I2C is a two-wire communications bus/protocol developed by Philips. SMBus is a subset of the I2C bus/protocol and was developed by Intel.
Implementations of the I2C bus/protocol may require licenses from various entities, including Philips Electronics N.V. and North American Philips
Corporation.
Intel® Active Management Technology requires the computer system to have an Intel® AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as
connection with a power source and a corporate network connection. Setup requires configuration by the purchaser and may require scripting with the
management console or further integration into existing security frameworks to enable certain functionality. It may also require modifications of
implementation of new business processes. With regard to notebooks, Intel AMT may not be available or certain capabilities may be limited over a host
OS-based VPN or when connecting wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off. For more information, see www.intel.com/
technology/platform-technology/intel-amt/
Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and for some uses, certain
platform software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefit will vary depending on hardware and software configurations and may
require a BIOS update. Software applications may not be compatible with all operating systems. Please check with your application vendor.

The ICH9 provides up to 6 PCI Express Root Ports, supporting the PCI Express Base
Specification, Revision 1.1. Each Root Port supports 2.5 GB/s bandwidth in each
direction (5 GB/s concurrent). PCI Express Root Ports 1-4 can be statically configured
as four x1 Ports or ganged together to form one x4 port. Ports 5 and 6 can only be used
as two x1 ports. On Mobile platforms, PCI Express Ports 1-4 can also be configured as
one x2 port (using ports 1 and 2) with ports 3 and 4 configured as x1 ports.
Note:
The integrated Gigabit Ethernet controllers data lines for 1000 Mb/s speed are
multiplexed with PCI Express* Root Port 6 and therefore unavailable if a Gigabit
Ethernet PHY is connected. The use of a 10/100 Mb/s PHY does not consume PCI
Express Root Port 6 and therefore the port is available to be utilized as a x1 Port.
Serial ATA (SATA) Controller
The ICH9 has two integrated SATA host controllers that support independent DMA
operation on up to six ports (desktop only) or four ports (mobile only) and supports
data transfer rates of up to 3.0 Gb/s (300 MB/s). The SATA controller contains two
modes of operation – a legacy mode using I/O space, and an AHCI mode using memory
space. Software that uses legacy mode will not have AHCI capabilities.
The ICH9 supports the Serial ATA Specification, Revision 1.0a. The ICH9 also supports
several optional sections of the Serial ATA II: Extensions to Serial ATA 1.0
Specification, Revision 1.0 (AHCI support is required for some elements).
Note:
SATA Ports 2 and 3 are not functional in the ICH9 Base and Mobile components. See
Section 1.3 for details on component feature availability.
AHCI
The ICH9 provides hardware support for Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a
new programming interface for SATA host controllers. Platforms supporting AHCI may
take advantage of performance features such as no master/slave designation for SATA
devices—each device is treated as a master—and hardware-assisted native command
queuing. AHCI also provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug. AHCI requires
appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI driver) and for some features, hardware
support in the SATA device or additional platform hardware. See Section 1.3 for details
on component feature availability.
Intel® Matrix Storage Technology (Intel® ICH9R, ICH9DH, ICH9DO,
ICH9M, and ICH9M-E Only)
The ICH9 provides support for Intel® Matrix Storage Technology, providing both AHCI
(see above for details on AHCI) and integrated RAID functionality. The industry-leading
RAID capability provides high-performance RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 functionality on up to
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
49
Introduction
6 SATA ports of ICH9. Matrix RAID support is provided to allow multiple RAID levels to
be combined on a single set of hard drives, such as RAID 0 and RAID 1 on two disks.
Other RAID features include hot spare support, SMART alerting, and RAID 0 auto
replace. Software components include an Option ROM for pre-boot configuration and
boot functionality, a Microsoft Windows* compatible driver, and a user interface for
configuration and management of the RAID capability of ICH9. Please see Section 1.3
for details on component feature availability.
Note:
Intel® Matrix Storage Technology RAID functionality not supported on ICH9M base
component.
PCI Interface
The ICH9 PCI interface provides a 33 MHz, Revision 2.3 implementation. The ICH9
integrates a PCI arbiter that supports up to four external PCI bus masters in addition to
the internal ICH9 requests. This allows for combinations of up to four PCI down devices
and PCI slots.
Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface
The ICH9 implements an LPC Interface as described in the LPC 1.1 Specification. The
Low Pin Count (LPC) bridge function of the ICH9 resides in PCI Device 31:Function 0. In
addition to the LPC bridge interface function, D31:F0 contains other functional units
including DMA, interrupt controllers, timers, power management, system management,
GPIO, and RTC.
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The ICH9 implements an SPI Interface as an alternative interface for the BIOS flash
device. An SPI flash device can be used as a replacement for the FWH, and is required
to support Gigabit Ethernet, Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® ICH9DO
and ICH9M-E only), and integrated Intel® Quiet System Technology (Desktop Only).
The ICH9 supports up to two SPI flash devices with speed up to 33 MHz using two chip
select pins.
Compatibility Modules (DMA Controller, Timer/Counters, Interrupt
Controller)
The DMA controller incorporates the logic of two 82C37 DMA controllers, with seven
independently programmable channels. Channels 0–3 are hardwired to 8-bit, count-bybyte transfers, and channels 5–7 are hardwired to 16-bit, count-by-word transfers. Any
two of the seven DMA channels can be programmed to support fast Type-F transfers.
Channel 4 is reserved as a generic bus master request.
The ICH9 supports LPC DMA, which is similar to ISA DMA, through the ICH9’s DMA
controller. LPC DMA is handled through the use of the LDRQ# lines from peripherals
and special encoding on LAD[3:0] from the host. Single, Demand, Verify, and
Increment modes are supported on the LPC interface.
The timer/counter block contains three counters that are equivalent in function to those
found in one 82C54 programmable interval timer. These three counters are combined
to provide the system timer function, and speaker tone. The 14.31818 MHz oscillator
input provides the clock source for these three counters.
The ICH9 provides an ISA-Compatible Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC) that
incorporates the functionality of two, 82C59 interrupt controllers. The two interrupt
controllers are cascaded so that 14 external and two internal interrupts are possible. In
addition, the ICH9 supports a serial interrupt scheme.
50
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Introduction
All of the registers in these modules can be read and restored. This is required to save
and restore system state after power has been removed and restored to the platform.
Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC)
In addition to the standard ISA compatible Programmable Interrupt controller (PIC)
described in the previous section, the ICH9 incorporates the Advanced Programmable
Interrupt Controller (APIC).
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controllers
The ICH9 contains up to two Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) host controllers
that support USB high-speed signaling. High-speed USB 2.0 allows data transfers up to
480 Mb/s which is 40 times faster than full-speed USB. The ICH9 also contains up to six
Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) controllers that support USB full-speed and
low-speed signaling.
The ICH9 supports up to twelve USB 2.0 ports. All twelve ports are high-speed, fullspeed, and low-speed capable. ICH9’s port-routing logic determines whether a USB
port is controlled by one of the UHCI or EHCI controllers. See Section 5.18 and
Section 5.19 for details.
Gigabit Ethernet Controller
The Gigabit Ethernet Controller provides a system interface via a PCI function. The
controller provides a full memory-mapped or IO mapped interface along with a 64 bit
address master support for systems using more than 4 GB of physical memory and
DMA (Direct Memory Addressing) mechanisms for high performance data transfers. Its
bus master capabilities enable the component to process high-level commands and
perform multiple operations; this lowers processor utilization by off-loading
communication tasks from the processor. Two large configurable transmit and receive
FIFOs (up to 20 KB each) help prevent data underruns and overruns while waiting for
bus accesses. This enables the integrated LAN controller to transmit data with
minimum interframe spacing (IFS).
The LAN controller can operate at multiple speeds (10/100/1000 MB/s) and in either
full duplex or half duplex mode. In full duplex mode the LAN controller adheres with the
IEEE 802.3x Flow Control Specification. Half duplex performance is enhanced by a
proprietary collision reduction mechanism. See Section 5.3 for details.
RTC
The ICH9 contains a Motorola MC146818A-compatible real-time clock with 256 bytes of
battery-backed RAM. The real-time clock performs two key functions: keeping track of
the time of day and storing system data, even when the system is powered down. The
RTC operates on a 32.768 KHz crystal and a 3 V battery.
The RTC also supports two lockable memory ranges. By setting bits in the configuration
space, two 8-byte ranges can be locked to read and write accesses. This prevents
unauthorized reading of passwords or other system security information.
The RTC also supports a date alarm that allows for scheduling a wake up event up to 30
days in advance, rather than just 24 hours in advance.
GPIO
Various general purpose inputs and outputs are provided for custom system design.
The number of inputs and outputs varies depending on ICH9 configuration.

Introduction
Enhanced Power Management
The ICH9’s power management functions include enhanced clock control and various
low-power (suspend) states (e.g., Suspend-to-RAM and Suspend-to-Disk). A hardwarebased thermal management circuit permits software-independent entrance to lowpower states. The ICH9 contains full support for the Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface (ACPI) Specification, Revision 3.0a.
Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) (Digital Office
Only)
Intel® Active Management Technology is the next generation of client manageability via
the wired network. Intel AMT is a set of advanced manageability features developed as
a direct result of IT customer feedback gained through Intel market research. With the
new implementation of System Defense in ICH9, the advanced manageability feature
set of Intel AMT is further enhanced. Please see Section 1.3 for details on component
feature availability.
Manageability
The ICH9 integrates several functions designed to manage the system and lower the
total cost of ownership (TCO) of the system. These system management functions are
designed to report errors, diagnose the system, and recover from system lockups
without the aid of an external microcontroller.
• TCO Timer. The ICH9’s integrated programmable TCO timer is used to detect
system locks. The first expiration of the timer generates an SMI# that the system
can use to recover from a software lock. The second expiration of the timer causes
a system reset to recover from a hardware lock.
• Processor Present Indicator. The ICH9 looks for the processor to fetch the first
instruction after reset. If the processor does not fetch the first instruction, the ICH9
will reboot the system.
• ECC Error Reporting. When detecting an ECC error, the host controller has the
ability to send one of several messages to the ICH9. The host controller can
instruct the ICH9 to generate either an SMI#, NMI, SERR#, or TCO interrupt.
• Function Disable. The ICH9 provides the ability to disable the following integrated
functions: LAN, USB, LPC, Intel HD Audio, SATA, PCI Express or SMBus. Once
disabled, these functions no longer decode I/O, memory, or PCI configuration
space. Also, no interrupts or power management events are generated from the
disabled functions.
• Intruder Detect. The ICH9 provides an input signal (INTRUDER#) that can be
attached to a switch that is activated by the system case being opened. The ICH9
can be programmed to generate an SMI# or TCO interrupt due to an active
INTRUDER# signal.
System Management Bus (SMBus 2.0)
The ICH9 contains an SMBus Host interface that allows the processor to communicate
with SMBus slaves. This interface is compatible with most I2C devices. Special I2C
commands are implemented.
The ICH9’s SMBus host controller provides a mechanism for the processor to initiate
communications with SMBus peripherals (slaves). Also, the ICH9 supports slave
functionality, including the Host Notify protocol. Hence, the host controller supports
eight command protocols of the SMBus interface (see System Management Bus
(SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0): Quick Command, Send Byte, Receive Byte, Write
Byte/Word, Read Byte/Word, Process Call, Block Read/Write, and Host Notify.
52
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Introduction
ICH9’s SMBus also implements hardware-based Packet Error Checking for data
robustness and the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to dynamically provide address
to all SMBus devices.
Intel® High Definition Audio Controller
The Intel® High Definition Audio Specification defines a digital interface that can be
used to attach different types of codecs, such as audio and modem codecs. The ICH9
Intel® HD Audio controller supports up to 4 codecs. The link can operate at either 3.3 V
or 1.5 V.
With the support of multi-channel audio stream, 32-bit sample depth, and sample rate
up to 192 kHz, the Intel® HD Audio controller provides audio quality that can deliver CE
levels of audio experience. On the input side, the ICH9 adds support for an array of
microphones.
Intel® Quiet System Technology (Intel® QST) (Desktop Only)
The ICH9 integrates four fan speed sensors (four TACH signals) and 3 fan speed
controllers (three Pulse Width Modulator signals), which enables monitoring and
controlling up to four fans on the system. With the new implementation of the singlewire Simple Serial Transport (SST) 1.0 bus and Platform Environmental Control
Interface (PECI), the ICH9 provides an easy way to connect to SST-based thermal
sensors and access the processor thermal data. In addition, coupled with the new
sophisticated fan speed control algorithms, Intel® QST provides effective thermal and
acoustic management for the platform.
Note:
Intel® Quiet System Technology functionality requires a correctly configured system,
including an appropriate (G)MCH with ME, ME firmware, and system BIOS support.
Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d)
The ICH9 provides hardware support for implementation of Intel® Virtualization
Technology with Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d). Intel VT-d Technology consists of
technology components that support the virtualization of platforms based on Intel®
Architecture Processors. Intel VT-d Technology enables multiple operating systems and
applications to run in independent partitions. A partition behaves like a virtual machine
(VM) and provides isolation and protection across partitions. Each partition is allocated
it’s own subset of host physical memory.
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (Mobile Only)
The integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) implementation consists of firmware,
Intel® Management Engine resources and dedicated hardware within the ICH and the
(G)MCH. The integrated TPM supports all requirements of the TPM Specification Version
1.2, Revision 103, as published by the Trusted Computing Group. The Integrated TPM
behaves like a discrete TPM device, and can support third party applications, as well as
Microsoft* specific functionality in the Vista* OS.
Note:
Integrated TPM functionality requires a correctly configured system, including an
appropriate mobile (G)MCH with Intel Management Engine firmware, ICH9M and SPI
Flash.

This chapter provides a detailed description of each signal. The signals are arranged in
functional groups according to their associated interface.
The “#” symbol at the end of the signal name indicates that the active, or asserted
state occurs when the signal is at a low voltage level. When “#” is not present, 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
OD O
Open Drain Output Pin.
I/OD
Bi-directional Input/Open Drain Output Pin.
I/O
Bi-directional Input / Output Pin.
The “Type” for each signal is indicative of the functional operating mode of the signal.
Unless otherwise noted in Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, a signal is considered to be in the
functional operating mode after RTCRST# deasserts for signals in the RTC well, after
RSMRST# deasserts for signals in the suspend well, after PWROK asserts for signals in
the core well, and after LAN_RST# deasserts for signals in the LAN well.

Description
PCI Address/Data: AD[31:0] is a multiplexed address and data
bus. During the first clock of a transaction, AD[31:0] contain a
physical address (32 bits). During subsequent clocks, AD[31:0]
contain data. The Intel® ICH9 will drive all 0s on AD[31:0] during
the address phase of all PCI Special Cycles.
Bus Command and Byte Enables: The command and byte enable
signals are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. During the address
phase of a transaction,
C/BE[3:0]# define the bus command. During the data phase C/
BE[3:0]# define the Byte Enables.

DEVSEL#
FRAME#
62
I/O
Device Select: The ICH9 asserts DEVSEL# to claim a PCI
transaction. As an output, the ICH9 asserts DEVSEL# when a PCI
master peripheral attempts an access to an internal ICH9 address
or an address destined for DMI (main memory or graphics). As an
input, DEVSEL# indicates the response to an ICH9-initiated
transaction on the PCI bus. DEVSEL# is tri-stated from the leading
edge of PLTRST#. DEVSEL# remains tri-stated by the ICH9 until
driven by a target device.
I/O
Cycle Frame: The current initiator drives FRAME# to indicate the
beginning and duration of a PCI transaction. While the initiator
asserts FRAME#, data transfers continue. When the initiator
negates FRAME#, the transaction is in the final data phase.
FRAME# is an input to the ICH9 when the ICH9 is the target, and
FRAME# is an output from the ICH9 when the ICH9 is the initiator.
FRAME# remains tri-stated by the ICH9 until driven by an initiator.

Type
Description
I/O
Initiator Ready: IRDY# indicates the ICH9's ability, as an initiator,
to complete the current data phase of the transaction. It is used in
conjunction with TRDY#. A data phase is completed on any clock
both IRDY# and TRDY# are sampled asserted. During a write,
IRDY# indicates the ICH9 has valid data present on AD[31:0].
During a read, it indicates the ICH9 is prepared to latch data.
IRDY# is an input to the ICH9 when the ICH9 is the target and an
output from the ICH9 when the ICH9 is an initiator. IRDY# remains
tri-stated by the ICH9 until driven by an initiator.
I/O
Target Ready: TRDY# indicates the ICH9's ability as a target to
complete the current data phase of the transaction. TRDY# is used
in conjunction with IRDY#. A data phase is completed when both
TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled asserted. During a read, TRDY#
indicates that the ICH9, as a target, has placed valid data on
AD[31:0]. During a write, TRDY# indicates the ICH9, as a target is
prepared to latch data. TRDY# is an input to the ICH9 when the
ICH9 is the initiator and an output from the ICH9 when the ICH9 is
a target. TRDY# is tri-stated from the leading edge of PLTRST#.
TRDY# remains tri-stated by the ICH9 until driven by a target.
I/O
Stop: STOP# indicates that the ICH9, as a target, is requesting the
initiator to stop the current transaction. STOP# causes the ICH9, as
an initiator, to stop the current transaction. STOP# is an output
when the ICH9 is a target and an input when the ICH9 is an
initiator.
I/O
Calculated/Checked Parity: PAR uses “even” parity calculated on
36 bits, AD[31:0] plus C/BE[3:0]#. “Even” parity means that the
ICH9 counts the number of ones within the 36 bits plus PAR and the
sum is always even. The ICH9 always calculates PAR on 36 bits
regardless of the valid byte enables. The ICH9 generates PAR for
address and data phases and only ensures PAR to be valid one PCI
clock after the corresponding address or data phase. The ICH9
drives and tri-states PAR identically to the AD[31:0] lines except
that the ICH9 delays PAR by exactly one PCI clock. PAR is an output
during the address phase (delayed one clock) for all ICH9 initiated
transactions. PAR is an output during the data phase (delayed one
clock) when the ICH9 is the initiator of a PCI write transaction, and
when it is the target of a read transaction. ICH9 checks parity when
it is the target of a PCI write transaction. If a parity error is
detected, the ICH9 will set the appropriate internal status bits, and
has the option to generate an NMI# or SMI#.
I/O
Parity Error: An external PCI device drives PERR# when it receives
data that has a parity error. The ICH9 drives PERR# when it detects
a parity error. The ICH9 can either generate an NMI# or SMI# upon
detecting a parity error (either detected internally or reported via
the PERR# signal).

PCI Reset: This is the Secondary PCI Bus reset signal. It is a
logical OR of the primary interface PLTRST# signal and the state of
the Secondary Bus Reset bit of the Bridge Control register
(D30:F0:3Eh, bit 6).
PCI Lock: This signal indicates an exclusive bus operation and may
require multiple transactions to complete. ICH9 asserts PLOCK#
when it performs non-exclusive transactions on the PCI bus.
PLOCK# is ignored when PCI masters are granted the bus in
desktop configurations.
Note: In mobile configuration, devices on the PCI bus (other than
the ICH9) are not permitted to assert the PLOCK# signal.
SERR#
PME#
I/OD
System Error: SERR# can be pulsed active by any PCI device that
detects a system error condition. Upon sampling SERR# active, the
ICH9 has the ability to generate an NMI, SMI#, or interrupt.
I/OD
PCI Power Management Event: PCI peripherals drive PME# to
wake the system from low-power states S1–S5. PME# assertion can
also be enabled to generate an SCI from the S0 state. In some
cases the ICH9 may drive PME# active due to an internal wake
event. The ICH9 will not drive PME# high, but it will be pulled up to
VccSus3_3 by an internal pull-up resistor.

Description
Power OK: When asserted, PWROK is an indication to the ICH9 that all
power rails have been stable for 99 ms and that PCICLK has been
stable for 1 ms. PWROK can be driven asynchronously. When PWROK
is negated, the ICH9 asserts PLTRST#.
PWROK
I
NOTE:
1.
PWROK must deassert for a minimum of three RTC clock
periods in order for the ICH9 to fully reset the power and
properly generate the PLTRST# output.
2.
PWROK must not glitch, even if RSMRST# is low.
Controller Link Power OK: When asserted, indicates that power to
the Controller Link subsystem (MCH, ICH, etc.) is stable and tells the
ICH to deassert CL_RST# to the MCH.
CLPWROK
I
NOTES:
1.
CLPWROK must not assert before RSMRST# deasserts.
2.
CLPWROK must not assert after PWROK asserts.
PWRBTN#
I
Power Button: The Power Button will cause SMI# or SCI to indicate a
system request to go to a sleep state. If the system is already in a
sleep state, this signal will cause a wake event. If PWRBTN# is pressed
for more than 4 seconds, this will cause an unconditional transition
(power button override) to the S5 state. Override will occur even if the
system is in the S1-S4 states. This signal has an internal pull-up
resistor and has an internal 16 ms de-bounce on the input.
RI#
I
Ring Indicate: This signal is an input from a modem. It can be
enabled as a wake event, and this is preserved across power failures.
SYS_RESET#
I
System Reset: This pin forces an internal reset after being
debounced. The ICH9 will reset immediately if the SMBus is idle;
otherwise, it will wait up to 25 ms ± 2 ms for the SMBus to idle before
forcing a reset on the system.
I
Resume Well Reset: This signal is used for resetting the resume
power plane logic. This signal must be asserted for at least 10 ms after
the suspend power wells are valid. When deasserted, this signal is an
indication that the suspend power wells are stable.
RSMRST#
LAN Reset: When asserted, the internal LAN controller is in reset.
This signal must be asserted until the LAN power wells (VccLAN3_3
and VccLAN1_05) and VccCL3_3 power well are valid. When
deasserted, this signal is an indication that the LAN power wells are
stable.

A20M#
O
FERR#
I
Description
Mask A20: A20M# will go active based on either setting the
appropriate bit in the Port 92h register, or based on the A20GATE
input being active.
Numeric Coprocessor Error: This signal is tied to the coprocessor
error signal on the processor. FERR# is only used if the ICH9
coprocessor error reporting function is enabled in the OIC.CEN
register (Chipset Config Registers:Offset 31FFh: bit 1). If FERR# is
asserted, the ICH9 generates an internal IRQ13 to its interrupt
controller unit. It is also used to gate the IGNNE# signal to ensure
that IGNNE# is not asserted to the processor unless FERR# is active.
FERR# requires an external weak pull-up to ensure a high level when
the coprocessor error function is disabled.
NOTE: FERR# can be used in some states for notification by the
processor of pending interrupt events. This functionality is
independent of the OIC register bit setting.
IGNNE#
O
Ignore Numeric Error: This signal is connected to the ignore error
pin on the processor. IGNNE# is only used if the ICH9 coprocessor
error reporting function is enabled in the OIC.CEN register (Chipset
Config Registers:Offset 31FFh: bit 1). If FERR# is active, indicating a
coprocessor error, a write to the Coprocessor Error register (I/O
register F0h) causes the IGNNE# to be asserted. IGNNE# remains
asserted until FERR# is negated. If FERR# is not asserted when the
Coprocessor Error register is written, the IGNNE# signal is not
asserted.
INIT#
O
Initialization: INIT# is asserted by the ICH9 for 16 PCI clocks to
reset the processor. ICH9 can be configured to support processor
Built In Self Test (BIST).
INTR
O
CPU Interrupt: INTR is asserted by the ICH9 to signal to the
processor that an interrupt request is pending and needs to be
serviced. It is an asynchronous output and normally driven low.
NMI
O
Non-Maskable Interrupt: NMI is used to force a non-Maskable
interrupt to the processor. The ICH9 can generate an NMI when either
SERR# is asserted or IOCHK# goes active via the SERIRQ# stream.
The processor detects an NMI when it detects a rising edge on NMI.
NMI is reset by setting the corresponding NMI source enable/disable
bit in the NMI Status and Control register (I/O Register 61h).
SMI#
O
System Management Interrupt: SMI# is an active low output
synchronous to PCICLK. It is asserted by the ICH9 in response to one
of many enabled hardware or software events.
O
Stop Clock Request: STPCLK# is an active low output synchronous
to PCICLK. It is asserted by the ICH9 in response to one of many
hardware or software events. When the processor samples STPCLK#
asserted, it responds by stopping its internal clock.

16 PCI clocks.
NOTE: The ICH9 will ignore RCIN# assertion during transitions to the
S1, S3, S4, and S5 states.
I
A20 Gate: A20GATE is from the keyboard controller. The signal acts
as an alternative method to force the A20M# signal active. It saves
the external OR gate needed with various other chipsets.
CPUPWRGD
O
CPU Power Good: This signal should be connected to the
processor’s PWRGOOD input to indicate when the processor power is
valid. This is an output signal that represents a logical AND of the
ICH9’s PWROK and VRMPWRGD signals.
DPSLP#

GPI[15:0] can be configured to cause a SMI# or SCI. Note that a GPI can be routed to
either an SMI# or an SCI, but not both.
3.
Some GPIOs exist in the VccSus3_3 power plane. Care must be taken to make sure GPIO
signals are not driven high into powered-down planes. Also, external devices should not be
driving powered down GPIOs high. Some ICH9 GPIOs may be connected to pins on devices
that exist in the core well. If these GPIOs are outputs, there is a danger that a loss of core

power (PWROK low) or a Power Button Override event will result in the Intel ICH9 driving a
pin to a logic 1 to another device that is powered down.
The functionality that is multiplexed with the GPIO may not be utilized in desktop
configuration.
This GPIO is not an open-drain when configured as an output.
SPI_CS1# and CLGPIO6 (Digital Office Only) are located in the VccCL3_3 well.
When this signal is configured as GPO the output stage is an open drain.
This signal is sampled as a functional strap. See Section 2.24.1 for more details.
The GPIO_USE_SEL bit for this signal is overridden by bit 8 in the GEN_PMCON_3 Register
(D31:F0).
The GPIO_USE_SEL bit for this is ignored. Functionality is set by bits 9:8 of FLMAP0
register.
When the multiplexed GPIO is used as GPIO functionality, care should be taken to ensure
the signal is stable in its inactive state of the native functionality, immediately after reset
until it is initialized to GPIO functionality.

Output and I/O Signals Planes and States
Table 3-2 and Table 3-3 shows the power plane associated with the output and I/O
signals, as well as the state at various times. Within the table, the following terms are
used:
Note:
“High-Z”
Tri-state. ICH9 not driving the signal high or low.
“High”
ICH9 is driving the signal to a logic 1.
“Low”
ICH9 is driving the signal to a logic 0.
“Defined”
Driven to a level that is defined by the function or external pullup/pull-down resistor (will be high or low).
“Undefined”
ICH9 is driving the signal, but the value is indeterminate.
“Running”
Clock is toggling or signal is transitioning because function not
stopping.
“Off”
The power plane is off; ICH9 is not driving when configured as
an output or sampling when configured as an input.
“Input”
ICH9 is sampling and signal state determined by external driver.
Signal levels are the same in S4 and S5, except as noted.
ICH9 suspend well signal states are indeterminate and undefined and may glitch prior
to RSMRST# deassertion. This does not apply to LAN_RST#, SLP_S3#, SLP_S4#,
S4_STATE# and SLP_S5#. These signals are determinate and defined prior to
RSMRST# deassertion.
ICH9 core well signal states are indeterminate and undefined and may glitch prior to
PWROK assertion. This does not apply to FERR# and THRMTRIP#. These signals are
determinate and defined prior to PWROK assertion.

NOTES:
1.
ICH9 drives these signals High after the processor Reset
2.
GPIO[18] will toggle at a frequency of approximately 1 Hz when the ICH9 comes out of
reset
3.
CPUPWRGD represents a logical AND of the ICH9’s VRMPWRGD and PWROK signals, and
thus will be driven low by ICH9 when either VRMPWRGD or PWROK are inactive.
4.
The states of Core and processor signals are evaluated at the times During PLTRST# and
Immediately after PLTRST#. The states of the LAN and GLAN signals are evaluated at the
times During LAN_RST# and Immediately after LAN_RST#. The states of the Controller
Link signals are taken at the times During CL_RST# and Immediately after CL_RST#. The
states of the Suspend signals are evaluated at the times During RSMRST# and
Immediately after RSMRST#. The states of the HDA signals are evaluated at the times
During HDA_RST# and Immediately after HDA_RST#.

Static: Will be high or low, but will not change
Driven: Will be high or low, and is allowed to change
Running: For input clocks
ICH9 suspend well signal states are indeterminate and undefined and may glitch prior
to RSMRST# deassertion. This does not apply to LAN_RST#, SLP_S3#, SLP_S4#,
S4_STATE# and SLP_S5#. These signals are determinate and defined prior to
RSMRST# deassertion.
ICH9 core well signal states are indeterminate and undefined and may glitch prior to

Functional Description
This chapter describes the functions and interfaces of the Intel® ICH9 family.
5.1
DMI-to-PCI Bridge (D30:F0)
The DMI-to-PCI bridge resides in PCI Device 30, Function 0 on bus #0. This portion of
the ICH9 implements the buffering and control logic between PCI and Direct Media
Interface (DMI). The arbitration for the PCI bus is handled by this PCI device. The PCI
decoder in this device must decode the ranges for the DMI. All register contents are
lost when core well power is removed.
Direct Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection between the Memory
Controller Hub / Graphics and Memory Controller Hub ((G)MCH) and I/O Controller Hub
9 (ICH9). This high-speed interface integrates advanced priority-based servicing
allowing for concurrent traffic and true isochronous transfer capabilities. Base
functionality is completely software transparent permitting current and legacy software
to operate normally.
In order to provide for true isochronous transfers and configurable Quality of Service
(QoS) transactions, the ICH9 supports two virtual channels on DMI: VC0 and VC1.
These two channels provide a fixed arbitration scheme where VC1 is always the highest
priority. VC0 is the default conduit of traffic for DMI and is always enabled. VC1 must be
specifically enabled and configured at both ends of the DMI link (i.e., the ICH9 and
(G)MCH).
Configuration registers for DMI, virtual channel support, and DMI active state power
management (ASPM) are in the RCRB space in the Chipset Config Registers
(Chapter 10).
DMI is also capable of operating in an Enterprise Southbridge Interface (ESI)
compatible mode. ESI is a chip-to-chip connection for server chipsets. In this ESIcompatible mode, the DMI signals require AC coupling. A hardware strap is used to
configure DMI in ESI-compatible mode, see Section 2.24 for details.
5.1.1
PCI Bus Interface
The ICH9 PCI interface supports PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.3, at 33 MHz.
The ICH9 integrates a PCI arbiter that supports up to four external PCI bus masters in
addition to the internal ICH9 requests.
5.1.2
PCI Bridge As an Initiator
The bridge initiates cycles on the PCI bus when granted by the PCI arbiter. The bridge
generates the following cycle types:

Functional Description
5.1.2.1
Memory Reads and Writes
The bridge bursts memory writes on PCI that are received as a single packet from DMI.
5.1.2.2
I/O Reads and Writes
The bridge generates single DW I/O read and write cycles. When the cycle completes
on the PCI bus, the bridge generates a corresponding completion on DMI. If the cycle is
retried, the cycle is kept in the down bound queue and may be passed by a postable
cycle.
5.1.2.3
Configuration Reads and Writes
The bridge generates single DW configuration read and write cycles. When the cycle
completes on the PCI bus, the bridge generates a corresponding completion. If the
cycle is retried, the cycle is kept in the down bound queue and may be passed by a
postable cycle.
5.1.2.4
Locked Cycles
The bridge propagates locks from DMI per the PCI Local Bus Specification. The PCI
bridge implements bus lock, which means the arbiter will not grant to any agent except
DMI while locked.
If a locked read results in a target or master abort, the lock is not established (as per
the PCI Local Bus Specification). Agents north of the ICH9 must not forward a
subsequent locked read to the bridge if they see the first one finish with a failed
completion.
5.1.2.5
Target / Master Aborts
When a cycle initiated by the bridge is master/target aborted, the bridge will not reattempt the same cycle. For multiple DW cycles, the bridge increments the address and
attempts the next DW of the transaction. For all non-postable cycles, a target abort
response packet is returned for each DW that was master or target aborted on PCI. The
bridge drops posted writes that abort.
5.1.2.6
Secondary Master Latency Timer
The bridge implements a Master Latency Timer via the SMLT register which, upon
expiration, causes the de-assertion of FRAME# at the next valid clock edge when there
is another active request to use the PCI bus.
5.1.2.7
Dual Address Cycle (DAC)
The bridge will issue full 64-bit dual address cycles for device memory-mapped
registers above 4 GB.
110
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.1.2.8
Memory and I/O Decode to PCI
The PCI bridge in the ICH9 is a subtractive decode agent, which follows the following
rules when forwarding a cycle from DMI to the PCI interface:
• The PCI bridge will positively decode any memory/IO address within its window
registers, assuming PCICMD.MSE (D30:F0:Offset 04h:bit 1) is set for memory
windows and PCICMD.IOSE (D30:F0:Offset 04h:bit 0) is set for IO windows.
• The PCI bridge will subtractively decode any 64-bit memory address not claimed
by another agent, assuming PCICMD.MSE (D30:F0:Offset 04h:bit 1) is set.
• The PCI bridge will subtractively decode any 16-bit I/O address not claimed by
another agent assuming PCICMD.IOSE (D30:F0:Offset 04h:bit 0) is set.
• If BCTRL.IE (D30:F0:Offset 3Eh:bit 2) is set, the PCI bridge will not positively
forward from primary to secondary called out ranges in the IO window per PCI
Local Bus Specification (I/O transactions addressing the last 768 bytes in each, 1
KB block: offsets 100h to 3FFh). The PCI bridge will still take them subtractively
assuming the above rules.
• If BCTRL.VGAE (D30:F0:Offset 3Eh:bit 3) is set, the PCI bridge will positively
forward from primary to secondary I/O and memory ranges as called out in the PCI
Bridge Specification, assuming the above rules are met.
5.1.3
Parity Error Detection and Generation
PCI parity errors can be detected and reported. The following behavioral rules apply:
• When a parity error is detected on PCI, the bridge sets the SECSTS.DPE
(D30:F0:Offset 1Eh:bit 15).
• If the bridge is a master and BCTRL.PERE (D30:F0:Offset 3Eh:bit 0) is set and one
of the parity errors defined below is detected on PCI, then the bridge will set
SECSTS.DPD (D30:F0:Offset 1Eh:bit 8) and will also generate an internal SERR#.
— During a write cycle, the PERR# signal is active, or
— A data parity error is detected while performing a read cycle
• If an address or command parity error is detected on PCI and PCICMD.SEE
(D30:F0:Offset 04h:bit 8), BCTRL.PERE, and BCTRL.SEE (D30:F0:Offset 3Eh:bit 1)
are all set, the bridge will set PSTS.SSE (D30:F0:Offset 06h:bit 14) and generate
an internal SERR#.
• If the PSTS.SSE is set because of an address parity error and the PCICMD.SEE is
set, the bridge will generate an internal SERR#
• When bad parity is detected from DMI, bad parity will be driven on all data from the
bridge.
• When an address parity error is detected on PCI, the PCI bridge will never claim the
cycle. This is a slight deviation from the PCI bridge spec, which says that a cycle
should be claimed if BCTRL.PERE is not set. However, DMI does not have a concept
of address parity error, so claiming the cycle could result in the rest of the system
seeing a bad transaction as a good transaction.

