Introduction

Introduction
The Intel® 82845 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) is designed for use with the Intel® Pentium® 4
processor in the 478-pin package. The Intel® 845 chipset contains two main components: the
82845 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) for the host bridge and the Intel 82801BA I/O Controller
Hub (ICH2) for the I/O subsystem. The MCH provides the processor interface, system memory
interface, AGP interface, and hub interface in an 845 chipset desktop platform.
This document describes the 82845 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) for use with SDR (Single
Data Rate) memory devices. Section 1.3 provides an overview of the 845 chipset.
1.1
Terminology and Notations
This section provides the definitions of some of the terms used in this document. Notations used
for data types and numbers are also included. In addition, Section 3.1 contains register
terminology definitions.
Table 1. General Terminology
Term
Description
MCH
The Memory Controller Hub component that contains the processor interface, System
Memory DRAM controller, and AGP interface. It communicates with the I/O controller
hub (ICH2) and other IO controller hubs over proprietary interconnect called the hub
interface.
ICH2
The I/O Controller Hub component that contains the primary PCI interface, LPC
interface, USB, ATA-100, AC ’97, and other I/O functions. It communicates with the
MCH over a proprietary interconnect called the hub interface.
Host
This term is used synonymously with processor.
Core
The internal base logic in the MCH.
System Bus
Processor-to-MCH interface. The system bus runs at 400 MHz, from a 100 MHz quadpumped clock. It consists of source synchronous transfers for address and data, and
system bus interrupt delivery.
Hub Interface
The proprietary hub interconnect that connects the MCH to the ICH2. In this document
hub interface cycles originating from or destined for the primary PCI interface on the
ICH2 are generally referred to as hub interface cycles.
Accelerated
Graphics Port
(AGP)
Refers to the AGP interface that is in the MCH. The MCH supports AGP 2.0 compliant
components only with 1.5 V signaling level. PIPE# and SBA addressing cycles and their
associated data phases are generally referred to as AGP transactions. FRAME# cycles
over the AGP bus are generally referred to as AGP/PCI transactions.
PCI_A
The physical PCI bus, driven directly by the ICH2 component. It supports 5 V, 32-bit,
33 MHz PCI 2.2 compliant components. Communication between PCI_A and the MCH
occurs over the hub interface.
Note: Even though this PCI bus is referred to as PCI_A, it is not PCI Bus #0 from a
configuration standpoint.
Full Reset
®
A full MCH reset is defined in this document when RSTIN# is asserted.

Intel® 845 Chipset System Architecture
The MCH provides the processor interface, system memory interface, AGP interface, and hub
interface in an 845 chipset desktop platform. The processor interface supports the Pentium 4
processor subset of the Extended Mode of the Scalable Bus Protocol. The MCH supports a single
channel of PC133 SDRAM. The MCH contains advanced power management logic. The 845
chipset platform supports the I/O Controller Hub 2 (ICH2) to provide the features required by a
desktop platform.
®
Intel 82801BA I/O Controller Hub 2 (ICH2)
The ICH2 is a highly integrated multifunctional I/O Controller Hub that provides the interface to
the PCI Bus and integrates many of the functions needed in today’s PC platforms. The MCH and
ICH2 communicate over a dedicated hub interface. The 82801BA ICH2 Functions and capabilities
include:
• PCI Rev 2.2 compliant with support for 33 MHz PCI operations
• Supports up to 6 Request/Grant pairs (PCI slots)
• Power management logic support
• Enhanced DMA controller, interrupt controller, and timer functions
• Integrated IDE controller; Ultra ATA/100/66/33
• USB host interface; 2 host controllers and supports 4 USB ports
• Integrated LAN controller
• System Management Bus (SMBus) compatible with most I2C devices; ICH2 has both bus
master and slave capability
• AC ’97 2.1 compliant link for audio and telephony codecs; up to 6 channels (ICH2)
• Low Pin Count (LPC) interface
• FWH Interface (FWH Flash BIOS support)
• Alert on LAN* (AOL and AOL2)
1.4
Intel® 82845 MCH Overview
The MCH role in a system is to manage the flow of information between its four interfaces: the
system bus, the memory interface, the AGP port, and the hub interface. The MCH arbitrates
between the four interfaces, when each initiates an operation. While doing so, the MCH supports
data coherency via snooping and performs address translation for access to AGP Aperture
memory. To increase system performance, the MCH incorporates several queues and a write
cache.
The MCH is in a 593 pin FC-BGA package and contains the following functionality:
• Supports single Pentium 4 processor configuration at 400 MHz
• AGTL+ system bus with integrated termination supporting 32-bit system bus addressing
• Up to 3 GB (w/ 512 Mb technology) of PC133 SDRAM
• 1.5 V AGP interface with 4x SBA/data transfer and 2x/4x fast write capability
• 8 bit, 66 MHz 4x hub interface to the ICH2
• Distributed arbitration for highly concurrent operation

Introduction
R
1.4.1
System Bus Interface
The MCH is optimized for the Pentium 4 processor. The primary enhancements over the
Compatible Mode P6 bus protocol are:
• Source synchronous double-pumped address
• Source synchronous quad-pumped data
• System bus interrupt and side-band signal delivery
The MCH supports a 64-byte cache line size. Only one processor is supported at a system bus
frequency of 400 MHz. The MCH supports a 3:4 host-to-memory frequency ratio (using the
100 MHz clock). The MCH integrates AGTL+ termination resistors on all of the AGTL+ signals.
The MCH supports 32-bit system bus addresses, allowing the processor to access the entire 4 GB
of the MCH memory address space.
The MCH has a 12-deep In-Order Queue to support up to twelve outstanding pipelined address
requests on the system bus. The MCH supports two outstanding defer cycles at a time; however,
only one to any particular I/O interface. Processor-initiated I/O cycles are positively decoded to
AGP/PCI or MCH configuration space and subtractively decoded to the hub interface. Processorinitiated memory cycles are positively decoded to AGP/PCI or system memory, and are again
subtractively decoded to the hub interface, if under 4 GB. AGP semantic memory accesses
initiated from AGP/PCI to system memory are not snooped on the system bus. Memory accesses
initiated from AGP/PCI using PCI semantics and from the hub interface to system memory will be
snooped on the system bus. Memory accesses whose addresses lie within the AGP aperture are
translated using the AGP address translation table, regardless of the originating interface.
1.4.2
System Bus Error Checking
The MCH does not generate parity, nor check parity for data, address/request, and response
signals on the processor bus.

1.4.3
System Memory Interface
The MCH directly supports one channel of PC133 SDRAM. The memory interface supports
Single Data Rate (SDR) devices with densities of 64 Mb, 128 Mb, 256 Mb, and 512 Mb
technology. The memory interface also supports variable page sizes of 2 KB, 4 KB, 8 KB, and
16 KB. Page size is individually selected for every row and a maximum of 8 pages per DIMM may
be opened simultaneously.
The MCH supports a maximum of 3 double-sided DIMMs (6 rows populated) with unbuffered
PC133 (with or without ECC) Note that in mixed mode, populating ECC and Non-ECC memories
simultaneously is not supported.

The memory interface provides optional ECC error checking for system memory data integrity.
During system memory writes, ECC is generated on a QWord (64 bit) basis. Because the MCH
stores only entire cache lines in its internal buffers, partial QWord writes initially cause a read of
the underlying data, and their write-back into memory is no different from that of a complete cache
line. During system memory reads, and the read of the data that underlies partial writes, the MCH
supports detection of single-bit and multiple-bit errors, and will correct single-bit errors when
correction is enabled.
The MCH supports a thermal management scheme to selectively manage reads and/or writes.
Thermal management can be triggered by preset read/write bandwidth limits.
1.4.4
AGP Interface
A single AGP component or connector (not both) is supported by the MCH AGP interface. The
AGP buffers operate only in 1.5 V mode. They are not 3.3 V safe.
The AGP interface supports 1x/2x/4x AGP signaling and 2x/4x fast writes. AGP semantic cycles
to system memory are not snooped on the system bus. PCI semantic cycles to system memory are
snooped on the system bus. The MCH supports PIPE# or SBA[7:0] AGP address mechanisms, but
not both simultaneously. Either the PIPE# or the SBA[7:0] mechanism must be selected during
system initialization. Both upstream and downstream addressing is limited to 32 bits for AGP and
AGP/PCI transactions. The MCH contains a 32 deep AGP request queue. High-priority accesses
are supported. All accesses from the AGP/PCI interface that fall within the Graphics Aperture
address range pass through an address translation mechanism with a fully associative 20 entry
TLB. Accesses between AGP and hub interface are limited to memory writes originating from the
hub interface destined for AGP. The AGP interface is clocked from a dedicated 66 MHz clock
(66IN). The AGP-to-host/core interface is asynchronous.

Introduction
R
1.4.5
Hub Interface
The 8-bit hub interface connects the MCH to the ICH2. All communication between the MCH and
the ICH2 occurs over the hub interface. The hub interface runs at 66 MHz / 266 MB/s. In addition
to the normal traffic types, the following communication also occurs over the hub interface:
• Interrupt related messages
• Power management events as messages
• SMI, SCI, and SERR error indication messages
It is assumed that the hub interface is always connected to an ICH2.
1.4.6
Intel® MCH Clocking
The MCH has the following clock input pins:
• Differential BCLK for the host interface
• 66 MHz clock input for the AGP and hub interface
Clock synthesizer chip(s) generate the system host clocks, AGP and hub interface clocks, and PCI
clocks. The system bus target speed is 400 MHz. The MCH does not require any relationship
between the HCLKIN host clock and the 66 MHz clock generated for AGP and the hub interface;
they are asynchronous to each other. The AGP and hub interface runs at a constant 66 MHz base
frequency. The hub interface runs at 4x. AGP transfers can be 1x, 2x, or 4x. Table 5 indicates the
supported frequency ratios between the various interfaces.

