**M1561/43/35D   Aladdin 7 ArtX    [no datasheet, some info]  11/08/99
***Notes:...
***Info & Features:
M1561 Overview

128-bit Super-Socket7  North Bridge for AMD-K6-III  with integrated 3D
and Video Highest-performance game playing in a single integrated chip

The M1561 integrates the following functionalities in a Unified Memory
Architecture PC:

o   3-D Graphics
o   2-D Windows Acceleration
o   VGA Display Controller
o   SDRAM Memory Controller
o   PCI Bus Interface

M1561  supports the  66/100/1XX MHz  Socket 7  Front Side  Bus.  It is
System Memory  Management (SMM)  and Advanced Configuration  and Power
Interface Specification (ACPI) compliant.

M1561 uses  66/100/1XX MHz SDRAM with LVTLL  input/output signals. The
chip supports up to four memory DIMMs.

Power supplies are 2.5V  for the core and 3.3V for most  of the I/O. A
5V  reference is  needed for  the  5V tolerant  PCI inputs.  Reference
voltages for ArtX and ArtX+ are  also needed.The part is packaged in a
35x35mm 492 ball Thermally Enhanced Ball Grid Array (T 2 BGA) package.

North Bridge Features
o   128-bit Data Streaming architecture for highest performance 
    SMA/UMA
o   PC99 compliant
o   100/66MHz CPU Front Side Bus, 1XXMHz ready
o   Standard PC-100/66 SDRAM (up to 1 GB) PC-1XX ready
o   33 MHz PCI 2.2 compliant I/O bus
o   ACPI power management
o   Compatible with single-chip ALi M1535D and M1543 South Bridges

databooks have been used one from  '86 the other from '91. Not all the
chips  are  listed  in  the  '86  databook, the  date  of  '87  is  an
assumption.