111
Functional Description
5.1.4
PCIRST#
The PCIRST# pin is generated under two conditions:
• PLTRST# active
• BCTRL.SBR (D30:F0:Offset 3Eh:bit 6) set to 1
The PCIRST# pin is in the suspend well. PCIRST# should be tied to PCI bus agents, but
not other agents in the system.
5.1.5
Peer Cycles
The PCI bridge may be the initiator of peer cycles. Peer cycles include memory, IO, and
configuration cycle types. Peer cycles are only allowed through VC0, and are enabled
with the following bits:
• BPC.PDE (D30:F0:Offset 4Ch:bit 2) – Memory and IO cycles
• BPC.CDE (D30:F0:Offset 4Ch:bit 1) – Configuration cycles
When enabled for peer for one of the above cycle types, the PCI bridge will perform a
peer decode to see if a peer agent can receive the cycle. When not enabled, memory
cycles (posted and/or non-posted) are sent to DMI, and I/O and/or configuration cycles
are not claimed.
Configuration cycles have special considerations. Under the PCI Local Bus Specification,
these cycles are not allowed to be forwarded upstream through a bridge. However, to
enable things such as manageability, BPC.CDE can be set. When set, type 1 cycles are
allowed into the part. The address format of the type 1 cycle is slightly different from a
standard PCI configuration cycle to allow addressing of extended PCI space. The format
is as follows:
Table 5-2.
Type 1 Address Format
Bits
Definition
31:27

26:24
Extended Configuration Address – allows addressing of up to
4K. These bits are combined with bits 7:2 to get the full
register.

Must be 1 to indicate a type 1 cycle. Type 0 cycles are not

Note:
The ICH9’s USB controllers cannot perform peer-to-peer traffic.
5.1.6
PCI-to-PCI Bridge Model
From a software perspective, the ICH9 contains a PCI-to-PCI bridge. This bridge
connects DMI to the PCI bus. By using the PCI-to-PCI bridge software model, the ICH9
can have its decode ranges programmed by existing plug-and-play software such that
PCI ranges do not conflict with graphics aperture ranges in the Host controller.
112
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.1.7
IDSEL to Device Number Mapping
When addressing devices on the external PCI bus (with the PCI slots), the ICH9 asserts
one address signal as an IDSEL. When accessing device 0, the ICH9 asserts AD16.
When accessing Device 1, the ICH9 asserts AD17. This mapping continues all the way
up to device 15 where the ICH9 asserts AD31. Note that the ICH9’s internal functions
(Intel® High Definition Audio, USB, SATA and PCI Bridge) are enumerated like they are
off of a separate PCI bus (DMI) from the external PCI bus.
5.1.8
Standard PCI Bus Configuration Mechanism
The PCI Bus defines a slot based “configuration space” that allows each device to
contain up to eight functions with each function containing up to 256, 8-bit
configuration registers. The PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.3 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 ICH9. The PCI
Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.3 defines two mechanisms to access configuration
space, Mechanism 1 and Mechanism 2. The ICH9 only supports Mechanism 1.
Warning:
Configuration writes to internal devices, when the devices are disabled, are invalid and
may cause undefined results.
5.2
PCI Express* Root Ports (D28:F0,F1,F2,F3,F4,F5)
There are six root ports available in ICH9. These all reside in device 28, and take
function 0 – 5. Port 1 is function 0, port 2 is function 1, port 3 is function 2, port 4 is
function 3, port 5 is function 4, and port 6 is function 5.
PCI Express Root Ports 1-4 can be statically configured as four x1 Ports or ganged
together to form one x4 port. Ports 5 and 6 can only be used as two x1 ports. On
Mobile platforms, PCI Express Ports 1-4 can also be configured as one x2 port (using
ports 1 and 2) with ports 3 and 4 configured as x1 ports. The port configuration is set
by RCBA 224h [Bits 1:0] see Section 10.1.38 for more details.
5.2.1
Interrupt Generation
The root port generates interrupts on behalf of Hot-Plug and power management
events, when enabled. These interrupts can either be pin based, or can be MSIs, when
enabled.
When an interrupt is generated via the legacy pin, the pin is internally routed to the
ICH9 interrupt controllers. The pin that is driven is based upon the setting of the
chipset configuration registers. Specifically, the chipset configuration registers used are
the D28IP (Base address + 310Ch) and D28IR (Base address + 3146h) registers.
The following table summarizes interrupt behavior for MSI and wire-modes. In the
table “bits” refers to the Hot-Plug and PME interrupt bits.

Power Management
5.2.2.1
S3/S4/S5 Support
Software initiates the transition to S3/S4/S5 by performing an IO write to the Power
Management Control register in the ICH9. After the IO write completion has been
returned to the processor, each root port will send a PME_Turn_Off TLP (Transaction
Layer Packet) message on its downstream link. The device attached to the link will
eventually respond with a PME_TO_Ack TLP message followed by sending a
PM_Enter_L23 DLLP (Data Link Layer Packet) request to enter the L2/L3 Ready state.
When all of the ICH9 root ports links are in the L2/L3 Ready state, the ICH9 power
management control logic will proceed with the entry into S3/S4/S5.
Prior to entering S3, software is required to put each device into D3HOT. When a device
is put into D3HOT it will initiate entry into a L1 link state by sending a PM_Enter_L1
DLLP. Thus under normal operating conditions when the root ports sends the
PME_Turn_Off message the link will be in state L1. However, when the root port is
instructed to send the PME_Turn_Off message, it will send it whether or not the link
was in L1. Endpoints attached to ICH can make no assumptions about the state of the
link prior to receiving a PME_Turn_Off message.
5.2.2.2
Resuming from Suspended State
The root port contains enough circuitry in the suspend well to detect a wake event
through the WAKE# signal and to wake the system. When WAKE# is detected asserted,
an internal signal is sent to the power management controller of the ICH9 to cause the
system to wake up. This internal message is not logged in any register, nor is an
interrupt/GPE generated due to it.
5.2.2.3
Device Initiated PM_PME Message
When the system has returned to a working state from a previous low power state, a
device requesting service will send a PM_PME message continuously, until acknowledge
by the root port. The root port will take different actions depending upon whether this
is the first PM_PME has been received, or whether a previous message has been
received but not yet serviced by the operating system.
If this is the first message received (RSTS.PS - D28:F0/F1/F2/F3/F4/F5:Offset 60h:bit
16 is cleared), the root port will set RSTS.PS, and log the PME Requester ID into
RSTS.RID (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3/F4/F5:Offset 60h:bits 15:0). If an interrupt is enabled via
114
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
RCTL.PIE (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3/F4/F5:Offset 5Ch:bit 3), an interrupt will be generated.
This interrupt can be either a pin or an MSI if MSI is enabled via MC.MSIE (D28:F0/F1/
F2/F3/F4/F5:Offset 82h:bit 0). See Section 5.2.2.4 for SMI/SCI generation.
If this is a subsequent message received (RSTS.PS is already set), the root port will set
RSTS.PP (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3/F4/F5:Offset 60h:bit 17) and log the PME Requester ID
from the message in a hidden register. No other action will be taken.
When the first PME event is cleared by software clearing RSTS.PS, the root port will set
RSTS.PS, clear RSTS.PP, and move the requester ID from the hidden register into
RSTS.RID.
If RCTL.PIE is set, an interrupt will be generated. If RCTL.PIE is not set, a message will
be sent to the power management controller so that a GPE can be set. If messages
have been logged (RSTS.PS is set), and RCTL.PIE is later written from a 0 to a 1, and
interrupt will be generated. This last condition handles the case where the message
was received prior to the operating system re-enabling interrupts after resuming from
a low power state.
5.2.2.4
SMI/SCI Generation
Interrupts for power management events are not supported on legacy operating
systems. To support power management on non-PCI Express aware operating systems,
PM events can be routed to generate SCI. To generate SCI, MPC.PMCE must be set.
When set, a power management event will cause SMSCS.PMCS (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3/F4/
F5:Offset DCh:bit 31) to be set.
Additionally, BIOS workarounds for power management can be supported by setting
MPC.PMME (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3/F4/F5:Offset D8h:bit 0). When this bit is set, power
management events will set SMSCS.PMMS (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3/F4/F5:Offset DCh:bit 0),
and SMI # will be generated. This bit will be set regardless of whether interrupts or SCI
is enabled. The SMI# may occur concurrently with an interrupt or SCI.
5.2.3
SERR# Generation
SERR# may be generated via two paths – through PCI mechanisms involving bits in the
PCI header, or through PCI Express* mechanisms involving bits in the PCI Express
capability structure.

Functional Description
5.2.4
Hot-Plug
Each root port implements a Hot-Plug controller which performs the following:
• Messages to turn on / off / blink LEDs
• Presence and attention button detection
• Interrupt generation
The root port only allows Hot-Plug with modules (e.g., ExpressCard*). Edge-connector
based Hot-Plug is not supported.
5.2.4.1
Presence Detection
When a module is plugged in and power is supplied, the physical layer will detect the
presence of the device, and the root port sets SLSTS.PDS (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3/F4/
F5:Offset 5Ah:bit 6) and SLSTS.PDC (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3:Offset 6h:bit 3). If SLCTL.PDE
(D28:F0/F1/F2/F3F4/F5:Offset 58h:bit 3) and SLCTL.HPE (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3F4/
F5:Offset 58h:bit 5) are both set, the root port will also generate an interrupt.
When a module is removed (via the physical layer detection), the root port clears
SLSTS.PDS and sets SLSTS.PDC. If SLCTL.PDE and SLCTL.HPE are both set, the root
port will also generate an interrupt.
5.2.4.2
Message Generation
When system software writes to SLCTL.AIC (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3F4/F5:Offset 58h:bits
7:6) or SLCTL.PIC (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3F4/F5:Offset 58h:bits 9:8), the root port will send
a message down the link to change the state of LEDs on the module.
Writes to these fields are non-postable cycles, and the resulting message is a postable
cycle. When receiving one of these writes, the root port performs the following:
• Changes the state in the register.
• Generates a completion into the upstream queue
• Formulates a message for the downstream port if the field is written to regardless
of if the field changed.
• Generates the message on the downstream port
• When the last message of a command is transmitted, sets SLSTS.CCE (D28:F0/F1/
F2/F3F4/F5:Offset 58h:bit 4) to indicate the command has completed. If
SLCTL.CCE and SLCTL.HPE (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3F4/F5:Offset 58h:bit 5) are set, the
root port generates an interrupt.
The command completed register (SLSTS.CC) applies only to commands issued by
software to control the Attention Indicator (SLCTL.AIC), Power Indicator (SLCTL.PIC),
or Power Controller (SLCTL.PCC). However, writes to other parts of the Slot Control
Register would invariably end up writing to the indicators, power controller fields;
Hence, any write to the Slot Control Register is considered a command and if enabled,
will result in a command complete interrupt. The only exception to this rule is a write to
disable the command complete interrupt which will not result in a command complete
interrupt.
A single write to the Slot Control register is considered to be a single command, and
hence receives a single command complete, even if the write affects more than one
field in the Slot Control Register.
116
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.2.4.3
Attention Button Detection
When an attached device is ejected, an attention button could be pressed by the user.
This attention button press will result in the PCI Express message
“Attention_Button_Pressed” from the device. Upon receiving this message, the root
port will set SLSTS.ABP (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3F4/F5:Offset 5Ah:bit 0).
If SLCTL.ABE (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3F4/F5:Offset 58h:bit 0) and SLCTL.HPE (D28:F0/F1/F2/
F3F4/F5:Offset 58h:bit 5) are set, the Hot-Plug controller will also generate an
interrupt. The interrupt is generated on an edge-event. For example, if SLSTS.ABP is
already set, a new interrupt will not be generated.
5.2.4.4
SMI/SCI Generation
Interrupts for Hot-Plug events are not supported on legacy operating systems. To
support Hot-Plug on non-PCI Express aware operating systems, Hot-Plug events can be
routed to generate SCI. To generate SCI, MPC.HPCE (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3F4/F5:Offset
D8h:bit 30) must be set. When set, enabled Hot-Plug events will cause SMSCS.HPCS
(D28:F0/F1/F2/F3F4/F5:Offset DCh:bit 30) to be set.
Additionally, BIOS workarounds for Hot-Plug can be supported by setting MPC.HPME
(D28:F0/F1/F2/F3F4/F5:Offset D8h:bit 1). When this bit is set, Hot-Plug events can
cause SMI status bits in SMSCS to be set. Supported Hot-Plug events and their
corresponding SMSCS bit are:
• Command Completed - SCSCS.HPCCM (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3/F4/F5:Offset DCh:bit 3)
• Presence Detect Changed - SMSCS.HPPDM (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3/F4/F5:Offset DCh:bit
1)
• Attention Button Pressed - SMSCS.HPABM (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3/F4/F5:Offset DCh:bit
2)
• Link Active State Changed - SMSCS.HPLAS (D28:F0/F1/F2/F3/F4/F5:Offset DCh:bit
4)
When any of these bits are set, SMI # will be generated. These bits are set regardless
of whether interrupts or SCI is enabled for Hot-Plug events. The SMI# may occur
concurrently with an interrupt or SCI.
5.3
Gigabit Ethernet Controller (B0:D25:F0)
The ICH9 integrates a Gigabit Ethernet Controller. The integrated Gigabit Ethernet
controller is compatible with Intel 10/100 PHY (Intel® 82562V Platform LAN Connect
device) and Gigabit Ethernet PHY (Intel® 82566 Gigabit Platform LAN Connect device).
The integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller provides two interfaces: LAN Connect
Interface (LCI) for 10/100 operation and Gigabit LAN Connect Interface (GLCI) for
Gigabit Ethernet operation. The GLCI is shared with the ICH9’s PCI Express port 6.
The ICH9 integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller supports multi speed operation,
10/100/1000 MB/s. The integrated Gigabit Ethernet can operate in full-duplex at all
supported speeds or half-duplex at 10/100 MB/s, and adheres with the IEEE 802.3x
Flow Control Specification.
Note:
Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mb/s) is only supported in S0.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
117
Functional Description
The controller provides a system interface via a PCI function. A full memory-mapped or
IO-mapped interface is provided to the software, along with DMA mechanisms for high
performance data transfer.
The following summarizes the ICH9 integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller features:
• Configurable LED operation for customization of LED display.
• IPv4 and IPv6 Checksum Offload support (receive, transmit, and large send).
• 64-bit address master support for system using more than 4 GB of physical
memory.
• Configurable receive and transmit data FIFO, programmable in 1 KB increments.
• Intelligent interrupt generation to enhance driver performance.
• Compliance with Advanced Configuration and Power Interface and PCI Power
Management standards.
• ACPI register set and power down functionality supporting D0 & D3 states.
• Full wake-up support (APM and ACPI).
• Magic Packet wake-up enable with unique MAC address.
• Fragmented UDP checksum off load for package reassembly.
• Jumbo frames supported.
5.3.1
Gigabit Ethernet PCI Bus Interface
The Gigabit Ethernet controller has a PCI interface to the host processor and host
memory. The following sections detail the transaction on the bus.
5.3.1.1
Transaction Layer
The upper layer of the host architecture is the transaction layer. The transaction layer
connects to the device core using an implementation specific protocol. Through this
core-to-transaction-layer protocol, the application-specific parts of the device interact
with the subsystem and transmit and receive requests to or from the remote agent,
respectively.
5.3.1.2
Data Alignment
5.3.1.2.1
4 K Boundary
PCI requests must never specify an Address/Length combination that causes a Memory
Space access to cross a 4 K boundary. It is the HW responsibility to break requests into
4 K-aligned requests (if needed). This does not pose any requirement on SW. However,
if SW allocates a buffer across a 4 K boundary, HW will issue multiple requests for the
buffer. SW should consider aligning buffers to 4 KB boundary in cases where it
improves performance.
The alignment to the 4 K boundaries is done in the core. The Transaction layer will not
do any alignment according to these boundaries.
5.3.1.2.2
64 Bytes
PCI requests are multiples of 64 bytes and aligned to make better use of memory
controller resources. Writes, however, can be on any boundary and can cross a 64 byte
alignment boundary
118
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.3.1.3
Configuration Request Retry Status
The LAN Controller might have a delay in initialization due to NVM read. If the NVM
configuration read operation is not completed and the device receives a Configuration
Request, the device will respond with a Configuration Request Retry Completion Status
to terminate the Request, and thus effectively stall the Configuration Request until such
time that the subsystem has completed local initialization and is ready to communicate
with the host.
5.3.2
Error Events and Error Reporting
5.3.2.1
Data Parity Error
The PCI Host bus does not provide parity protection, but it does forward parity errors
from bridges. The LAN Controller recognizes parity errors through the internal bus
interface and will set the Parity Error bit in PCI Configuration space. If parity errors are
enabled in configuration space, a system error will be indicated on the PCI Host bus to
the chipset. The offending cycle with a parity error will be dropped and not processed
by the LAN Controller.
5.3.2.2
Completion with Unsuccessful Completion Status
A completion with unsuccessful completion status (any status other than "000") will be
dropped and not processed by the LAN Controller. Furthermore, the request that
corresponds to the unsuccessful completion will not be retried. When this unsuccessful
completion status is received, the System Error bit in the PCI Configuration space will
be set. If the system errors are enabled in configuration space, a system error will be
indicated on the PCI Host bus to the chipset.
5.3.3
Ethernet Interface
The integrated LAN controller provides a complete CSMA/CD function supporting IEEE
802.3 (10Mb/s), 802.3u (100Mb/s) implementations. It also supports the IEEE 802.3z
and 802.3ab (1000Mb/s) implementations. The device performs all of the functions
required for transmission, reception and collision handling called out in the standards.
The mode used to communicate between the LAN controller and the LAN connect
device supports 10/100/1000 Mbps operation, with both half- and full-duplex operation
at 10/100 Mbps, and full-duplex operation at 1000 Mbps.
5.3.3.1
MAC/LAN Connect Interface
The integrated LAN controller and LAN Connect Device communicate through either the
platform LAN connect interface (LCI) or Gigabit LAN connect interface (GLCI). All
controller configuration is performed using device control registers mapped into system
memory or I/O space. The LAN Connect Device is configured via the LCI or Gigabit
Ethernet Lan connect interface.
The integrated MAC supports various modes as summarized in the following table

Functional Description
5.3.4
PCI Power Management
The LAN Controller supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
specification as well as Advanced Power Management (APM). This allows the host to be
awoken (i.e. from Sx (S3-S5) to S0) by network-related activity via an internal host
wake signal.
The LAN controller contains power management registers for PCI, and supports D0 and
D3 states. PCI transactions are only allowed in the D0 state, except for host accesses
to the LAN controller’s PCI configuration registers.
5.3.4.1
Wake-Up
The LAN Controller supports two types of wakeup mechanisms:
1. Advanced Power Management (APM) Wakeup
2. ACPI Power Management Wakeup
Both mechanisms use an internal WAKE# signal to wake the system up. This signal is
connected to the suspend wake logic in the ICH9. The wake-up steps are as follows:
1. Host Wake Event occurs (note that packet is not delivered to host)
2. PME_STATUS bit is set
3. Internal WAKE# signal asserted by Host LAN function
4. System wakes from Sx state to S0 state
5. The Host LAN function is transitioned to D0
6. The Host clears the PME_STATUS bit
7. Internal WAKE# signal is deasserted by Host LAN function
5.3.4.1.1
Advanced Power Management Wakeup
Advanced Power Management Wakeup, or APM Wakeup, was previously known as Wake
on LAN. It is a feature that has existed in the 10/100 Mbps NICs for several
generations. The basic premise is to receive a broadcast or unicast packet with an
explicit data pattern, and then to assert a signal to wake-up the system. In the earlier
generations, this was accomplished by using a special signal that ran across a cable to
a defined connector on the motherboard. The NIC would assert the signal for
approximately 50ms to signal a wakeup. The LAN Controller uses (if configured to) an
in-band PM_PME message for this.
On power-up, the LAN Controller will read the APM Enable bits from the NVM PCI Init
Control Word into the APM Enable (APME) bits of the Wakeup Control Register (WUC).
These bits control enabling of APM Wakeup.
When APM Wakeup is enabled, the LAN Controller checks all incoming packets for Magic
Packets.
Once the LAN Controller receives a matching magic packet, it will:
• Set the Magic Packet Received bit in the Wake Up Status Register (WUS).
• Set the PME_Status bit in the Power Management Control / Status Register
(PMCSR) and assert the internal WAKE# signal.
APM Wakeup is supported in all power states and only disabled if a subsequent NVM
read results in the APM Wake Up bit being cleared or the software explicitly writes a 0
to the APM Wake Up (APM) bit of the WUC register.
120
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.3.4.1.2
ACPI Power Management Wakeup
The LAN Controller supports ACPI Power Management based Wakeups. It can generate
system wake-up events from three sources:
• Reception of a Magic Packet.
• Reception of a Network Wakeup Packet.
• Detection of a link change of state.
Activating ACPI Power Management Wakeup requires the following steps:
• The driver programs the Wake Up Filter Control Register (WUFC) to indicate the
packets it wishes to wake up from and supplies the necessary data to the Ipv4
Address Table (IP4AT) and the Flexible Filter Mask Table (FFMT), Flexible Filter
Length Table (FFLT), and the Flexible Filter Value Table (FFVT). It can also set the
Link Status Change Wake Up Enable (LNKC) bit in the Wake Up Filter Control
Register (WUFC) to cause wakeup when the link changes state.
• The OS (at configuration time) writes a 1 to the PME_EN bit of the Power
Management Control / Status Register (PMCSR.8).
Normally, after enabling wakeup, the OS will write 11b to the lower two bits of the
PMCSR to put the LAN Controller into low-power mode.
Once Wakeup is enabled, the LAN Controller monitors incoming packets, first filtering
them according to its standard address filtering method, then filtering them with all of
the enabled wakeup filters. If a packet passes both the standard address filtering and
at least one of the enabled wakeup filters, the LAN Controller will:
• Set the PME_Status bit in the Power Management Control / Status Register
(PMCSR)
• If the PME_EN bit in the Power Management Control / Status Register (PMCSR) is
set, assert the internal WAKE# signal.
• Set one or more of the Received bits in the Wake Up Status Register (WUS). (More
than one bit will be set if a packet matches more than one filter.)
If enabled, a link state change wakeup will cause similar results, setting PME_Status,
asserting the internal WAKE# signal and setting the Link Status Changed (LNKC) bit in
the Wake Up Status Register (WUS) when the link goes up or down.
The internal WAKE# signal will remain asserted until the OS either writes a 1 to the
PME_Status bit of the PMCSR register or writes a 0 to the PME_En bit.
After receiving a wakeup packet, the LAN Controller will ignore any subsequent wakeup
packets until the driver clears all of the Received bits in the Wake Up Status Register
(WUS). It will also ignore link change events until the driver clears the Link Status
Changed (LNKC) bit in the Wake Up Status Register (WUS).
5.3.5
Configurable LEDs
The LAN Controller supports 3 controllable and configurable LEDs that are driven from
the LAN Connect Device. Each of the three LED outputs can be individually configured
to select the particular event, state, or activity, which will be indicated on that output.
In addition, each LED can be individually configured for output polarity as well as for
blinking versus non-blinking (steady-state) indication.
The configuration for LED outputs is specified via the LEDCTL register. Furthermore, the
hardware-default configuration for all the LED outputs, can be specified via NVM fields,
thereby supporting LED displays configurable to a particular OEM preference.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
121
Functional Description
Each of the 3 LED's may be configured to use one of a variety of sources for output
indication. The MODE bits control the LED source:
• LINK_100/1000 is asserted when link is established at either 100 or 1000Mbps.
• LINK_10/1000 is asserted when link is established at either 10 or 1000Mbps.
• LINK_UP is asserted when any speed link is established and maintained.
ACTIVITY is asserted when link is established and packets are being transmitted or
received.
• LINK/ACTIVITY is asserted when link is established AND there is NO transmit or
receive activity
• LINK_10 is asserted when a 10Mbps link is established and maintained.
• LINK_100 is asserted when a 100Mbps link is established and maintained.
• LINK_1000 is asserted when a 1000Mbps link is established and maintained.
• FULL_DUPLEX is asserted when the link is configured for full duplex operation.
• COLLISION is asserted when a collision is observed.
• PAUSED is asserted when the device's transmitter is flow controlled.
• LED_ON is always asserted; LED_OFF is always de-asserted.
The IVRT bits allow the LED source to be inverted before being output or observed by
the blink-control logic. LED outputs are assumed to normally be connected to the
negative side (cathode) of an external LED.
The BLINK bits control whether the LED should be blinked while the LED source is
asserted, and the blinking frequency (either 200ms on and 200ms off or 83ms on and
83ms off). The blink control may be especially useful for ensuring that certain events,
such as ACTIVITY indication, cause LED transitions, which are sufficiently visible to a
human eye. The same blinking rate is shared by all LEDs
5.3.6
Function Level Reset Support (FLR)
The Gigabit LAN Controller supports the Function Level Reset (FLR) capability. The FLR
capability can be used in conjunction with Intel® Virtualization Technology. FLR allows
an Operating System in a Virtual Machine to have complete control over a device,
including its initialization, without interfering with the rest of the platform. The device
provides a software interface that enables the Operating System to reset the whole
device as if a PCI reset was asserted.
5.3.6.1
FLR Steps
5.3.6.1.1
FLR Initialization
1) A FLR is initiated by software writing a ‘1’ to the Initiate FLR bit.
2) All subsequent requests targeting the Function will not be claimed and will be Master
Abort Immediate on the bus. This includes any configuration, I/O or Memory cycles,
however, the Function shall continue to accept completions targeting the Function.
5.3.6.1.2
FLR Operation
Function will Reset all configuration, I/O and memory registers of the Function except
those indicated otherwise and reset all internal states of the Function to the default or
initial condition.
122
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.3.6.1.3
FLR Completion
The Initiate FLR bit is reset (cleared) when the FLR reset is completed. This bit can be
used to indicate to the software that the FLR reset is completed.
Note: From the time Initiate FLR bit is written to '1' software must wait at least 100ms
before accessing the function.
5.4
LPC Bridge (w/ System and Management
Functions) (D31:F0)
The LPC bridge function of the ICH9 resides in PCI Device 31:Function 0. In addition to
the LPC bridge function, D31:F0 contains other functional units including DMA,
Interrupt controllers, Timers, Power Management, System Management, GPIO, and
RTC. In this chapter, registers and functions associated with other functional units
(power management, GPIO, USB, etc.) are described in their respective sections.
Note:
The LPC bridge cannot be configured as a subtractive decode agent.
5.4.1
LPC Interface
The ICH9 implements an LPC interface as described in the Low Pin Count Interface
Specification, Revision 1.1. The LPC interface to the ICH9 is shown in Figure 5-2. Note
that the ICH9 implements all of the signals that are shown as optional, but peripherals
are not required to do so.

can be to any address. However, the 2-byte transfer must be word-aligned (i.e., with an
address where A0=0). A dword transfer must be dword-aligned (i.e., with an address
where A1 and A0 are both 0).

1010
Error: Sync achieved with error. This is generally used to replace the SERR# or
IOCHK# signal on the PCI/ISA bus. It indicates that the data is to be transferred,
but there is a serious error in this transfer. For DMA transfers, this not only
indicates an error, but also indicates DMA request deassertion and no more
transfers desired for that channel.
NOTES:
1.
All other combinations are RESERVED.
2.
If the LPC controller receives any SYNC returned from the device other than short (0101),
long wait (0110), or ready (0000) when running a FWH cycle, indeterminate results may
occur. A FWH device is not allowed to assert an Error SYNC.
5.4.1.6
SYNC Time-Out
There are several error cases that can occur on the LPC interface. The ICH9 responds
as defined in section 4.2.1.9 of the Low Pin Count Interface Specification, Revision 1.1
to the stimuli described therein. There may be other peripheral failure conditions;
however, these are not handled by the ICH9.
5.4.1.7
SYNC Error Indication
The ICH9 responds as defined in section 4.2.1.10 of the Low Pin Count Interface
Specification, Revision 1.1.
Upon recognizing the SYNC field indicating an error, the ICH9 treats this as an SERR by
reporting this into the Device 31 Error Reporting Logic.

5.4.1.8
LFRAME# Usage
The ICH9 follows the usage of LFRAME# as defined in the Low Pin Count Interface
Specification, Revision 1.1.
The ICH9 performs an abort for the following cases (possible failure cases):
• ICH9 starts a Memory, I/O, or DMA cycle, but no device drives a valid SYNC after
four consecutive clocks.
• ICH9 starts a Memory, I/O, or DMA cycle, and the peripheral drives an invalid SYNC
pattern.
• A peripheral drives an invalid address when performing bus master cycles.
• A peripheral drives an invalid value.
5.4.1.9
I/O Cycles
For I/O cycles targeting registers specified in the ICH9’s decode ranges, the ICH9
performs I/O cycles as defined in the Low Pin Count Interface Specification, Revision
1.1. These are 8-bit transfers. If the processor attempts a 16-bit or 32-bit transfer, the
ICH9 breaks the cycle up into multiple 8-bit transfers to consecutive I/O addresses.
Note:
If the cycle is not claimed by any peripheral (and subsequently aborted), the ICH9
returns a value of all 1s (FFh) to the processor. This is to maintain compatibility with
ISA I/O cycles where pull-up resistors would keep the bus high if no device responds.
5.4.1.10
Bus Master Cycles
The ICH9 supports Bus Master cycles and requests (using LDRQ#) as defined in the
Low Pin Count Interface Specification, Revision 1.1. The ICH9 has two LDRQ# inputs,
and thus supports two separate bus master devices. It uses the associated START fields
for Bus Master 0 (0010b) or Bus Master 1 (0011b).
Note:
The ICH9 does not support LPC Bus Masters performing I/O cycles. LPC Bus Masters
should only perform memory read or memory write cycles.
5.4.1.11
LPC Power Management
CLKRUN# Protocol (Mobile Only)
The CLKRUN# protocol is same as the PCI Local Bus Specification. Stopping the PCI
clock stops the LPC clock.
LPCPD# Protocol
Same timings as for SUS_STAT#. Upon driving SUS_STAT# low, LPC peripherals drive
LDRQ# low or tri-state it. ICH9 shuts off the LDRQ# input buffers. After driving
SUS_STAT# active, the ICH9 drives LFRAME# low, and tri-states (or drive low)
LAD[3:0].
Note:
The Low Pin Count Interface Specification, Revision 1.1 defines the LPCPD# protocol
where there is at least 30 µs from LPCPD# assertion to LRST# assertion. This
specification explicitly states that this protocol only applies to entry/exit of low power
states which does not include asynchronous reset events. The ICH9 asserts both
SUS_STAT# (connects to LPCPD#) and PLTRST# (connects to LRST#) at the same time
when the core logic is reset (via CF9h, PWROK, or SYS_RESET#, etc.). This is not
inconsistent with the LPC LPCPD# protocol.