Introduction
R
1.4.7
System Interrupts
The MCH supports both Intel 8259 and Pentium 4 processor interrupt delivery mechanisms. The
serial APIC interrupt mechanism is not supported.
Intel 8259 support consists of flushing inbound hub interface write buffers when an Interrupt
Acknowledge cycle is forwarded from the system bus to the hub interface.
The MCH supports the Pentium 4 processor interrupt delivery mechanism. IOxAPIC and PCI MSI
interrupts are generated as memory writes. The MCH decodes upstream memory writes to the
range 0FEE0_0000h–0FEEF_FFFFh from AGP and the hub interface as message-based interrupts.
The MCH forwards the memory writes, along with the associated write data, to the system bus as
an interrupt message transaction. Note that since this address does not decode as part of system
memory, the write cycle and the write data are not forwarded to system memory via the write
buffer. The MCH provides the response and TRDY# for all interrupt message cycles, including the
ones originating from the MCH. The MCH supports interrupt re-direction for inter-processor
interrupts (IPIs) as well as upstream interrupt memory writes.
For message-based interrupts, system write-buffer coherency is maintained by relying on strict
ordering of memory writes. The MCH ensures that all memory writes received from a given
interface prior to an interrupt message memory write are delivered to the system bus for snooping
in the same order that they occur on the given interface.
1.4.8
Powerdown Flow
Since the MCH is powered down during STR, the MCH cannot maintain any state information
when exiting STR. Thus, the entire initialization process when exiting STR must be performed by
the BIOS via accesses to the DRC2 register.
Entry into STR (ACPI S3) is initiated by the Operating System (OS), based on detecting a lack of
system activity. The OS unloads all system device drivers as part of the process of entering STR.
The OS then writes to the PM1_CNT I/O register in the ICH2 to trigger the transition into STR.

Signal Description
This chapter provides a detailed description of the MCH signals. The signal descriptions are
arranged in functional groups according to their associated interface (see Figure 1). The states of
all of the signals during reset are provided in the System Reset section.
The “#” symbol at the end of a signal name indicates that the active, or asserted state occurs when
the signal is at a low voltage level. When “#” is not present after the signal name the signal is
asserted when at the high voltage level.
The following notations are used to describe the signal type:
I
Input pin
O
Output pin
I/O
Bi-directional Input/Output pin
s/t/s
Sustained Three-state. This pin is driven to its inactive state prior to threestating.
as/t/s
Active Sustained Three-state. This applies to some of the hub interface signals.
This pin is weakly driven to its last driven value.
The signal description also includes the type of buffer used for the particular signal:
AGTL+
Open Drain AGTL+ interface signal. Refer to the AGTL+ I/O Specification for
complete details. The MCH integrates AGTL+ termination resistors.
AGP
AGP interface signals. These signals are compatible with AGP 2.0 1.5 V
Signaling Environment DC and AC Specifications. The buffers are not 3.3 V
tolerant.
CMOS
CMOS buffers.
Ref
Voltage reference signal
Note: System address and data bus signals are logically inverted signals. In other words, the actual
values are inverted of what appears on the system bus. This must be taken into account and the
addresses and data bus signals must be inverted inside the MCH. All processor control signals
follow normal convention. A “0” indicates an active level (low voltage) if the signal is followed by
“#” symbol, and a “1” indicates an active level (high voltage) if the signal has no “#” suffix.

AGP Addressing Signals
Signal Name
PIPE#
Type
Description
I
AGP
Pipelined Read: This signal is asserted by the AGP master to indicate a
full-width address is to be enqueued on by the target using the AD bus.
One address is placed in the AGP request queue on each rising clock
edge while PIPE# is asserted. When PIPE# is deasserted, no new
requests are queued across the AD bus.
During SBA Operation: Not Used.
During FRAME# Operation: Not Used.
PIPE# is a sustained three-state signal from masters (graphics
controller), and is an MCH input.
Note: Initial AGP designs may not use PIPE# (i.e., PCI only 66 MHz).
Therefore, an 8 kΩ pull-up resistor connected to this pin is
required on the motherboard.
SBA[7:0]
I
AGP
Sideband Address: These signals are used by the AGP master
(graphics controller) to place addresses into the AGP request queue.
The SBA bus and AD bus operate independently. That is, a transaction
can proceed on the SBA bus and the AD bus simultaneously.
During PIPE# Operation: Not Used.
During FRAME# Operation: Not Used.
Note: When sideband addressing is disabled, these signals are
isolated (no external/internal pull-up resistors are required).
NOTE: The above table contains two mechanisms to queue requests by the AGP master. Note that the
master can only use one mechanism. The master may not switch methods without a full reset of the
system. When PIPE# is used to queue addresses the master is not allowed to queue addresses using
the SBA bus. For example, during configuration time, if the master indicates that it can use either
mechanism, the configuration software will indicate which mechanism the master will use. Once this
choice has been made, the master will continue to use the mechanism selected until the master is
reset (and reprogrammed) to use the other mode. This change of modes is not a dynamic mechanism
but rather a static decision when the device is first being configured after reset.

AGP
Initiator Ready#: This signal indicates the AGP compliant master is
ready to provide all write data for the current transaction. Once G_IRDY#
is asserted for a write operation, the master is not allowed to insert wait
states. The master is never allowed to insert a wait state during the initial
data transfer (32 bytes) of a write transaction. However, it may insert wait

AGP
Target Ready: This signal indicates the AGP compliant target is ready to
provide read data for the entire transaction (when the transfer size is less
than or equal to 32 bytes) or is ready to transfer the initial or subsequent
block (32 bytes) of data when the transfer size is greater than 32 bytes.
The target is allowed to insert wait states after each block (32 bytes) is
transferred on write transactions.
G_STOP#

Command/Byte Enable:
During FRAME# Operation: During the address phase of a transaction,
G_C/BE[3:0]# define the bus command. During the data phase,
G_C/BE[3:0]# are used as byte enables. The byte enables determine
which byte lanes carry meaningful data.
During PIPE# Operation: When an address is enqueued using PIPE#,
the G_C/BE# signals carry command information. The command
encoding used during PIPE#-based AGP is DIFFERENT than the
command encoding used during FRAME#-based AGP cycles (or
standard PCI cycles on a PCI bus).
G_PAR
I/O
AGP
Parity:
During FRAME# Operations: This signal is driven by the MCH when it
acts as a FRAME#-based AGP initiator during address and data phases
for a write cycle, and during the address phase for a read cycle. PAR is
driven by the MCH when it acts as a FRAME#-based AGP target during
each data phase of a FRAME#-based AGP memory read cycle. Even
parity is generated across AD[31:0] and G_C/BE[3:0]#.
During SBA and PIPE# Operation: This signal is not used during SBA
and PIPE# operation.
NOTE: PCIRST# from the ICH2 is connected to RSTIN# and is used to reset AGP interface logic within the
MCH. The AGP agent will also use PCIRST# provided by the ICH2 as an input to reset its internal
logic.

Register Description

Register Description
The MCH contains two sets of software accessible registers, accessed via the host processor I/O
address space:
• Control registers I/O mapped into the processor I/O space, which control access to PCI and
AGP configuration space (see Section 3.3).
• Internal configuration registers residing within the MCH are partitioned into two logical
device register sets (“logical” since they reside within a single physical device). The first
register set is dedicated to Host-HI Bridge functionality (i.e., DRAM configuration, other
chip-set operating parameters and optional features). The second register block is dedicated to
Host-AGP Bridge functions (controls AGP interface configurations and operating
parameters).
The MCH supports PCI configuration space accesses using the mechanism denoted as
Configuration Mechanism #1 in the PCI specification.
The MCH internal registers (I/O Mapped and configuration registers) are accessible by the
processor. The registers can be accessed as Byte, Word (16-bit), or DWord (32-bit) quantities,
with the exception of CONF_ADDR which can only be accessed as a DWord. All multi-byte
numeric fields use "little-endian" ordering (i.e., lower addresses contain the least significant parts
of the field).

RO
Read Only. If a register is read only, writes to this register have no effect.
R/W
Read/Write. A register with this attribute can be read and written.
R/W/L
Read/Write/Lock. A register with this attribute can be read, written, and Locked.
R/WC
Read/Write Clear. A register bit with this attribute can be read and written. However, a
write of a 1 clears (sets to 0) the corresponding bit and a write of a 0 has no effect.
R/WO
Read/Write Once. A register bit with this attribute can be written to only once after
power up. After the first write, the bit becomes read only.
L
Lock. A register bit with this attribute becomes Read Only after a lock bit is set.
Reserved Bits
Some of the MCH registers described in this section contain reserved bits. These bits
are labeled “Reserved”. Software must deal correctly with fields that are reserved. On
reads, software must use appropriate masks to extract the defined bits and not rely on
reserved bits being any particular value. On writes, software must ensure that the
values of reserved bit positions are preserved. That is, the values of reserved bit
positions must first be read, merged with the new values for other bit positions and
then written back. Note that software does not need to perform a read-merge-write
operation for the Configuration Address (CONF_ADDR) register.

