LPC Interface
The following sub-sections specify the implementation of the LPC bus.
LPC Interface Signal Definition
The signals required for the LPC bus interface are described in the table below. LPC bus signals use
PCI 33MHz electrical signal characteristics.
SIGNAL NAME TYPE

DESCRIPTION
LPC address/data bus. Multiplexed command, address and data
bus.
Frame signal. Indicates start of new cycle and termination of broken
cycle
PCI Reset. Used as LPC Interface Reset.
Encoded DMA/Bus Master request for the LPC interface.
Power Mgt Event signal. Allows the LPC47B37x to request wakeup.
Powerdown Signal. Indicates that the LPC47B37x should prepare
for power to be shut on the LPC interface.
Serial IRQ.
PCI Clock.
LPC Cycles
The following cycle types are supported by the LPC protocol.
CYCLE TYPE
TRANSFER SIZE
I/O Write
1 Byte Transfer
I/O Read
1 Byte Transfer
DMA Write
1 Byte
DMA Read
1 Byte
The LPC47B37x ignores cycles that it does not support.