5.4.1.12
Configuration and Intel® ICH9 Implications
LPC I/F Decoders
To allow the I/O cycles and memory mapped cycles to go to the LPC interface, the ICH9
includes several decoders. During configuration, the ICH9 must be programmed with
the same decode ranges as the peripheral. The decoders are programmed via the
Device 31:Function 0 configuration space.
Note:
The ICH9 cannot accept PCI write cycles from PCI-to-PCI bridges or devices with
similar characteristics (specifically those with a “Retry Read” feature which is enabled)
to an LPC device if there is an outstanding LPC read cycle towards the same PCI device
or bridge. These cycles are not part of normal system operation, but may be
encountered as part of platform validation testing using custom test fixtures.
Bus Master Device Mapping and START Fields
Bus Masters must have a unique START field. In the case of the ICH9 that supports two
LPC bus masters, it drives 0010 for the START field for grants to bus master #0
(requested via LDRQ0#) and 0011 for grants to bus master #1 (requested via
LDRQ1#.). Thus, no registers are needed to configure the START fields for a particular
bus master.
5.5
DMA Operation (D31:F0)
The ICH9 supports LPC DMA using the ICH9’s DMA controller. The DMA controller has
registers that are fixed in the lower 64 KB of I/O space. The DMA controller is
configured using registers in the PCI configuration space. These registers allow
configuration of the channels for use by LPC DMA.
The DMA circuitry incorporates the functionality of two 82C37 DMA controllers with
seven independently programmable channels (Figure 5-3). DMA controller 1 (DMA-1)
corresponds to DMA channels 0–3 and DMA controller 2 (DMA-2) corresponds to
channels 5–7. DMA channel 4 is used to cascade the two controllers and defaults to
cascade mode in the DMA Channel Mode (DCM) Register. Channel 4 is not available for
any other purpose. In addition to accepting requests from DMA slaves, the DMA
controller also responds to requests that software initiates. Software may initiate a
DMA service request by setting any bit in the DMA Channel Request Register to a 1.

hardwired to 16-bit, count-by-words (address shifted) transfers.
ICH9 provides 24-bit addressing in compliance with the ISA-Compatible specification.
Each channel includes a 16-bit ISA-Compatible Current Register which holds the 16
least-significant bits of the 24-bit address, an ISA-Compatible Page Register which
contains the eight next most significant bits of address.

Functional Description
The DMA controller also features refresh address generation, and auto-initialization
following a DMA termination.
5.5.1
Channel Priority
For priority resolution, the DMA consists of two logical channel groups: channels 0–3
and channels 4–7. Each group may be in either fixed or rotate mode, as determined by
the DMA Command Register.
DMA I/O slaves normally assert their DREQ line to arbitrate for DMA service. However,
a software request for DMA service can be presented through each channel's DMA
Request Register. A software request is subject to the same prioritization as any
hardware request. See the detailed register description for Request Register
programming information in Section 13.2.
5.5.1.1
Fixed Priority
The initial fixed priority structure is as follows:
High priority
Low priority
0, 1, 2, 3
5, 6, 7
The fixed priority ordering is 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7. In this scheme, channel 0 has the
highest priority, and channel 7 has the lowest priority. Channels [3:0] of DMA-1 assume
the priority position of channel 4 in DMA-2, thus taking priority over channels 5, 6, and
7.
5.5.1.2
Rotating Priority
Rotation allows for “fairness” in priority resolution. The priority chain rotates so that the
last channel serviced is assigned the lowest priority in the channel group (0–3, 5–7).
Channels 0–3 rotate as a group of 4. They are always placed between channel 5 and
channel 7 in the priority list.
Channel 5–7 rotate as part of a group of 4. That is, channels (5–7) form the first three
positions in the rotation, while channel group (0–3) comprises the fourth position in the
arbitration.
5.5.2
Address Compatibility Mode
When the DMA is operating, the addresses do not increment or decrement through the
High and Low Page Registers. Therefore, if a 24-bit address is 01FFFFh and increments,
the next address is 010000h, not 020000h. Similarly, if a 24-bit address is 020000h
and decrements, the next address is 02FFFFh, not 01FFFFh. However, when the DMA is
operating in 16-bit mode, the addresses still do not increment or decrement through
the High and Low Page Registers but the page boundary is now 128 K. Therefore, if a
24-bit address is 01FFFEh and increments, the next address is 000000h, not
0100000h. Similarly, if a 24-bit address is 020000h and decrements, the next address
is 03FFFEh, not 02FFFEh. This is compatible with the 82C37 and Page Register
implementation used in the PC-AT. This mode is set after CPURST is valid.

Summary of DMA Transfer Sizes
Table 5-10 lists each of the DMA device transfer sizes. The column labeled “Current
Byte/Word Count Register” indicates that the register contents represents either the
number of bytes to transfer or the number of 16-bit words to transfer. The column
labeled “Current Address Increment/Decrement” indicates the number added to or
taken from the Current Address register after each DMA transfer cycle. The DMA
Channel Mode Register determines if the Current Address Register will be incremented
or decremented.

The ICH9 maintains compatibility with the implementation of the DMA in the PC AT that

count-by-words.
Note:
The least significant bit of the Low Page Register is dropped in 16-bit shifted mode.
When programming the Current Address Register (when the DMA channel is in this
mode), the Current Address must be programmed to an even address with the address
value shifted right by one bit.
The address shifting is shown in Table 5-11.

5.5.4
Autoinitialize
By programming a bit in the DMA Channel Mode Register, a channel may be set up as
an autoinitialize channel. When a channel undergoes autoinitialization, the original
values of the Current Page, Current Address and Current Byte/Word Count Registers
are automatically restored from the Base Page, Address, and Byte/Word Count
Registers of that channel following TC. The Base Registers are loaded simultaneously
with the Current Registers by the microprocessor when the DMA channel is
programmed and remain unchanged throughout the DMA service. The mask bit is not
set when the channel is in autoinitialize. Following autoinitialize, the channel is ready to
perform another DMA service, without processor intervention, as soon as a valid DREQ
is detected.

Software Commands
There are three additional special software commands that the DMA controller can
execute. The three software commands are:
• Clear Byte Pointer Flip-Flop
• Master Clear
• Clear Mask Register
They do not depend on any specific bit pattern on the data bus.
5.6
LPC DMA
DMA on LPC is handled through the use of the LDRQ# lines from peripherals and
special encodings on LAD[3:0] from the host. Single, Demand, Verify, and Increment
modes are supported on the LPC interface. Channels 0–3 are 8 bit channels. Channels
5–7 are 16-bit channels.
Channel 4 is reserved as a generic bus master request.
5.6.1
Asserting DMA Requests
Peripherals that need DMA service encode their requested channel number on the
LDRQ# signal. To simplify the protocol, each peripheral on the LPC I/F has its own
dedicated LDRQ# signal (they may not be shared between two separate peripherals).
The ICH9 has two LDRQ# inputs, allowing at least two devices to support DMA or bus
mastering.
LDRQ# is synchronous with LCLK (PCI clock). As shown in Figure 5-4, the peripheral
uses the following serial encoding sequence:
• Peripheral starts the sequence by asserting LDRQ# low (start bit). LDRQ# is high
during idle conditions.
• The next three bits contain the encoded DMA channel number (MSB first).
• The next bit (ACT) indicates whether the request for the indicated DMA channel is
active or inactive. The ACT bit is 1 (high) to indicate if it is active and 0 (low) if it is
inactive. The case where ACT is low is rare, and is only used to indicate that a
previous request for that channel is being abandoned.
• After the active/inactive indication, the LDRQ# signal must go high for at least 1
clock. After that one clock, LDRQ# signal can be brought low to the next encoding
sequence.
If another DMA channel also needs to request a transfer, another sequence can be sent
on LDRQ#. For example, if an encoded request is sent for channel 2, and then channel
3 needs a transfer before the cycle for channel 2 is run on the interface, the peripheral
can send the encoded request for channel 3. This allows multiple DMA agents behind an
I/O device to request use of the LPC interface, and the I/O device does not need to selfarbitrate before sending the message.

Abandoning DMA Requests
DMA Requests can be deasserted in two fashions: on error conditions by sending an
LDRQ# message with the ‘ACT’ bit set to 0, or normally through a SYNC field during the
DMA transfer. This section describes boundary conditions where the DMA request needs
to be removed prior to a data transfer.
There may be some special cases where the peripheral desires to abandon a DMA
transfer. The most likely case of this occurring is due to a floppy disk controller which
has overrun or underrun its FIFO, or software stopping a device prematurely.
In these cases, the peripheral wishes to stop further DMA activity. It may do so by
sending an LDRQ# message with the ACT bit as 0. However, since the DMA request was
seen by the ICH9, there is no assurance that the cycle has not been granted and will
shortly run on LPC. Therefore, peripherals must take into account that a DMA cycle may
still occur. The peripheral can choose not to respond to this cycle, in which case the
host will abort it, or it can choose to complete the cycle normally with any random data.
This method of DMA deassertion should be prevented whenever possible, to limit
boundary conditions both on the ICH9 and the peripheral.
5.6.3
General Flow of DMA Transfers
Arbitration for DMA channels is performed through the 8237 within the host. Once the
host has won arbitration on behalf of a DMA channel assigned to LPC, it asserts
LFRAME# on the LPC I/F and begins the DMA transfer. The general flow for a basic DMA
transfer is as follows:
1. ICH9 starts transfer by asserting 0000b on LAD[3:0] with LFRAME# asserted.
2. ICH9 asserts ‘cycle type’ of DMA, direction based on DMA transfer direction.
3. ICH9 asserts channel number and, if applicable, terminal count.
4. ICH9 indicates the size of the transfer: 8 or 16 bits.
5. If a DMA read…
— The ICH9 drives the first 8 bits of data and turns the bus around.
— The peripheral acknowledges the data with a valid SYNC.
— If a 16-bit transfer, the process is repeated for the next 8 bits.
6. If a DMA write…
— The ICH9 turns the bus around and waits for data.
— The peripheral indicates data ready through SYNC and transfers the first byte.
— If a 16-bit transfer, the peripheral indicates data ready and transfers the next
byte.
7. The peripheral turns around the bus.
132
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.6.4
Terminal Count
Terminal count is communicated through LAD[3] on the same clock that DMA channel is
communicated on LAD[2:0]. This field is the CHANNEL field. Terminal count indicates
the last byte of transfer, based upon the size of the transfer.
For example, on an 8-bit transfer size (SIZE field is 00b), if the TC bit is set, then this is
the last byte. On a 16-bit transfer (SIZE field is 01b), if the TC bit is set, then the
second byte is the last byte. The peripheral, therefore, must internalize the TC bit when
the CHANNEL field is communicated, and only signal TC when the last byte of that
transfer size has been transferred.
5.6.5
Verify Mode
Verify mode is supported on the LPC interface. A verify transfer to the peripheral is
similar to a DMA write, where the peripheral is transferring data to main memory. The
indication from the host is the same as a DMA write, so the peripheral will be driving
data onto the LPC interface. However, the host will not transfer this data into main
memory.
5.6.6
DMA Request Deassertion
An end of transfer is communicated to the ICH9 through a special SYNC field
transmitted by the peripheral. An LPC device must not attempt to signal the end of a
transfer by deasserting LDREQ#. If a DMA transfer is several bytes (e.g., a transfer
from a demand mode device) the ICH9 needs to know when to deassert the DMA
request based on the data currently being transferred.
The DMA agent uses a SYNC encoding on each byte of data being transferred, which
indicates to the ICH9 whether this is the last byte of transfer or if more bytes are
requested. To indicate the last byte of transfer, the peripheral uses a SYNC value of
0000b (ready with no error), or 1010b
(ready with error). These encodings tell the ICH9 that this is the last piece of data
transferred on a DMA read (ICH9 to peripheral), or the byte that follows is the last
piece of data transferred on a DMA write (peripheral to ICH9).
When the ICH9 sees one of these two encodings, it ends the DMA transfer after this
byte and deasserts the DMA request to the 8237. Therefore, if the ICH9 indicated a 16bit transfer, the peripheral can end the transfer after one byte by indicating a SYNC
value of 0000b or 1010b. The ICH9 does not attempt to transfer the second byte, and
deasserts the DMA request internally.
If the peripheral indicates a 0000b or 1010b SYNC pattern on the last byte of the
indicated size, then the ICH9 only deasserts the DMA request to the 8237 since it does
not need to end the transfer.
If the peripheral wishes to keep the DMA request active, then it uses a SYNC value of
1001b (ready plus more data). This tells the 8237 that more data bytes are requested
after the current byte has been transferred, so the ICH9 keeps the DMA request active
to the 8237. Therefore, on an 8-bit transfer size, if the peripheral indicates a SYNC
value of 1001b to the ICH9, the data will be transferred and the DMA request will
remain active to the 8237. At a later time, the ICH9 will then come back with another
START–CYCTYPE–CHANNEL–SIZE etc. combination to initiate another transfer to the
peripheral.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
133
Functional Description
The peripheral must not assume that the next START indication from the ICH9 is
another grant to the peripheral if it had indicated a SYNC value of 1001b. On a single
mode DMA device, the 8237 will re-arbitrate after every transfer. Only demand mode
DMA devices can be assured that they will receive the next START indication from the
ICH9.
Note:
Indicating a 0000b or 1010b encoding on the SYNC field of an odd byte of a 16-bit
channel (first byte of a 16-bit transfer) is an error condition.
Note:
The host stops the transfer on the LPC bus as indicated, fills the upper byte with
random data on DMA writes (peripheral to memory), and indicates to the 8237 that the
DMA transfer occurred, incrementing the 8237’s address and decrementing its byte
count.
5.6.7
SYNC Field / LDRQ# Rules
Since DMA transfers on LPC are requested through an LDRQ# assertion message, and
are ended through a SYNC field during the DMA transfer, the peripheral must obey the
following rule when initiating back-to-back transfers from a DMA channel.
The peripheral must not assert another message for eight LCLKs after a deassertion is
indicated through the SYNC field. This is needed to allow the 8237, that typically runs
off a much slower internal clock, to see a message deasserted before it is re-asserted
so that it can arbitrate to the next agent.
Under default operation, the host only performs 8-bit transfers on 8-bit channels and
16-bit transfers on 16-bit channels.
The method by which this communication between host and peripheral through system
BIOS is performed is beyond the scope of this specification. Since the LPC host and LPC
peripheral are motherboard devices, no “plug-n-play” registry is required.
The peripheral must not assume that the host is able to perform transfer sizes that are
larger than the size allowed for the DMA channel, and be willing to accept a SIZE field
that is smaller than what it may currently have buffered.
To that end, it is recommended that future devices that may appear on the LPC bus,
that require higher bandwidth than 8-bit or 16-bit DMA allow, do so with a bus
mastering interface and not rely on the 8237.

Functional Description
5.7
8254 Timers (D31:F0)
The ICH9 contains three counters that have fixed uses. All registers and functions
associated with the 8254 timers are in the core well. The 8254 unit is clocked by a
14.31818 MHz clock.
Counter 0, System Timer
This counter functions as the system timer by controlling the state of IRQ0 and is
typically programmed for Mode 3 operation. The counter produces a square wave with
a period equal to the product of the counter period (838 ns) and the initial count value.
The counter loads the initial count value 1 counter period after software writes the
count value to the counter I/O address. The counter initially asserts IRQ0 and
decrements the count value by two each counter period. The counter negates IRQ0
when the count value reaches 0. It then reloads the initial count value and again
decrements the initial count value by two each counter period. The counter then
asserts IRQ0 when the count value reaches 0, reloads the initial count value, and
repeats the cycle, alternately asserting and negating IRQ0.
Counter 1, Refresh Request Signal
This counter provides the refresh request signal and is typically programmed for Mode
2 operation and only impacts the period of the REF_TOGGLE bit in Port 61. The initial
count value is loaded one counter period after being written to the counter I/O address.
The REF_TOGGLE bit will have a square wave behavior (alternate between 0 and 1) and
will toggle at a rate based on the value in the counter. Programming the counter to
anything other than Mode 2 will result in undefined behavior for the REF_TOGGLE bit.
Counter 2, Speaker Tone
This counter provides the speaker tone and is typically programmed for Mode 3
operation. The counter provides a speaker frequency equal to the counter clock
frequency (1.193 MHz) divided by the initial count value. The speaker must be enabled
by a write to port 061h (see NMI Status and Control ports).
5.7.1
Timer Programming
The counter/timers are programmed in the following fashion:
1. Write a control word to select a counter.
2. Write an initial count for that counter.
3. Load the least and/or most significant bytes (as required by Control Word bits 5, 4)
of the
16-bit counter.
4. Repeat with other counters.
Only two conventions need to be observed when programming the counters. First, for
each counter, the control word must be written before the initial count is written.
Second, the initial count must follow the count format specified in the control word
(least significant byte only, most significant byte only, or least significant byte and then
most significant byte).
A new initial count may be written to a counter at any time without affecting the
counter's programmed mode. Counting is affected as described in the mode definitions.
The new count must follow the programmed count format.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
135
Functional Description
If a counter is programmed to read/write two-byte counts, the following precaution
applies: A program must not transfer control between writing the first and second byte
to another routine which also writes into that same counter. Otherwise, the counter will
be loaded with an incorrect count.
The Control Word Register at port 43h controls the operation of all three counters.
Several commands are available:
• Control Word Command. Specifies which counter to read or write, the operating
mode, and the count format (binary or BCD).
• Counter Latch Command. Latches the current count so that it can be read by the
system. The countdown process continues.
• Read Back Command. Reads the count value, programmed mode, the current
state of the OUT pins, and the state of the Null Count Flag of the selected counter.

Reading from the Interval Timer
It is often desirable to read the value of a counter without disturbing the count in
progress. There are three methods for reading the counters: a simple read operation,
counter Latch command, and the Read-Back command. Each is explained below.
With the simple read and counter latch command methods, the count must be read
according to the programmed format; specifically, if the counter is programmed for two
byte counts, two bytes must be read. The two bytes do not have to be read one right
after the other. Read, write, or programming operations for other counters may be
inserted between them.
5.7.2.1
Simple Read
The first method is to perform a simple read operation. The counter is selected through
port 40h (counter 0), 41h (counter 1), or 42h (counter 2).
Note:
136
Performing a direct read from the counter does not return a determinate value,
because the counting process is asynchronous to read operations. However, in the case
of counter 2, the count can be stopped by writing to the GATE bit in port 61h.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.7.2.2
Counter Latch Command
The Counter Latch command, written to port 43h, latches the count of a specific
counter at the time the command is received. This command is used to ensure that the
count read from the counter is accurate, particularly when reading a two-byte count.
The count value is then read from each counter’s Count register as was programmed by
the Control register.
The count is held in the latch until it is read or the counter is reprogrammed. The count
is then unlatched. This allows reading the contents of the counters on the fly without
affecting counting in progress. Multiple Counter Latch Commands may be used to latch
more than one counter. Counter Latch commands do not affect the programmed mode
of the counter in any way.
If a Counter is latched and then, some time later, latched again before the count is
read, the second Counter Latch command is ignored. The count read is the count at the
time the first Counter Latch command was issued.
5.7.2.3
Read Back Command
The Read Back command, written to port 43h, latches the count value, programmed
mode, and current states of the OUT pin and Null Count flag of the selected counter or
counters. The value of the counter and its status may then be read by I/O access to the
counter address.
The Read Back command may be used to latch multiple counter outputs at one time.
This single command is functionally equivalent to several counter latch commands, one
for each counter latched. Each counter's latched count is held until it is read or
reprogrammed. Once read, a counter is unlatched. The other counters remain latched
until they are read. If multiple count Read Back commands are issued to the same
counter without reading the count, all but the first are ignored.
The Read Back command may additionally be used to latch status information of
selected counters. The status of a counter is accessed by a read from that counter's I/
O port address. If multiple counter status latch operations are performed without
reading the status, all but the first are ignored.
Both count and status of the selected counters may be latched simultaneously. This is
functionally the same as issuing two consecutive, separate Read Back commands. If
multiple count and/or status Read Back commands are issued to the same counters
without any intervening reads, all but the first are ignored.
If both count and status of a counter are latched, the first read operation from that
counter returns the latched status, regardless of which was latched first. The next one
or two reads, depending on whether the counter is programmed for one or two type
counts, returns the latched count. Subsequent reads return unlatched count.

8259 Interrupt Controllers (PIC) (D31:F0)
The ICH9 incorporates the functionality of two 8259 interrupt controllers that provide
system interrupts for the ISA compatible interrupts. These interrupts are: system
timer, keyboard controller, serial ports, parallel ports, floppy disk, mouse, and DMA
channels. In addition, this interrupt controller can support the PCI based interrupts, by
mapping the PCI interrupt onto the compatible ISA interrupt line. Each 8259 core
supports eight interrupts, numbered 0–7. Table 5-13 shows how the cores are
connected.

The ICH9 cascades the slave controller onto the master controller through master
controller interrupt input 2. This means there are only 15 possible interrupts for the
ICH9 PIC.
Interrupts can individually be programmed to be edge or level, except for IRQ0, IRQ2,
IRQ8#, and IRQ13.
Note:
138
Active-low interrupt sources (e.g., the PIRQ#s) are inverted inside the ICH9. In the
following descriptions of the 8259s, the interrupt levels are in reference to the signals
at the internal interface of the 8259s, after the required inversions have occurred.
Therefore, the term “high” indicates “active,” which means “low” on an originating
PIRQ#.

Interrupt Handling
5.8.1.1
Generating Interrupts
The PIC interrupt sequence involves three bits, from the IRR, ISR, and IMR, for each
interrupt level. These bits are used to determine the interrupt vector returned, and
status of any other pending interrupts. Table 5-14 defines the IRR, ISR, and IMR.
Table 5-14. Interrupt Status Registers
5.8.1.2
Bit
Description
IRR
Interrupt Request Register. This bit is set on a low to high transition of the interrupt
line in edge mode, and by an active high level in level mode. This bit is set whether or
not the interrupt is masked. However, a masked interrupt will not generate INTR.
ISR
Interrupt Service Register. This bit is set, and the corresponding IRR bit cleared,
when an interrupt acknowledge cycle is seen, and the vector returned is for that
interrupt.
IMR
Interrupt Mask Register. This bit determines whether an interrupt is masked.
Masked interrupts will not generate INTR.
Acknowledging Interrupts
The processor generates an interrupt acknowledge cycle that is translated by the host
bridge into a PCI Interrupt Acknowledge Cycle to the ICH9. The PIC translates this
command into two internal INTA# pulses expected by the 8259 cores. The PIC uses the
first internal INTA# pulse to freeze the state of the interrupts for priority resolution. On
the second INTA# pulse, the master or slave sends the interrupt vector to the
processor with the acknowledged interrupt code. This code is based upon bits [7:3] of
the corresponding ICW2 register, combined with three bits representing the interrupt
within that controller.

Functional Description
5.8.1.3
Hardware/Software Interrupt Sequence
1. One or more of the Interrupt Request lines (IRQ) are raised high in edge mode, or
seen high in level mode, setting the corresponding IRR bit.
2. The PIC sends INTR active to the processor if an asserted interrupt is not masked.
3. The processor acknowledges the INTR and responds with an interrupt acknowledge
cycle. The cycle is translated into a PCI interrupt acknowledge cycle by the host
bridge. This command is broadcast over PCI by the ICH9.
4. Upon observing its own interrupt acknowledge cycle on PCI, the ICH9 converts it
into the two cycles that the internal 8259 pair can respond to. Each cycle appears
as an interrupt acknowledge pulse on the internal INTA# pin of the cascaded
interrupt controllers.
5. Upon receiving the first internally generated INTA# pulse, the highest priority ISR
bit is set and the corresponding IRR bit is reset. On the trailing edge of the first
pulse, a slave identification code is broadcast by the master to the slave on a
private, internal three bit wide bus. The slave controller uses these bits to
determine if it must respond with an interrupt vector during the second INTA#
pulse.
6. Upon receiving the second internally generated INTA# pulse, the PIC returns the
interrupt vector. If no interrupt request is present because the request was too
short in duration, the PIC returns vector 7 from the master controller.
7. This completes the interrupt cycle. In AEOI mode the ISR bit is reset at the end of
the second INTA# pulse. Otherwise, the ISR bit remains set until an appropriate
EOI command is issued at the end of the interrupt subroutine.
5.8.2
Initialization Command Words (ICWx)
Before operation can begin, each 8259 must be initialized. In the ICH9, this is a four
byte sequence. The four initialization command words are referred to by their
acronyms: ICW1, ICW2, ICW3, and ICW4.
The base address for each 8259 initialization command word is a fixed location in the
I/O memory space: 20h for the master controller, and A0h for the slave controller.
5.8.2.1
ICW1
An I/O write to the master or slave controller base address with data bit 4 equal to 1 is
interpreted as a write to ICW1. Upon sensing this write, the ICH9 PIC expects three
more byte writes to 21h for the master controller, or A1h for the slave controller, to
complete the ICW sequence.
A write to ICW1 starts the initialization sequence during which the following
automatically occur:
1. Following initialization, an interrupt request (IRQ) input must make a low-to-high
transition to generate an interrupt.
2. The Interrupt Mask Register is cleared.
3. IRQ7 input is assigned priority 7.
4. The slave mode address is set to 7.
5. Special mask mode is cleared and Status Read is set to IRR.
140
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.8.2.2
ICW2
The second write in the sequence (ICW2) is programmed to provide bits [7:3] of the
interrupt vector that will be released during an interrupt acknowledge. A different base
is selected for each interrupt controller.
5.8.2.3
ICW3
The third write in the sequence (ICW3) has a different meaning for each controller.
• For the master controller, ICW3 is used to indicate which IRQ input line is used to
cascade the slave controller. Within the ICH9, IRQ2 is used. Therefore, bit 2 of
ICW3 on the master controller is set to a 1, and the other bits are set to 0s.
• For the slave controller, ICW3 is the slave identification code used during an
interrupt acknowledge cycle. On interrupt acknowledge cycles, the master
controller broadcasts a code to the slave controller if the cascaded interrupt won
arbitration on the master controller. The slave controller compares this
identification code to the value stored in its ICW3, and if it matches, the slave
controller assumes responsibility for broadcasting the interrupt vector.
5.8.2.4
ICW4
The final write in the sequence (ICW4) must be programmed for both controllers. At
the very least, bit 0 must be set to a 1 to indicate that the controllers are operating in
an Intel Architecture-based system.
5.8.3
Operation Command Words (OCW)
These command words reprogram the Interrupt controller to operate in various
interrupt modes.
• OCW1 masks and unmasks interrupt lines.
• OCW2 controls the rotation of interrupt priorities when in rotating priority mode,
and controls the EOI function.
• OCW3 sets up ISR/IRR reads, enables/disables the special mask mode (SMM), and
enables/disables polled interrupt mode.
5.8.4
Modes of Operation
5.8.4.1
Fully Nested Mode
In this mode, interrupt requests are ordered in priority from 0 through 7, with 0 being
the highest. When an interrupt is acknowledged, the highest priority request is
determined and its vector placed on the bus. Additionally, the ISR for the interrupt is
set. This ISR bit remains set until: the processor issues an EOI command immediately
before returning from the service routine; or if in AEOI mode, on the trailing edge of
the second INTA#. While the ISR bit is set, all further interrupts of the same or lower
priority are inhibited, while higher levels generate another interrupt. Interrupt priorities
can be changed in the rotating priority mode.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
141
Functional Description
5.8.4.2
Special Fully-Nested Mode
This mode is used in the case of a system where cascading is used, and the priority has
to be conserved within each slave. In this case, the special fully-nested mode is
programmed to the master controller. This mode is similar to the fully-nested mode
with the following exceptions:
• When an interrupt request from a certain slave is in service, this slave is not locked
out from the master's priority logic and further interrupt requests from higher
priority interrupts within the slave are recognized by the master and initiate
interrupts to the processor. In the normal-nested mode, a slave is masked out
when its request is in service.
• When exiting the Interrupt Service routine, software has to check whether the
interrupt serviced was the only one from that slave. This is done by sending a NonSpecific EOI command to the slave and then reading its ISR. If it is 0, a nonspecific EOI can also be sent to the master.
5.8.4.3
Automatic Rotation Mode (Equal Priority Devices)
In some applications, there are a number of interrupting devices of equal priority.
Automatic rotation mode provides for a sequential 8-way rotation. In this mode, a
device receives the lowest priority after being serviced. In the worst case, a device
requesting an interrupt has to wait until each of seven other devices are serviced at
most once.
There are two ways to accomplish automatic rotation using OCW2; the Rotation on
Non-Specific EOI Command (R=1, SL=0, EOI=1) and the rotate in automatic EOI mode
which is set by (R=1, SL=0, EOI=0).
5.8.4.4
Specific Rotation Mode (Specific Priority)
Software can change interrupt priorities by programming the bottom priority. For
example, if IRQ5 is programmed as the bottom priority device, then IRQ6 is the highest
priority device. The Set Priority Command is issued in OCW2 to accomplish this, where:
R=1, SL=1, and LO–L2 is the binary priority level code of the bottom priority device.
In this mode, internal status is updated by software control during OCW2. However, it
is independent of the EOI command. Priority changes can be executed during an EOI
command by using the Rotate on Specific EOI Command in OCW2 (R=1, SL=1, EOI=1
and LO–L2=IRQ level to receive bottom priority.
5.8.4.5
Poll Mode
Poll mode can be used to conserve space in the interrupt vector table. Multiple
interrupts that can be serviced by one interrupt service routine do not need separate
vectors if the service routine uses the poll command. Poll mode can also be used to
expand the number of interrupts. The polling interrupt service routine can call the
appropriate service routine, instead of providing the interrupt vectors in the vector
table. In this mode, the INTR output is not used and the microprocessor internal
Interrupt Enable flip-flop is reset, disabling its interrupt input. Service to devices is
achieved by software using a Poll command.
The Poll command is issued by setting P=1 in OCW3. The PIC treats its next I/O read as
an interrupt acknowledge, sets the appropriate ISR bit if there is a request, and reads
the priority level. Interrupts are frozen from the OCW3 write to the I/O read. The byte
returned during the I/O read contains a 1 in bit 7 if there is an interrupt, and the binary
code of the highest priority level in bits 2:0.
142
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.8.4.6
Cascade Mode
The PIC in the ICH9 has one master 8259 and one slave 8259 cascaded onto the
master through IRQ2. This configuration can handle up to 15 separate priority levels.
The master controls the slaves through a three bit internal bus. In the ICH9, when the
master drives 010b on this bus, the slave controller takes responsibility for returning
the interrupt vector. An EOI command must be issued twice: once for the master and
once for the slave.
5.8.4.7
Edge and Level Triggered Mode
In ISA systems this mode is programmed using bit 3 in ICW1, which sets level or edge
for the entire controller. In the ICH9, this bit is disabled and a new register for edge and
level triggered mode selection, per interrupt input, is included. This is the Edge/Level
control Registers ELCR1 and ELCR2.
If an ELCR bit is 0, an interrupt request will be recognized by a low-to-high transition
on the corresponding IRQ input. The IRQ input can remain high without generating
another interrupt. If an ELCR bit is 1, an interrupt request will be recognized by a high
level on the corresponding IRQ input and there is no need for an edge detection. The
interrupt request must be removed before the EOI command is issued to prevent a
second interrupt from occurring.
In both the edge and level triggered modes, the IRQ inputs must remain active until
after the falling edge of the first internal INTA#. If the IRQ input goes inactive before
this time, a default IRQ7 vector is returned.
5.8.4.8
End of Interrupt (EOI) Operations
An EOI can occur in one of two fashions: by a command word write issued to the PIC
before returning from a service routine, the EOI command; or automatically when AEOI
bit in ICW4 is set to 1.
5.8.4.9
Normal End of Interrupt
In normal EOI, software writes an EOI command before leaving the interrupt service
routine to mark the interrupt as completed. There are two forms of EOI commands:
Specific and
Non-Specific. When a Non-Specific EOI command is issued, the PIC clears the highest
ISR bit of those that are set to 1. Non-Specific EOI is the normal mode of operation of
the PIC within the ICH9, as the interrupt being serviced currently is the interrupt
entered with the interrupt acknowledge. When the PIC is operated in modes that
preserve the fully nested structure, software can determine which ISR bit to clear by
issuing a Specific EOI. An ISR bit that is masked is not cleared by a Non-Specific EOI if
the PIC is in the special mask mode. An EOI command must be issued for both the
master and slave controller.
5.8.4.10
Automatic End of Interrupt Mode
In this mode, the PIC automatically performs a Non-Specific EOI operation at the
trailing edge of the last interrupt acknowledge pulse. From a system standpoint, this
mode should be used only when a nested multi-level interrupt structure is not required
within a single PIC. The AEOI mode can only be used in the master controller and not
the slave controller.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
143
Functional Description
5.8.5
Masking Interrupts
5.8.5.1
Masking on an Individual Interrupt Request
Each interrupt request can be masked individually by the Interrupt Mask Register
(IMR). This register is programmed through OCW1. Each bit in the IMR masks one
interrupt channel. Masking IRQ2 on the master controller masks all requests for service
from the slave controller.
5.8.5.2
Special Mask Mode
Some applications may require an interrupt service routine to dynamically alter the
system priority structure during its execution under software control. For example, the
routine may wish to inhibit lower priority requests for a portion of its execution but
enable some of them for another portion.
The special mask mode enables all interrupts not masked by a bit set in the Mask
register. Normally, when an interrupt service routine acknowledges an interrupt without
issuing an EOI to clear the ISR bit, the interrupt controller inhibits all lower priority
requests. In the special mask mode, any interrupts may be selectively enabled by
loading the Mask Register with the appropriate pattern. The special mask mode is set
by OCW3 where: SSMM=1, SMM=1, and cleared where SSMM=1, SMM=0.
5.8.6
Steering PCI Interrupts
The ICH9 can be programmed to allow PIRQA#-PIRQH# to be routed internally to
interrupts 3–7, 9–12, 14 or 15. The assignment is programmable through the PIRQx
Route Control registers, located at 60–63h and 68–6Bh in Device 31:Function 0. One or
more PIRQx# lines can be routed to the same IRQx input. If interrupt steering is not
required, the Route registers can be programmed to disable steering.
The PIRQx# lines are defined as active low, level sensitive to allow multiple interrupts
on a PCI board to share a single line across the connector. When a PIRQx# is routed to
specified IRQ line, software must change the IRQ's corresponding ELCR bit to level
sensitive mode. The ICH9 internally inverts the PIRQx# line to send an active high level
to the PIC. When a PCI interrupt is routed onto the PIC, the selected IRQ can no longer
be used by an active high device (through SERIRQ). However, active low interrupts can
share their interrupt with PCI interrupts.
Internal sources of the PIRQs, including SCI and TCO interrupts, cause the external
PIRQ to be asserted. The ICH9 receives the PIRQ input, like all of the other external
sources, and routes it accordingly.

Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
(APIC) (D31:F0)
In addition to the standard ISA-compatible PIC described in the previous chapter, the
ICH9 incorporates the APIC. While the standard interrupt controller is intended for use
in a uni-processor system, APIC can be used in either a uni-processor or multiprocessor system.
5.9.1
Interrupt Handling
The I/O APIC handles interrupts very differently than the 8259. Briefly, these
differences are:
• Method of Interrupt Transmission. The I/O APIC transmits interrupts through
memory writes on the normal datapath to the processor, and interrupts are handled
without the need for the processor to run an interrupt acknowledge cycle.
• Interrupt Priority. The priority of interrupts in the I/O APIC is independent of the
interrupt number. For example, interrupt 10 can be given a higher priority than
interrupt 3.
• More Interrupts. The I/O APIC in the ICH9 supports a total of 24 interrupts.
• Multiple Interrupt Controllers. The I/O APIC architecture allows for multiple I/O
APIC devices in the system with their own interrupt vectors.
5.9.2
Interrupt Mapping
The I/O APIC within the ICH9 supports 24 APIC interrupts. Each interrupt has its own
unique vector assigned by software. The interrupt vectors are mapped as follows, and
match “Config 6” of the Multi-Processor Specification.

PIRQ[E:H] are Multiplexed with GPIO pins. Interrupts PIRQ[E:H] will not be exposed if they
are configured as GPIOs.
5.9.3
PCI / PCI Express* Message-Based Interrupts
When external devices through PCI / PCI Express wish to generate an interrupt, they
will send the message defined in the PCI Express* Base Specification, Revision 1.0a for
generating INTA# - INTD#. These will be translated internal assertions/de-assertions of
INTA# - INTD#.
5.9.4
Front Side Bus Interrupt Delivery
For processors that support Front Side Bus (FSB) interrupt delivery, the ICH9 requires
that the I/O APIC deliver interrupt messages to the processor in a parallel manner,
rather than using the I/O APIC serial scheme.
This is done by the ICH9 writing (via DMI) to a memory location that is snooped by the
processor(s). The processor(s) snoop the cycle to know which interrupt goes active.
The following sequence is used:
1. When the ICH9 detects an interrupt event (active edge for edge-triggered mode or
a change for level-triggered mode), it sets or resets the internal IRR bit associated
with that interrupt.
2. Internally, the ICH9 requests to use the bus in a way that automatically flushes
upstream buffers. This can be internally implemented similar to a DMA device
request.
3. The ICH9 then delivers the message by performing a write cycle to the appropriate
address with the appropriate data. The address and data formats are described
below in Section 5.9.4.4.
Note:
146
FSB Interrupt Delivery compatibility with processor clock control depends on the
processor, not the ICH9.

Functional Description
5.9.4.1
Edge-Triggered Operation
In this case, the “Assert Message” is sent when there is an inactive-to-active edge on
the interrupt.
5.9.4.2
Level-Triggered Operation
In this case, the “Assert Message” is sent when there is an inactive-to-active edge on
the interrupt. If after the EOI the interrupt is still active, then another “Assert Message”
is sent to indicate that the interrupt is still active.
5.9.4.3
Registers Associated with Front Side Bus Interrupt Delivery
Capabilities Indication: The capability to support Front Side Bus interrupt delivery is
indicated via ACPI configuration techniques. This involves the BIOS creating a data
structure that gets reported to the ACPI configuration software.
5.9.4.4
Interrupt Message Format
The ICH9 writes the message to PCI (and to the Host controller) as a 32-bit memory
write cycle. It uses the formats shown in Table 5-17 and Table 5-18 for the address and
data.
The local APIC (in the processor) has a delivery mode option to interpret Front Side Bus
messages as a SMI in which case the processor treats the incoming interrupt as a SMI
instead of as an interrupt. This does not mean that the ICH9 has any way to have a SMI
source from ICH9 power management logic cause the I/O APIC to send an SMI
message (there is no way to do this). The ICH9’s I/O APIC can only send interrupts due
to interrupts which do not include SMI, NMI or INIT. This means that in IA-32/Intel® 64
based platforms, Front Side Bus interrupt message format delivery modes 010 (SMI/
PMI), 100 (NMI), and 101 (INIT) as indicated in this section, must not be used and is
not supported. Only the hardware pin connection is supported by ICH9.

IOxAPIC Address Remapping
In order to support Intel® Virtualization Technology, interrupt messages are required to
go through similar address remapping as any other memory request. Address
remapping allows for domain isolation for interrupts, so a device assigned in one
domain is not allowed to generate an interrupt to another domain.
The address remapping is based on the Bus: Device: Function field associated with the
requests. The internal APIC is required to initiate the interrupt message using a unique
Bus: Device: function.
ICH9 allows BIOS to program the unique Bus: Device: Function address for the internal
APIC. This address field does not change the APIC functionality and the APIC is not
promoted as a stand-alone PCI device. See Device 31: Function 0 Offset 6Ch for
additional information.
5.9.6
External Interrupt Controller Support
The ICH9 supports external APICs off of PCI Express ports, and does not support APICs
on the PCI bus. The EOI special cycle is only forwarded to PCI Express ports.
148
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.10
Serial Interrupt (D31:F0)
The ICH9 supports a serial IRQ scheme. This allows a single signal to be used to report
interrupt requests. The signal used to transmit this information is shared between the
host, the ICH9, and all peripherals that support serial interrupts. The signal line,
SERIRQ, is synchronous to PCI clock, and follows the sustained tri-state protocol that is
used by all PCI signals. This means that if a device has driven SERIRQ low, it will first
drive it high synchronous to PCI clock and release it the following PCI clock. The serial
IRQ protocol defines this sustained tri-state signaling in the following fashion:
• S – Sample Phase. Signal driven low
• R – Recovery Phase. Signal driven high
• T – Turn-around Phase. Signal released
The ICH9 supports a message for 21 serial interrupts. These represent the 15 ISA
interrupts (IRQ0–1, 2–15), the four PCI interrupts, and the control signals SMI# and
IOCHK#. The serial IRQ protocol does not support the additional APIC interrupts (20–
23).
Note:
When the SATA controller is configured for legacy IDE mode, IRQ14 and IRQ15 are
expected to behave as ISA legacy interrupts, which cannot be shared, i.e. through the
Serial Interrupt pin. If IRQ14 and IRQ15 are shared with Serial Interrupt pin then
abnormal system behavior may occur. For example, IRQ14/15 may not be detected by
ICH9's interrupt controller. When the SATA controller is not running in Native IDE mode,
IRQ14 and IRQ15 are used as special interrupts. If the SATA controller is in native
modes, these interrupts can be mapped to other devices accordingly.
5.10.1
Start Frame
The serial IRQ protocol has two modes of operation which affect the start frame. These
two modes are: Continuous, where the ICH9 is solely responsible for generating the
start frame; and Quiet, where a serial IRQ peripheral is responsible for beginning the
start frame.
The mode that must first be entered when enabling the serial IRQ protocol is
continuous mode. In this mode, the ICH9 asserts the start frame. This start frame is 4,
6, or 8 PCI clocks wide based upon the Serial IRQ Control Register, bits 1:0 at 64h in
Device 31:Function 0 configuration space. This is a polling mode.
When the serial IRQ stream enters quiet mode (signaled in the Stop Frame), the
SERIRQ line remains inactive and pulled up between the Stop and Start Frame until a
peripheral drives the SERIRQ signal low. The ICH9 senses the line low and continues to
drive it low for the remainder of the Start Frame. Since the first PCI clock of the start
frame was driven by the peripheral in this mode, the ICH9 drives the SERIRQ line low
for 1 PCI clock less than in continuous mode. This mode of operation allows for a quiet,
and therefore lower power, operation.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
149
Functional Description
5.10.2
Data Frames
Once the Start frame has been initiated, all of the SERIRQ peripherals must start
counting frames based on the rising edge of SERIRQ. Each of the IRQ/DATA frames has
exactly 3 phases of 1 clock each:
• Sample Phase. During this phase, the SERIRQ device drives SERIRQ low if the
corresponding interrupt signal is low. If the corresponding interrupt is high, then
the SERIRQ devices tri-state the SERIRQ signal. The SERIRQ line remains high due
to pull-up resistors (there is no internal pull-up resistor on this signal, an external
pull-up resistor is required). A low level during the IRQ0–1 and IRQ2–15 frames
indicates that an active-high ISA interrupt is not being requested, but a low level
during the PCI INT[A:D], SMI#, and IOCHK# frame indicates that an active-low
interrupt is being requested.
• Recovery Phase. During this phase, the device drives the SERIRQ line high if in
the Sample Phase it was driven low. If it was not driven in the sample phase, it is
tri-stated in this phase.
• Turn-around Phase. The device tri-states the SERIRQ line
5.10.3
Stop Frame
After all data frames, a Stop Frame is driven by the ICH9. The SERIRQ signal is driven
low by the ICH9 for 2 or 3 PCI clocks. The number of clocks is determined by the
SERIRQ configuration register. The number of clocks determines the next mode:
Table 5-19. Stop Frame Explanation
Stop Frame Width
5.10.4
Next Mode
2 PCI clocks
Quiet Mode. Any SERIRQ device may initiate a Start Frame
3 PCI clocks
Continuous Mode. Only the host (Intel® ICH9) may initiate a Start
Frame
Specific Interrupts Not Supported via SERIRQ
There are three interrupts seen through the serial stream that are not supported by the
ICH9. These interrupts are generated internally, and are not sharable with other
devices within the system. These interrupts are:
• IRQ0. Heartbeat interrupt generated off of the internal 8254 counter 0.
• IRQ8#. RTC interrupt can only be generated internally.
• IRQ13. Floating point error interrupt generated off of the processor assertion of
FERR#.
The ICH9 ignores the state of these interrupts in the serial stream, and does not adjust
their level based on the level seen in the serial stream.

Functional Description
5.10.5
Data Frame Format
Table 5-20 shows the format of the data frames. For the PCI interrupts (A–D), the
output from the ICH9 is AND’d with the PCI input signal. This way, the interrupt can be
signaled via both the PCI interrupt input signal and via the SERIRQ signal (they are
shared).

Real Time Clock (D31:F0)
The Real Time Clock (RTC) module provides a battery backed-up date and time keeping
device with two banks of static RAM with 128 bytes each, although the first bank has
114 bytes for general purpose usage. Three interrupt features are available: time of
day alarm with once a second to once a month range, periodic rates of 122 µs to
500 ms, and end of update cycle notification. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, day of
week, month, and year are counted. Daylight savings compensation is no longer
supported. The hour is represented in twelve or twenty-four hour format, and data can
be represented in BCD or binary format. The design is functionally compatible with the
Motorola MS146818B. The time keeping comes from a 32.768 kHz oscillating source,
which is divided to achieve an update every second. The lower 14 bytes on the lower
RAM block has very specific functions. The first ten are for time and date information.
The next four (0Ah to 0Dh) are registers, which configure and report RTC functions.
The time and calendar data should match the data mode (BCD or binary) and hour
mode (12 or 24 hour) as selected in register B. It is up to the programmer to make
sure that data stored in these locations is within the reasonable values ranges and
represents a possible date and time. The exception to these ranges is to store a value
of C0–FFh in the Alarm bytes to indicate a don’t care situation. All Alarm conditions
must match to trigger an Alarm Flag, which could trigger an Alarm Interrupt if enabled.
The SET bit must be 1 while programming these locations to avoid clashes with an
update cycle. Access to time and date information is done through the RAM locations. If
a RAM read from the ten time and date bytes is attempted during an update cycle, the
value read do not necessarily represent the true contents of those locations. Any RAM
writes under the same conditions are ignored.
Note:
The leap year determination for adding a 29th day to February does not take into
account the end-of-the-century exceptions. The logic simply assumes that all years
divisible by 4 are leap years. According to the Royal Observatory Greenwich, years that
are divisible by 100 are typically not leap years. In every fourth century (years divisible
by 400, like 2000), the 100-year-exception is over-ridden and a leap-year occurs. Note
that the year 2100 will be the first time in which the current RTC implementation would
incorrectly calculate the leap-year.
The ICH9 does not implement month/year alarms.
5.11.1
Update Cycles
An update cycle occurs once a second, if the SET bit of register B is not asserted and
the divide chain is properly configured. During this procedure, the stored time and date
are incremented, overflow is checked, a matching alarm condition is checked, and the
time and date are rewritten to the RAM locations. The update cycle will start at least
488 µs after the UIP bit of register A is asserted, and the entire cycle does not take
more than 1984 µs to complete. The time and date RAM locations (0–9) are
disconnected from the external bus during this time.
To avoid update and data corruption conditions, external RAM access to these locations
can safely occur at two times. When a updated-ended interrupt is detected, almost 999
ms is available to read and write the valid time and date data. If the UIP bit of Register
A is detected to be low, there is at least 488 µs before the update cycle begins.
Warning:
152
The overflow conditions for leap years adjustments are based on more than one date or
time item. To ensure proper operation when adjusting the time, the new time and data
values should be set at least two seconds before leap year occurs.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.11.2
Interrupts
The real-time clock interrupt is internally routed within the ICH9 both to the I/O APIC
and the 8259. It is mapped to interrupt vector 8. This interrupt does not leave the
ICH9, nor is it shared with any other interrupt. IRQ8# from the SERIRQ stream is
ignored. However, the High Performance Event Timers can also be mapped to IRQ8#;
in this case, the RTC interrupt is blocked.
5.11.3
Lockable RAM Ranges
The RTC’s battery-backed RAM supports two 8-byte ranges that can be locked via the
configuration space. If the locking bits are set, the corresponding range in the RAM will
not be readable or writable. A write cycle to those locations will have no effect. A read
cycle to those locations will not return the location’s actual value (resultant value is
undefined).
Once a range is locked, the range can be unlocked only by a hard reset, which will
invoke the BIOS and allow it to relock the RAM range.
5.11.4
Century Rollover
The ICH9 detects a rollover when the Year byte (RTC I/O space, index offset 09h)
transitions form 99 to 00. Upon detecting the rollover, the ICH9 sets the
NEWCENTURY_STS bit (TCOBASE + 04h, bit 7). If the system is in an S0 state, this
causes an SMI#. The SMI# handler can update registers in the RTC RAM that are
associated with century value. If the system is in a sleep state (S1–S5) when the
century rollover occurs, the ICH9 also sets the NEWCENTURY_STS bit, but no SMI# is
generated. When the system resumes from the sleep state, BIOS should check the
NEWCENTURY_STS bit and update the century value in the RTC RAM.
5.11.5
Clearing Battery-Backed RTC RAM
Clearing CMOS RAM in an ICH9-based platform can be done by using a jumper on
RTCRST# or GPI. Implementations should not attempt to clear CMOS by using a
jumper to pull VccRTC low.
Using RTCRST# to Clear CMOS
A jumper on RTCRST# can be used to clear CMOS values, as well as reset to default,
the state of those configuration bits that reside in the RTC power well. When the
RTCRST# is strapped to ground, the RTC_PWR_STS bit (D31:F0:A4h bit 2) will be set
and those configuration bits in the RTC power well will be set to their default state.
BIOS can monitor the state of this bit, and manually clear the RTC CMOS array once the
system is booted. The normal position would cause RTCRST# to be pulled up through a
weak pull-up resistor. Table 5-21 shows which bits are set to their default state when
RTCRST# is asserted. This RTCRST# jumper technique allows the jumper to be moved
and then replaced—all while the system is powered off. Then, once booted, the
RTC_PWR_STS can be detected in the set state.

Using a GPI to Clear CMOS
A jumper on a GPI can also be used to clear CMOS values. BIOS would detect the
setting of this GPI on system boot-up, and manually clear the CMOS array.
Note:
The GPI strap technique to clear CMOS requires multiple steps to implement. The
system is booted with the jumper in new position, then powered back down. The
jumper is replaced back to the normal position, then the system is rebooted again.
Warning:
Clearing CMOS, using a jumper on VccRTC, must not be implemented.
5.12
Processor Interface (D31:F0)
The ICH9 interfaces to the processor with a variety of signals
• Standard Outputs to processor: A20M#, SMI#, NMI, INIT#, INTR, STPCLK#,
IGNNE#, CPUPWRGD, DPSLP# (Mobile Only)
• Standard Input from processor: FERR#, THRMTRIP#
• Intel SpeedStep® technology output to processor: CPUPWRGD (Mobile Only)
Most ICH9 outputs to the processor use standard buffers. The ICH9 has separate
V_CPU_IO signals that are pulled up at the system level to the processor voltage, and
thus determines VOH for the outputs to the processor.
5.12.1
Processor Interface Signals
This section describes each of the signals that interface between the ICH9 and the
processor(s). Note that the behavior of some signals may vary during processor reset,
as the signals are used for frequency strapping.
5.12.1.1
A20M# (Mask A20)
The A20M# signal is active (low) when both of the following conditions are true:
• The ALT_A20_GATE bit (Bit 1 of PORT92 register) is a 0
• The A20GATE input signal is a 0
The A20GATE input signal is expected to be generated by the external microcontroller
(KBC).
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
155
Functional Description
5.12.1.2
INIT# (Initialization)
The INIT# signal is active (driven low) based on any one of several events described in
Table 5-22. When any of these events occur, INIT# is driven low for 16 PCI clocks, then
driven high.
Note:
The 16-clock counter for INIT# assertion halts while STPCLK# is active. Therefore, if
INIT# is supposed to go active while STPCLK# is asserted, it actually goes active after
STPCLK# goes inactive.
This section refers to INIT#, but applies to two signals: INIT# and INIT3_3V#
(Desktop Only), as INIT3_3V# (Desktop Only) is functionally identical to INIT#, but
signaling at 3.3 V.

PORTCF9 write, where SYS_RST (bit 1) was a 0
and RST_CPU (bit 2) transitions from 0 to 1.
5.12.1.3
RCIN# input signal goes low. RCIN# is expected
to be driven by the external microcontroller
(KBC).
0 to 1 transition on RCIN# must occur
before the Intel® ICH9 will arm INIT# to be
generated again.
NOTE: RCIN# signal is expected to be low
during S3, S4, and S5 states.
Transition on the RCIN# signal in
those states (or the transition to
those states) may not necessarily
cause the INIT# signal to be
generated to the processor.
CPU BIST
To enter BIST, software sets CPU_BIST_EN
bit and then does a full processor reset
using the CF9 register.
FERR#/IGNNE# (Numeric Coprocessor Error/ Ignore Numeric Error)
The ICH9 supports the coprocessor error function with the FERR#/IGNNE# pins. The
function is enabled via the COPROC_ERR_EN bit (Chipset Config Registers:Offset
31FFh:bit 1). FERR# is tied directly to the Coprocessor Error signal of the processor. If
FERR# is driven active by the processor, IRQ13 goes active (internally). When it
detects a write to the COPROC_ERR register (I/O Register F0h), the ICH9 negates the
internal IRQ13 and drives IGNNE# active. IGNNE# remains active until FERR# is driven
inactive. IGNNE# is never driven active unless FERR# is active.

The ICH9 power management logic controls this active-low signal. Refer to
Section 5.13 for more information on the functionality of this signal.
5.12.1.6
CPU Power Good (CPUPWRGD)
This signal is connected to the processor’s PWRGOOD input. This signal represents a
logical AND of the ICH9’s PWROK and VRMPWRGD signals.
5.12.1.7
Deeper Sleep (DPSLP#) (Mobile Only)
This active-low signal controls the internal gating of the processor’s core clock. This
signal asserts before and deasserts after the STP_CPU# signal to effectively stop the
processor’s clock (internally) in the states in which STP_CPU# can be used to stop the
processor’s clock externally.

Dual-Processor Issues (Desktop Only)
5.12.2.1

In dual-processor designs, some of the processor signals are unused or used differently
than for uniprocessor designs.

Also allows for THERM# based throttling (not via ACPI control methods).

FERR# / IGNNE#
Generally not used, but still supported by ICH9.
Power Management
For multiple-processor (or Multiple-core) configurations in which more than one Stop
Grant cycle may be generated, the (G)MCH is expected to count Stop Grant cycles and
only pass the last one through to the ICH9. This prevents the ICH9 from getting out of
sync with the processor on multiple STPCLK# assertions.
Because the S1 state will have the STPCLK# signal active, the STPCLK# signal can be
connected to both processors. However, for ACPI implementations, the BIOS must
indicate that the ICH9 only supports the C1 state for dual-processor designs.
In going to the S1 state for desktop, multiple Stop-Grant cycles will be generated by
the processors. It is assumed that prior to setting the SLP_EN bit (which causes the
transition to the S1 state), the processors will not be executing code that is likely to
delay the Stop-Grant cycles.
In going to the S3, S4, or S5 states, the system will appear to pass through the S1
state; thus, STPCLK# and SLP# are also used. During the S3, S4, and S5 states, both
processors will lose power. Upon exit from those states, the processors will have their
power restored.

Intel® ICH9 and System Power States
Table 5-25 shows the power states defined for ICH9-based platforms. The state names
generally match the corresponding ACPI states.

Functional Description
Table 5-25. General Power States for Systems Using Intel® ICH9
State/
Substates
Legacy Name / Description
G0/S0/C0
Full On: Processor operating. Individual devices may be shut down to save
power. The different processor operating levels are defined by Cx states, as
shown in Table 5-26. Within the C0 state, the Intel® ICH9 can throttle the
processor using the STPCLK# signal to reduce power consumption. The throttling
can be initiated by software or by the operating system or BIOS.
G0/S0/C1
Auto-Halt: Processor has executed an AutoHalt instruction and is not executing
code. The processor snoops the bus and maintains cache coherency.
G0/S0/C2
Stop-Grant: The STPCLK# signal goes active to the processor. The processor
performs a Stop-Grant cycle, halts its instruction stream, and remains in that
state until the STPCLK# signal goes inactive. In the Stop-Grant state, the
processor snoops the bus and maintains cache coherency.
G0/S0/C3
(Mobile
Only)
Stop-Clock: The STPCLK# signal goes active to the processor. The processor
performs a Stop-Grant cycle, halts its instruction stream. ICH9 then asserts
DPSLP# followed by STP_CPU#, which forces the clock generator to stop the
processor clock. This is also used for Intel SpeedStep® technology support.
Accesses to memory (by graphics, PCI, or internal units) is not permitted while in
a C3 state.
G0/S0/C4
(Mobile
Only)
Stop-Clock with Lower Processor Voltage: This closely resembles the G0/
S0/C3 state. However, after the ICH9 has asserted STP_CPU#, it then lowers the
voltage to the processor. This reduces the leakage on the processor. Prior to
exiting the C4 state, the ICH9 increases the voltage to the processor.
G0/S0/C5
(Mobile
Only)
Stop-Clock with Very Low Processor Voltage and Cache Flush: The
processor voltage is dropped to the minimum level needed to maintain the state.
Caches are flushed from the processor to main memory prior to entering C5,
allowing bus master activity while in C5.
G0/S0/C6
(Mobile
Only)
Stop-Clock with Partially Processor Power Down and Cache Flush: C6
includes a cache flush as in C5. The processor saves internal state to RAM
allowing the processor to partially turn off.
Stop-Grant: Similar to G0/S0/C2 state.
G1/S1
160
Note: The behavior for this state is slightly different when supporting Intel® 64
processors.
G1/S3
Suspend-To-RAM (STR): The system context is maintained in system DRAM,
but power is shut off to non-critical circuits. Memory is retained, and refreshes
continue. All clocks stop except RTC clock.
G1/S4
Suspend-To-Disk (STD): The context of the system is maintained on the disk.
All power is then shut off to the system except for the logic required to resume.
G2/S5
Soft Off (SOFF): System context is not maintained. All power is shut off except
for the logic required to restart. A full boot is required when waking.
G3
Mechanical OFF (MOFF): System context not maintained. All power is shut off
except for the RTC. No “Wake” events are possible, because the system does not
have any power. This state occurs if the user removes the batteries, turns off a
mechanical switch, or if the system power supply is at a level that is insufficient
to power the “waking” logic. When system power returns, transition will depend
on the state just prior to the entry to G3 and the AFTERG3 _EN bit in the
GEN_PMCON3 register (D31:F0, offset A4). Refer to Table 5-33 for more details.

Functional Description
Table 5-26 shows the transitions rules among the various states. Note that transitions
among the various states may appear to temporarily transition through intermediate
states. For example, in going from S0 to S1, it may appear to pass through the G0/S0/
C2 states. These intermediate transitions and states are not listed in the table.

System Power Planes
The system has several independent power planes, as described in Table 5-27. Note
that when a particular power plane is shut off, it should go to a 0 V level.

GPIO
When SLP_S3# goes active, power can be shut off to any circuit
not required to wake the system from the S3 state. Since the S3
state requires that the memory context be preserved, power must
be retained to the main memory.
The processor, devices on the PCI bus, LPC I/F, and graphics will
typically be shut off when the Main power plane is shut, although
there may be small subsections powered.
When the SLP_S4# goes active, power can be shut off to any
circuit not required to wake the system from the S4. Since the
memory context does not need to be preserved in the S4 state,
the power to the memory can also be shut down.
When SLP_S5# goes active, power can be shut to any circuit not
required to wake the system from the S5 state. Since the memory
context does not need to be preserved in the S5 state, the power
to the memory can also be shut.
This pin is asserted when the manageability platform goes to MOff.
Depending on the platform, this pin may be used to control the
MCH, ICH controller link power planes, the clock chip power, and
the SPI flash power.
Individual subsystems may have their own power plane. For
example, GPIO signals may be used to control the power to disk
drives, audio amplifiers, or the display screen.
SMI#/SCI Generation
On any SMI# event taking place, ICH9 asserts SMI# to the processor, which causes it
to enter SMM space. SMI# remains active until the EOS bit is set. When the EOS bit is
set, SMI# goes inactive for a minimum of 4 PCI clocks. If another SMI event occurs,
SMI# is driven active again.
The SCI is a level-mode interrupt that is typically handled by an ACPI-aware operating
system. In non-APIC systems (which is the default), the SCI IRQ is routed to one of the
8259 interrupts (IRQ 9, 10, or 11). The 8259 interrupt controller must be programmed
to level mode for that interrupt.
In systems using the APIC, the SCI can be routed to interrupts 9, 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, or
23. The interrupt polarity changes depending on whether it is on an interrupt shareable
with a PIRQ or not (see Section 13.1.3). The interrupt remains asserted until all SCI
sources are removed.
Table 5-28 shows which events can cause an SMI# and SCI. Note that some events can
be programmed to cause either an SMI# or SCI. The usage of the event for SCI
(instead of SMI#) is typically associated with an ACPI-based system. Each SMI# or SCI
source has a corresponding enable and status bit.

Functional Description
5.13.4.1
PCI Express* SCI
PCI Express ports and the (G)MCH (via DMI) have the ability to cause PME using
messages. When a PME message is received, ICH9 will set the PCI_EXP_STS bit. If the
PCI_EXP_EN bit is also set, the ICH9 can cause an SCI via the GPE1_STS register.
5.13.4.2
PCI Express* Hot-Plug
PCI Express has a Hot-Plug mechanism and is capable of generating a SCI via the GPE1
register. It is also capable of generating an SMI. However, it is not capable of
generating a wake event.
5.13.5
Dynamic Processor Clock Control
The ICH9 has extensive control for dynamically starting and stopping system clocks.
The clock control is used for transitions among the various S0/Cx states, and processor
throttling. Each dynamic clock control method is described in this section. The various
sleep states may also perform types of non-dynamic clock control.
The ICH9 supports the ACPI C0, C1 and C2 states (in desktop) or C0, C1, C2, C3, C4,
C5 and C6 (in mobile) states.
The Dynamic Processor Clock control is handled using the following signals:
• STPCLK#: Used to halt processor instruction stream.
• (Mobile Only) STP_CPU#: Used to stop processor’s clock
• (Mobile Only) DPSLP#: Used to force Deeper Sleep for processor.
• (Mobile Only) DPRSLPVR: Used to lower voltage of VRM during C4 state.
• (Mobile Only) DPRSTP#: Used to alert the processor of C4 state. Also works in
conjunction with DPRSLPVR to communicate to the VRM whether a slow or fast
voltage ramp should be used.
The C1 state is entered based on the processor performing an auto halt instruction.
The C2 state is entered based on the processor reading the Level 2 register in the
ICH9.
(Mobile Only) The C2 state can also be entered from C3 or C4 states if bus masters
require snoops and the PUME bit (D31:F0: Offset A9h: bit 3) is set.
(Mobile Only) The C3 state is entered based on the processor reading the Level 3
register in the ICH9 and when the C4onC3_EN bit is clear (D31:F0:Offset A0:bit 7).
This state can also be entered after a temporary return to C2 from a prior C3 or C4
state.
(Mobile Only) The C4 state is entered based on the processor reading the Level 4
register in the ICH9, or by reading the Level 3 register when the C4onC3_EN bit is set.
This state can also be entered after a temporary return to C2 from a prior C4 state.
(Mobile Only) The C5 or C6 state is entered based on the processor reading the Level 5
or Level 6 register in the ICH9 or the processor sending the stop grant message. Note:
The ICH uses the same flow for both C5 and C6 states. The platform must only support
one or the other since the programmable exit timers for C5 and C6 are different, and
the flow uses the same timers for both which are statically configured.
A C1 or C2 state in desktop or a C1, C2, C3, C4, C5 or C6 state in mobile ends due to a
Break event. Based on the break event, the ICH9 returns the system to C0 state.

Note: If the PUME bit (D31:F0: Offset A9h: bit

treated as a break event. Instead, there will be
a return only to the C2 state.
Slow C4 and C5 Exit (Mobile Only)
In order to eliminate the audible noise caused by aggressive voltage ramps when
exiting C4 or C5 states at a regular, periodic frequency, the ICH9 supports a method to
slow down the voltage ramp at the processor VR for certain break events. If enabled for
this behavior, the ICH9 treats IRQ0 and IRQ8 as “slow” break events since both of
these can be the system timer tick interrupt. Rather than carefully tracking the
interrupt and timer configuration information to track the one correct interrupt, it was
deemed acceptable to simplify the logic and slow the break exit sequence for both
interrupts. Other break event sources invoke the normal exit timings.
The ICH9 indicates that a slow voltage ramp is desired by deasserting DPRSTP# (high)
and leaving DPRSLPVR asserted (high). The normal voltage ramp rate is communicated
by deasserting DPRSTP# (high) and deasserting DPRSLPVR (low).
The ICH9 waits an additional delay before starting the normal voltage ramp timer
during the C4 or C5 exit sequence. If a “fast” break event occurs during the additional,
slow-Exit time delay, the ICH9 quickly deasserts DPRSLPVR (low), thereby speeding up
the voltage ramp and reducing the delay to a value that is typically seen by the device
in the past. In the event that a fast break event and a slow break event occur together,
the fast flow is taken.
The ICH9 provides separate enabled for Slow C4 Exit and Slow C5 exit.

Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.13.5.2
Transition Rules among S0/Cx and Throttling States
The following priority rules and assumptions apply among the various S0/Cx and
throttling states:
• Entry to any S0/Cx state is mutually exclusive with entry to any S1–S5 state. This
is because the processor can only perform one register access at a time and Sleep
states have higher priority than thermal throttling.
• When the SLP_EN bit is set (system going to a S1–S5 sleep state), the THTL_EN
and FORCE_THTL bits can be internally treated as being disabled (no throttling
while going to sleep state).
• If the THTL_EN or FORCE_THTL bits are set, and a Level 2, Level 3 or Level 4 read
then occurs, the system should immediately go and stay in a C2, C3 or C4 state
until a break event occurs. A Level 2, Level 3 or Level 4 read has higher priority
than the software initiated throttling. C3 and C4 support is Mobile Only.
• After an exit from a C2, C3 or C4 state (due to a Break event), and if the THTL_EN
or FORCE_THTL bits are still set, the system will continue to throttle STPCLK#.
Depending on the time of break event, the first transition on STPCLK# active can
be delayed by up to one THRM period (1024 PCI clocks = 30.72 µs). C3 and C4
support is Mobile Only.
• The Host controller must post Stop-Grant cycles in such a way that the processor
gets an indication of the end of the special cycle prior to the ICH9 observing the
Stop-Grant cycle. This ensures that the STPCLK# signals stays active for a
sufficient period after the processor observes the response phase.
• If in the C1 state and the STPCLK# signal goes active, the processor will generate a
Stop-Grant cycle, and the system should go to the C2 state. When STPCLK# goes
inactive, it should return to the C1 state.
5.13.5.3
Deferred C3/C4 (Mobile Only)
Due to the new DMI protocol, if there is any bus master activity (other than true
isochronous), then the C0 to C3 transition will pause at the C2 state. ICH9 will keep the
processor in a C2 state until:
• ICH9 sees no bus master activity.
• A break event occurs. In this case, the ICH9 will perform the C2 to C0 sequence.
Note that bus master traffic is not a break event in this case.
To take advantage of the Deferred C3/C4 mode, the BM_STS_ZERO_EN bit must be
set. This will cause the BM_STS bit to read as 0 even if some bus master activity is
present. If this is not done, then the software may avoid even attempting to go to the
C3 or C4 state if it sees the BM_STS bit as 1.
If the PUME bit (D31:F0: Offset A9h: bit 3) is 0, then the ICH9 will treat bus master
activity as a break event. When reaching the C2 state, if there is any bus master
activity, the ICH9 will return the processor to a C0 state.

POPUP (Auto C3/C4 to C2) (Mobile Only)
When the PUME bit (D31:F0: Offset A9h: bit 3) is set, the ICH9 enables a mode of
operation where standard (non-isochronous) bus master activity will not be treated as
a full break event from the C3 or C4 states. Instead, these will be treated merely as
bus master events and return the platform to a C2 state, and thus allow snoops to be
performed.
After returning to the C2 state, the bus master cycles will be sent to the (G)MCH, even
if the ARB_DIS bit is set.

Functional Description
5.13.5.5
POPDOWN (Auto C2 to C3/C4) (Mobile Only)
After returning to the C2 state from C3/C4, it the PDME bit (D31:F0: Offset A9h: bit 4)
is set, the platform can return to a C3 or C4 state (depending on where it was prior to
going back up to C2). This behaves similar to the Deferred C3/C4 transition, and will
keep the processor in a C2 state until:
• Bus masters are no longer active.
• A break event occurs. Note: Bus master traffic is not a break event in this case.
5.13.5.6
C5 and C6 Entry/Exit (Mobile Only)
The ICH9 uses the same flow for both C5 and C6 states. However, the platform must
only support C5 or C6, since the same programmable exit times used are different, and
the timers are shared. The ICH essentially aliases the Level 5 and Level 6 reads
together and the Ack_C5 and Ack_C6 messages together.
C5/C6 Entry:
1. ICH receives Level 5 Read or Level 6 Read from MCH
2. ICH asserts STPCLK#
3. MCH receives Stop Grant message from processor
4. ICH receives Req C2 message from MCH
5. ICH asserts PMSYNC# to MCH
6. ICH receives Ack_C5 or Ack_C6 message from MCH after MCH has switched to No
snoop mode and asserts CPU_SLP. MCH must no send Req_C0 until after it sends
Ack_C5 or Ack_C6.
7. ICH asserts DPSLP#, STPCPU#, DPRSTP# and DPRSLPVR signals in sequence based
on timer values.
5.13.5.7
C5 Exit (Mobile Only)
When the ICH detects a break event after entering C5 due to an internal or external
event, it de-asserts DPRSLPVR, DPRSTP#, STPCPU#, DPSLP#, PMSYNC# and STPCLK#
signals in sequence based on timer values. The ICH does not attempt to abort the C5
entry sequence if a break event is detected while entering C5.
5.13.6
Dynamic PCI Clock Control (Mobile Only)
The PCI clock can be dynamically controlled independent of any other low-power state.
This control is accomplished using the CLKRUN# protocol as described in the PCI Mobile
Design Guide, and is transparent to software.
The Dynamic PCI Clock control is handled using the following signals:
• CLKRUN#: Used by PCI and LPC peripherals to request the system PCI clock to run
• STP_PCI#: Used to stop the system PCI clock
Note:
168
The 33 MHz clock to the ICH9 is “free-running” and is not affected by the STP_PCI#
signal.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.13.6.1
Conditions for Checking the PCI Clock
When there is a lack of PCI activity the ICH9 has the capability to stop the PCI clocks to
conserve power. “PCI activity” is defined as any activity that would require the PCI
clock to be running.
Any of the following conditions will indicate that it is not okay to stop the PCI clock:
• Cycles on PCI or LPC
• Cycles of any internal device that would need to go on the PCI bus
• SERIRQ activity
Behavioral Description
• When there is a lack of activity (as defined above) for 29 PCI clocks, the ICH9
deasserts (drive high) CLKRUN# for 1 clock and then tri-states the signal.
5.13.6.2
Conditions for Maintaining the PCI Clock
PCI masters or LPC devices that wish to maintain the PCI clock running will observe the
CLKRUN# signal deasserted, and then must re-assert if (drive it low) within 3 clocks.
• When the ICH9 has tri-stated the CLKRUN# signal after deasserting it, the ICH9
then checks to see if the signal has been re-asserted (externally).
• After observing the CLKRUN# signal asserted for 1 clock, the ICH9 again starts
asserting the signal.
• If an internal device needs the PCI bus, the ICH9 asserts the CLKRUN# signal.
5.13.6.3
Conditions for Stopping the PCI Clock
• If no device re-asserts CLKRUN# once it has been deasserted for at least 6 clocks,
the ICH9 stops the PCI clock by asserting the STP_PCI# signal to the clock
synthesizer.
5.13.6.4
Conditions for Re-Starting the PCI Clock
• A peripheral asserts CLKRUN# to indicate that it needs the PCI clock re-started.
• When the ICH9 observes the CLKRUN# signal asserted for 1 (free running) clock,
the ICH9 deasserts the STP_PCI# signal to the clock synthesizer within 4 (free
running) clocks.
• Observing the CLKRUN# signal asserted externally for 1 (free running) clock, the
ICH9 again starts driving CLKRUN# asserted.
If an internal source requests the clock to be re-started, the ICH9 re-asserts CLKRUN#,
and simultaneously deasserts the STP_PCI# signal.
5.13.6.5
LPC Devices and CLKRUN#
If an LPC device (of any type) needs the 33 MHz PCI clock, such as for LPC DMA or LPC
serial interrupt, then it can assert CLKRUN#. Note that LPC devices running DMA or bus
master cycles will not need to assert CLKRUN#, since the ICH9 asserts it on their
behalf.
The LDRQ# inputs are ignored by the ICH9 when the PCI clock is stopped to the LPC
devices in order to avoid misinterpreting the request. The ICH9 assumes that only one
more rising PCI clock edge occurs at the LPC device after the assertion of STP_PCI#.
Upon deassertion of STP_PCI#, the ICH9 assumes that the LPC device receives its first
clock rising edge corresponding to the ICH9’s second PCI clock rising edge after the
deassertion.

5.13.7
Sleep States
5.13.7.1
Sleep State Overview
The ICH9 directly supports different sleep states (S1–S5), which are entered by setting
the SLP_EN bit, or due to a Power Button press. The entry to the Sleep states is based
on several assumptions:
• Entry to a Cx state is mutually exclusive with entry to a Sleep state. This is because
the processor can only perform one register access at a time. A request to Sleep
always has higher priority than throttling.
• Prior to setting the SLP_EN bit, the software turns off processor-controlled
throttling. Note that thermal throttling cannot be disabled, but setting the SLP_EN
bit disables thermal throttling (since S1–S5 sleep state has higher priority).
• The G3 state cannot be entered via any software mechanism. The G3 state
indicates a complete loss of power.
5.13.7.2
Initiating Sleep State
Sleep states (S1–S5) are initiated by:
• Masking interrupts, turning off all bus master enable bits, setting the desired type
in the SLP_TYP field, and then setting the SLP_EN bit. The hardware then attempts
to gracefully put the system into the corresponding Sleep state.
• Pressing the PWRBTN# Signal for more than 4 seconds to cause a Power Button
Override event. In this case the transition to the S5 state is less graceful, since
there are no dependencies on observing Stop-Grant cycles from the processor or
on clocks other than the RTC clock
• Assertion of the THRMTRIP# signal will cause a transition to the S5 state. This can
occur when system is in S0 or S1 state.

Comment
®
S1
Intel ICH9 asserts the STPCLK# signal. This lowers the processor’s power
consumption. No snooping is possible in this state.
S3
ICH9 asserts SLP_S3#. The SLP_S3# signal controls the power to non-critical
circuits. Power is only retained to devices needed to wake from this sleeping
state, as well as to the memory.
S4
ICH9 asserts SLP_S3# and SLP_S4#. The SLP_S4# signal shuts off the power to
the memory subsystem. Only devices needed to wake from this state should be
powered.
S5
Same power state as S4. ICH9 asserts SLP_S3#, SLP_S4# and SLP_S5#.
Exiting Sleep States
Sleep states (S1–S5) are exited based on Wake events. The Wake events forces the
system to a full on state (S0), although some non-critical subsystems might still be
shut off and have to be brought back manually. For example, the hard disk may be shut
off during a sleep state, and have to be enabled via a GPIO pin before it can be used.
Upon exit from the ICH9-controlled Sleep states, the WAK_STS bit is set. The possible
causes of Wake Events (and their restrictions) are shown in Table 5-31.
Note:
170
(Mobile Only) If the BATLOW# signal is asserted, ICH9 does not attempt to wake from
an S1–S5 state, even if the power button is pressed. This prevents the system from
waking when the battery power is insufficient to wake the system. Wake events that
occur while BATLOW# is asserted are latched by the ICH9, and the system wakes after
BATLOW# is deasserted.

Functional Description
It is important to understand that the various GPIs have different levels of functionality
when used as wake events. The GPIs that reside in the core power well can only
generate wake events from sleep states where the core well is powered. Also, only
certain GPIs are “ACPI Compliant,” meaning that their Status and Enable bits reside in
ACPI I/O space. Table 5-32 summarizes the use of GPIs as wake events.

The latency to exit the various Sleep states varies greatly and is heavily dependent on
power supply design, so much so that the exit latencies due to the ICH9 are
insignificant.
5.13.7.4
PCI Express* WAKE# Signal and PME Event Message
PCI Express ports can wake the platform from any sleep state (S1, S3, S4, or S5) using
the WAKE# pin. WAKE# is treated as a wake event, but does not cause any bits to go
active in the GPE_STS register.
PCI Express ports and the (G)MCH (via DMI) have the ability to cause PME using
messages. When a PME message is received, ICH9 will set the PCI_EXP_STS bit.
5.13.7.5
Sx-G3-Sx, Handling Power Failures
Depending on when the power failure occurs and how the system is designed, different
transitions could occur due to a power failure.
The AFTER_G3 bit provides the ability to program whether or not the system should
boot once power returns after a power loss event. If the policy is to not boot, the
system remains in an S5 state (unless previously in S4). There are only three possible
events that will wake the system after a power failure.
1. PWRBTN#: PWRBTN# is always enabled as a wake event. When RSMRST# is low
(G3 state), the PWRBTN_STS bit is reset. When the ICH9 exits G3 after power
returns (RSMRST# goes high), the PWRBTN# signal is already high (because VCCstandby goes high before RSMRST# goes high) and the PWRBTN_STS bit is 0.
2. RI#: RI# does not have an internal pull-up. Therefore, if this signal is enabled as a
wake event, it is important to keep this signal powered during the power loss
event. If this signal goes low (active), when power returns the RI_STS bit is set and
the system interprets that as a wake event.
3. RTC Alarm: The RTC_EN bit is in the RTC well and is preserved after a power loss.
Like PWRBTN_STS the RTC_STS bit is cleared when RSMRST# goes low.
The ICH9 monitors both PWROK and RSMRST# to detect for power failures. If PWROK
goes low, the PWROK_FLR bit is set. If RSMRST# goes low, PWR_FLR is set.
Note:
172
Although PME_EN is in the RTC well, this signal cannot wake the system after a power
loss. PME_EN is cleared by RTCRST#, and PME_STS is cleared by RSMRST#.

Thermal Management
The ICH9 has mechanisms to assist with managing thermal problems in the system.
5.13.8.1
THRM# Signal
The THRM# signal is used as a status input for a thermal sensor. Based on the THRM#
signal going active, the ICH9 generates an SMI# or SCI (depending on SCI_EN).
If the THRM_POL bit is set low, when the THRM# signal goes low, the THRM_STS bit
will be set. This is an indicator that the thermal threshold has been exceeded. If the
THRM_EN bit is set, then when THRM_STS goes active, either an SMI# or SCI will be
generated (depending on the SCI_EN bit being set).
The power management software (BIOS or ACPI) can then take measures to start
reducing the temperature. Examples include shutting off unwanted subsystems, or
halting the processor.
By setting the THRM_POL bit to high, another SMI# or SCI can optionally be generated
when the THRM# signal goes back high. This allows the software (BIOS or ACPI) to
turn off the cooling methods.
Note:
THRM# assertion does not cause a TCO event message in S3 or S4. The level of the
signal is not reported in the heartbeat message.
5.13.8.2
Software Initiated Passive Cooling
This mode is initiated by software setting the THTL_EN or FORCE_THTL bits.
Software sets the THTL_DTY or THRM_DTY bits to select throttle ratio and THTL_EN or
FORCE_THTL bit to enable the throttling.
Throttling results in STPCLK# active for a minimum time of 12.5% and a maximum of
87.5%. The period is 1024 PCI clocks. Thus, the STPCLK# signal can be active for as
little as 128 PCI clocks or as much as 896 PCI clocks. The actual slowdown (and
cooling) of the processor depends on the instruction stream, because the processor is
allowed to finish the current instruction. Furthermore, the ICH9 waits for the STOPGRANT cycle before starting the count of the time the STPCLK# signal is active.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
173
Functional Description
5.13.8.3
THRM# Override Software Bit
The FORCE_THTL bit allows the BIOS to force passive cooling, independent of the ACPI
software (which uses the THTL_EN and THTL_DTY bits). If this bit is set, the ICH9
starts throttling using the ratio in the THRM_DTY field.
When this bit is cleared the ICH9 stops throttling, unless the THTL_EN bit is set
(indicating that ACPI software is attempting throttling).
If both the THTL_EN and FORCE_THTL bits are set, then the ICH should use the duty
cycle defined by the THRM_DTY field, not the THTL_DTY field.
5.13.8.4
Active Cooling
Active cooling involves fans. The GPIO signals from the ICH9 can be used to turn on/off
a fan.
5.13.9
Event Input Signals and Their Usage
The ICH9 has various input signals that trigger specific events. This section describes
those signals and how they should be used.
5.13.9.1
PWRBTN# (Power Button)
The ICH9 PWRBTN# signal operates as a “Fixed Power Button” as described in the
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, Version 2.0b. PWRBTN# signal has a 16
ms de-bounce on the input. The state transition descriptions are included in Table 5-34.
Note that the transitions start as soon as the PWRBTN# is pressed (but after the
debounce logic), and does not depend on when the Power Button is released.
Note:
During the time that the SLP_S4# signal is stretched for the minimum assertion width
(if enabled), the Power Button is not a wake event. Refer to Power Button Override
Function section below for further detail.

Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
Power Button Override Function
If PWRBTN# is observed active for at least four consecutive seconds, the state machine
unconditionally transitions to the G2/S5 state, regardless of present state (S0–S4),
even if PWROK is not active. In this case, the transition to the G2/S5 state does not
depend on any particular response from the processor (e.g., a Stop-Grant cycle), nor
any similar dependency from any other subsystem.
The PWRBTN# status is readable to check if the button is currently being pressed or
has been released. The status is taken after the de-bounce, and is readable via the
PWRBTN_LVL bit.
Note:
The 4-second PWRBTN# assertion should only be used if a system lock-up has
occurred. The
4-second timer starts counting when the ICH9 is in a S0 state. If the PWRBTN# signal
is asserted and held active when the system is in a suspend state (S1–S5), the
assertion causes a wake event. Once the system has resumed to the S0 state, the 4second timer starts.
Note:
During the time that the SLP_S4# signal is stretched for the minimum assertion width
(if enabled by D31:F0:A4h bit 3), the Power Button is not a wake event. As a result, it
is conceivable that the user will press and continue to hold the Power Button waiting for
the system to awake. Since a 4-second press of the Power Button is already defined as
an Unconditional Power down, the power button timer will be forced to inactive while
the power-cycle timer is in progress. Once the power-cycle timer has expired, the
Power Button awakes the system. Once the minimum SLP_S4# power cycle expires,
the Power Button must be pressed for another 4 to 5 seconds to create the Override
condition to S5.
Sleep Button
The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, Version 2.0b defines an optional
Sleep button. It differs from the power button in that it only is a request to go from S0
to S1–S4 (not S5). Also, in an S5 state, the Power Button can wake the system, but the
Sleep Button cannot.
Although the ICH9 does not include a specific signal designated as a Sleep Button, one
of the GPIO signals can be used to create a “Control Method” Sleep Button. See the
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, Version 2.0b for implementation details.
5.13.9.2
RI# (Ring Indicator)
The Ring Indicator can cause a wake event (if enabled) from the S1–S5 states.
Table 5-35 shows when the wake event is generated or ignored in different states. If in
the G0/S0/Cx states, the ICH9 generates an interrupt based on RI# active, and the
interrupt will be set up as a Break event.

Functional Description
5.13.9.3
PME# (PCI Power Management Event)
The PME# signal comes from a PCI device to request that the system be restarted. The
PME# signal can generate an SMI#, SCI, or optionally a Wake event. The event occurs
when the PME# signal goes from high to low. No event is caused when it goes from low
to high.
There is also an internal PME_B0 bit. This is separate from the external PME# signal
and can cause the same effect.
5.13.9.4
SYS_RESET# Signal
When the SYS_RESET# pin is detected as active after the 16 ms debounce logic, the
ICH9 attempts to perform a “graceful” reset, by waiting up to 25 ms for the SMBus to
go idle. If the SMBus is idle when the pin is detected active, the reset occurs
immediately; otherwise, the counter starts. If at any point during the count the SMBus
goes idle the reset occurs. If, however, the counter expires and the SMBus is still active,
a reset is forced upon the system even though activity is still occurring.
Once the reset is asserted, it remains asserted for 5 to 6 ms regardless of whether the
SYSRESET# input remains asserted or not. It cannot occur again until SYS_RESET#
has been detected inactive after the debounce logic, and the system is back to a full S0
state with PLTRST# inactive. Note that if bit 3 of the CF9h I/O register is set then
SYS_RESET# will result in a full power cycle reset.
5.13.9.5
THRMTRIP# Signal
If THRMTRIP# goes active, the processor is indicating an overheat condition, and the
ICH9 immediately transitions to an S5 state. However, since the processor has
overheated, it does not respond to the ICH9’s STPCLK# pin with a stop grant special
cycle. Therefore, the ICH9 does not wait for one. Immediately upon seeing THRMTRIP#
low, the ICH9 initiates a transition to the S5 state, drive SLP_S3#, SLP_S4#, SLP_S5#
low, and set the CTS bit. The transition looks like a power button override.
When a THRMTRIP# event occurs, the ICH9 will power down immediately without
following the normal S0 -> S5 path. The ICH9 will immediately drive SLP_S3#,
SLP_S4#, and SLP_S5# low after sampling THRMTRIP# active.
If the processor is running extremely hot and is heating up, it is possible (although very
unlikely) that components around it, such as the ICH9, are no longer executing cycles
properly. Therefore, if THRMTRIP# goes active, and the ICH9 is relying on state
machine logic to perform the power down, the state machine may not be working, and
the system will not power down.
The ICH provides filtering for short low glitches on the THRMTRIP# signal in order to
prevent erroneous system shut downs from noise. Glitches shorter than 25nsec are
ignored.
During boot, THRMTRIP# is ignored until SLP_S3#, PWROK, VRMPWRGD/VGATE, and
PLTRST# are all ‘1’. During entry into a powered-down state (due to S3, S4, S5 entry,
power cycle reset, etc.) THRMTRIP# is ignored until either SLP_S3# = 0, or PWROK =
0, or VRMPWRGD/VGATE = 0.

ALT Access Mode
Before entering a low power state, several registers from powered down parts may
need to be saved. In the majority of cases, this is not an issue, as registers have read
and write paths. However, several of the ISA compatible registers are either read only
or write only. To get data out of
write-only registers, and to restore data into read-only registers, the ICH9 implements
an ALT access mode.
If the ALT access mode is entered and exited after reading the registers of the ICH9
timer (8254), the timer starts counting faster (13.5 ms). The following steps listed
below can cause problems:
1. BIOS enters ALT access mode for reading the ICH9 timer related registers.
2. BIOS exits ALT access mode.
3. BIOS continues through the execution of other needed steps and passes control to
the operating system.
After getting control in step #3, if the operating system does not reprogram the system
timer again, the timer ticks may be happening faster than expected. For example DOS
and its associated software assume that the system timer is running at 54.6 ms and as
a result the time-outs in the software may be happening faster than expected.
Operating systems (e.g., Microsoft Windows* 98, Windows* 2000, and Windows NT*)
reprogram the system timer and therefore do not encounter this problem.
For some other loss (e.g., Microsoft MS-DOS*) the BIOS should restore the timer back
to 54.6 ms before passing control to the operating system. If the BIOS is entering ALT
access mode before entering the suspend state it is not necessary to restore the timer
contents after the exit from ALT access mode.

Read Only Registers with Write Paths in ALT Access Mode
The registers described in Table 5-38 have write paths to them in ALT access mode.
Software restores these values after returning from a powered down state. These
registers must be handled special by software. When in normal mode, writing to the
base address/count register also writes to the current address/count register.
Therefore, the base address/count must be written first, then the part is put into ALT
access mode and the current address/count register is written.

System Power Supplies, Planes, and Signals
5.13.11.1
Power Plane Control with SLP_S3#, SLP_S4#, SLP_S5# and SLP_M#
The SLP_S3# output signal can be used to cut power to the system core supply, since it
only goes active for the Suspend-to-RAM state (typically mapped to ACPI S3). Power
must be maintained to the ICH9 suspend well, and to any other circuits that need to
generate Wake signals from the Suspend-to-RAM state. During S3 (Suspend-to-RAM)
all signals attached to powered down plans will be tri-stated or driven low, unless they
are pulled via a pull-up resistor.
Cutting power to the core may be done via the power supply, or by external FETs on the
motherboard.
The SLP_S4# or SLP_S5# output signal can be used to cut power to the system core
supply, as well as power to the system memory, since the context of the system is
saved on the disk. Cutting power to the memory may be done via the power supply, or
by external FETs on the motherboard.
The SLP_S4# output signal is used to remove power to additional subsystems that are
powered during SLP_S3#.
SLP_S5# output signal can be used to cut power to the system core supply, as well as
power to the system memory, since the context of the system is saved on the disk.
Cutting power to the memory may be done via the power supply, or by external FETs
on the motherboard.
SLP_M# output signal can be used to cut power to the Controller Link, Clock chip and
SPI flash on a platform that supports Intel® AMT (Digital Office only) or ASF.
5.13.11.2
SLP_S4# and Suspend-To-RAM Sequencing
The system memory suspend voltage regulator is controlled by the Glue logic. The
SLP_S4# signal should be used to remove power to system memory rather than the
SLP_S5# signal. The SLP_S4# logic in the ICH9 provides a mechanism to fully cycle
the power to the DRAM and/or detect if the power is not cycled for a minimum time.
Note:
To utilize the minimum DRAM power-down feature that is enabled by the SLP_S4#
Assertion Stretch Enable bit (D31:F0:A4h bit 3), the DRAM power must be controlled
by the SLP_S4# signal.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet

Functional Description
5.13.11.3
PWROK Signal
The PWROK input should go active no sooner than 99 ms after the core supply voltages
becoming valid. PWROK must not glitch, even if RSMRST# is low.
Note:
1. SYSRESET# is recommended for implementing the system reset button. This saves
external logic that is needed if the PWROK input is used. Additionally, it allows for
better handling of the SMBus and processor resets, and avoids improperly
reporting power failures.
2. PWROK and RSMRST# are sampled using the RTC clock. Therefore, low times that
are less than one RTC clock period may not be detected by the ICH9.
3. In the case of true PWROK failure, PWROK will go low before VRMPWRGD.
4. When PWROK goes inactive, a host power cycle reset will occur. A host power cycle
is the assertion of SLP_S3#, SLP_S4#, and SLP_S5#, and the deassertion of these
signals 3-5 seconds later. The Management Engine remains powered throughout
this cycle.
5.13.11.4
CPUPWRGD Signal
This signal is connected to the processor’s VRM via the VRMPWRGD signal and is
internally AND’d with the PWROK signal that comes from the system power supply.
5.13.11.5
VRMPWRGD Signal
VRMPWRGD is an input from the regulator indicating that all of the outputs from the
regulator are on and within specification. Platforms that use the VRMPWRGD signal to
start the clock chip PLLs assume that it asserts milliseconds before PWROK in order to
provide valid clocks in time for the PWROK rising.
Note:
When VRMPWRGD goes inactive, a host power cycle reset will occur. A host power cycle
is the assertion of SLP_S3#, SLP_S4#, and SLP_S5#, and the deassertion of these
signals 3-5 seconds later. The Management Engine remains powered throughout this
cycle.
5.13.11.6
BATLOW# (Battery Low) (Mobile Only)
The BATLOW# input can inhibit waking from S3, S4, and S5 states if there is not
sufficient power. It also causes an SMI# if the system is already in an S0 state.

Functional Description
5.13.13
Legacy Power Management Theory of Operation
Instead of relying on ACPI software, legacy power management uses BIOS and various
hardware mechanisms. The scheme relies on the concept of detecting when individual
subsystems are idle, detecting when the whole system is idle, and detecting when
accesses are attempted to idle subsystems.
However, the operating system is assumed to be at least APM enabled. Without APM
calls, there is no quick way to know when the system is idle between keystrokes. The
ICH9 does not support burst modes.
5.13.13.1
APM Power Management (Desktop Only)
The ICH9 has a timer that, when enabled by the 1MIN_EN bit in the SMI Control and
Enable register, generates an SMI# once per minute. The SMI handler can check for
system activity by reading the DEVACT_STS register. If none of the system bits are set,
the SMI handler can increment a software counter. When the counter reaches a
sufficient number of consecutive minutes with no activity, the SMI handler can then put
the system into a lower power state.
If there is activity, various bits in the DEVACT_STS register will be set. Software clears
the bits by writing a 1 to the bit position.
The DEVACT_STS register allows for monitoring various internal devices, or Super I/O
devices (SP, PP, FDC) on LPC or PCI, keyboard controller accesses, or audio functions
on LPC or PCI. Other PCI activity can be monitored by checking the PCI interrupts.
5.13.13.2
Mobile APM Power Management (Mobile Only)
In mobile systems, there are additional requirements associated with device power
management. To handle this, the ICH9 has specific SMI# traps available. The following
algorithm is used:
1. The periodic SMI# timer checks if a device is idle for the require time. If so, it puts
the device into a low-power state and sets the associated SMI# trap.
2. When software (not the SMI# handler) attempts to access the device, a trap occurs
(the cycle does not really go to the device and an SMI# is generated).
3. The SMI# handler turns on the device and turns off the trap.
The SMI# handler exits with an I/O restart. This allows the original software to
continue.
5.13.14
Reset Behavior
When a reset is triggered, the ICH will send a warning message to the MCH to allow the
MCH to attempt to complete any outstanding memory cycles and put memory into a
safe state before the platform is reset. When the MCH is ready, it will send an
acknowledge message to the ICH. Once the message is received the ICH asserts
PLTRST#.
The ICH does not require an acknowledge message from the MCH to trigger PLTRST#.
A global reset will occur after 4 seconds if an acknowledge from the MCH is not
received.
Note:
184
When the ICH causes a reset by asserting PLTRST# its output signals will go to their
reset states as defined in Chapter 3.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
A reset in which the host platform is reset and PLTRST# is asserted is called a Host
Reset or Host Partition Reset. Depending on the trigger a host reset may also result in
power cycling see Table 5-40 for details. If a host reset is triggered and the ICH times
out before receiving an acknowledge message from the MCH a Global Reset with power
cycle will occur. A reset in which the host and ME partitions of the platform are reset is
called a Global Reset.

System Management (D31:F0)
The ICH9 provides various functions to make a system easier to manage and to lower
the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the system. In addition, ICH9 provides integrated
ASF Management support, requires use of SPI Flash and Management Engine firmware.
Features and functions can be augmented via external A/D converters and GPIO, as
well as an external microcontroller.
The following features and functions are supported by the ICH9:
• Processor present detection
— Detects if processor fails to fetch the first instruction after reset
• Various Error detection (such as ECC Errors) indicated by host controller
— Can generate SMI#, SCI, SERR, NMI, or TCO interrupt
• Intruder Detect input
— Can generate TCO interrupt or SMI# when the system cover is removed
— INTRUDER# allowed to go active in any power state, including G3
• Detection of bad BIOS Flash (FWH or Flash on SPI) programming
— Detects if data on first read is FFh (indicates that BIOS flash is not
programmed)
• Ability to hide a PCI device
— Allows software to hide a PCI device in terms of configuration space through
the use of a device hide register (See Section 10.1.75)
Note:
Voltage ID from the processor can be read via GPI signals. ASF functionality with the
integrated ICH9 ASF controller requires a correctly configured system, including an
appropriate component of the ICH9 (see Section 1.3), (G)MCH with Management
Engine, Management Engine Firmware, system BIOS support, and appropriate Platform
LAN Connect Device.
5.14.1
Theory of Operation
The System Management functions are designed to allow the system to diagnose failing
subsystems. The intent of this logic is that some of the system management
functionality can be provided without the aid of an external microcontroller.
5.14.1.1
Detecting a System Lockup
When the processor is reset, it is expected to fetch its first instruction. If the processor
fails to fetch the first instruction after reset, the TCO timer times out twice and the
ICH9 asserts PLTRST#.
5.14.1.2
Handling an Intruder
The ICH9 has an input signal, INTRUDER#, that can be attached to a switch that is
activated by the system’s case being open. This input has a two RTC clock debounce. If
INTRUDER# goes active (after the debouncer), this will set the INTRD_DET bit in the
TCO_STS register. The INTRD_SEL bits in the TCO_CNT register can enable the ICH9 to
cause an SMI# or interrupt. The BIOS or interrupt handler can then cause a transition
to the S5 state by writing to the SLP_EN bit.
The software can also directly read the status of the INTRUDER# signal (high or low) by
clearing and then reading the INTRD_DET bit. This allows the signal to be used as a GPI
if the intruder function is not required.
186
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
If the INTRUDER# signal goes inactive some point after the INTRD_DET bit is written
as a 1, then the INTRD_DET signal will go to a 0 when INTRUDER# input signal goes
inactive. Note that this is slightly different than a classic sticky bit, since most sticky
bits would remain active indefinitely when the signal goes active and would
immediately go inactive when a 1 is written to the bit.
Note:
The INTRD_DET bit resides in the ICH9’s RTC well, and is set and cleared
synchronously with the RTC clock. Thus, when software attempts to clear INTRD_DET
(by writing a 1 to the bit location) there may be as much as two RTC clocks (about 65
µs) delay before the bit is actually cleared. Also, the INTRUDER# signal should be
asserted for a minimum of 1 ms to ensure that the INTRD_DET bit will be set.
Note:
If the INTRUDER# signal is still active when software attempts to clear the INTRD_DET
bit, the bit remains set and the SMI is generated again immediately. The SMI handler
can clear the INTRD_SEL bits to avoid further SMIs. However, if the INTRUDER# signal
goes inactive and then active again, there will not be further SMIs, since the
INTRD_SEL bits would select that no SMI# be generated.
5.14.1.3
Detecting Improper Firmware Hub Programming
The ICH9 can detect the case where the BIOS flash is not programmed. This results in
the first instruction fetched to have a value of FFh. If this occurs, the ICH9 sets the
BAD_BIOS bit. The BIOS flash may reside in FWH or flash on the SPI bus.
5.14.1.4
Heartbeat and Event Reporting via SMLink/SMBus
Heartbeat and event reporting via SMLink/SMBus is no longer supported. The AMT logic
in ICH9 (Digital Office Only) can be programmed to generate an interrupt to the
Management Engine when an event occurs. The Management Engine will poll the TCO
registers to gather appropriate bits to send the event message to the Gigabit Ethernet
controller, if Management Engine is programmed to do so.
The Management Engine is responsible for sending ASF 2.0 messages if programmed to
do so.
In Advanced TCO BMC mode, the external micro-controller (BMC) accesses the TCO
info through SMBus.
5.14.2
TCO Modes
5.14.2.1
TCO Legacy/Compatible Mode
In TCO Legacy/Compatible mode the Intel Management Engine and Intel AMT logic
(Digital Office only) and AMT SMBus controllers are disabled. To enable Legacy/
Compatible TCO mode the TCOMODE bit 7 in the ICHSTRP0 register in the SPI device
must be 0.
Note:
SMBus and SMLink may be tied together externally, if a device has a single SMBus
interface and needs access to the TCO slave and be visisble to the host SMBus
controller.