Description
Reserved
Registers
In addition to reserved bits within a register, the MCH contains address locations in the
configuration space that are marked “Reserved”. When a “Reserved” register location
is read, a random value is returned. (“Reserved” registers can be 8-, 16-, or 32-bit in
size). Registers that are marked as “Reserved” must not be modified by system
software. Writes to “Reserved” registers may cause system failure.
Default Value
upon a Reset
Upon a Full Reset, the MCH sets all of its internal configuration registers to
predetermined default states. Some register values at reset are determined by
external strapping options. The default state represents the minimum functionality
feature set required to successfully bring up the system. Hence, it does not represent
the optimal system configuration. It is the responsibility of the system initialization
software (usually BIOS) to properly determine the DRAM configurations, operating
parameters and optional system features that are applicable, and to program the MCH
registers accordingly.
PCI Bus Configuration Space Access
The MCH and ICH2 are physically connected by the hub interface. From a configuration
standpoint, the hub interface is PCI bus 0. As a result, all devices internal to the MCH and ICH2
appear to be on PCI bus 0. The system’s primary PCI expansion bus is physically attached to the
ICH2 and, from a configuration perspective appears to be a hierarchical PCI bus behind a PCI-toPCI bridge and, therefore, has a programmable PCI Bus number. Note that the primary PCI bus
is referred to as PCI_A in this document and is not PCI bus #0 from a configuration
standpoint. The AGP appears to system software to be a real PCI bus behind PCI-to-PCI bridges
resident as devices on PCI bus 0.
The MCH contains two PCI devices within a single physical component. The configuration
registers for the four devices are mapped as devices residing on PCI bus 0.
• Device 0: Host-Hub Interface Bridge/DRAM Controller. Logically this appears as a PCI device
residing on PCI bus 0. Physically Device 0 contains the standard PCI registers, DRAM registers, the
Graphics Aperture controller, and other MCH specific registers.
• Device 1: Host-AGP Bridge. Logically this appears as a “virtual” PCI-to-PCI bridge residing
on PCI bus 0. Physically Device 1 contains the standard PCI-to-PCI bridge registers and the
standard AGP/PCI configuration registers (including the AGP I/O and memory address
mapping).
Table 6 shows the Device # assignment for the various internal MCH devices.

3.2.1
Standard PCI Bus Configuration Mechanism
The PCI Bus defines a slot based "configuration space" that allows each device to contain up to 8
functions with each function containing up to 256 8-bit configuration registers. The PCI
specification defines two bus cycles to access the PCI configuration space: Configuration Read
and Configuration Write. Memory and I/O spaces are supported directly by the processor.
Configuration space is supported by a mapping mechanism implemented within the MCH. The
PCI specification defines two mechanisms to access configuration space, Mechanism #1 and
Mechanism #2. The MCH supports only Mechanism #1.
The configuration access mechanism makes use of the CONF_ADDR Register (at I/O address
0CF8h though 0CFBh) and CONF_DATA register (at I/O address 0CFCh though 0CFFh). To
reference a configuration register a DWord I/O write cycle is used to place a value into
CONF_ADDR that specifies the PCI bus, the device on that bus, the function within the device,
and a specific configuration register of the device function being accessed. CONF_ADDR[31]
must be 1 to enable a configuration cycle. CONF_DATA then becomes a window into the four
bytes of configuration space specified by the contents of CONF_ADDR. Any read or write to
CONF_DATA results in the MCH translating the CONF_ADDR into the appropriate
configuration cycle.
The MCH is responsible for translating and routing the processor’s I/O accesses to the
CONF_ADDR and CONF_DATA registers to internal MCH configuration registers, hub interface
or AGP.
3.2.2
Routing Configuration Accesses
The MCH supports two bus interfaces: the hub interface and AGP. PCI configuration cycles are
selectively routed to one of these interfaces. The MCH is responsible for routing PCI configuration
cycles to the proper interface. PCI configuration cycles to the ICH2 internal devices and Primary
PCI (including downstream devices) are routed to the ICH2 via the hub interface. AGP
configuration cycles are routed to AGP. The AGP interface is treated as a separate PCI bus from
the configuration point of view. Routing of configuration AGP is controlled via the standard PCIPCI bridge mechanism using information contained within the Primary Bus Number, the
Secondary Bus Number, and the Subordinate Bus Number registers of the corresponding PCI-PCI
bridge device.
A detailed description of the mechanism for translating processor I/O bus cycles to configuration
cycles on one of the buses is described below.
PCI Bus 0 Configuration Mechanism
The MCH decodes the Bus Number (bits 23:16) and the Device Number fields of the
CONF_ADDR register. If the Bus Number field of CONF_ADDR is 0, the configuration cycle is
targeting a PCI Bus 0 device.
• The Host-HI Bridge entity in the MCH is hardwired as Device 0 on PCI Bus 0.
• The Host-AGP Bridge entity in the MCH is hardwired as Device 1 on PCI Bus 0.
Configuration cycles to any of the MCH’s internal devices are confined to the MCH and not sent
over the hub interface. Accesses to disabled MCH internal devices are forwarded over the hub
interface as Type 0 Configuration Cycles.

Register Description
R
Primary PCI and Downstream Configuration Mechanism
If the Bus Number in the CONF_ADDR is non-zero, and is less than the value in the Host-AGP
device’s Secondary Bus Number register, or greater than the value in the Host-AGP device’s
Subordinate Bus Number register, the MCH will generate a Type 1 hub interface configuration
cycle. The ICH2 compares the non-zero Bus Number with the Secondary Bus Number and
Subordinate Bus Number registers of its P2P bridges to determine if the configuration cycle is
meant for Primary PCI, or a downstream PCI bus.
AGP Configuration Mechanism
From the chip-set configuration perspective, AGP is seen as a PCI bus interface residing on a
Secondary Bus side of the “virtual” PCI-PCI bridges referred to as the MCH Host-AGP bridge. On
the Primary Bus side, the “virtual” PCI-PCI bridge is attached to PCI Bus 0. Therefore, the
Primary Bus Number register is hardwired to 0. The “virtual” PCI-PCI bridge entity converts
Type 1 PCI bus configuration cycles on PCI Bus 0 into Type 0 or Type 1 configuration cycles on
the AGP interface. Type 1 configuration cycles on PCI Bus 0 that have a Bus Number that
matches the Secondary Bus Number of the MCH’s “virtual” Host-to-PCI_B/AGP bridge will be
translated into Type 0 configuration cycles on the AGP interface.
If the Bus Number is non-zero, greater than the value programmed into the Secondary Bus
Number Register, and less than or equal to the value programmed into the Subordinate Bus
Number Register, the MCH will generate a Type 1 PCI configuration cycle on AGP.
3.3
I/O Mapped Registers
The MCH contains two registers that reside in the processor I/O address space: the Configuration
Address (CONF_ADDR) register and the Configuration Data (CONF_DATA) register. The
Configuration Address register enables/disables the configuration space and determines what
portion of configuration space is visible through the configuration data window.

CONF_ADDR is a 32 bit register that can be accessed only as a DWord. A Byte or Word

PCI bus as an I/O cycle. The CONF_ADDR register contains the Bus Number, Device Number,
Function Number, and Register Number for which a subsequent configuration access is intended.

Bus Number. When Bus Number is programmed to 00h, the target of the configuration cycle is
a hub interface agent (MCH, ICH2, etc.).
The configuration cycle is forwarded to the hub interface, if Bus Number is programmed to 00h
and the MCH is not the target (the device number is ≥2).
If Bus Number is non-zero and matches the value programmed into the Secondary Bus Number
Register of device 1, a Type 0 PCI configuration cycle will be generated on AGP.
If Bus Number is non-zero, greater than the value in the Secondary Bus Number register of
device 1 and less than or equal to the value programmed into the Subordinate Bus Number
register of device 1 a Type 1 PCI configuration cycle will be generated on AGP.
If Bus Number is non-zero, and does not fall within the ranges enumerated by device 1’s
Secondary Bus Number or Subordinate Bus Number register, then a hub interface Type 1
configuration cycle is generated.
15:11
Device Number. This field selects one agent on the PCI bus selected by the Bus Number field.
When the Bus Number field is 00, the MCH decodes the Device Number field. The MCH is
always Device Number 0 for the Host-Hub Interface bridge entity and Device Number 1 for the
Host-AGP entity. Therefore, when Bus Number =0 and Device Number=0–1, the internal MCH
devices are selected.
If the Bus Number is non-zero and matches the value programmed into the Secondary Bus
Number register a Type 0 PCI configuration cycle is generated on AGP. The MCH decodes the
Device Number field ([15:11]) and assert the appropriate GAD signal as an IDSEL. For PCI-toPCI Bridge translation, one of the 16 IDSELs is generated. When bit [15] = 0, bits [14:11] are
decoded to assert a signal AD[31:16] IDSEL. GAD16 is asserted to access Device 0, GAD17 for
Device 1, and so forth up to Device 15 which asserts AD31. All device numbers higher than 15
cause a type 0 configuration access with no IDSEL asserted, which results in a Master Abort
reported in the MCH’s “virtual” PCI-PCI bridge registers.
For Bus Numbers resulting in hub interface configuration cycles, the MCH propagates the device
number field as A[15:11]. For bus numbers resulting in AGP type 1 configuration cycles, the
device number is propagated as GAD[15:11].

Function Number. This field is mapped to GAD[10:8] during AGP configuration cycles and

cycles to its internal devices if the function number is not equal to 0.
7:2
Register Number. This field selects one register within a particular bus, device, and function as
specified by the other fields in the Configuration Address register. This field is mapped to

R/W, RO
32 bits
The APBASE is a standard PCI Base Address register that is used to set the base of the Graphics
Aperture. The standard PCI Configuration mechanism defines the base address configuration
register such that only a fixed amount of space can be requested (dependent on which bits are
hardwired to 0 or behave as hardwired to 0). To allow for flexibility (of the aperture), an
additional register called APSIZE is used as a “back-end” register to control, which bits of the
APBASE will behave as hardwired to 0. This register will be programmed by the MCH specific
BIOS code that runs before any of the generic configuration software is run.
Note: Bit 9 of the MCHCFG register is used to prevent accesses to the aperture range before this register
is initialized by the configuration software and the appropriate translation table structure has been
established in the system memory.
Bit
31:28
Description
Upper Programmable Base Address—R/W. These bits are part of the aperture base set by
configuration software to locate the base address of the graphics aperture. They correspond to
bits [31:28] of the base address in the processor's address space that will cause a graphics
aperture translation to be inserted into the path of any memory read or write.
Default = 0000
27:22
Middle “Hardwired”/Programmable Base Address—R/W. These bits are part of the aperture
base set by configuration software to locate the base address of the graphics aperture. They
correspond to bits [27:4] of the base address in the processor's address space that will cause a
graphics aperture translation to be inserted into the path of any memory read or write. These
bits can behave as though they were hardwired to 0, if programmed to do so by the APSIZE bits
of the APSIZE register. This causes configuration software to understand that the granularity of
the graphics aperture base address is either finer or more coarse, depending on the bits set by
MCH-specific configuration software in APSIZE.
21:4
Lower “Hardwired” Base Address—RO. Hardwired to 0s. This forces a minimum aperture
size selected by this register to be 4 MB.
3
Prefetchable—RO. This bit is hardwired to 1 to identify the Graphics Aperture range as
prefetchable as per the PCI Local Bus Specification for the base address registers.
There are no side effects on reads, the device returns all bytes on reads, regardless of the byte
enables, and the MCH may merge processor writes into this range without causing errors.
2:1

50
Type—RO. These bits determine addressing type and they are hardwired to “00” to indicate that
address range defined by the upper bits of this register can be located anywhere in the 32-bit
address space.

