Figure 1. KX133 System Block Diagram Using the VT82C686A South Bridge
The KX133 chip set consists of the VT8371 system controller (516 pin BGA) and the VT82C686A PCI to ISA bridge (352 pin
BGA). The system controller provides superior performance between the CPU, DRAM, AGP bus, and PCI bus with pipelined,
burst, and concurrent operation.
The VT8371 supports eight banks of DRAMs up to 2.0 GB. The DRAM controller supports standard Synchronous DRAM
(SDRAM) and Virtual Channel SDRAM (VC SDRAM), in a flexible mix / match manner. The Synchronous DRAM interface
allows zero wait state bursting between the DRAM and the data buffers at 66/100/133 MHz. The eight banks of DRAM can be
composed of an arbitrary mixture of 1M / 2M / 4M / 8M / 16M / 32MxN DRAMs. The DRAM controller also supports optional
ECC (single-bit error correction and multi-bit detection) or EC (error checking) capability separately selectable on a bank-by-bank
basis.
The VT8371 system controller also supports full AGP v2.0 capability for maximum bus utilization including 1x, 2x and 4x mode
transfers, SBA (SideBand Addressing), Flush/Fence commands, and pipelined grants. An eight level request queue plus a four
level post-write request queue with thirty-two and sixteen quadwords of read and write data FIFO's respectively are included for
deep pipelined and split AGP transactions. A single-level GART TLB with 16 full associative entries and flexible CPU / AGP /
PCI remapping control is also provided for operation under protected mode operating environments. Both Windows-95 VXD and
Windows-98 / Windows 2000 miniport drivers are supported for interoperability with major AGP-based 3D and DVD-capable
multimedia accelerators.
The VT8371 supports two 32-bit 3.3 / 5V system buses (one AGP and one PCI) that are synchronous / pseudo-synchronous to the
CPU bus. The chip also contains a built-in bus-to-bus bridge to allow simultaneous concurrent operations on each bus. Five levels
(doublewords) of post write buffers are included to allow for concurrent CPU and PCI operation. For PCI master operation, fortyeight levels (doublewords) of post write buffers and sixteen levels (doublewords) of prefetch buffers are included for concurrent

PCI bus and DRAM/cache accesses. The chip also supports enhanced PCI bus commands such as Memory-Read-Line, MemoryRead-Multiple and Memory-Write-Invalid commands to minimize snoop overhead. In addition, advanced features are supported
such as snoop ahead, snoop filtering, L1/L2 write-back forward to PCI master, and L1/L2 write-back merged with PCI post write
buffers to minimize PCI master read latency and DRAM utilization. Delay transaction and read caching mechanisms are also
implemented for further improvement of overall system performance.
The 352-pin Ball Grid Array VT82C686A PCI to ISA bridge supports four levels (doublewords) of line buffers, type F DMA
transfers and delay transaction to allow efficient PCI bus utilization and (PCI-2.1 compliant). The VT82C686A also includes an
integrated keyboard controller with PS2 mouse support, integrated DS12885 style real time clock with extended 256 byte CMOS
RAM, integrated master mode enhanced IDE controller with full scatter / gather capability and extension to UltraDMA-33/66 for
33/66 MB/sec transfer rate, integrated USB interface with root hub and four function ports with built-in physical layer transceivers,
Distributed DMA support, and OnNow / ACPI compliant advanced configuration and power management interface. The
VT82C686A also includes an AC97 / MC97 link for interface to external audio and modem codecs, and all “Super-I/O” functions
(serial ports, parallel port, and floppy drive interface and game port).
For sophisticated power management, KX133 provides independent clock stop control for the CPU / SDRAM, PCI, and AGP
buses and Dynamic CKE control for powering down of the SDRAM. A separate suspend-well plane is implemented for the
SDRAM control signals for Suspend-to-DRAM operation. The VT82C686A also includes a complete hardware monitoring
subsystem for monitoring and control of internal and external (motherboard and system) conditions including voltages,
temperatures, fan speeds, switch open/close states, etc. Coupled with the VT82C686A south bridge chip, a complete power
conscious PC main board can be implemented with no external TTLs.
The KX133 chipset is ideal for high performance, high quality, high energy efficient and high integration desktop AGP / PCI / ISA
computer systems.