General Purpose I/O (D31:F0)
The ICH9 contains up to 61 General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) signals. Each GPIO
can be configured as an input or output signal. The number of inputs and outputs
varies depending on ICH9 configuration.
5.15.1
Power Wells
Some GPIOs exist in the suspend power plane. Care must be taken to make sure GPIO
signals are not driven high into powered-down planes. Some ICH9 GPIOs may be
connected to pins on devices that exist in the core well. If these GPIOs are outputs,
there is a danger that a loss of core power (PWROK low) or a Power Button Override
event results in the ICH9 driving a pin to a logic 1 to another device that is powered
down.
5.15.2
SMI# and SCI Routing
The routing bits for GPIO[0:15] allow an input to be routed to SMI# or SCI, or neither.
Note that a bit can be routed to either an SMI# or an SCI, but not both.
190
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.15.3
Triggering
GPIO[1:15] have “sticky” bits on the input. Refer to the GPE0_STS register. As long as
the signal goes active for at least 2 clock cycles, the ICH9 keeps the sticky status bit
active. The active level can be selected in the GP_LVL register. If the system is in an S0
or an S1 state, the GPI inputs are sampled at 33 MHz, so the signal only needs to be
active for about 60 ns to be latched. In the S3–S5 states, the GPI inputs are sampled at
32.768 kHz, and thus must be active for at least 61 microseconds to be latched. If the
input signal is still active when the latch is cleared, it will again be set. Another edge
trigger is not required. This makes these signals “level” triggered inputs.
5.15.4
Serial POST Codes Over GPIO
ICH9 adds the extended capability allowing system software to serialize POST or other
messages on GPIO. This capability negates the requirement for dedicated diagnostic
LEDs on the platform. Additionally, based on the newer BTX form factors, the PCI bus
as a target for POST codes is increasingly difficult to support as the total number of PCI
devices supported are decreasing.
5.15.4.1
Theory of operation
For the ICH9 generation POST code serialization logic will be shared with GPIO. These
GPIOs will likely be shared with LED control offered by the Super I/O (SIO) component.
The following reference diagram shows a likely configuration.
Figure 5-9.

ICH
SIO
LED
Note: The pull-up value is based on the brightness required.
The anticipated usage model is that either the ICH9 or the SIO can drive a pin low to
turn off an LED. In the case of the power LED, the SIO would normally leave its
corresponding pin in a high-Z state to allow the LED to turn on. In this state, the ICH9
can blink the LED by driving its corresponding pin low and subsequently tri-stating the
buffer.
An external optical sensing device can detect the on/off state of the LED. By externally
post-processing the information from the optical device, the serial bit stream can be
recovered. The hardware will supply a ‘sync’ byte before the actual data transmission
to allow external detection of the transmit frequency. The frequency of transmission
should be limited to 1 transition every 1μs to ensure the detector can reliably sample
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
191
Functional Description
the on/off state of the LED. To allow flexibility in pull-up resistor values for power
optimization, the frequency of the transmission is programmable via the DRS field in
the GP_SB_CMDSTS register (Section 13.10.6).
The serial bit stream is Manchester encoded. This choice of transmission ensures that a
transition will be seen on every clock. The 1 or 0 data is based on the transmission
happening during the high or low phase of the clock.
A simplified hardware/software register interface provides control and status
information to track the activity of this block. Software enabling the serial blink
capability should implement an algorithm referenced below to send the serialized
message on the enabled GPIO.
1. Read the Go/Busy status bit in the GP_SB_CMDSTS register and verify it is cleared.
This will ensure that the GPIO is idled and a previously requested message is still
not in progress.
2. Write the data to serialize into the GP_SB_DATA register (Section 13.10.7).
3. Write the DLS and DRS values into the GP_SB_CMDSTS register and set the Go bit.
This may be accomplished using a single write.
The reference diagram shows the LEDs being powered from the suspend supply. By
providing a generic capability that can be used both in the main and the suspend power
planes maximum flexibility can be achieved. A key point to make is that the ICH will not
unintentionally drive the LED control pin low unless a serialization is in progress.
System board connections utilizing this serialization capability are required to use the
same power plane controlling the LED as the ICH9 GPIO pin. Otherwise, the ICH9 GPIO
may float low during the message and prevent the LED from being controlled from the
SIO. The hardware will only be serializing messages when the core power well is
powered and the processor is operational.
Care should be taken to prevent the ICH9 from driving an active ‘1’ on a pin sharing the
serial LED capability. Since the SIO could be driving the line to 0, having the ICH drive
a 1 would create a high current path. A recommendation to avoid this condition
involves choosing a GPIO defaulting to an input. The GP_SER_BLINK register
(Section 13.10.7) should be set first before changing the direction of the pin to an
output. This sequence ensures the open-drain capability of the buffer is properly
configured before enabling the pin as an output.
5.15.4.2
Serial Message Format
In order to serialize the data onto the GPIO, an initial state of high-Z is assumed. The
SIO is required to have its LED control pin in a high-Z state as well to allow ICH9 to
blink the LED (refer to the reference diagram).
The three components of the serial message include the sync, data, and idle fields. The
sync field is 7 bits of ‘1’ data followed by 1 bit of ‘0’ data. Starting from the high-Z state
(LED on) provides external hardware a known initial condition and a known pattern. In
case one or more of the leading 1 sync bits are lost, the 1s followed by 0 provide a
clear indication of ‘end of sync’. This pattern will be used to ‘lock’ external sampling
logic to the encoded clock.
The data field is shifted out with the highest byte first (MSB). Within each byte, the
most significant bit is shifted first (MSb).
The idle field is enforced by the hardware and is at least 2 bit times long. The hardware
will not clear the Busy and Go bits until this idle time is met. Supporting the idle time in
hardware prevents time-based counting in BIOS as the hardware is immediately ready
for the next serial code when the Go bit is cleared. Note that the idle state is
represented as a high-Z condition on the pin. If the last transmitted bit is a 1, returning
192
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
to the idle state will result in a final 0-1 transition on the output Manchester data. Two
full bit times of idle correspond to a count of 4 time intervals (the width of the time
interval is controlled by the DRS field).
The following waveform shows a 1-byte serial write with a data byte of 5Ah. The
internal clock and bit position are for reference purposes only. The Manchester D is the
resultant data generated and serialized onto the GPIO. Since the buffer is operating in
open-drain mode the transitions are from high-Z to 0 and back.

enabled platforms with supporting Management Engine Firmware. Controller Link
GPIOs are owned by the management engine and are configured by Management
Engine firmware. When configured a a Controller Link GPIO the GPIO_USE_SEL bit is
ignored. If the Controller Link GPIO is utilized in a platform, its associated GPIO
functionality is no longer available to the host. If the Controller Link GPIO is not utilized
in a platform, the signal can instead be used as its associated General Purpose I/O.

SATA Host Controller (D31:F2, F5)
The SATA function in the ICH9 has three modes of operation to support different
operating system conditions. In the case of Native IDE enabled operating systems, the
ICH9 utilizes two controllers to enable all six ports of the bus. The first controller
(Device 31: Function 2) supports ports 0 -3 and the second controller (Device 31:
Function 5) supports ports 4 and 5. When using a legacy operating system, only one
controller (Device 31: Function 2) is available that supports ports 0 - 3. In AHCI or
RAID mode, only one controller (Device 31: Function 2) is utilized enabling all six ports.
The MAP register, Section 15.1.29, provides the ability to share PCI functions. When
sharing is enabled, all decode of I/O is done through the SATA registers. Device 31,
Function 1 (IDE controller) is hidden by software writing to the Function Disable
Register (D31, F0, offset F2h, bit 1), and its configuration registers are not used.
The ICH9 SATA controllers feature six (desktop only) / four (mobile only) sets of
interface signals (ports) that can be independently enabled or disabled (they cannot be
tri-stated or driven low). Each interface is supported by an independent DMA controller.
The ICH9 SATA controllers interact with an attached mass storage device through a
register interface that is equivalent to that presented by a traditional IDE host adapter.
The host software follows existing standards and conventions when accessing the
register interface and follows standard command protocol conventions.
Note:
SATA interface transfer rates are independent of UDMA mode settings. SATA interface
transfer rates will operate at the bus’s maximum speed, regardless of the UDMA mode
reported by the SATA device or the system BIOS.

Theory of Operation
5.16.2.1
Standard ATA Emulation
The ICH9 contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the legacy IDE
registers. The behavior of the Command and Control Block registers, PIO, and DMA
data transfers, resets, and interrupts are all emulated.
Note:
The ICH9 will assert INTR when the master device completes the EDD command
regardless of the command completion status of the slave device. If the master
completes EDD first, an INTR is generated and BSY will remain '1' until the slave
completes the command. If the slave completes EDD first, BSY will be '0' when the
master completes the EDD command and asserts INTR. Software must wait for busy to
clear (0) before completing an EDD command, as required by the ATA5 through ATA7
(T13) industry standards.
5.16.2.2
48-Bit LBA Operation
The SATA host controller supports 48-bit LBA through the host-to-device register FIS
when accesses are performed via writes to the task file. The SATA host controller will
ensure that the correct data is put into the correct byte of the host-to-device FIS.
There are special considerations when reading from the task file to support 48-bit LBA
operation. Software may need to read all 16-bits. Since the registers are only 8-bits
wide and act as a FIFO, a bit must be set in the device/control register, which is at
offset 3F6h for primary and 376h for secondary (or their native counterparts).
If software clears bit 7 of the control register before performing a read, the last item
written will be returned from the FIFO. If software sets bit 7 of the control register
before performing a read, the first item written will be returned from the FIFO.
5.16.3
SATA Swap Bay Support
The ICH9 provides for basic SATA swap bay support using the PSC register
configuration bits and power management flows. A device can be powered down by
software and the port can then be disabled, allowing removal and insertion of a new
device.
Note:
This SATA swap bay operation requires board hardware (implementation specific),
BIOS, and operating system support.
5.16.4
Hot Plug Operation
ICH9 supports Hot Plug Surprise removal and Insertion Notification in the PARTIAL,
SLUMBER and Listen Mode states when used with Low Power Device Presence
Detection. Software can take advantage of power savings in the low power states while
enabling hot plug operation. Refer to chapter 7 of the AHCI specification for details.
5.16.4.1
Low Power Device Presence Detection
Low Power Device Presence Detection enables SATA Link Power Management to coexist with hot plug (insertion and removal) without interlock switch or cold presence
detect. The detection mechanism allows Hot Plug events to be detectable by hardware
across all link power states (Active, PARTIAL, SLUMBER) as well as AHCI Listen Mode.
If the Low Power Device Presence Detection circuit is disabled the ICH9 reverts to Hot
Plug Surprise Removal Notification (without an interlock switch) mode that is mutually
exclusive of the PARTIAL and SLUMBER power management states.

Function Level Reset Support (FLR)
The SATA Host Controller supports the Function Level Reset (FLR) capability. The FLR
capability can be used in conjunction with Intel® Virtualization Technology. FLR allows
an Operating System in a Virtual Machine to have complete control over a device,
including its initialization, without interfering with the rest of the platform. The device
provides a software interface that enables the Operating System to reset the whole
device as if a PCI reset was asserted.
5.16.5.1
FLR Steps
5.16.5.1.1
FLR Initialization
1. A FLR is initiated by software writing a ‘1’ to the Initiate FLR bit.
2. All subsequent requests targeting the Function will not be claimed and will be
Master Abort Immediate on the bus. This includes any configuration, I/O or
Memory cycles, however, the Function shall continue to accept completions
targeting the Function.
5.16.5.1.2
FLR Operation
The Function will Reset all configuration, I/O and memory registers of the Function
except those indicated otherwise and reset all internal states of the Function to the
default or initial condition.
5.16.5.1.3
FLR Completion
The Initiate FLR bit is reset (cleared) when the FLR reset is completed. This bit can be
used to indicate to the software that the FLR reset is completed.
Note:
196
From the time Initiate FLR bit is written to '1' software must wait at least 100 ms
before accessing the function.

Intel® Matrix Storage Technology Configuration (Intel®
ICH9R, ICH9DH, ICH9DO, ICH9M and ICH9M-E Only)
The Intel® Matrix Storage Technology offers several diverse options for RAID
(redundant array of independent disks) to meet the needs of the end user. AHCI
support provides higher performance and alleviates disk bottlenecks by taking
advantage of the independent DMA engines that each SATA port offers in ICH9.
• RAID Level 0 performance scaling up to 4 drives, enabling higher throughput for
data intensive applications such as video editing.
• Data security is offered through RAID Level 1, which performs mirroring.
• RAID Level 10 provides high levels of storage performance with data protection,
combining the fault-tolerance of RAID Level 1 with the performance of RAID Level
0. By striping RAID Level 1 segments, high I/O rates can be achieved on systems
that require both performance and fault-tolerance. RAID Level 10 requires 4 hard
drives, and provides the capacity of two drives.
• RAID Level 5 provides highly efficient storage while maintaining fault-tolerance on
3 or more drives. By striping parity, and rotating it across all disks, fault tolerance
of any single drive is achieved while only consuming 1 drive worth of capacity. That
is, a 3 drive RAID 5 has the capacity of 2 drives, or a 4 drive RAID 5 has the
capacity of 3 drives. RAID 5 has high read transaction rates, with a medium write
rate. RAID 5 is well suited for applications that require high amounts of storage
while maintaining fault tolerance.
Note:
Intel® Matrix Storage Technology RAID functionality not supported on ICH9M base
component.
By using the ICH9’s built-in Intel Matrix Storage Technology, there is no loss of PCI
resources (request/grant pair) or add-in card slot.
Intel® Matrix Storage Technology functionality requires the following items:
1. ICH9 component enabled for Intel Matrix Storage Technology (see Section 1.3)
2. Intel Matrix Storage Manager RAID Option ROM must be on the platform
3. Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers, most recent revision.
4. At least two SATA hard disk drives (minimum depends on RAID configuration).
Intel Matrix Storage Technology is not available in the following configurations:
1. The SATA controller is in compatible mode.
5.16.6.1
Intel® Matrix Storage Manager RAID Option ROM
The Intel Matrix Storage Manager RAID Option ROM is a standard PnP Option ROM that
is easily integrated into any System BIOS. When in place, it provides the following
three primary functions:
• Provides a text mode user interface that allows the user to manage the RAID
configuration on the system in a pre-operating system environment. Its feature set
is kept simple to keep size to a minimum, but allows the user to create & delete
RAID volumes and select recovery options when problems occur.
• Provides boot support when using a RAID volume as a boot disk. It does this by
providing Int13 services when a RAID volume needs to be accessed by DOS
applications (such as NTLDR) and by exporting the RAID volumes to the System
BIOS for selection in the boot order.
• At each boot up, provides the user with a status of the RAID volumes and the
option to enter the user interface by pressing CTRL-I.

Power Management Operation
Power management of the ICH9 SATA controller and ports will cover operations of the
host controller and the SATA wire.
5.16.7.1
Power State Mappings
The D0 PCI power management state for device is supported by the ICH9 SATA
controller.
SATA devices may also have multiple power states. From parallel ATA, three device
states are supported through ACPI. They are:
• D0 – Device is working and instantly available.
• D1 – device enters when it receives a STANDBY IMMEDIATE command. Exit latency
from this state is in seconds
• D3 – from the SATA device’s perspective, no different than a D1 state, in that it is
entered via the STANDBY IMMEDIATE command. However, an ACPI method is also
called which will reset the device and then cut its power.
Each of these device states are subsets of the host controller’s D0 state.
Finally, SATA defines three PHY layer power states, which have no equivalent mappings
to parallel ATA. They are:
• PHY READY – PHY logic and PLL are both on and active
• Partial – PHY logic is powered, but in a reduced state. Exit latency is no longer
than 10 ns
• Slumber – PHY logic is powered, but in a reduced state. Exit latency can be up to
10 ms.
Since these states have much lower exit latency than the ACPI D1 and D3 states, the
SATA controller defines these states as sub-states of the device D0 state.

Power State Transitions
5.16.7.2.1
Partial and Slumber State Entry/Exit
The partial and slumber states save interface power when the interface is idle. It would
be most analogous to PCI CLKRUN# (in power savings, not in mechanism), where the
interface can have power saved while no commands are pending. The SATA controller
defines PHY layer power management (as performed via primitives) as a driver
operation from the host side, and a device proprietary mechanism on the device side.
The SATA controller accepts device transition types, but does not issue any transitions
as a host. All received requests from a SATA device will be ACKed.
When an operation is performed to the SATA controller such that it needs to use the
SATA cable, the controller must check whether the link is in the Partial or Slumber
states, and if so, must issue a COM_WAKE to bring the link back online. Similarly, the
SATA device must perform the same action.
5.16.7.2.2
Device D1, D3 States
These states are entered after some period of time when software has determined that
no commands will be sent to this device for some time. The mechanism for putting a
device in these states does not involve any work on the host controller, other then
sending commands over the interface to the device. The command most likely to be
used in ATA/ATAPI is the “STANDBY IMMEDIATE” command.
5.16.7.2.3
Host Controller D3HOT State
After the interface and device have been put into a low power state, the SATA host
controller may be put into a low power state. This is performed via the PCI power
management registers in configuration space. There are two very important aspects to
note when using PCI power management.
1. When the power state is D3, only accesses to configuration space are allowed. Any
attempt to access the memory or I/O spaces will result in master abort.
2. When the power state is D3, no interrupts may be generated, even if they are
enabled. If an interrupt status bit is pending when the controller transitions to D0,
an interrupt may be generated.
When the controller is put into D3, it is assumed that software has properly shut down
the device and disabled the ports. Therefore, there is no need to sustain any values on
the port wires. The interface will be treated as if no device is present on the cable, and
power will be minimized.
When returning from a D3 state, an internal reset will not be performed.
5.16.7.2.4
Non-AHCI Mode PME# Generation
When in non-AHCI mode (legacy mode) of operation, the SATA controller does not
generate PME#. This includes attach events (since the port must be disabled), or
interlock switch events (via the SATAGP pins).

5.16.7.3
SMI Trapping (APM)
Device 31:Function2:Offset C0h (see Section 14.1.37) contain control for generating
SMI# on accesses to the IDE I/O spaces. These bits map to the legacy ranges (1F0–
1F7h, 3F6h, 170–177h, and 376h) and native IDE ranges defined by PCMDBA, PCTLBA,
SCMDBA an SCTLBA. If the SATA controller is in legacy mode and is using these
addresses, accesses to one of these ranges with the appropriate bit set causes the
cycle to not be forwarded to the SATA controller, and for an SMI# to be generated. If an
access to the Bus-Master IDE registers occurs while trapping is enabled for the device
being accessed, then the register is updated, an SMI# is generated, and the device
activity status bits (Section 14.1.38) are updated indicating that a trap occurred.
5.16.8
SATA Device Presence
In legacy mode, the SATA controller does not generate interrupts based on hot plug/
unplug events. However, the SATA PHY does know when a device is connected (if not in
a partial or slumber state), and it s beneficial to communicate this information to host
software as this will greatly reduce boot times and resume times.
The flow used to indicate SATA device presence is shown in Figure 5-11. The ‘PxE’ bit
refers to PCS.P[3:0]E bits, depending on the port being checked and the ‘PxP’ bits refer
to the PCS.P[3:0]P bits, depending on the port being checked. If the PCS/PxP bit is set
a device is present, if the bit is cleared a device is not present. If a port is disabled,
software can check to see if a new device is connected by periodically reenabling the
port and observing if a device is present, if a device is not present it can disable the
port and check again later. If a port remains enabled, software can periodically poll
PCS.PxP to see if a new device is connected.

The SATALED# output is driven whenever the BSY bit is set in any SATA port. The

AHCI Operation
The ICH9 provides hardware support for Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a
programming interface for SATA host controllers developed through a joint industry
effort. AHCI defines transactions between the SATA controller and software and enables
advanced performance and usability with SATA. Platforms supporting AHCI may take
advantage of performance features such as no master/slave designation for SATA
devices—each device is treated as a master—and hardware assisted native command
queuing. AHCI also provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug. AHCI requires
appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI driver) and for some features, hardware
support in the SATA device or additional platform hardware.
The ICH9 supports all of the mandatory features of the Serial ATA Advanced Host
Controller Interface Specification, Revision 1.2 and many optional features, such as
hardware assisted native command queuing, aggressive power management, LED
indicator support, and Hot-Plug through the use of interlock switch support (additional
platform hardware and software may be required depending upon the implementation).
Note:
For reliable device removal notification while in AHCI operation without the use of
interlock switches (surprise removal), interface power management should be disabled
for the associated port. See Section 7.3.1 of the AHCI Specification for more
information.
5.16.11
Serial ATA Reference Clock Low Power Request
(SATACLKREQ#)
The 100 MHz Serial ATA Reference Clock (SATACLKP, SATACLKN) is implemented on the
system as a ground-terminated low-voltage differential signal pair driven by the system
Clock Chip. When all the SATA links are in Slumber or disabled, the SATA Reference
Clock is not needed and may be stopped and tri-stated at the clock chip allowing
system-level power reductions.
The ICH9 uses the SATACLKREQ# output signal to communicate with the system Clock
Chip to request either SATA clock running or to tell the system clock chip that it can
stop the SATA Reference Clock. ICH9 drives this signal low to request clock running,
and tristates the signal to indicate that the SATA Reference Clock may be stopped (the
ICH9 never drives the pin high). When the SATACLKREQ# is tristated by the ICH9, the
clock chip may stop the SATA Reference Clock within 100 ns, anytime after 100 ns, or
not at all. If the SATA Reference Clock is not already running, it will start within 100 ns
after a SATACLKREQ# is driven low by the ICH9.
To enable SATA Reference Clock Low Power Request:
1. Configure GPIO35 to native function
2. Set SATA Clock Request Enable (SCRE) bit to ‘1’ (Dev 31:F2:Offset 94h:bit 28).
Note:
The reset default for SATACLKREQ# is low to insure that the SATA Reference Clock is
running after system reset.
5.16.12
SGPIO Signals
The SGPIO signals, in accordance to the SFF-8485 specification, support per-port LED
signaling. These signals are not related to SATALED#, which allows for simplified
indication of SATA command activity. The SGPIO group interfaces with an external
controller chip that fetches and serializes the data for driving across the SGPIO bus.
The output signals then control the LEDs. This feature is only valid in AHCI/RAID mode.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet

Functional Description
5.16.12.1
Mechanism
The enclosure management for SATA Controller 1 (Device 31: Function 2) involves
sending messages that control LEDs in the enclosure. The messages for this function
are stored after the normal registers in the AHCI BAR, at Offset 400h bytes for ICH9
from the beginning of the AHCI BAR as specified by the EM_LOC global register
(Section 14.4.1.8).
Software creates messages for transmission in the enclosure management message
buffer. The data in the message buffer should not be changed if CTL.TM bit is set by
software to transmit an update message. Software should only update the message
buffer when CTL.TM bit is cleared by hardware otherwise the message transmitted will
be indeterminate. Software then writes a register to cause hardware to transmit the
message or take appropriate action based on the message content. The software
should only create message types supported by the controller, which is LED messages
for ICH9. If the software creates other non LED message types (e.g. SAF-TE, SES-2),
the SGPIO interface may hang and the result is indeterminate.
During reset all SGPIO pins will be in tri-state state. The interface will continue to be in
tri-state state after reset until the first transmission occurs when software programs
the message buffer and sets the transmit bit CTL.TM. The SATA Host controller will
initiate the transmission by driving SCLOCK and at the same time drive the SLOAD to
‘0’ prior to the actual bit stream transmission. The Host will drive SLOAD low for at
least 5 SCLOCK then only start the bit stream by driving the SLOAD to high. SLOAD will
be driven high for 1 SCLOCK follow by vendor specific pattern that is default to “0000”
if software has yet to program the value. A total of 18-bit stream from 6 ports (Port0,
Port1, Port2, Port3, Port4 and Port5) of 3-bit per port LED message will be transmitted
on SDATAOUT0 pin after the SLOAD is driven high for 1 SCLOCK. Only 2 ports (port4
and port5) of 6 bit total LED message follow by 12 bits of tri-state value will be
transmitted out on SDATAOUT1 pin.
All the default LED message values will be high prior to software setting them, except
the Activity LED message that is configured to be hardware driven that will be
generated based on the activity from the respective port. All the LED message values
will be driven to ‘1’ for the port that is unimplemented as indicated in the Port
Implemented register regardless of the software programmed value through the
message buffer.
There are 2 different ways of resetting ICH SGPIO interface, asynchronous reset and
synchronous reset. Asynchronous reset is caused by platform reset to cause the SGPIO
interface to be tri-state asynchronously. Synchronous reset is caused by setting the
CTL.RESET bit, clearing the GHC.AE bit or HBA reset, where Host Controller will
complete the existing full bit stream transmission then only tri-state all the SGPIO pins.
After the reset, both synchronous and asynchronous, the SGPIO pins will stay tristated.
Note:
ICH Host Controller does not ensure to cause the target SGPIO device or controller to
be reset. Software is responsible to keep ICH SGPIO interface in tri-state stated for 2
second in order to cause a reset on the target of the SGPIO interface.

the responsibility of software to ensure the content of the message format is correct. If
the message type is not programmed as 'LED' for this controller, the controller shall not
take any action to update its LEDs. Note that for LED message type, the message size
is always consisted of 4 bytes.
5.16.12.3
LED Message Type
The LED message type specifies the status of up to three LEDs. Typically, the usage for
these LEDs is activity, fault, and locate. Not all implementations necessarily contain all
LEDs (for example, some implementations may not have a locate LED). The message
identifies the HBA port number and the Port Multiplier port number that the slot status
applies to. If a Port Multiplier is not in use with a particular device, the Port Multiplier
port number shall be ‘0’. The format of the LED message type is defined in Table 5-42.

External SATA
ICH9 supports external SATA. External SATA utilizes the SATA interface outside of the
system box. The usage model for this feature must comply with the Serial ATA II
Cables and Connectors Volume 2 Gold specification at www.sata-io.org. Intel validates
two configurations:
1. The cable-up solution involves an internal SATA cable that connects to the SATA
motherboard connector and spans to a back panel PCI bracket with an e-SATA
connector. A separate e-SATA cable is required to connect an e-SATA device.
2. The back-panel solution involves running a trace to the I/O back panel and
connecting a device via an external SATA connector on the board.
5.17
High Precision Event Timers
This function provides a set of timers that can be used by the operating system. The
timers are defined such that in the future, the operating system may be able to assign
specific timers to used directly by specific applications. Each timer can be configured to
cause a separate interrupt.
ICH9 provides four timers. The four timers are implemented as a single counter each
with its own comparator and value register. This counter increases monotonically. Each
individual timer can generate an interrupt when the value in its value register matches
the value in the main counter.
The registers associated with these timers are mapped to a memory space (much like
the I/O APIC). However, it is not implemented as a standard PCI function. The BIOS
reports to the operating system the location of the register space. The hardware can
support an assignable decode space; however, the BIOS sets this space prior to
handing it over to the operating system
(See Section 9.4). It is not expected that the operating system will move the location
of these timers once it is set by the BIOS.
5.17.1
Timer Accuracy
1. The timers are accurate over any 1 ms period to within 0.05% of the time specified
in the timer resolution fields.
2. Within any 100 microsecond period, the timer reports a time that is up to two ticks
too early or too late. Each tick is less than or equal to 100 ns, so this represents an
error of less than 0.2%.
3. The timer is monotonic. It does not return the same value on two consecutive
reads (unless the counter has rolled over and reached the same value).
The main counter is clocked by the 14.31818 MHz clock, synchronized into the 66.666
MHz domain. This results in a non-uniform duty cycle on the synchronized clock, but
does have the correct average period. The accuracy of the main counter is as accurate
as the 14.3818 MHz clock.

Interrupt Mapping
Mapping Option #1 (Legacy Replacement Option)

Mapping Option #2 (Standard Option)
In this case, the Legacy Replacement Rout bit (LEG_RT_CNF) is 0. Each timer has its
own routing control. The interrupts can be routed to various interrupts in the 8259 or
I/O APIC. A capabilities field indicates which interrupts are valid options for routing. If a
timer is set for edge-triggered mode, the timers should not be share with any PCI
interrupts.
For the Intel ICH9, the only supported interrupt values are as follows:
Timer 0 and 1: IRQ20, 21, 22 & 23 (I/O APIC only).
Timer 2: IRQ11 (8259 or I/O APIC) and IRQ20, 21, 22 & 23 (I/O APIC only).
Timer 3: IRQ12 (8259 or I/O APIC) and IRQ 20, 21, 22 & 23 (I/O APIC only).
5.17.3
Periodic vs. Non-Periodic Modes
Non-Periodic Mode
Timer 0 is configurable to 32 (default) or 64-bit mode, whereas Timers 1, 2 and 3 only
support 32-bit mode (See Section 21.1.5).
All four timers support non-periodic mode.
Consult Section 2.3.9.2.1 of the IA-PC HPET Specification for a description of this
mode.
Periodic Mode
Timer 0 is the only timer that supports periodic mode. Consult Section 2.3.9.2.2 of the
IA-PC HPET Specification for a description of this mode.
The following usage model is expected:
1. Software clears the ENABLE_CNF bit to prevent any interrupts
2. Software Clears the main counter by writing a value of 00h to it.
3. Software sets the TIMER0_VAL_SET_CNF bit.
4. Software writes the new value in the TIMER0_COMPARATOR_VAL register
5. Software sets the ENABLE_CNF bit to enable interrupts.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
207
Functional Description
The Timer 0 Comparator Value register cannot be programmed reliably by a single
64-bit write in a 32-bit environment except if only the periodic rate is being changed
during run-time. If the actual Timer 0 Comparator Value needs to be reinitialized, then
the following software solution will always work regardless of the environment:
1. Set TIMER0_VAL_SET_CNF bit
2. Set the lower 32 bits of the Timer0 Comparator Value register
3. Set TIMER0_VAL_SET_CNF bit
4. Set the upper 32 bits of the Timer0 Comparator Value register
5.17.4
Enabling the Timers
The BIOS or operating system PnP code should route the interrupts. This includes the
Legacy Rout bit, Interrupt Rout bit (for each timer), interrupt type (to select the edge
or level type for each timer)
The Device Driver code should do the following for an available timer:
1. Set the Overall Enable bit (Offset 04h, bit 0).
2. Set the timer type field (selects one-shot or periodic).
3. Set the interrupt enable
4. Set the comparator value
5.17.5
Interrupt Levels
Interrupts directed to the internal 8259s are active high. See Section 5.9 for
information regarding the polarity programming of the I/O APIC for detecting internal
interrupts.
If the interrupts are mapped to the 8259 or I/O APIC and set for level-triggered mode,
they can be shared with PCI interrupts. They may be shared although it’s unlikely for
the operating system to attempt to do this.
If more than one timer is configured to share the same IRQ (using the
TIMERn_INT_ROUT_CNF fields), then the software must configure the timers to leveltriggered mode. Edge-triggered interrupts cannot be shared.
5.17.6
Handling Interrupts
If each timer has a unique interrupt and the timer has been configured for edgetriggered mode, then there are no specific steps required. No read is required to
process the interrupt.
If a timer has been configured to level-triggered mode, then its interrupt must be
cleared by the software. This is done by reading the interrupt status register and
writing a 1 back to the bit position for the interrupt to be cleared.
Independent of the mode, software can read the value in the main counter to see how
time has passed between when the interrupt was generated and when it was first
serviced.
If Timer 0 is set up to generate a periodic interrupt, the software can check to see how
much time remains until the next interrupt by checking the timer value register.