During any reset sequence, while power is applied and reset is active, the MCH asserts
all CKE signals. After internal reset is deasserted, CKE signals remain deasserted until
this field is written to a value different than “000”. On this event, all CKE signals are
asserted.
During suspend, MCH internal signal triggers system memory controller to flush pending

MCH will be reset ( which will clear this bit field to “000” and maintain CKE signals
deasserted). After internal reset is deasserted, CKE signals remain deasserted until this
field is written to a value different than “000”. On this event, all CKE signals are asserted.
During entry to other low power states (C3, S1), MCH internal signal triggers DRAM

R/W, RO
8 bits
The MCH allows programmable memory attributes on 13 Legacy memory segments of various
sizes in the 640 Kbytes to 1 Mbytes address range. Seven Programmable Attribute Map (PAM)
Registers are used to support these features. Cacheability of these areas is controlled via the
MTRR registers in the processor. Two bits are used to specify memory attributes for each memory
segment. These bits apply to host initiator only access to the PAM areas. The MCH forwards to
system memory for any AGP, PCI or hub interface-initiated accesses to the PAM areas. These
attributes are:
RE -
Read Enable. When RE = 1, the host read accesses to the corresponding memory
segment are claimed by the MCH and directed to system memory. Conversely, when
RE = 0, the host read accesses are directed to PCI0.
WE -
Write Enable. When WE = 1, the host write accesses to the corresponding memory
segment are claimed by the MCH and directed to system memory. Conversely, when
WE = 0, the host write accesses are directed to PCI0.
The RE and WE attributes permit a memory segment to be Read Only, Write Only, Read/Write, or
disabled. For example, if a memory segment has RE = 1 and WE = 0, the segment is Read Only.
Each PAM Register controls two regions, typically 16 KB in size. Each of these regions has a 4-bit
field. The four bits that control each region have the same encoding and defined in the following
table.

Register Description
R
At the time that a hub interface or AGP accesses to the PAM region may occur, the targeted PAM
segment must be programmed to be both readable and writeable.
As an example, consider BIOS that is implemented on the expansion bus. During the initialization
process, the BIOS can be shadowed in system memory to increase the system performance. When
BIOS is shadowed in system memory, it should be copied to the same address location. To shadow
the BIOS, the attributes for that address range should be set to write only. BIOS is shadowed by
first performing a read of that address. This read is forwarded to the expansion bus. The host then
does a write of the same address, which is directed to system memory. After the BIOS is
shadowed, the attributes for that memory area are set to read only so that all writes are forwarded
to the expansion bus. Table 9 and Figure 2 show the PAM registers and the associated attribute
bits:

DOS Application Area (00000h–9FFFh)
The DOS area is 640 KB in size and it is further divided into two parts. The 512 KB area at
0h to 7FFFFh is always mapped to the system memory controlled by the MCH, while the 128 KB
address range from 080000 to 09FFFFh can be mapped to PCI0 or to system memory. By default
this range is mapped to system memory and can be declared as a system memory hole (accesses
forwarded to PCI0) via MCH FDHC configuration register.
Video Buffer Area (A0000h–BFFFFh)
Attribute bits do not control this 128 KB area. The host -initiated cycles in this region are always
forwarded to either PCI0 or AGP unless this range is accessed in SMM mode. Routing of
accesses is controlled by the Legacy VGA control mechanism of the “virtual” PCI-PCI
bridge device embedded within the MCH.
This area can be programmed as SMM area via the SMRAM register. When used as a SMM
space, this range cannot be accessed from the hub interface or AGP.
Expansion Area (C0000h–DFFFFh)
This 128 KB area is divided into eight 16 KB segments, which can be assigned with different

SMM Space Open (D_OPEN)—R/W/L. When D_OPEN=1 and D_LCK=0, the SMM space
DRAM is made visible even when SMM decode is not active. This is intended to help BIOS
initialize SMM space. Software should ensure that D_OPEN=1 and D_CLS=1 are not set at the
same time. When D_LCK is set to a 1, D_OPEN is reset to 0 and becomes read only.
5
SMM Space Closed (D_CLS)—R/W. When D_CLS = 1, SMM space DRAM is not accessible
to data references, even if SMM decode is active. Code references may still access SMM
space DRAM. This allows SMM software to reference “through” SMM space to update the
display, even when SMM is mapped over the VGA range. Software should ensure that
D_OPEN=1 and D_CLS=1 are not set at the same time.
Note that the D_CLS bit only applies to Compatible SMM space.
4
SMM Space Locked (D_LCK)—R/W. When D_LCK is set to 1, D_OPEN is reset to 0 and
D_LCK, D_OPEN, C_BASE_SEG, H_SMRAM_EN, TSEG_SZ and TSEG_EN become “Read
Only”. D_LCK can be set to 1 via a normal configuration space write but can only be cleared by
a Full Reset. The combination of D_LCK and D_OPEN provide convenience with security. The
BIOS can use the D_OPEN function to initialize SMM space and then use D_LCK to “lock
down” SMM space in the future so that no application software (or BIOS itself) can violate the
integrity of SMM space, even if the program has knowledge of the D_OPEN function.

longer claimed by the memory controller (all accesses to this space are sent to the hub interface
if TSEG_EN is set). This field decodes as follows:

This register determines the effective size of the Graphics Aperture used for a particular MCH
configuration. This register can be updated by the MCH specific BIOS configuration sequence
before the PCI standard bus enumeration sequence takes place. If the register is not updated, the
default value will select an aperture of maximum size (i.e., 256 MB). The size of the table that will
correspond to a 256 MB aperture is not practical for most applications; therefore, these bits must
be programmed to a smaller practical value that will force adequate address range to be requested
via APBASE register from the PCI configuration software.

Graphics Aperture Size (APSIZE). Each bit in APSIZE[5:0] operates on similarly ordered bits in
APBASE[27:22] of the Aperture Base configuration register. When a particular bit of this field is 0,
it forces the similarly ordered bit in APBASE[27:22] to behave as “hardwired” to 0. When a
particular bit of this field is set to 1, it allows corresponding bit of the APBASE[27:22] to be

as “hardwired” to 0). This provides maximum aperture size of 256 MB. As another example,
programming APSIZE[5:0]=111000b hardwires APBASE[24:22]=000b and while enabling

R/W
8 bits
AMTT is an 8-bit register that controls the amount of time that the MCH arbiter allows AGP
master to perform multiple back-to-back transactions. The MCH AMTT mechanism is used to
optimize the performance of the AGP master (using PCI protocol) that performs multiple back-toback transactions to fragmented memory ranges (and as a consequence it can not use long burst
transfers). The AMTT mechanism applies to the host-AGP transactions as well and it guarantees
to the processor a fair share of the AGP interface bandwidth.
The number of clocks programmed in the AMTT represents the guaranteed time slice (measured in
66 MHz clocks) allotted to the current agent (either AGP master or host bridge) after which the
AGP arbiter will grant the bus to another agent. The default value of AMTT is 00h and disables
this function. The AMTT value can be programmed with 8-clock granularity. For example, if the
AMTT is programmed to 18h, then the selected value corresponds to the time period of 24 AGP
(66 MHz) clocks.

R/W
8 bits
LPTT is an 8-bit register similar in function to AMTT. This register is used to control the
minimum tenure on the AGP for low-priority data transactions (both reads and writes) issued using
PIPE# or SB mechanisms.
The number of clocks programmed in the LPTT represents the guaranteed time slice (measured in
66 MHz clocks) allotted to the current low priority AGP transaction data transfer state. This does
not necessarily apply to a single transaction but it can span over multiple low-priority transactions
of the same type. After this time expires, the AGP arbiter may grant the bus to another agent if
there is a pending request. The LPTT does not apply in the case of high-priority request where
ownership is transferred directly to high-priority requesting queue. The default value of LPTT is
00h and disables this function. The LPTT value can be programmed with 8-clock granularity. For
example, if the LPTT is programmed to 10h, the selected value corresponds to the time period of
16 AGP (66 MHz) clocks.

