The March '93 source makes no mention of the ZB variant, indicating
it was released after this date. The Oct'93 datasheet is only 2
pages, a full length version could not be found. Most differences
between the Mar'93 and the Oct'93 are indicated in the text. In
addition, the Mar'93 refers to the 82378IB specifically, the Oct'93
refers to the 82378 in general, and briefly explains the differences
between the IB and ZB variants.
The main difference between the IB and ZB variants is the number of
supported PCI masters and interrupts. The mar'93 datasheet claims that
the IB variant supports four. The Oct'93 source updates this by
claiming it only supports two and states that only the ZB variant
supports four. Perhaps the Mar'93 datasheet is a misprint, or the
chip didn't meet it's intended specification.
In Errata:1, more specifics are given. Dated Aug'93 the following
diff- erences are given:
"
82378IB * Name change from 82378IB to 82378ZB
Changes: * ZB eliminates all known IB errata
* Features/Enhancements include: Interrupt Steering Logic,
System Management Mode (SMM), leadframe change from copper
to Alloy 42.
Timing:
We anticipate production shipments for the 82378ZB to begin in
December 1993..."
Errata:2 gives further details. The document itself is undated, but
Errata:1 is hyperlinked to it. Its text is quoted in the Versions
section.
The Dec'94 datasheet makes no mention of either variant, it just
refers to the 82378. It would appear that this is the ZB variant. The
biggest change is again to the PCI masters. Now it supports 6 PCI
masters and still 4 PCI interrupts. It also now supports Advanced
Power Management. Differences are shown in the text. There are some
additional insignificant minor differences in the text not shown.
The Mar'96 datasheet again refers to the 82378ZB specifically. This
indicates that the chip described in the Dec'94 is *likely* the ZB
variant. This datasheet describes the 82378ZB and the 82379AB. Changes
in this datasheet have not been added to the quoted text below.