Issues Related to 64-Bit Timers with 32-Bit Processors
A 32-bit timer can be read directly using processors that are capable of 32-bit or 64-bit
instructions. However, a 32-bit processor may not be able to directly read 64-bit timer.
A race condition comes up if a 32-bit processor reads the 64-bit register using two
separate 32-bit reads. The danger is that just after reading one half, the other half rolls
over and changes the first half.
If a 32-bit processor needs to access a 64-bit timer, it must first halt the timer before
reading both the upper and lower 32-bits of the timer. If a 32-bit processor does not
want to halt the timer, it can use the 64-bit timer as a 32-bit timer by setting the
TIMERn_32MODE_CNF bit. This causes the timer to behave as a 32-bit timer. The upper
32-bits are always 0.
Alternatively, software may do a multiple read of the counter while it is running.
Software can read the high 32 bits, then the low 32 bits, the high 32 bits again. If the
high 32 bits have not changed between the two reads, then a rollover has not
happened and the low 32 bits are valid. If the high 32 bits have changed between
reads, then the multiple reads are repeated until a valid read is performed.
Note: On a 64-bit platform, if software attempts a 64 bit read of the 64-bit counter,
software must be aware that some platforms may split the 64 bit read into two 32 bit
reads. The read maybe inaccurate if the low 32 bits roll over between the high and low
reads.

USB UHCI Host Controllers (D29:F0, F1, F2, F3
and D26:F0, F1 and F2)
The ICH9 contains six USB full/low-speed host controllers that support the standard
Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI), Revision 1.1. Each UHCI Host Controller
(UHC) includes a root hub with two separate USB ports each, for a total of twelve USB
ports.
• Overcurrent detection on all twelve USB ports is supported. The overcurrent inputs
are not 5 V tolerant, and can be used as GPIs if not needed.
• The ICH9’s UHCI host controllers are arbitrated differently than standard PCI
devices to improve arbitration latency.
• The UHCI controllers use the Analog Front End (AFE) embedded cell that allows
support for USB full-speed signaling rates, instead of USB I/O buffers.
Note:
D26:F2 can be configured as D29:F3 during BIOS Post.

5.18.4
Bus Protocol
5.18.4.1
Bit Ordering
Bits are sent out onto the bus least significant bit (LSb) first, followed by next LSb,
through to the most significant bit (MSb) last.
5.18.4.2
SYNC Field
All packets begin with a synchronization (SYNC) field, which is a coded sequence that
generates a maximum edge transition density. The SYNC field appears on the bus as
IDLE followed by the binary string “KJKJKJKK,” in its NRZI encoding. It is used by the
input circuitry to align incoming data with the local clock and is defined to be 8 bits in
length. SYNC serves only as a synchronization mechanism. The last two bits in the
SYNC field are a marker that is used to identify the first bit of the PID. All subsequent
bits in the packet must be indexed from this point.
5.18.4.3
Packet Field Formats
All packets have distinct start and end of packet delimiters. Full details are given in the
Universal Serial Bus Specification, Revision 2.0, in Section 8.3.1.
5.18.4.4
Address Fields
Function endpoints are addressed using the function address field and the endpoint
field. Full details on this are given in the Universal Serial Bus Specification, Revision
2.0, in Section 8.3.2.
5.18.4.5
Frame Number Field
The frame number field is an 11-bit field that is incremented by the host on a per frame
basis. The frame number field rolls over upon reaching its maximum value of 7FFh, and
is sent only for SOF tokens at the start of each frame.
5.18.4.6
Data Field
The data field may range from 0 to 1023 bytes and must be an integral numbers of
bytes. Data bits within each byte are shifted out LSB first.
5.18.4.7
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
CRC is used to protect the all non-PID fields in token and data packets. In this context,
these fields are considered to be protected fields. Full details on this are given in the
Universal Serial Bus Specification, Revision 2.0, in Section 8.3.5.
5.18.5
Packet Formats
The USB protocol calls out several packet types: token, data, and handshake packets.

Functional Description
5.18.6
USB Interrupts
There are two general groups of USB interrupt sources, those resulting from execution
of transactions in the schedule, and those resulting from an ICH9 operation error. All
transaction-based sources can be masked by software through the ICH9’s Interrupt
Enable register. Additionally, individual transfer descriptors can be marked to generate
an interrupt on completion.
When the ICH9 drives an interrupt for USB, it internally drives the PIRQA# pin for USB
function #0 and USB function #3, PIRQD# pin for USB function #1, and the PIRQC#
pin for USB function #2, until all sources of the interrupt are cleared. In order to
accommodate some operating systems, the Interrupt Pin register must contain a
different value for each function of this new multi-function device.
5.18.6.1
Transaction-Based Interrupts
These interrupts are not signaled until after the status for the last complete transaction
in the frame has been written back to host memory. This ensures that software can
safely process through (Frame List Current Index -1) when it is servicing an interrupt.
CRC Error / Time-Out
A CRC/Time-Out error occurs when a packet transmitted from the ICH9 to a USB device
or a packet transmitted from a USB device to the ICH9 generates a CRC error. The ICH9
is informed of this event by a time-out from the USB device or by the ICH9’s CRC
checker generating an error on reception of the packet. Additionally, a USB bus timeout occurs when USB devices do not respond to a transaction phase within 19-bit times
of an EOP. Either of these conditions causes the C_ERR field of the TD to decrement.
When the C_ERR field decrements to 0, the following occurs:
• The Active bit in the TD is cleared
• The Stalled bit in the TD is set
• The CRC/Time-out bit in the TD is set.
• At the end of the frame, the USB Error Interrupt bit is set in the HC status register.
If the CRC/Time out interrupt is enabled in the Interrupt Enable register, a hardware
interrupt will be signaled to the system.
Interrupt on Completion
Transfer Descriptors contain a bit that can be set to cause an interrupt on their
completion. The completion of the transaction associated with that block causes the
USB Interrupt bit in the HC Status Register to be set at the end of the frame in which
the transfer completed. When a TD is encountered with the IOC bit set to 1, the IOC bit
in the HC Status register is set to 1 at the end of the frame if the active bit in the TD is
set to 0 (even if it was set to 0 when initially read).
If the IOC Enable bit of Interrupt Enable register (bit 2 of I/O offset 04h) is set, a
hardware interrupt is signaled to the system. The USB Interrupt bit in the HC status
register is set either when the TD completes successfully or because of errors. If the
completion is because of errors, the USB Error bit in the HC status register is also set.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
211
Functional Description
Short Packet Detect
A transfer set is a collection of data which requires more than one USB transaction to
completely move the data across the USB. An example might be a large print file which
requires numerous TDs in multiple frames to completely transfer the data. Reception of
a data packet that is less than the endpoint’s Max Packet size during Control, Bulk or
Interrupt transfers signals the completion of the transfer set, even if there are active
TDs remaining for this transfer set. Setting the SPD bit in a TD indicates to the HC to
set the USB Interrupt bit in the HC status register at the end of the frame in which this
event occurs. This feature streamlines the processing of input on these transfer types.
If the Short Packet Interrupt Enable bit in the Interrupt Enable register is set, a
hardware interrupt is signaled to the system at the end of the frame where the event
occurred.
Serial Bus Babble
When a device transmits on the USB for a time greater than its assigned Max Length, it
is said to be babbling. Since isochrony can be destroyed by a babbling device, this error
results in the Active bit in the TD being cleared to 0 and the Stalled and Babble bits
being set to 1. The C_ERR field is not decremented for a babble. The USB Error
Interrupt bit in the HC Status register is set to 1 at the end of the frame. A hardware
interrupt is signaled to the system.
If an EOF babble was caused by the ICH9 (due to incorrect schedule for instance), the
ICH9 forces a bit stuff error followed by an EOP and the start of the next frame.
Stalled
This event indicates that a device/endpoint returned a STALL handshake during a
transaction or that the transaction ended in an error condition. The TDs Stalled bit is
set and the Active bit is cleared. Reception of a STALL does not decrement the error
counter. A hardware interrupt is signaled to the system.
Data Buffer Error
This event indicates that an overrun of incoming data or a under-run of outgoing data
has occurred for this transaction. This would generally be caused by the ICH9 not being
able to access required data buffers in memory within necessary latency requirements.
Either of these conditions causes the C_ERR field of the TD to be decremented.
When C_ERR decrements to 0, the Active bit in the TD is cleared, the Stalled bit is set,
the USB Error Interrupt bit in the HC Status register is set to 1 at the end of the frame
and a hardware interrupt is signaled to the system.
Bit Stuff Error
A bit stuff error results from the detection of a sequence of more that six 1s in a row
within the incoming data stream. This causes the C_ERR field of the TD to be
decremented. When the C_ERR field decrements to 0, the Active bit in the TD is cleared
to 0, the Stalled bit is set to 1, the USB Error Interrupt bit in the HC Status register is
set to 1 at the end of the frame and a hardware interrupt is signaled to the system.
212
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.18.6.2
Non-Transaction Based Interrupts
If an ICH9 process error or system error occurs, the ICH9 halts and immediately issues
a hardware interrupt to the system.
Resume Received
This event indicates that the ICH9 received a RESUME signal from a device on the USB
bus during a global suspend. If this interrupt is enabled in the Interrupt Enable register,
a hardware interrupt is signaled to the system allowing the USB to be brought out of
the suspend state and returned to normal operation.
ICH9 Process Error
The HC monitors certain critical fields during operation to ensure that it does not
process corrupted data structures. These include checking for a valid PID and verifying
that the MaxLength field is less than 1280. If it detects a condition that would indicate
that it is processing corrupted data structures, it immediately halts processing, sets the
HC Process Error bit in the HC Status register and signals a hardware interrupt to the
system.
This interrupt cannot be disabled through the Interrupt Enable register.
Host System Error
The ICH9 sets this bit to 1 when a Parity error, Master Abort, or Target Abort occurs.
When this error occurs, the ICH9 clears the Run/Stop bit in the Command register to
prevent further execution of the scheduled TDs. This interrupt cannot be disabled
through the Interrupt Enable register.
5.18.7
USB Power Management
The Host controller can be put into a suspended state and its power can be removed.
This requires that certain bits of information are retained in the suspend power plane of
the ICH9 so that a device on a port may wake the system. Such a device may be a faxmodem, which will wake up the machine to receive a fax or take a voice message. The
settings of the following bits in I/O space will be maintained when the ICH9 enters the
S3, S4, or S5 states.

5.18.8
USB Legacy Keyboard Operation
When a USB keyboard is plugged into the system, and a standard keyboard is not, the
system may not boot, and MS-DOS legacy software will not run, because the keyboard
will not be identified. The ICH9 implements a series of trapping operations which will
snoop accesses that go to the keyboard controller, and put the expected data from the
USB keyboard into the keyboard controller.
Note:
The scheme described below assumes that the keyboard controller (8042 or
equivalent) is on the LPC bus.
This legacy operation is performed through SMM space. Figure 5-13 shows the Enable
and Status path. The latched SMI source (60R, 60W, 64R, 64W) is available in the
Status Register. Because the enable is after the latch, it is possible to check for other
events that didn't necessarily cause an SMI. It is the software's responsibility to
logically AND the value with the appropriate enable bits.
Note also that the SMI is generated before the PCI cycle completes (e.g., before TRDY#
goes active) to ensure that the processor doesn't complete the cycle before the SMI is
observed.
The logic also needs to block the accesses to the 8042. If there is an external 8042,
then this is simply accomplished by not activating the 8042 CS. This is done by logically
ANDing the four enables (60R, 60W, 64R, 64W) with the 4 types of accesses to
determine if 8042CS should go active. An additional term is required for the “passthrough” case.
The state table for Figure 5-13 is shown in Table 5-45.

Function Level Reset Support (FLR)
The USB UHCI Controllers support the Function Level Reset (FLR) capability. The FLR
capability can be used in conjunction with Intel® Virtualization Technology. FLR allows
an Operating System in a Virtual Machine to have complete control over a device,
including its initialization, without interfering with the rest of the platform. The device
provides a software interface that enables the Operating System to reset the whole
device as if a PCI reset was asserted.
5.18.9.1
FLR Steps
5.18.9.1.1
FLR Initialization
1. A FLR is initiated by software writing a 1 to the Initiate FLR bit.
2. All subsequent requests targeting the Function will not be claimed and will be
Master Abort Immediate on the bus. This includes any configuration, I/O or
Memory cycles, however, the Function shall continue to accept completions
targeting the Function.
5.18.9.1.2
FLR Operation
The Function will Reset all configuration, I/O and memory registers of the Function
except those indicated otherwise and reset all internal states of the Function to the
default or initial condition.
5.18.9.1.3
FLR Completion
The Initiate FLR bit is reset (cleared) when the FLR reset is completed. This bit can be
used to indicate to the software that the FLR reset is completed.
Note:
216
From the time Initiate FLR bit is written to 1, software must wait at least 100 ms before
accessing the function.

USB EHCI Host Controllers (D29:F7 and D26:F7)
The ICH9 contains two Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) host controllers
which support up to twelve USB 2.0 high-speed root ports. USB 2.0 allows data
transfers up to 480 Mb/s using the same pins as the twelve USB full-speed/low-speed
ports. The ICH9 contains port-routing logic that determines whether a USB port is
controlled by one of the UHCI controllers or by one of the EHCI controllers. USB 2.0
based Debug Port is also implemented in the ICH9.
A summary of the key architectural differences between the USB UHCI host controllers
and the EHCI host controller are shown in Table 5-46.

USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller DMA
The ICH9 USB 2.0 EHC implements three sources of USB packets. They are, in order of
priority on USB during each microframe:
1. The USB 2.0 Debug Port (see Section USB 2.0 Based Debug Port),
2. The Periodic DMA engine, and
3. The Asynchronous DMA engine.
The ICH9 always performs any currently-pending debug port transaction at the
beginning of a microframe, followed by any pending periodic traffic for the current
microframe. If there is time left in the microframe, then the EHC performs any pending
asynchronous traffic until the end of the microframe (EOF1). Note that the debug port
traffic is only presented on one port (Port #0), while the other ports are idle during this
time.

The ICH9 EHCI allows entrance to USB test modes, as defined in the USB 2.0
specification, including Test J, Test Packet, etc. However note that the ICH9 Test Packet
test mode interpacket gap timing may not meet the USB 2.0 specification.
5.19.6
USB 2.0 Interrupts and Error Conditions
Section 4 of the Enhanced Host Controller Interface Specification for Universal Serial
Bus, Revision 1.0 goes into detail on the EHC interrupts and the error conditions that
cause them. All error conditions that the EHC detects can be reported through the EHCI
Interrupt status bits. Only ICH9-specific interrupt and error-reporting behavior is
documented in this section. The EHCI Interrupts Section must be read first, followed by
this section of the datasheet to fully comprehend the EHC interrupt and error-reporting
functionality.
• Based on the EHC’s Buffer sizes and buffer management policies, the Data Buffer
Error can never occur on the ICH9.
• Master Abort and Target Abort responses from hub interface on EHC-initiated read
packets will be treated as Fatal Host Errors. The EHC halts when these conditions
are encountered.
• The ICH9 may assert the interrupts which are based on the interrupt threshold as
soon as the status for the last complete transaction in the interrupt interval has
been posted in the internal write buffers. The requirement in the Enhanced Host
Controller Interface Specification for Universal Serial Bus, Revision 1.0 (that the
status is written to memory) is met internally, even though the write may not be
seen on DMI before the interrupt is asserted.
• Since the ICH9 supports the 1024-element Frame List size, the Frame List Rollover
interrupt occurs every 1024 milliseconds.
• The ICH9 delivers interrupts using PIRQH#.
• The ICH9 does not modify the CERR count on an Interrupt IN when the “Do
Complete-Split” execution criteria are not met.
• For complete-split transactions in the Periodic list, the “Missed Microframe” bit does
not get set on a control-structure-fetch that fails the late-start test. If subsequent
accesses to that control structure do not fail the late-start test, then the “Missed
Microframe” bit will get set and written back.
5.19.6.1
Aborts on USB 2.0-Initiated Memory Reads
If a read initiated by the EHC is aborted, the EHC treats it as a fatal host error. The
following actions are taken when this occurs:
• The Host System Error status bit is set
• The DMA engines are halted after completing up to one more transaction on the
USB interface
• If enabled (by the Host System Error Enable), then an interrupt is generated
• If the status is Master Abort, then the Received Master Abort bit in configuration
space is set
• If the status is Target Abort, then the Received Target Abort bit in configuration
space is set
• If enabled (by the SERR Enable bit in the function’s configuration space), then the
Signaled System Error bit in configuration bit is set.

5.19.7
USB 2.0 Power Management
5.19.7.1
Pause Feature
This feature allows platforms (especially mobile systems) to dynamically enter lowpower states during brief periods when the system is idle (i.e., between keystrokes).
This is useful for enabling power management features like Intel SpeedStep®
technology in the ICH9. The policies for entering these states typically are based on the
recent history of system bus activity to incrementally enter deeper power management
states. Normally, when the EHC is enabled, it regularly accesses main memory while
traversing the DMA schedules looking for work to do; this activity is viewed by the
power management software as a non-idle system, thus preventing the power
managed states to be entered. Suspending all of the enabled ports can prevent the
memory accesses from occurring, but there is an inherent latency overhead with
entering and exiting the suspended state on the USB ports that makes this
unacceptable for the purpose of dynamic power management. As a result, the EHCI
software drivers are allowed to pause the EHC’s DMA engines when it knows that the
traffic patterns of the attached devices can afford the delay. The pause only prevents
the EHC from generating memory accesses; the SOF packets continue to be generated
on the USB ports (unlike the suspended state).
5.19.7.2
Suspend Feature
The Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) For Universal Serial Bus Specification,
Section 4.3 describes the details of Port Suspend and Resume.
5.19.7.3
ACPI Device States
The USB 2.0 function only supports the D0 and D3 PCI Power Management states.
Notes regarding the ICH9 implementation of the Device States:
1. The EHC hardware does not inherently consume any more power when it is in the
D0 state than it does in the D3 state. However, software is required to suspend or
disable all ports prior to entering the D3 state such that the maximum power
consumption is reduced.
2. In the D0 state, all implemented EHC features are enabled.
3. In the D3 state, accesses to the EHC memory-mapped I/O range will master abort.
Note that, since the Debug Port uses the same memory range, the Debug Port is
only operational when the EHC is in the D0 state.
4. In the D3 state, the EHC interrupt must never assert for any reason. The internal
PME# signal is used to signal wake events, etc.
5. When the Device Power State field is written to D0 from D3, an internal reset is
generated. See section EHC Resets for general rules on the effects of this reset.
6. Attempts to write any other value into the Device Power State field other than 00b
(D0 state) and 11b (D3 state) will complete normally without changing the current
value in this field.
220
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.19.7.4
ACPI System States
The EHC behavior as it relates to other power management states in the system is
summarized in the following list:
— The System is always in the S0 state when the EHC is in the D0 state. However,
when the EHC is in the D3 state, the system may be in any power management
state (including S0).
— When in D0, the Pause feature (See Section 5.19.7.1) enables dynamic
processor low-power states to be entered.
— The PLL in the EHC is disabled when entering the S3/S4/S5 states (core power
turns off).
— All core well logic is reset in the S3/S4/S5 states.
5.19.7.5
Mobile Considerations
The ICH9 USB 2.0 implementation does not behave differently in the mobile
configurations versus the desktop configurations. However, some features may be
especially useful for the mobile configurations.
• If a system (e.g., mobile) does not implement all twelve USB 2.0 ports, the ICH9
provides mechanisms for changing the structural parameters of the EHC and hiding
unused UHCI controllers. See the Intel® ICH9 BIOS Specification for information on
how BIOS should configure the ICH9.
• Mobile systems may want to minimize the conditions that will wake the system.
The ICH9 implements the “Wake Enable” bits in the Port Status and Control
registers, as specified in the EHCI spec, for this purpose.
• Mobile systems may want to cut suspend well power to some or all USB ports when
in a low-power state. The ICH9 implements the optional Port Wake Capability
Register in the EHC Configuration Space for this platform-specific information to be
communicated to software.
5.19.8
Interaction with UHCI Host Controllers
The Enhanced Host controllers share its ports with UHCI Host controllers in the ICH9.
The UHC at D29:F0 shares ports 0 and 1; the UHC at D29:F1 shares ports 2 and 3; the
UHC at D29:F2 shares ports 4 and 5 with the EHC at D29:F7, while the UHC at D26:F0
shares ports 6 and 7, the UHC at D26:F1 shares ports 8 and 9, and the UHC at D26:F2
shares ports 10 and 11 with EHC at D26:F7. There is very little interaction between the
Enhanced and the UHCI controllers other than the muxing control which is provided as
part of the EHC. Figure 5-14 shows the USB Port Connections at a conceptual level.
Note:
D26:F2 can be configured as D29:F3 during BIOS post.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
221
Functional Description
5.19.8.1
Port-Routing Logic
Integrated into the EHC functionality is port-routing logic, which performs the muxing
between the UHCI and EHCI host controllers. The ICH9 conceptually implements this
logic as described in Section 4.2 of the Enhanced Host Controller Interface Specification
for Universal Serial Bus, Revision 1.0. If a device is connected that is not capable of
USB 2.0’s high-speed signaling protocol or if the EHCI software drivers are not present
as indicated by the Configured Flag, then the UHCI controller owns the port. Owning
the port means that the differential output is driven by the owner and the input stream
is only visible to the owner. The host controller that is not the owner of the port
internally sees a disconnected port.

Note that the port-routing logic is the only block of logic within the ICH9 that observes
the physical (real) connect/disconnect information. The port status logic inside each of
the host controllers observes the electrical connect/disconnect information that is
generated by the port-routing logic.
Only the differential signal pairs are multiplexed/de-multiplexed between the UHCI and
EHCI host controllers. The other USB functional signals are handled as follows:
• The Overcurrent inputs (OC[11:0]#) are directly routed to both controllers. An
overcurrent event is recorded in both controllers’ status registers.
222
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
The Port-Routing logic is implemented in the Suspend power well so that reenumeration and re-mapping of the USB ports is not required following entering and
exiting a system sleep state in which the core power is turned off.
The ICH9 also allows the USB Debug Port traffic to be routed in and out of Port #0 and
Port#6. When in this mode, the Enhanced Host controller is the owner of Port #0 and
Port#6.
5.19.8.2
Device Connects
The Enhanced Host Controller Interface Specification for Universal Serial Bus, Revision
1.0 describes the details of handling Device Connects in Section 4.2. There are four
general scenarios that are summarized below.
1. Configure Flag = 0 and a full-speed/low-speed-only Device is connected
— In this case, the UHC is the owner of the port both before and after the connect
occurs. The EHC (except for the port-routing logic) never sees the connect
occur. The UHCI driver handles the connection and initialization process.
2. Configure Flag = 0 and a high-speed-capable Device is connected
— In this case, the UHC is the owner of the port both before and after the connect
occurs. The EHC (except for the port-routing logic) never sees the connect
occur. The UHCI driver handles the connection and initialization process. Since
the UHC does not perform the high-speed chirp handshake, the device operates
in compatible mode.
3. Configure Flag = 1 and a full-speed/low-speed-only Device is connected
— In this case, the EHC is the owner of the port before the connect occurs. The
EHCI driver handles the connection and performs the port reset. After the reset
process completes, the EHC hardware has cleared (not set) the Port Enable bit
in the EHC’s PORTSC register. The EHCI driver then writes a 1 to the Port Owner
bit in the same register, causing the UHC to see a connect event and the EHC to
see an “electrical” disconnect event. The UHCI driver and hardware handle the
connection and initialization process from that point on. The EHCI driver and
hardware handle the perceived disconnect.
4. Configure Flag = 1 and a high-speed-capable Device is connected
— In this case, the EHC is the owner of the port before, and remains the owner
after, the connect occurs. The EHCI driver handles the connection and performs
the port reset. After the reset process completes, the EHC hardware has set the
Port Enable bit in the EHC’s PORTSC register. The port is functional at this point.
The UHC continues to see an unconnected port.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
223
Functional Description
5.19.8.3
Device Disconnects
The Enhanced Host Controller Interface Specification for Universal Serial Bus, Revision
1.0 describes the details of handling Device Connects in Section 4.2. There are three
general scenarios that are summarized below.
1. Configure Flag = 0 and the device is disconnected
— In this case, the UHC is the owner of the port both before and after the
disconnect occurs. The EHC (except for the port-routing logic) never sees a
device attached. The UHCI driver handles disconnection process.
2. Configure Flag = 1 and a full-speed/low-speed-capable Device is disconnected
— In this case, the UHC is the owner of the port before the disconnect occurs. The
disconnect is reported by the UHC and serviced by the associated UHCI driver.
The port-routing logic in the EHC cluster forces the Port Owner bit to 0,
indicating that the EHC owns the unconnected port.
3. Configure Flag = 1 and a high-speed-capable Device is disconnected
— In this case, the EHC is the owner of the port before, and remains the owner
after, the disconnect occurs. The EHCI hardware and driver handle the
disconnection process. The UHC never sees a device attached.
5.19.8.4
Effect of Resets on Port-Routing Logic
As mentioned above, the Port Routing logic is implemented in the suspend power well
so that remuneration and re-mapping of the USB ports is not required following
entering and exiting a system sleep state in which the core power is turned off.

USB 2.0 Legacy Keyboard Operation
The ICH9 must support the possibility of a keyboard downstream from either a fullspeed/low-speed or a high-speed port. The description of the legacy keyboard support
is unchanged from USB 1.1 (See Section 5.18.8).
The EHC provides the basic ability to generate SMIs on an interrupt event, along with
more sophisticated control of the generation of SMIs.
224
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.19.10
USB 2.0 Based Debug Port
The ICH9 supports the elimination of the legacy COM ports by providing the ability for
new debugger software to interact with devices on a USB 2.0 port.
High-level restrictions and features are:
• Operational before USB 2.0 drivers are loaded.
• Functions even when the port is disabled.
• Works even though non-configured port is default-routed to the UHCI. Note that
the Debug Port can not be used to debug an issue that requires a full-speed/lowspeed device on Port #0 using the UHCI drivers.
• Allows normal system USB 2.0 traffic in a system that may only have one USB port.
• Debug Port device (DPD) must be high-speed capable and connect directly to Port
#0 and Port#6 on ICH9 systems (e.g., the DPD cannot be connected to
Port #0/Port#6 through a hub).
• Debug Port FIFO always makes forward progress (a bad status on USB is simply
presented back to software).
• The Debug Port FIFO is only given one USB access per microframe.
The Debug port facilitates operating system and device driver debug. It allows the
software to communicate with an external console using a USB 2.0 connection.
Because the interface to this link does not go through the normal USB 2.0 stack, it
allows communication with the external console during cases where the operating
system is not loaded, the USB 2.0 software is broken, or where the USB 2.0 software is
being debugged. Specific features of this implementation of a debug port are:
• Only works with an external USB 2.0 debug device (console)
• Implemented for a specific port on the host controller
• Operational anytime the port is not suspended AND the host controller is in D0
power state.
• Capability is interrupted when port is driving USB RESET
5.19.10.1
Theory of Operation
There are two operational modes for the USB debug port:
1. Mode 1 is when the USB port is in a disabled state from the viewpoint of a standard
host controller driver. In Mode 1, the Debug Port controller is required to generate a
“keepalive” packets less than 2 ms apart to keep the attached debug device from
suspending. The keepalive packet should be a standalone 32-bit SYNC field.
2. Mode 2 is when the host controller is running (i.e., host controller’s Run/Stop# bit
is 1). In Mode 2, the normal transmission of SOF packets will keep the debug
device from suspending.
Behavioral Rules
1. In both modes 1 and 2, the Debug Port controller must check for software
requested debug transactions at least every 125 microseconds.
2. If the debug port is enabled by the debug driver, and the standard host controller
driver resets the USB port, USB debug transactions are held off for the duration of
the reset and until after the first SOF is sent.
3. If the standard host controller driver suspends the USB port, then USB debug
transactions are held off for the duration of the suspend/resume sequence and until
after the first SOF is sent.
4. The ENABLED_CNT bit in the debug register space is independent of the similar
port control bit in the associated Port Status and Control register.

5.19.10.1.1 OUT Transactions
An Out transaction sends data to the debug device. It can occur only when the
following are true:
• The debug port is enabled
• The debug software sets the GO_CNT bit
• The WRITE_READ#_CNT bit is set
The sequence of the transaction is:
1. Software sets the appropriate values in the following bits:
— USB_ADDRESS_CNF
— USB_ENDPOINT_CNF
— DATA_BUFFER[63:0]
— TOKEN_PID_CNT[7:0]
— SEND_PID_CNT[15:8]
— DATA_LEN_CNT
— WRITE_READ#_CNT: (note: this will always be 1 for OUT transactions)
— GO_CNT: (note: this will always be 1 to initiate the transaction)
226

2. The debug port controller sends a token packet consisting of:
— SYNC
— TOKEN_PID_CNT field
— USB_ADDRESS_CNT field
— USB_ENDPOINT_CNT field
— 5-bit CRC field
3. After sending the token packet, the debug port controller sends a data packet
consisting of:
— SYNC
— SEND_PID_CNT field
— The number of data bytes indicated in DATA_LEN_CNT from the DATA_BUFFER
— 16-bit CRC
NOTE: A DATA_LEN_CNT value of 0 is valid in which case no data bytes would be

4. After sending the data packet, the controller waits for a handshake response from
the debug device.
• If a handshake is received, the debug port controller:
— a. Places the received PID in the RECEIVED_PID_STS field
— b. Resets the ERROR_GOOD#_STS bit
— c. Sets the DONE_STS bit
• If no handshake PID is received, the debug port controller:
— a. Sets the EXCEPTION_STS field to 001b

IN Transactions
An IN transaction receives data from the debug device. It can occur only when the
following are true:
• The debug port is enabled
• The debug software sets the GO_CNT bit
• The WRITE_READ#_CNT bit is reset
The sequence of the transaction is:
1. Software sets the appropriate values in the following bits:
— USB_ADDRESS_CNF
— USB_ENDPOINT_CNF
— TOKEN_PID_CNT[7:0]
— DATA_LEN_CNT
— WRITE_READ#_CNT: (note: this will always be 0 for IN transactions)
— GO_CNT: (note: this will always be 1 to initiate the transaction)

Functional Description
2. The debug port controller sends a token packet consisting of:
— SYNC
— TOKEN_PID_CNT field
— USB_ADDRESS_CNT field
— USB_ENDPOINT_CNT field
— 5-bit CRC field.
3. After sending the token packet, the debug port controller waits for a response from
the debug device.
If a response is received:
— The received PID is placed into the RECEIVED_PID_STS field
— Any subsequent bytes are placed into the DATA_BUFFER
— The DATA_LEN_CNT field is updated to show the number of bytes that were
received after the PID.
4. If a valid packet was received from the device that was one byte in length
(indicating it was a handshake packet), then the debug port controller:
— Resets the ERROR_GOOD#_STS bit
— Sets the DONE_STS bit
5. If a valid packet was received from the device that was more than one byte in
length (indicating it was a data packet), then the debug port controller:
— Transmits an ACK handshake packet
— Resets the ERROR_GOOD#_STS bit
— Sets the DONE_STS bit
6. If no valid packet is received, then the debug port controller:
— Sets the EXCEPTION_STS field to 001b
— Sets the ERROR_GOOD#_STS bit
— Sets the DONE_STS bit.
5.19.10.1.3
Debug Software
Enabling the Debug Port
There are two mutually exclusive conditions that debug software must address as part
of its startup processing:
• The EHCI has been initialized by system software
• The EHCI has not been initialized by system software
Debug software can determine the current ‘initialized’ state of the EHCI by examining
the Configure Flag in the EHCI USB 2.0 Command Register. If this flag is set, then
system software has initialized the EHCI. Otherwise the EHCI should not be considered
initialized. Debug software will initialize the debug port registers depending on the
state of the EHCI. However, before this can be accomplished, debug software must
determine which root USB port is designated as the debug port.
Determining the Debug Port
Debug software can easily determine which USB root port has been designated as the
debug port by examining bits 20:23 of the EHCI Host Controller Structural Parameters
register. This 4-bit field represents the numeric value assigned to the debug port (i.e.,
0000=port 0).
228
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
Debug Software Startup with Non-Initialized EHCI
Debug software can attempt to use the debug port if after setting the OWNER_CNT bit,
the Current Connect Status bit in the appropriate (See Determining the Debug Port)
PORTSC register is set. If the Current Connect Status bit is not set, then debug
software may choose to terminate or it may choose to wait until a device is connected.
If a device is connected to the port, then debug software must reset/enable the port.
Debug software does this by setting and then clearing the Port Reset bit the PORTSC
register. To ensure a successful reset, debug software should wait at least 50 ms before
clearing the Port Reset bit. Due to possible delays, this bit may not change to 0
immediately; reset is complete when this bit reads as 0. Software must not continue
until this bit reads 0.
If a high-speed device is attached, the EHCI will automatically set the Port Enabled/
Disabled bit in the PORTSC register and the debug software can proceed. Debug
software should set the ENABLED_CNT bit in the Debug Port Control/Status register,
and then reset (clear) the Port Enabled/Disabled bit in the PORTSC register (so that the
system host controller driver does not see an enabled port when it is first loaded).
Debug Software Startup with Initialized EHCI
Debug software can attempt to use the debug port if the Current Connect Status bit in
the appropriate (See Determining the Debug Port) PORTSC register is set. If the
Current Connect Status bit is not set, then debug software may choose to terminate or
it may choose to wait until a device is connected.
If a device is connected, then debug software must set the OWNER_CNT bit and then
the ENABLED_CNT bit in the Debug Port Control/Status register.
Determining Debug Peripheral Presence
After enabling the debug port functionality, debug software can determine if a debug
peripheral is attached by attempting to send data to the debug peripheral. If all
attempts result in an error (Exception bits in the Debug Port Control/Status register
indicates a Transaction Error), then the attached device is not a debug peripheral. If the
debug port peripheral is not present, then debug software may choose to terminate or
it may choose to wait until a debug peripheral is connected.
5.19.11
USB Pre-Fetch Based Pause
The Pre-Fetch Based Pause is a power management feature in USB (EHCI) host
controllers to ensure maximum C3/C4 processor power state time with C2 popup. This
feature applies to the period schedule, and works by allowing the DMA engine to
identify periods of idleness and preventing the DMA engine from accessing memory
when the periodic schedule is idle. Typically in the presence of periodic devices with
multiple millisecond poll periods, the periodic schedule will be idle for several frames
between polls.
The USB Pre-Fetch Based Pause feature is disabled by setting bit 4 of EHCI
Configuration Register Section 17.1.30.