8 bits
This register controls the bus tenure of the MCH on AGP. MLT is an 8-bit register that controls
the amount of time the MCH, as an AGP/PCI bus master, can burst data on the AGP bus. The
count value is an 8-bit quantity; however, MLT[2:0] are reserved and have a value of 0 when
determining the count value. The MCH’s MLT is used to guarantee to the AGP master a minimum
amount of the system resources. When the MCH begins the first AGP FRAME# cycle after being
granted the bus, the counter is loaded and enabled to count from the assertion of FRAME#. If the
count expires while the MCH’s grant is removed (due to AGP master request), the MCH will lose
the use of the bus, and the AGP master agent may be granted the bus. If the MCH’s bus grant is
not removed, the MCH continues to own the AGP bus, regardless of the MLT expiration or idle
condition. Note that the MCH always properly terminates an AGP transaction, with FRAME#
negation prior to the final data transfer.
The number of clocks programmed in the MLT represents the guaranteed time slice (measured in
66 MHz AGP clocks) allotted to the MCH, after which it must complete the current data transfer
phase and then surrender the bus as soon as its bus grant is removed. For example, if the MLT is
programmed to 18h, the value is 24 AGP clocks. The default value of MLT is 00h and disables
this function. When the MLT is disabled, the burst time for the MCH is unlimited (i.e., the MCH
can burst forever).

they are mapped to primary PCI unless they are mapped to AGP via I/O and memory range
registers defined above (IOBASE1, IOLIMIT1, MBASE1, MLIMIT1, PMBASE1, PMLIMIT1)
1 =MCH forwards the following host accesses to the AGP:
• Memory accesses in the range 0A0000h to 0BFFFFh
• I/O addresses where A[9:0] are in the ranges 3B0h to 3BBh and 3C0h to 3DFh
(inclusive of ISA address aliases - A[15:10] are not decoded)
When this bit is set, forwarding of these accesses issued by the host is independent of the I/O

registers. Forwarding of these accesses is also independent of the settings of bit 2 (ISA
Enable) of this register if this bit is 1.

System Address Map
A system based on the 845 chipset supports 4 GB of addressable memory space and 64 KB+3 of
addressable I/O space. The I/O and memory spaces are divided by system configuration software
into regions. The memory ranges are useful either as system memory or as specialized memory,
while the I/O regions are used solely to control the operation of devices in the system.
When the MCH receives a write request whose address targets an invalid space, the data is
ignored. For reads, the MCH responds by returning all zeros on the requesting interface.
4.1
Memory Address Ranges
The system memory map is broken into two categories:
• Extended Memory Range (1 MB to 4 GB). The second is extended memory, existing
between 1MB and 4GB. It contains a 32-bit memory space, which is used for mapping PCI,
AGP, APIC, SMRAM, and BIOS memory spaces.
• DOS Compatible Area (below 1 MB). The final range is a DOS legacy space, which is used

These address ranges are always mapped to system memory, regardless of the system
configuration. Memory may be taken out of the system memory segment for use by System
Management Mode (SMM) hardware and software. The Top of Low Memory (TOM) register
defines the top of system memory.
Note that the address of the highest 16 MB quantity of valid memory in the system is placed into
the GBA15 register. For memory populations <3 GB, this value will be the same as the one
programmed into the TOM register. For other memory configurations, the two are unlikely to be
the same, since the PCI configuration portion of the BIOS software will program the TOM register
to the maximum value that is less than the amount of memory in the system and that allows enough
room for all populated PCI devices.

4.1.1
VGA and MDA Memory Space
Video cards use these legacy address ranges to map a frame buffer or a character-based video
buffer. The address ranges in this memory space are:
• VGAA
0_000A_0000 to 0_000A_FFFF
• MDA
0_000B_0000 to 0_000B_7FFF
• VGAB
0_000B_8000 to 0_000B_FFFF
By default, accesses to these ranges are forwarded to the hub interface. However, if the VGA_EN1
bit is set in the BCTRL1 configuration register, transactions within the VGA and MDA spaces are
sent to AGP. If the MCHCFG.MDAP configuration bit is set, accesses that fall within the MDA
range are sent to the hub interface independent of the setting of the VGA_EN1 bit.
If the MCHCFG.MDAP configuration bit is set, accesses in the MDA range are sent to the hub
interface, independent of the setting of the VGA_EN1 bit. Legacy support requires the ability to
have a second graphics controller (monochrome) in the system. In an 845 chipset system, accesses
in the standard VGA range are forwarded to AGP. Since the monochrome adapter may be on the
hub interface or (or ISA) bus, the MCH must decode cycles in the MDA range and forward them
to the hub interface. This capability is controlled by a configuration bit (MCHCFG.MDAP). In
addition to the memory range B0000h to B7FFFh, the MCH decodes I/O cycles at 3B4h, 3B5h,
3B8h, 3B9h, 3BAh, and 3BFh and forwards them to the hub interface.
An optimization allows the system to reclaim the memory displaced by these regions. If SMM
memory space is enabled by SMRAM.G_SMRARE and either the SMRAM.D_OPEN bit is set or
the system bus receives an SMM-encoded request for code (not data), then the transaction is
steered to system memory rather than the hub interface. Under these conditions, the VGA_EN1 bit
and the MDAP bit are ignored.

PAM Memory Spaces
The address ranges in this memory space are:
• PAMC0
0_000C_0000 to 0_000C_3FFF
• PAMC4
0_000C_4000 to 0_000C_7FFF
• PAMC8
0_000C_8000 to _000C_BFFF
• PAMCC
0_000C_C000 to 0_000C_FFFF
• PAMD0
0_000D_0000 to 0_000D_3FFF
• PAMD4
0_000D_4000 to 0_000D_7FFF
• PAMD8
0_000D_8000 to 0_000D_BFFF
• PAMDC
0_000D_C000 to 0_000D_FFFF
• PAME0
0_000E_0000 to 0_000E_3FFF
• PAME4
0_000E_4000 to 0_000E_7FFF
• PAME8
0_000E_8000 to 0_000E_BFFF
• PAMEC
0_000E_C000 to 0_000E_FFFF
• PAMF0
0_000F_0000 to 0_000F_FFFF
The 256 KB PAM region is divided into three parts:
• ISA expansion region; 128 KB area between 0_000C_0000h–0_000D_FFFFh
• Extended BIOS region; 64 KB area between 0_000E_0000h–0_000E_FFFFh
• System BIOS region; 64 KB area between 0_000F_0000h–0_000F_FFFFh.
The ISA expansion region is divided into eight 16 KB segments. Each segment can be assigned
one of four read/write states: read-only, write-only, read/write, or disabled. Typically, these blocks
are mapped through MCH and are subtractively decoded to ISA space.
The extended system BIOS region is divided into four 16 KB segments. Each segment can be
assigned independent read and write attributes so it can be mapped either to main system memory
or to the hub interface. Typically, this area is used for RAM or ROM.
The system BIOS region is a single 64 KB segment. This segment can be assigned read and write
attributes. It is by default (after reset) read/write disabled and cycles are forwarded to the hub
interface. By manipulating the read/write attributes, the MCH can “shadow” BIOS into system
memory.
4.1.3
ISA Hole Memory Space
BIOS software may optionally open a “window” between 15 MB and 16 MB (0_00F0_0000h to
0_00FF_FFFFh) that relays transactions to the hub interface instead of completing them with a
system memory access. This window is opened by programming the FDHC.HEN configuration
field.

4.1.4
TSEG SMM Memory Space
The TSEG SMM space (TOM – TSEG to TOM) allows system management software to partition
a region of system memory just below the top of low memory (TOM) that is accessible only by
system management software. This region may be 128 KB, 256 KB, 512 KB, or 1 MB in size,
depending on the ESMRAMC.TSEG_SZ field. SMM memory is globally enabled by
SMRAM.G_SMRAME. Requests can access SMM system memory when either SMM space is
open (SMRAM.D_OPEN) or the MCH receives an SMM code request on its system bus. To
access the TSEG SMM space, TSEG must be enabled by ESMRAMC.T_EN. When all of these
conditions are met, then a system bus access to the TSEG space (between TOM–TSEG and TOM)
is sent to system memory. If the high SMRAM is not enabled or if the TSEG is not enabled, then
all memory requests from all interfaces are forwarded to system memory. If the TSEG SMM space
is enabled, and an agent attempts a non-SMM access to TSEG space, then the transaction is
specially terminated.
Note: Hub interface and AGP originated accesses are not allowed to SMM space.
4.1.5
IOAPIC Memory Space
The IOAPIC space (0_FEC0_0000h to 0_FEC7_FFFFh) is used to communicate with IOAPIC
interrupt controllers that may be populated on the hub interface. Since it is difficult to relocate an
interrupt controller using plug-and-play software, fixed address decode regions have been
allocated for them. Processor accesses to the IOAPIC0 region are always sent to the hub interface.
4.1.6
System Bus Interrupt APIC Memory Space
The system bus interrupt space (0_FEE0_0000h to 0_FEEF_FFFFh) is the address used to deliver
interrupts to the system bus. Any device on AGP may issue a memory write to 0FEEx_xxxxh. The
MCH forwards this memory write, along with the data, to the system bus as an Interrupt Message
Transaction. The MCH terminates the system bus transaction by providing the response and
asserting TRDY#. This memory write cycle does not go to system memory.
4.1.7
High SMM Memory Space
The HIGHSMM space (0_FEDA_0000h to 0_FEDB_FFFFh) allows cacheable access to the
compatible SMM space by re-mapping valid SMM accesses between 0_FEDA_0000 and
0_FEDB_FFFF to accesses between 0_000A_0000 and 0_000B_FFFF. The accesses are
remapped when SMRAM space is enabled; an appropriate access is detected on the system bus,
and when ESMRAMC.H_SMRAME allows access to high SMRAM space. SMM memory
accesses from any hub interface or AGP are specially terminated: reads are provided with the
value from address 0 while writes are ignored entirely.

