilize the frame buffer size up to 64MB.

The  "Super-South Bridge"  in  SiS540 integrates  all peripheral  con-
trollers/accelerators/interfaces.   SiS540  provides  a total  commun-
ication   solution  including  10/100Mb   Fast  Ethernet   for  Office
requirement.  SiS540 offers AC’97  compliant interface  that comprises
digital audio engine with 3D-hardware accelerator, on-chip sample rate
converter, and  professional wavetable  along with separate  modem DMA
controller.   SiS540 also provides  interface to  Low Pin  Count (LPC)
operating at 33 MHz clock which is  the same as PCI clock on the host,
and dual USB  host controller with four USB  ports that deliver better
connectivity and 2 x 12Mb bandwidth.

The built-in fast PCI IDE controller supports the ATA PIO/DMA, and the
Ultra DMA33/66 function that supports  the data transfer rate up to 66
MB/s. It provides  a separate data path for two  IDE channels that can
eminently improve the performance under the multi-tasking environment.