4.1.8
AGP Aperture Space (Device 0 BAR)
Processors and AGP devices communicate through a special buffer called the “graphics aperture”
(APBASE to APBASE + APSIZE). This aperture acts as a window into main system memory and
is defined by the APBASE and APSIZE configuration registers of the MCH. Note that the AGP
aperture must be above the top of memory and must not intersect with any other address space.
4.1.9
AGP Memory and Prefetchable Memory
Plug-and-play software configures the AGP memory window to provide enough memory space for
the devices behind this PCI-to-PCI bridge. Accesses whose addresses fall within this window are
decoded and forwarded to AGP for completion. The address ranges are:
• M1
MBASE1 to MLIMIT1
• PM1
PMBASE1 to PMLIMIT1
Note that these registers must be programmed with values that place the AGP memory space
window between the value in the TOM register and 4 GB. In addition, neither region should
overlap with any other fixed or relocatable area of memory.
4.1.10
Hub Interface Subtractive Decode
All accesses that fall between the value programmed into the TOM register and 4 GB
(i.e., TOM to 4 GB) are subtractively decoded and forwarded to the hub interface if they do not
decode to a space that corresponds to another device.
4.2
AGP Memory Address Ranges
The MCH can be programmed to direct memory accesses to the AGP bus interface when
addresses are within either of two ranges specified via registers in MCH device 1 configuration
space. The first range is controlled via the Memory Base Address (MBASE1) register and
Memory Limit Address (MLIMIT1) register. The second range is controlled via the Prefetchable
Memory Base Address (PMBASE1) register and Prefetchable Memory Limit Address
(PMLIMIT1) register
The MCH positively decodes memory accesses to AGP memory address space as defined by the
following equations:
• Memory_Base_Address ≤ Address ≤ Memory_Limit_Address
• Prefetchable_Memory_Base_Address ≤ Address ≤ Prefetchable_Memory_Limit_Address
The plug-and-play configuration software programs the effective size of the range and it depends
on the size of memory claimed by the AGP device.
Note: The MCH device 1 memory range registers described above are used to allocate memory address
space for any devices sitting on AGP bus that require such a window.

4.2.1
AGP DRAM Graphics Aperture
Memory-mapped, graphics data structures can reside in a Graphics Aperture to system memory.
This aperture is an address range defined by the APBASE and APSIZE registers of the MCH
device 0. The APBASE register follows the standard base address register template as defined by
the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.1. The size of the range claimed by the APBASE is
programmed via “back-end” register APSIZE (programmed by the chipset specific BIOS before
plug-and-play session is performed). APSIZE allows the BIOS software to pre-configure the
aperture size to be 4 MB, 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB or 256 MB. By programming
APSIZE to a specific size, the corresponding lower bits of APBASE are forced to 0 (behave as
hardwired). The default value of APSIZE forces an aperture size of 256 MB. The aperture address
range is naturally aligned.
Accesses within the aperture range are forwarded to the system memory subsystem. The MCH
translates the originally issued addresses via a translation table maintained in system memory. The
aperture range should be programmed as non-cacheable in the processor caches.
Note: Plug-and-play software configuration model does not allow overlap of different address ranges.
Therefore the AGP Graphics Aperture and AGP memory address range are independent address
ranges that may abut, but cannot overlap one another.
4.3
System Management Mode (SMM) Memory Range
The MCH supports the use of system memory as System Management RAM (SMRAM) enabling
the use of System Management Mode. The MCH supports three SMRAM options: Compatible
SMRAM (C_SMRAM), High Segment (HSEG), and Top of Memory Segment (TSEG). System
Management RAM (SMRAM) space provides a memory area that is available for the SMI
handler’s and code and data storage. This memory resource is normally hidden from the system
OS so that the processor has immediate access to this memory space upon entry to SMM. The
MCH provides three SMRAM options:
• Below 1 MB option that supports compatible SMI handlers.
• Above 1 MB option that allows new SMI handlers to execute with write-back cacheable
SMRAM.
• Optional larger write-back cacheable T_SEG area from 128 KB to 1 MB in size above 1 MB
that is reserved from the highest area in system memory. The above 1 MB solutions require
changes to compatible SMRAM handlers’ code to properly execute above 1 MB.
Note: Masters from the hub interface and AGP are not allowed to access the SMM space.

4.3.1
SMM Space Definition
Its addressed SMM space and its DRAM SMM space define SMM space. The addressed SMM
space is defined as the range of bus addresses used by the processor to access SMM space. System
memory SMM space is defined as the range of physical system memory locations containing the
SMM code. SMM space can be accessed at one of three transaction address ranges: Compatible,
High, and TSEG. The Compatible and TSEG SMM space is not remapped and, therefore, the
addressed and DRAM SMM space is the same address range. Since the High SMM space is
remapped the addressed and system memory SMM space is a different address range. Note that the
High system memory space is the same as the Compatible Transaction Address space. Therefore,
the table below describes three unique address ranges:
• Compatible Transaction Address
• High Transaction Address
• TSEG Transaction Address
Table 11. SMM Space Address Ranges

(TOM–TSEG_SZ) to TOM
Note: High SMM: This is different than in some previous chipsets where the High segment was the
384 KB region from A0000h to FFFFFh.
Note: TSEG SMM: Note that this is different than in previous chipsets where the TSEG address space
was offset by 256 MB to allow for simpler decoding and the TSEG was remapped to just under the
TOM. In the MCH the 256 MB does not offset the TSEG region and it is not remapped.
4.3.2
SMM Space Restrictions
If any of the following conditions are violated, the results of SMM accesses are unpredictable and
may cause the system to hang:
• The Compatible SMM space must not be setup as cacheable.
• High or TSEG SMM transaction address space must not overlap address space assigned to
system memory, the AGP aperture range, or to any “PCI” devices (including hub interface and
AGP devices). This is a BIOS responsibility.
• Both D_OPEN and D_CLOSE must not be set to 1 at the same time.
• When TSEG SMM space is enabled, the TSEG space must not be reported to the OS as
available system memory. This is a BIOS responsibility.
• Any address translated through the AGP Aperture GTLB must not target system memory from
000A0000h to 000FFFFFh.

4.4
I/O Address Space
The MCH does not support the existence of any other I/O devices beside itself on the system bus.
The MCH generates either hub interface or AGP bus cycles for all processor I/O accesses. The
MCH contains two internal registers in the processor I/O space: Configuration Address
(CONF_ADDR) register and Configuration Data (CONF_DATA) register. These locations are
used to implement the PCI configuration space access mechanism and as described in Chapter 3.
The processor allows 64 KB+3 bytes to be addressed within the I/O space. The MCH propagates
the processor I/O address without any translation on to the destination bus and therefore provides
addressability for 64 KB+3 byte locations. Note that the upper 3 locations can be accessed only
during I/O address wrap-around when signal A16# address signal is asserted. A16# is asserted on
the system bus whenever an I/O access is made to 4 bytes from address 0FFFDh, 0FFFEh, or
0FFFFh. A16# is also asserted when an I/O access is made to 2 bytes from address 0FFFFh.
The I/O accesses (other than ones used for configuration space access) are forwarded normally to
the hub interface unless they fall within the AGP I/O address range as defined by the mechanisms
explained below. The MCH does not post I/O write cycles to IDE.
The MCH never responds to I/O or configuration cycles initiated on AGP or the hub interface.
Hub interface transactions requiring completion are terminated with “master abort” completion
packets on the hub interface. Hub interface write transactions not requiring completion are
dropped. AGP/PCI I/O reads are never acknowledged by the MCH.
4.5
Intel® MCH Decode Rules and Cross-Bridge
Address Mapping
The address map described above applies globally to accesses arriving on any of the three
interfaces (i.e., processor system bus, hub interface, or AGP).
4.5.1
Hub Interface Decode Rules
The MCH accepts accesses from the hub interface with the following address ranges:
• All memory read and write accesses to main DRAM (except SMM space).
• All memory write accesses from the hub interface to AGP memory range defined by
MBASE1, MLIMIT1, PMBASE1, and PMLIMIT1.
• All memory read/write accesses to the Graphics Aperture defined by APBASE and APSIZE.
• Memory writes to VGA range on AGP if enabled.
All memory reads from the hub interface that target >4 GB memory range are terminated with a
master abort completion, and all memory writes (>4 GB) from the hub interface are ignored.

System Address Map
R
4.5.2
AGP Interface Decode Rules
Cycles Initiated Using AGP FRAME# Protocol
The MCH does not support any AGP FRAME# access targeting the hub interface. The MCH
claims AGP-initiated memory read and write transactions decoded to the system memory range or
the Graphics Aperture range. All other memory read and write requests will be master-aborted by
the AGP initiator as a consequence of MCH not responding to a transaction.
Under certain conditions, the MCH restricts access to the DOS Compatibility ranges governed by
the PAM registers by distinguishing access type and destination bus. The MCH does NOT accept
AGP FRAME# write transactions to the compatibility ranges if the PAM designates system
memory as writeable. If accesses to a range are not write-enabled by the PAM, the MCH does not
respond and the cycle results in a master-abort. The MCH accepts AGP FRAME# read
transactions to the compatibility ranges if the PAM designates system memory as readable. If
accesses to a range are not read-enabled by the PAM, the MCH does not respond and the cycle
results in a master-abort.
If agent on AGP issues an I/O, PCI Configuration or PCI Special Cycle transaction, the MCH does
not respond and cycle results in a master-abort.
Cycles Initiated Using AGP PIPE# or SB Protocol
All cycles must reference system memory; that is, system memory address range (including PAM)
or Graphics Aperture range (also physically mapped within system memory but using different
address range). AGP accesses to SMM space are not allowed. AGP-initiated cycles that target
system memory are not snooped on the host bus, even if they fall outside of the AGP aperture
range.
If a cycle is outside of the system memory range, then it terminates as follows:
• Reads remap to memory address 0h, return data from address 0h, and set the IAAF error bit in
ERRSTS register in device 0
• Writes are terminated internally without affecting any chip signals or system memory
AGP Accesses to MCH that Cross Device Boundaries
For AGP FRAME# accesses, when an AGP master gets disconnected, it resumes at the new
address which allows the cycle to be routed to or claimed by the new target. Therefore, the target
on potential device boundaries should disconnect accesses. The MCH disconnects AGP FRAME#
transactions on 4 KB boundaries.
AGP PIPE# and SBA accesses are limited to 256 bytes and must hit system memory. Read
accesses crossing a device boundary will return invalid data when the access crosses out of system
memory. Write accesses crossing out of system memory will be discarded. The IAAF Error bit will
be set.

Functional Description
This chapter describes the system bus that connects the MCH to the processor, the system memory
interface, the AGP interface, the MCH power and thermal management, the MCH clocking, and
the MCH system reset and power sequencing.
5.1
System Bus
The MCH supports the Pentium 4 processor subset of the Enhanced Mode Scaleable Bus. Source
synchronous transfers are used for the address and data signals. The address signals are double
pumped and a new address can be generated every other bus clock. At 100 MHz bus frequency,
the address signals run at 200 MT/s for a maximum address queue rate of 50 M addresses/sec. The
data is quad pumped and an entire 64-byte cache line can be transferred in two bus clocks. At
100 MHz bus frequency, the data signals run at 400 MT/s for a maximum bandwidth of 3.2 GB/s.
The MCH supports a 12 deep IOQ.
The MCH supports two outstanding deferred transactions on the system bus. The two transactions
must target different I/O interfaces as only one deferred transaction can be outstanding to any
single I/O interface at a time.
5.1.1
Dynamic Bus Inversion
The MCH supports Dynamic Bus Inversion (DBI) when driving and receiving data from the
system bus. DBI limits the number of data signals that are driven to a low voltage on each quad
pumped data phase. This decreases the power consumption of the MCH. DBI[3:0]# indicates if the
corresponding 16 bits of data are inverted on the bus for each quad pumped data phase:
DBI[3:0]#
Data Bits
DBI0#
HD[15:0]#
DBI1#
HD[31:16]#
DBI2#
HD[47:32]#
DBI3#
HD[63:48]#
When the processor or the MCH drives data, each 16-bit segment is analyzed. If more than 8 of
the 16 signals would normally be driven low on the bus, the corresponding DBI# signal will be
asserted and the data will be inverted prior to being driven on the bus. When the processor or the
MCH receives data, it monitors DBI[3:0]# to determine if the corresponding data segment should
be inverted.

5.1.2
System Bus Interrupt Delivery
The Pentium 4 processor supports the system bus interrupt delivery; the APIC serial bus interrupt
delivery mechanism is not supported. Interrupt-related messages are encoded on the system bus as
“Interrupt Message Transactions”. In an 845 chipset platform, system bus interrupts can originate
from the processor on the system bus, or from a downstream device on the hub interface or AGP.
In the later case the MCH drives the “Interrupt Message Transaction” onto the system bus.
In an 845 chipset platform, the ICH2 contains IOxAPICs, and its interrupts are generated as
upstream hub interface memory writes. Furthermore, PCI 2.2 defines MSIs (Message Signaled
Interrupts) that are also in the form of memory writes. A PCI 2.2 device can generate an interrupt
as an MSI cycle on it’s PCI bus, instead of asserting a hardware signal to the IOxAPIC. The MSI
can be directed to the IOxAPIC, which in turn generates an interrupt as an upstream hub interface
memory write. Alternatively, the MSI can be directed directly to the system bus. The target of a
MSI is dependent on the address of the interrupt memory write. The MCH forwards inbound hub
interface and AGP (PCI semantic only) memory writes to address 0FEEx_xxxxh, to the system bus
as “Interrupt Message Transactions”.
5.1.3
Upstream Interrupt Messages
The MCH accepts message-based interrupts from AGP (PCI semantics only) or its hub interface
and forwards them to the system bus as Interrupt Message Transactions. The interrupt messages
presented to the MCH are in the form of memory writes to address 0FEEx_xxxxh. At the hub
interface or AGP interface, the memory write interrupt message is treated like any other memory
write; it is either posted to the inbound data buffer (if space is available) or retried (if data buffer
space is not immediately available). Once posted, the memory write from AGP or the hub interface
to address 0FEEx_xxxxh is decoded as a cycle that needs to be propagated by the MCH to the
system bus as an Interrupt Message Transaction.

System Memory Interface
The 845 chipset can be configured to support PC133 SDRAM.
5.2.1
Single Data Rate (SDR) SDRAM Interface Overview
The MCH integrates a system memory SDRAM controller with a 64-bit wide interface and twelve
system memory clock signals (each at 133 MHz). The MCH’s system memory buffers support
LVTTL (SDRAM) signaling at 133 MHz.
The MCH includes support for:
• Up to 3 GB of 133 MHz SDR SDRAM
• PC133 unbuffered 168 pin SDR SDRAM DIMMs
• Maximum of 3 DIMMs, single-sided and/or double-sided
• Configurable optional ECC
The two bank-select lines SBS[1:0] and the thirteen address lines (SMA[12:0]) allow the MCH to
support 64-bit wide DIMMs using 64 Mb, 128 Mb, 256 Mb, and 512 Mb SDRAM technologies.
While address lines SMA[9:0] determine the starting address for a burst, burst lengths are fixed at
four. Twelve chip selects SCS# lines allow a maximum of three rows of single-sided SDRAM
DIMMs and six rows of double-sided SDRAM DIMMs.
The MCH’s system memory controller targets CAS latencies of 2 and 3 clocks for SDRAM. The
MCH provides refresh functionality with a programmable rate (normal SDRAM rate is
1 refresh/15.6 us).
5.2.2
Memory Organization and Configuration
In the following discussion the term row refers to a set of memory devices that are simultaneously
selected by a SCS# signal. The MCH supports a maximum of 6 rows of memory. For the purposes
of this discussion, a “side” of a DIMM is equivalent to a “row” of SDRAM devices.

5.2.2.1
Configuration Mechanism For DIMMs
Detection of the type of SDRAM installed on the DIMM is supported via a Serial Presence Detect
mechanism as defined in the JEDEC 168-pin DIMM specification. This uses the SCL, SDA and
SA[2:0] pins on the DIMMs to detect the type and size of the installed DIMMs. No special
programmable modes are provided on the MCH for detecting the size and type of memory
installed. Type and size detection must be done via the serial presence detection pins.
Memory Detection and Initialization
Before any cycles to the memory interface can be supported, the MCH SDRAM registers must be
initialized. The MCH must be configured for operation with the installed memory types. Detection
of memory type and size is accomplished via the System Management Bus (SMBus) interface on
the ICH2. This two-wire bus is used to extract the SDRAM type and size information from the
Serial Presence Detect port on the SDRAM DIMMs. SDRAM DIMMs contain a 5-pin Serial
Presence Detect interface, including SCL (serial clock), SDA (serial data), and SA[2:0]. Devices
on the SMBus bus have a seven-bit address. For the SDRAM DIMMs, the upper four bits are
fixed at 1010. The lower three bits are strapped on the SA[2:0] pins. SCL and SDA are connected
directly to the system management bus on the ICH2. Thus, data is read from the Serial Presence
Detect port on the DIMMs via a series of I/O cycles to the ICH2. BIOS needs to determine the
size and type of memory used for each of the rows of memory to properly configure the MCH
memory interface.
SMBus Configuration and Access of the Serial Presence Detect Ports
For more details on SMBus Configuration and Serial Present Detect Ports, see the Intel® 82801BA
I/O Controller Hub 2 (ICH2) and 82801BAM I/O Controller Hub 2 Mobile (ICH2-M) Datasheet.
Memory Register Programming
This section provides an overview of how the required information for programming the SDRAM
registers is obtained from the Serial Presence Detect ports on the DIMMs. The Serial Presence
Detect ports are used to determine refresh rate, MA and MD buffer strength, row type (on a row by
row basis), SDRAM Timings, row sizes and row page sizes. Table 13 lists a subset of the data
available through the on-board Serial Presence Detect ROM on each DIMM.

Memory Address Translation and Decoding
The 845 MCH contains address decoders that translate the address received on the system bus or
the hub interface. Decoding and translation of these addresses vary with the four SDRAM types.
Also, the number of pages, page sizes, and densities supported vary with the type. In general, the
MCH supports 64 Mb, 128 Mb, 256 Mb, and 512 Mb SDRAM devices. The multiplexed
row/column address to the SDRAM memory array is provided by the SBS[1:0] and SMA[12:0]
signals. These addresses are derived from the system address bus as defined by Table 14 for
SDRAM devices.

DRAM Performance Description
The overall memory performance is controlled by the DRAM Timing (DRT) Register, pipelining
depth used in the MCH, memory speed grade, and the type of SDRAM used in the system. In
addition, the exact performance in a system is also dependent on the total memory supported,
external buffering, and memory array layout. The most important contribution to overall
performance by the system memory controller is to minimize the latency required to initiate and
complete requests to memory and to support the highest possible bandwidth (full streaming, quick
turn-arounds). One measure of performance is the total flight time to complete a cache line
request. A complete discussion of performance involves the entire chipset, not just the system
memory controller.
5.2.4.1
Data Integrity (ECC)
The MCH supports single-bit Error Correcting Code (or Error Checking and Correcting) and
multiple-bit EC (Error Checking) on the system memory interface. The MCH generates an 8-bit
code word for each 64-bit QWord of memory. The MCH performs two QWord writes at a time;
thus, two 8-bit codes are sent with each write. Since the code word covers a full QWord, writes of
less than a QWord require a read-merge-write operation. Consider a DWord write to memory. In
this case, when in ECC mode, the MCH reads the QWord where the addressed DWord will be
written, merges in the new DWord, generates a code covering the new QWord, and, finally, writes
the entire QWord and code back to memory. Any correctable (single-bit) errors detected during
the initial QWord read are corrected before merging the new DWord.
The MCH also supports EC (Error Checking) data integrity mode. In this mode, the MCH
generates and stores a code for each QWord of memory. It then checks the code for reads from
memory but does not correct any errors that are found. Thus, the read performance hit associated
with ECC is not incurred.
5.3
AGP Interface Overview
The MCH supports 1.5 V AGP 1x/2x/4x devices. The AGP signal buffers are 1.5 V drive/receive
(buffers are not 3.3 volt tolerant). The MCH supports 2x/4x source synchronous clocking transfers
for read and write data, and sideband addressing. The MCH also support 2x and 4x clocking for
Fast Writes initiated from the MCH (on behalf of the processor).
AGP PIPE# or SBA[7:0] transactions to system memory do not get snooped and are, therefore, not
coherent with the processor caches. AGP FRAME# transactions to system memory are snooped.
AGP PIPE# and SBA[7:0] accesses to and from the hub interface are not supported. AGP
FRAME# access from an AGP master to the hub interface are also not supported. Only the AGP
FRAME memory writes from the hub interface are supported.
5.3.1
AGP Target Operations
As an initiator, the MCH does not initiate cycles using AGP enhanced protocols. The MCH
supports AGP cycles targeting the interface to system memory only. The MCH supports
interleaved AGP PIPE# and AGP FRAME#, or AGP SBA[7:0] and AGP FRAME# transactions.

As a target of an AGP cycle, the MCH supports all the transactions targeting system memory
(summarized in Table 15). The MCH supports both normal and high-priority read and write
requests. The MCH does not support AGP cycles to the hub interface. PIPE# and SBA cycles do
not require coherency management and all AGP initiator accesses to system memory, using AGP
PIPE# or SBA protocol, are treated as non-snoopable cycles. These accesses are directed to the
AGP aperture in system memory that is programmed as either uncacheable (UC) memory or write
combining (WC) in the processor’s MTRRs.

5.3.2
AGP Transaction Ordering
The MCH observes transaction ordering rules as defined by the AGP Interface Specification,
Revision 2.0.
5.3.3
AGP Signal Levels
The 4x data transfers use 1.5 V signaling levels as described by the AGP Interface Specification,
Revision 2.0. The MCH supports 1x/2x data transfers using 1.5 V signaling levels.
5.3.4
4x AGP Protocol
In addition to the 1x and 2x AGP protocol, the MCH supports 4x AGP read and write data
transfers and 4x sideband address generation. The 4x operation is compliant with the AGP
Interface Specification, Revision 2.0.
The MCH indicates that it supports 4x data transfers via bit 2 of the AGPSTAT.RATE field.
When bit 2 of the AGPCMD.DRATE field is set to 1 during system initialization, the MCH
performs AGP read/write data transactions using 4x protocol. This bit is not dynamic. Once this
bit is set during initialization, the data transfer rate must not be changed.
The 4x data rate transfer provides 1.06 GB/s transfer rates. The control signal protocol for the 4x
data transfer protocol is identical to 1x/2x protocol. In 4x mode 16 bytes of data are transferred on
every 66 MHz clock edge. The minimum throttleable block size remains four 66 MHz clocks
(64 bytes of data are transferred per block). Three additional signal pins are required to implement
the 4x data transfer protocol. These signal pins are complimentary data transfer strobes for the AD
bus (2) and the SBA bus (1).
5.3.5
Fast Writes
The MCH supports 2x and 4x Fast Writes from the MCH to the graphics controller on AGP. Fast
Write operation is compliant with Fast Writes as currently described in the AGP Interface
Specification, Revision 2.0. To use the Fast Write protocol, both AGPCTRL.FWCE and
AGPCMD.FWPE must be set to 1.
AGPCTRL.FWCE is set to 0 by default. When this bit is set to 1, the MCH indicates that it
supports Fast Writes through AGPSTAT.FW. When both AGPCMD.FWEN and
AGPCTRL.FWCE are set to 1, the MCH uses Fast Write protocol to transfer memory write data to
the AGP master.
Memory writes originating from the processor or from the hub interface use the Fast Write
protocol when it is both capability enabled and enabled. The data rate used to perform the Fast
Writes is dependent on the bits set in the AGPCMD.DRATE field (bits [2:0]). If bit 2 of the
AGPCMD.DRATE field is 1, the data transfers occur using 4x strobing. If bit 1 of
AGPCMD.DRATE field is 1, the data transfers occur using 2x strobing. If bit 0 of
AGPCMD.DRATE field is 1, Fast Writes are disabled and data transfers occur using standard PCI
protocol. Note that only one of the three DRATE bits can be set by initialization software
(Table 16).

AGP FRAME# Transactions on AGP
The MCH accepts and generates AGP FRAME# transactions on the AGP bus. The MCH
guarantees that AGP FRAME# accesses to system memory are kept coherent with the processor
caches by generating snoops to the host bus. LOCK#, SERR#, and PERR# signals are not
supported.

NOTES:
1. N/A refers to a function that is not applicable
As a target of an AGP FRAME# cycle, the MCH only supports the following transactions:
• Memory Read, Memory Read Line, and Memory Read Multiple. These commands are
supported identically by the MCH. The MCH does not support reads of the hub interface bus
from AGP.
• Memory Write and Memory Write and Invalidate. These commands are aliased and processed
identically.
• Other Commands. Other commands (e.g., I/O R/W and Configuration R/W) are not supported
by the MCH as a target and result in master abort.
• Exclusive Access. The MCH does not support PCI locked cycles as a target.
• Fast Back-to-Back Transactions. The MCH, as a target, supports fast back-to-back cycles
from an AGP FRAME# initiator.
As an initiator of AGP FRAME# cycle, the MCH only supports the following transactions:
• Memory Read and Memory Read Line. MCH supports reads from host to AGP. MCH does
not support reads from the hub interface to AGP.
• Memory Read Multiple. This command is not supported by the MCH as an AGP FRAME#
initiator.
• Memory Write. The MCH initiates AGP FRAME# cycles on behalf of the host or the hub
interface. As an initiator, the MCH does not issue Memory Write and Invalidate cycles. The
MCH does not support write merging or write collapsing. The MCH allows non-snoopable
write transactions from the hub interface to the AGP bus.
• I/O Read and Write. I/O read and write cycles from the host are sent to the AGP bus. The I/O
base and limit address range for the AGP bus are programmed in the configuration registers.
All other accesses that do not correspond to this programmed address range are forwarded to
the hub interface.
• Exclusive Access. The MCH does not issue a locked cycle on the AGP bus on behalf of either
the host or the hub interface. The hub interface and host locked transactions to AGP are
initiated as unlocked transactions by the MCH on the AGP bus.
• Configuration Read and Write. Host configuration cycles to AGP are forwarded as Type 1
configuration cycles.
• Fast Back-to-Back Transactions. The MCH, as an initiator, does not perform fast back-toback cycles.

MCH Retry/Disconnect Conditions
The MCH generates retry/disconnect according to the AGP Interface Specification, Revision 2.0
rules when being accessed as a target from the AGP FRAME# device.
Delayed Transaction
When an AGP FRAME#-to-system memory read cycle is retried by the MCH, it is processed
internally as a delayed transaction. The MCH supports the delayed transaction mechanism on the
AGP target interface for the transactions issued using AGP FRAME# protocol. This mechanism is
compatible with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.1. The process of latching all
information required to complete the transaction, terminating with Retry, and completing the
request without holding the master in wait-states is called a delayed transaction.
The MCH latches the address and command when establishing a delayed transaction. The MCH
generates a delayed transaction on the AGP only for AGP FRAME# to system memory read
accesses. The MCH does not allow more than one delayed transaction access from AGP at any
time.

Power and Thermal Management
An 845 chipset platform is compliant with the following specifications:
• APM, Revision 1.2

• PC ’99, Revision 1.0
• PC ’99A
• PC ’01, Revision 1.0

Processor Power State Control
• C0 (Full On): This is the only state that runs software. All clocks are running, STPCLK# is
deasserted, and the processor core is active. The processor can service snoops and maintain cache
coherency in this state.
• Stop-Grant State: This function can be enabled or disabled via a configuration bit. When this function
is enabled, STPCLK# is asserted to place the processor into the C2 state with a programmable
duty cycle. This is an ACPI defined function but BIOS or APM (via BIOS) can use this
facility.

5.4.2
Sleep State Control
• S0 (Awake): In this state all power planes are active. All of the ACPI software “C” states are
embedded in this state.
• S1: The recommended implementation of S1 state is the same as C2 state (Stop Grant), which
is entered by the assertion of the STPCLK# signal from the ICH2 to the processor. A further
power saving can be achieved by asserting processor SLP# from the ICH2. This puts the
processor into Sleep State.
• S2: ACPI S2 state is not supported in the 845 chipset desktop platform.
• S3 (Suspend To RAM (STR)): The next level of power reduction occurs when the clock
synthesizers and main power planes (ICH2, MCH, and the processor) are shut down but the
system memory plane and the ICH2 resume well remain active. This is the Suspend-to-RAM
(STR) state. All clocks from synthesizers are shut down during the S3 state.
• S4 and S5 (Suspend To Disk (STD), Soft Off): The next level of power reduction occurs
when the memory power and MCH are shut down in addition to the clock synthesizers, ICH2,
and the processor power planes. The ICH2 resume well is still powered.
• G3 (Mechanical Off): In this state only the RTC well is powered. The system can only
reactivate when the power switch is returned to the “On” position.

Testability
In the MCH, testability for Automated Test Equipment (ATE) board-level testing has been
implemented as an XOR chain. An XOR-tree is a chain of XOR gates, each with one input pin
connected to it (see Figure 10).

The algorithm used for in-circuit test is as follows:
• Drive all input pins to an initial logic level 1. Observe the output corresponding to scan chain
being tested.
• Toggle pins one at a time (starting from the first pin in the chain and continuing to the last
pin) from its initial logic level to the opposite logic level. Observe the output changes with
each pin toggle.
8.1
XOR Test Mode Initialization
XOR test mode can be entered by pulling three shared pins (reset straps) low through the rising
transition of RSTIN#. The signals that need to be pulled are as follows:
• G_GNT# = 0 (Global strap enable)
• SBA1 = 0 (XOR strap)
• ST2 = 0 (PLL Bypass mode; it is recommended to enter PLL Bypass in XOR test mode)