Functional Description
5.19.12
Function Level Reset Support (FLR)
The USB EHCI Controllers support the Function Level Reset (FLR) capability. The FLR
capability can be used in conjunction with Intel® Virtualization Technology. FLR allows
an Operating System in a Virtual Machine to have complete control over a device,
including its initialization, without interfering with the rest of the platform. The device
provides a software interface that enables the Operating System to reset the whole
device as if a PCI reset was asserted.
5.19.12.1
FLR Steps
5.19.12.1.1 FLR Initialization
1. A FLR is initiated by software writing a ‘1’ to the Initiate FLR bit.
2. All subsequent requests targeting the Function will not be claimed and will be
Master Abort Immediate on the bus. This includes any configuration, I/O or
Memory cycles, however, the Function shall continue to accept completions
targeting the Function.
5.19.12.1.2 FLR Operation
The Function will Reset all configuration, I/O and memory registers of the Function
except those indicated otherwise and reset all internal states of the Function to the
default or initial condition.
5.19.12.1.3 FLR Completion
The Initiate FLR bit is reset (cleared) when the FLR reset is completed. This bit can be
used to indicate to the software that the FLR reset is completed.
Note:
From the time Initiate FLR bit is written to 1, software must wait at least 100 ms before
accessing the function.
5.20
SMBus Controller (D31:F3)
The ICH9 provides an System Management Bus (SMBus) 2.0 host controller as well as
an SMBus Slave Interface. The host controller provides a mechanism for the processor
to initiate communications with SMBus peripherals (slaves). The ICH9 is also capable of
operating in a mode in which it can communicate with I2C compatible devices.
The ICH9 can perform SMBus messages with either packet error checking (PEC)
enabled or disabled. The actual PEC calculation and checking is performed in hardware
by the ICH9.
The Slave Interface allows an external master to read from or write to the ICH9. Write
cycles can be used to cause certain events or pass messages, and the read cycles can
be used to determine the state of various status bits. The ICH9’s internal host
controller cannot access the ICH9’s internal Slave Interface.
The ICH9 SMBus logic exists in Device 31:Function 3 configuration space, and consists
of a transmit data path, and host controller. The transmit data path provides the data
flow logic needed to implement the seven different SMBus command protocols and is
controlled by the host controller. The ICH9 SMBus controller logic is clocked by RTC
clock.
The SMBus Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is supported by using the existing host
controller commands through software, except for the new Host Notify command
(which is actually a received message).
230
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
The programming model of the host controller is combined into two portions: a PCI
configuration portion, and a system I/O mapped portion. All static configuration, such
as the I/O base address, is done via the PCI configuration space. Real-time
programming of the Host interface is done in system I/O space.
The ICH9 SMBus host controller checks for parity errors as a target. If an error is
detected, the detected parity error bit in the PCI Status Register (Device 31:Function
3:Offset 06h:bit 15) is set. If bit 6 and bit 8 of the PCI Command Register (Device
31:Function 3:Offset 04h) are set, an SERR# is generated and the signaled SERR# bit
in the PCI Status Register (bit 14) is set.
Note:
The ICH9 SMBus Controller may stop responding if an SMBus device suddenly stops
transmitting in the middle of a packet. This could result in unexpected system behavior,
including a system hang.
5.20.1
Host Controller
The SMBus host controller is used to send commands to other SMBus slave devices.
Software sets up the host controller with an address, command, and, for writes, data
and optional PEC; and then tells the controller to start. When the controller has finished
transmitting data on writes, or receiving data on reads, it generates an SMI# or
interrupt, if enabled.
The host controller supports 8 command protocols of the SMBus interface (see System
Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0): Quick Command, Send Byte,
Receive Byte, Write Byte/Word, Read Byte/Word, Process Call, Block Read/Write, Block
Write–Block Read Process Call, and Host Notify.
The SMBus host controller requires that the various data and command fields be setup
for the type of command to be sent. When software sets the START bit, the SMBus Host
controller performs the requested transaction, and interrupts the processor (or
generates an SMI#) when the transaction is completed. Once a START command has
been issued, the values of the “active registers” (Host Control, Host Command,
Transmit Slave Address, Data 0, Data 1) should not be changed or read until the
interrupt status bit (INTR) has been set (indicating the completion of the command).
Any register values needed for computation purposes should be saved prior to issuing
of a new command, as the SMBus host controller updates all registers while completing
the new command.
The ICH9 supports the System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0.
Slave functionality, including the Host Notify protocol, is available on the SMBus pins.
The SMLink and SMBus signals can be tied together externally depending on the TCO
mode used. Refer to Section 5.14.2 for more details.
Using the SMB host controller to send commands to the ICH9’s SMB slave port is not
supported.
5.20.1.1
Command Protocols
In all of the following commands, the Host Status Register (offset 00h) is used to
determine the progress of the command. While the command is in operation, the
HOST_BUSY bit is set. If the command completes successfully, the INTR bit will be set
in the Host Status Register. If the device does not respond with an acknowledge, and
the transaction times out, the DEV_ERR bit is set. If software sets the KILL bit in the
Host Control Register while the command is running, the transaction will stop and the
FAILED bit will be set.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
231
Functional Description
Quick Command
When programmed for a Quick Command, the Transmit Slave Address Register is sent.
The PEC byte is never appended to the Quick Protocol. Software should force the
PEC_EN bit to 0 when performing the Quick Command. Software must force the
I2C_EN bit to 0 when running this command. See section 5.5.1 of the System
Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0 for the format of the protocol.
Send Byte / Receive Byte
For the Send Byte command, the Transmit Slave Address and Device Command
Registers are sent
For the Receive Byte command, the Transmit Slave Address Register is sent. The data
received is stored in the DATA0 register. Software must force the I2C_EN bit to 0 when
running this command.
The Receive Byte is similar to a Send Byte, the only difference is the direction of data
transfer. See sections 5.5.2 and 5.5.3 of the System Management Bus (SMBus)
Specification, Version 2.0 for the format of the protocol.
Write Byte/Word
The first byte of a Write Byte/Word access is the command code. The next 1 or 2 bytes
are the data to be written. When programmed for a Write Byte/Word command, the
Transmit Slave Address, Device Command, and Data0 Registers are sent. In addition,
the Data1 Register is sent on a Write Word command. Software must force the I2C_EN
bit to 0 when running this command. See section 5.5.4 of the System Management Bus
(SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0 for the format of the protocol.
Read Byte/Word
Reading data is slightly more complicated than writing data. First the ICH9 must write a
command to the slave device. Then it must follow that command with a repeated start
condition to denote a read from that device's address. The slave then returns 1 or 2
bytes of data. Software must force the I2C_EN bit to 0 when running this command.
When programmed for the read byte/word command, the Transmit Slave Address and
Device Command Registers are sent. Data is received into the DATA0 on the read byte,
and the DAT0 and DATA1 registers on the read word. See section 5.5.5 of the System
Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0 for the format of the protocol.
Process Call
The process call is so named because a command sends data and waits for the slave to
return a value dependent on that data. The protocol is simply a Write Word followed by
a Read Word, but without a second command or stop condition.
When programmed for the Process Call command, the ICH9 transmits the Transmit
Slave Address, Host Command, DATA0 and DATA1 registers. Data received from the
device is stored in the DATA0 and DATA1 registers. The Process Call command with
I2C_EN set and the PEC_EN bit set produces undefined results. Software must force
either I2C_EN or PEC_EN to 0 when running this command. See section 5.5.6 of the
System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0 for the format of the
protocol.
Note:
232
For process call command, the value written into bit 0 of the Transmit Slave Address
Register (SMB I/O register, offset 04h) needs to be 0.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
Note:
If the I2C_EN bit is set, the protocol sequence changes slightly: the Command Code
(bits 18:11 in the bit sequence) are not sent - as a result, the slave will not
acknowledge (bit 19 in the sequence).
Block Read/Write
The ICH9 contains a 32-byte buffer for read and write data which can be enabled by
setting bit 1 of the Auxiliary Control register at offset 0Dh in I/O space, as opposed to a
single byte of buffering. This 32-byte buffer is filled with write data before
transmission, and filled with read data on reception. In the ICH9, the interrupt is
generated only after a transmission or reception of 32 bytes, or when the entire byte
count has been transmitted/received.
The byte count field is transmitted but ignored by the ICH9 as software will end the
transfer after all bytes it cares about have been sent or received.
For a Block Write, software must either force the I2C_EN bit or both the PEC_EN and
AAC bits to 0 when running this command.
The block write begins with a slave address and a write condition. After the command
code the ICH9 issues a byte count describing how many more bytes will follow in the
message. If a slave had 20 bytes to send, the first byte would be the number 20 (14h),
followed by 20 bytes of data. The byte count may not be 0. A Block Read or Write is
allowed to transfer a maximum of 32 data bytes.
When programmed for a block write command, the Transmit Slave Address, Device
Command, and Data0 (count) registers are sent. Data is then sent from the Block Data
Byte register; the total data sent being the value stored in the Data0 Register. On block
read commands, the first byte received is stored in the Data0 register, and the
remaining bytes are stored in the Block Data Byte register. See section 5.5.7 of the
System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0 for the format of the
protocol.
Note:
For Block Write, if the I2C_EN bit is set, the format of the command changes slightly.
The ICH9 will still send the number of bytes (on writes) or receive the number of bytes
(on reads) indicated in the DATA0 register. However, it will not send the contents of the
DATA0 register as part of the message. Also, the Block Write protocol sequence
changes slightly: the Byte Count (bits 27:20 in the bit sequence) are not sent - as a
result, the slave will not acknowledge (bit 28 in the sequence).
I2C Read
This command allows the ICH9 to perform block reads to certain I2C devices, such as
serial E2PROMs. The SMBus Block Read supports the 7-bit addressing mode only.
However, this does not allow access to devices using the I2C “Combined Format” that
has data bytes after the address. Typically these data bytes correspond to an offset
(address) within the serial memory chips.
Note:
This command is supported independent of the setting of the I2C_EN bit. The I2C Read
command with the PEC_EN bit set produces undefined results. Software must force
both the PEC_EN and AAC bit to 0 when running this command.
For I2C Read command, the value written into bit 0 of the Transmit Slave Address
Register (SMB I/O register, offset 04h) needs to be 0.
The format that is used for the command is shown in Table 5-48.

Block Write–Block Read Process Call
The block write-block read process call is a two-part message. The call begins with a
slave address and a write condition. After the command code the host issues a write
byte count (M) that describes how many more bytes will be written in the first part of
the message. If a master has 6 bytes to send, the byte count field will have the value 6
(0000 0110b), followed by the 6 bytes of data. The write byte count (M) cannot be 0.
The second part of the message is a block of read data beginning with a repeated start
condition followed by the slave address and a Read bit. The next byte is the read byte
count (N), which may differ from the write byte count (M). The read byte count (N)
cannot be 0.
The combined data payload must not exceed 32 bytes. The byte length restrictions of
this process call are summarized as follows:
• M ≥ 1 byte
• N ≥ 1 byte
• M + N ≤ 32 bytes
The read byte count does not include the PEC byte. The PEC is computed on the total
message beginning with the first slave address and using the normal PEC
computational rules. It is highly recommended that a PEC byte be used with the Block
Write-Block Read Process Call. Software must do a read to the command register
(offset 2h) to reset the 32 byte buffer pointer prior to reading the block data register.
234
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
Note that there is no STOP condition before the repeated START condition, and that a
NACK signifies the end of the read transfer.
Note:
E32B bit in the Auxiliary Control register must be set when using this protocol.
See section 5.5.8 of the System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0
for the format of the protocol.
5.20.2
Bus Arbitration
Several masters may attempt to get on the bus at the same time by driving the
SMBDATA line low to signal a start condition. The ICH9 continuously monitors the
SMBDATA line. When the ICH9 is attempting to drive the bus to a 1 by letting go of the
SMBDATA line, and it samples SMBDATA low, then some other master is driving the bus
and the ICH9 will stop transferring data.
If the ICH9 sees that it has lost arbitration, the condition is called a collision. The ICH9
will set the BUS_ERR bit in the Host Status Register, and if enabled, generate an
interrupt or SMI#. The processor is responsible for restarting the transaction.
When the ICH9 is a SMBus master, it drives the clock. When the ICH9 is sending
address or command as an SMBus master, or data bytes as a master on writes, it drives
data relative to the clock it is also driving. It will not start toggling the clock until the
start or stop condition meets proper setup and hold time. The ICH9 will also ensure
minimum time between SMBus transactions as a master.
Note:
The ICH9 supports the same arbitration protocol for both the SMBus and the System
Management (SMLINK) interfaces.
5.20.3
Bus Timing
5.20.3.1
Clock Stretching
Some devices may not be able to handle their clock toggling at the rate that the ICH9
as an SMBus master would like. They have the capability of stretching the low time of
the clock. When the ICH9 attempts to release the clock (allowing the clock to go high),
the clock will remain low for an extended period of time.
The ICH9 monitors the SMBus clock line after it releases the bus to determine whether
to enable the counter for the high time of the clock. While the bus is still low, the high
time counter must not be enabled. Similarly, the low period of the clock can be
stretched by an SMBus master if it is not ready to send or receive data.
5.20.3.2
Bus Time Out (Intel® ICH9 as SMBus Master)
If there is an error in the transaction, such that an SMBus device does not signal an
acknowledge, or holds the clock lower than the allowed time-out time, the transaction
will time out. The ICH9 will discard the cycle and set the DEV_ERR bit. The time out
minimum is 25 ms (800 RTC clocks). The time-out counter inside the ICH9 will start
after the last bit of data is transferred by the ICH9 and it is waiting for a response.
The 25 ms timeout counter will not count under the following conditions:
1. BYTE_DONE_STATUS bit (SMBus I/O Offset 00h, bit 7) is set
2. The SECOND_TO_STS bit (TCO I/O Offset 06h, bit 1) is not set (this indicates that
the system has not locked up).
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
235
Functional Description
5.20.4
Interrupts / SMI#
The ICH9 SMBus controller uses PIRQB# as its interrupt pin. However, the system can
alternatively be set up to generate SMI# instead of an interrupt, by setting the
SMBUS_SMI_EN bit (Device 31:Function 0:Offset 40h:bit 1).
Table 5-50 and Table 5-51 specify how the various enable bits in the SMBus function
control the generation of the interrupt, Host and Slave SMI, and Wake internal signals.
The rows in the tables are additive, which means that if more than one row is true for a
particular scenario then the Results for all of the activated rows will occur.

5.20.6
SMBus CRC Generation and Checking
If the AAC bit is set in the Auxiliary Control register, the ICH9 automatically calculates
and drives CRC at the end of the transmitted packet for write cycles, and will check the
CRC for read cycles. It will not transmit the contents of the PEC register for CRC. The
PEC bit must not be set in the Host Control register if this bit is set, or unspecified
behavior will result.
If the read cycle results in a CRC error, the DEV_ERR bit and the CRCE bit in the
Auxiliary Status register at offset 0Ch will be set.
5.20.7
SMBus Slave Interface
The ICH9’s SMBus Slave interface is accessed via the SMBus. The SMBus slave logic will
not generate or handle receiving the PEC byte and will only act as a Legacy Alerting
Protocol device. The slave interface allows the ICH9 to decode cycles, and allows an
external microcontroller to perform specific actions. Key features and capabilities
include:
• Supports decode of three types of messages: Byte Write, Byte Read, and Host
Notify.
• Receive Slave Address register: This is the address that the ICH9 decodes. A
default value is provided so that the slave interface can be used without the
processor having to program this register.
• Receive Slave Data register in the SMBus I/O space that includes the data written
by the external microcontroller.
• Registers that the external microcontroller can read to get the state of the ICH9.
• Status bits to indicate that the SMBus slave logic caused an interrupt or SMI# due
to the reception of a message that matched the slave address.
— Bit 0 of the Slave Status Register for the Host Notify command
— Bit 16 of the SMI Status Register (Section 13.8.3.15) for all others
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
237
Functional Description
Note:
The external microcontroller should not attempt to access the Intel ICH9’s SMBus slave
logic until either:
— 800 milliseconds after both: RTCRST# is high and RSMRST# is high, OR
— The PLTRST# de-asserts
If a master leaves the clock and data bits of the SMBus interface at 1 for 50 µs or more
in the middle of a cycle, the ICH9 slave logic's behavior is undefined. This is interpreted
as an unexpected idle and should be avoided when performing management activities
to the slave logic.
Note:
When an external microcontroller accesses the SMBus Slave Interface over the SMBus
a translation in the address is needed to accommodate the least significant bit used for
read/write control. For example, if the ICH9 slave address (RCV_SLVA) is left at 44h
(default), the external micro controller would use an address of 88h/89h (write/read).
5.20.7.1
Format of Slave Write Cycle
The external master performs Byte Write commands to the ICH9 SMBus Slave I/F. The
“Command” field (bits 11:18) indicate which register is being accessed. The Data field
(bits 20:27) indicate the value that should be written to that register.
Table 5-52 has the values associated with the registers.

NOTE: The external microcontroller is responsible to make sure that it does not update the

WAKE/SMI#. This command wakes the system if it is not already awake. If
system is already awake, an SMI# is generated.
NOTE: The SMB_WAK_STS bit will be set by this command, even if the system is
already awake. The SMI handler should then clear this bit.
2
Unconditional Powerdown. This command sets the PWRBTNOR_STS bit, and
has the same effect as the Powerbutton Override occurring.
3
HARD RESET WITHOUT CYCLING: This command causes a hard reset of the
system (does not include cycling of the power supply). This is equivalent to a write
to the CF9h register with bits 2:1 set to 1, but bit 3 set to 0.
4
HARD RESET SYSTEM. This command causes a hard reset of the system
(including cycling of the power supply). This is equivalent to a write to the CF9h
register with bits 3:1 set to 1.
5
Disable the TCO Messages. This command will disable the Intel® ICH9 from
sending Heartbeat and Event messages (as described in Section 5.14). Once this
command has been executed, Heartbeat and Event message reporting can only be
re-enabled by assertion and deassertion of the RSMRST# signal.

8
SMLINK_SLV_SMI. When ICH9 detects this command type while in the S0 state,
it sets the SMLINK_SLV_SMI_STS bit (see Section 13.9.5). This command should
only be used if the system is in an S0 state. If the message is received during S1–
S5 states, the ICH9 acknowledges it, but the SMLINK_SLV_SMI_STS bit does not
get set.
NOTE: It is possible that the system transitions out of the S0 state at the same
time that the SMLINK_SLV_SMI command is received. In this case, the
SMLINK_SLV_SMI_STS bit may get set but not serviced before the system
goes to sleep. Once the system returns to S0, the SMI associated with this
bit would then be generated. Software must be able to handle this scenario.

Behavioral Notes
According to SMBus protocol, Read and Write messages always begin with a Start bit –
Address– Write bit sequence. When the ICH9 detects that the address matches the
value in the Receive Slave Address register, it will assume that the protocol is always
followed and ignore the Write bit (bit 9) and signal an Acknowledge during bit 10. In
other words, if a Start –Address–Read occurs (which is invalid for SMBus Read or Write
protocol), and the address matches the ICH9’s Slave Address, the ICH9 will still grab
the cycle.
Also according to SMBus protocol, a Read cycle contains a Repeated Start–Address–
Read sequence beginning at bit 20. Once again, if the Address matches the ICH9’s
Receive Slave Address, it will assume that the protocol is followed, ignore bit 28, and
proceed with the Slave Read cycle.
Note:
An external microcontroller must not attempt to access the ICH9’s SMBus Slave logic
until at least 1 second after both RTCRST# and RSMRST# are deasserted (high).
5.20.7.3
Slave Read of RTC Time Bytes
The ICH9 SMBus slave interface allows external SMBus master to read the internal
RTC’s time byte registers.
The RTC time bytes are internally latched by the ICH9’s hardware whenever RTC time is
not changing and SMBus is idle. This ensures that the time byte delivered to the slave
read is always valid and it does not change when the read is still in progress on the bus.
The RTC time will change whenever hardware update is in progress, or there is a
software write to the RTC time bytes.
The ICH9 SMBus slave interface only supports Byte Read operation. The external
SMBus master will read the RTC time bytes one after another. It is software’s
responsibility to check and manage the possible time rollover when subsequent time
bytes are read.
For example, assuming the RTC time is 11 hours: 59 minutes: 59 seconds. When the
external SMBus master reads the hour as 11, then proceeds to read the minute, it is
possible that the rollover happens between the reads and the minute is read as 0. This
results in 11 hours: 0 minute instead of the correct time of 12 hours: 0 minutes. Unless
it is certain that rollover will not occur, software is required to detect the possible time
rollover by reading multiple times such that the read time bytes can be adjusted
accordingly if needed.

Format of Host Notify Command
The ICH9 tracks and responds to the standard Host Notify command as specified in the
System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0. The host address for this
command is fixed to 0001000b. If the ICH9 already has data for a previously-received
host notify command which has not been serviced yet by the host software (as
indicated by the HOST_NOTIFY_STS bit), then it will NACK following the host address
byte of the protocol. This allows the host to communicate non-acceptance to the
master and retain the host notify address and data values for the previous cycle until
host software completely services the interrupt.
Note:
Host software must always clear the HOST_NOTIFY_STS bit after completing any
necessary reads of the address and data registers.

Intel® High Definition Audio Overview
The ICH9’s High Definition Audio (HDA) controller communicates with the external
codec(s) over the Intel High Definition Audio serial link. The controller consists of a set
of DMA engines that are used to move samples of digitally encoded data between
system memory and an external codec(s). The ICH9 implements four output DMA
engines and 4 input DMA engines. The output DMA engines move digital data from
system memory to a D-A converter in a codec. ICH9 implements a single Serial Data
Output signal (HDA_SDOUT) that is connected to all external codecs. The input DMA
engines move digital data from the A-D converter in the codec to system memory. The
ICH9 implements four Serial Digital Input signals (HDA_SDI[3:0]) supporting up to
four codecs.
Audio software renders outbound and processes inbound data to/from buffers in
system memory. The location of individual buffers is described by a Buffer Descriptor
List (BDL) that is fetched and processed by the controller. The data in the buffers is
arranged in a predefined format. The output DMA engines fetch the digital data from
memory and reformat it based on the programmed sample rate, bit/sample and
number of channels. The data from the output DMA engines is then combined and
serially sent to the external codecs over the Intel High Definition Audio link. The input
DMA engines receive data from the codecs over the Intel High Definition Audio link and
format the data based on the programmable attributes for that stream. The data is
then written to memory in the predefined format for software to process. Each DMA
engine moves one stream of data. A single codec can accept or generate multiple
streams of data, one for each A-D or D-A converter in the codec. Multiple codecs can
accept the same output stream processed by a single DMA engine.
Codec commands and responses are also transported to and from the codecs via DMA
engines.
5.21.1
Intel® High Definition Audio Docking (Mobile Only)
5.21.1.1
Dock Sequence
Note that this sequence is followed when the system is running and a docking event
occurs.
1. Since the ICH9 supports docking, the Docking Supported (DCKSTS. DS) bit defaults
to a 1. POST BIOS and ACPI BIOS software uses this bit to determine if the HD
Audio controller supports docking. BIOS may write a 0 to this RWO bit during POST
to effectively turn off the docking feature.
2. After reset in the undocked quiescent state, the Dock Attach (DCKCTL.DA) bit and
the Dock Mate (DCKSTS.DM) bit are both de-asserted. The HDA_DOCK_EN# signal
is de-asserted and HDA_DOCK_RST# is asserted. Bit Clock, SYNC and SDO signals
may or may no be running at the point in time that the docking event occurs.
3. The physical docking event is signaled to ACPI BIOS software via ACPI control
methods. This is normally done through a GPIO signal on the ICH9 and is outside
the scope of this section of the spec.
4. ACPI BIOS software first checks that the docking is supported via DCKSTS.DS=1
and that the DCKSTS.DM=0 and then initiates the docking sequence by writing a 1
to the DCKCTL.DA bit.
5. The HD Audio controller then asserts the HDA_DOCK_EN# signal so that the Bit
Clock signal begins toggling to the dock codec. HDA_DOCK_EN# shall be asserted
synchronously to Bit Clock and timed such that Bit Clock is low, SYNC is low, and
SDO is low. Pull-down resistors on these signals in the docking station discharge
the signals low so that when the state of the signal on both sides of the switch is
the same when the switch is turned on. This reduces the potential for charge

Functional Description
coupling glitches on these signals. Note that in the ICH9 the first 8 bits of the
Command field are “reserved” and always driven to 0's. This creates a predictable
point in time to always assert HDA_DOCK_EN#. Note that the HD Audio link reset
exit specification that requires that SYNC and SDO be driven low during Bit Clock
startup is not ensured. Note also that the SDO and Bit Clock signals may not be low
while HDA_DOCK_RST# is asserted which also violates the spec.
6. After the controller asserts HDA_DOCK_EN# it waits for a minimum of 2400 Bit
Clocks (100us) and then de-asserts HDA_DOCK_RST#. This is done in such a way
to meet the HD Audio link reset exit specification. HDA_DOCK_RST# de-assertion
should be synchronous to Bit Clock and timed such that there are least 4 full Bit
ClockS from the de-assertion of HDA_DOCK_RST# to the first frame SYNC
assertion.
7. The Connect/Turnaround/Address Frame hardware initialization sequence will now
occur on the dock codecs' SDI signals. A dock codec is detected when SDI is high
on the last Bit Clock cycle of the Frame Sync of a Connect Frame. The appropriate
bit(s) in the State Change Status (STATESTS) register will be set. The Turnaround
and Address Frame initialization sequence then occurs on the dock codecs' SDI(s).
8. After this hardware initialization sequence is complete (approximately 32 frames),
the controller hardware sets the DCKSTS.DM bit to 1 indicating that the dock is now
mated. ACPI BIOS polls the DCKSTS.DM bit and when it detects it is set to 1,
conveys this to the OS through a plug-N-play IRP. This eventually invokes the HD
Audio Bus Driver, which then begins it's codec discovery, enumeration, and
configuration process.
9. Alternatively to step #8, the HD Audio Bus Driver may choose to enable an
interrupt by setting the WAKEEN bits for SDINs that didn't originally have codecs
attached to them. When a corresponding STATESTS bit gets set an interrupt will be
generated. In this case the HD Audio Bus Driver is called directly by this interrupt
instead of being notified by the plug-N-play IRP.
10. HD Audio Bus Driver software “discovers” the dock codecs by comparing the bits
now set in the STATESTS register with the bits that were set prior to the docking
event.
5.21.1.2
Exiting D3/CRST# when Docked
1. In D3/CRST#, CRST# is asserted by the HD Audio Bus Driver. CRST# asserted
resets the dock state machines, but does not reset the DCKCTL.DA bit. Because the
dock state machines are reset, the dock is electrically isolated (HDA_DOCK_EN#
de-asserted) and DOCK_RST# is asserted.
2. The Bus Driver clears the STATESTS bits, then de-asserts CRST#, waits
approximately 7ms, then checks the STATESTS bits to see which codecs are
present.
3. When CRST# is de-asserted, the dock state machine detects that DCKCTL.DA is
still set and the controller hardware sequences through steps to electrically connect
the dock by asserting HDA_DOCK_EN# and then eventually de-asserts
DOCK_RST#. This completes within the 7ms mentioned in step 2).
4. The Bus Driver enumerates the codecs present as indicated via the STATESTS bits.
5. Note that this process did not require BIOS or ACPI BIOS to set the DCKCTL.DA bit.

Functional Description
5.21.1.3
Cold Boot/Resume from S3 When Docked
1. When booting and resuming from S3, PLTRST# switches from asserted to deasserted. This clears the DCKCTL.DA bit and the dock state machines. Because the
dock state machines are reset, the dock is electrically isolated (HDA_DOCK_EN#
de-asserted) and DOCK_RST# is asserted.
2. POST BIOS detects that the dock is attached and sets the DCKCTL.DA bit to 1. Note
that at this point CRST# is still asserted so the dock state machine will remain in
it's reset state.
3. The Bus Driver clears the STATESTS bits, then de-asserts CRST#, waits
approximately 7ms, then checks the STATESTS bits to see which codecs are
present.
4. When CRST# is de-asserted, the dock state machine detects that DCKCTL.DA is
still set and the controller hardware sequences through steps to electrically connect
the dock by asserting HDA_DOCK_EN# and then eventually de-asserts
DOCK_RST#. This completes within the 7ms mentioned in step 3).
5. The Bus Driver enumerates the codecs present as indicated via the STATESTS bits.
5.21.1.4
Undock Sequence
There are two possible undocking scenarios. The first is the one that is initiated by the
user that invokes software and gracefully shuts down the dock codecs before they are
undocked. The second is referred to as the “surprise undock” where the user undocks
while the dock codec is running. Both of these situations appear the same to the
controller as it is not cognizant of the “surprise removal”. But both sequences will be
discussed here.
5.21.1.4.1
Normal Undock
1. In the docked quiescent state, the Dock Attach (DCKCTL.DA) bit and the Dock Mate
(DCKSTS.DM) bit are both asserted. The HDA_DOCK_EN# signal is asserted and
HDA_DOCK_RST# is de-asserted.
2. The user initiates an undock event through the GUI interface or by pushing a
button. This mechanism is outside the scope of this section of the document. Either
way ACPI BIOS software will be invoked to manage the undock process.
3. ACPI BIOS will call the HD Audio Bus Driver software in order to halt the stream to
the dock codec(s) prior to electrical undocking. If the HD Audio Bus Driver is not
capable of halting the stream to the docked codec, ACPI BIOS will initiate the
hardware undocking sequence as described in the next step while the dock stream
is still running. From this standpoint, the result is similar to the “surprise undock”
scenario where an audio glitch may occur to the docked codec(s) during the undock
process.
4. The ACPI BIOS initiates the hardware undocking sequence by writing a 0 to the
DCKCTL.DA bit.
5. The HD Audio controller asserts HDA_DOCK_RST#. HDA_DOCK_RST# assertion
shall be synchronous to Bit Clock. There are no other timing requirements for
HDA_DOCK_RST# assertion. Note that the HD Audio link reset specification
requirement that the last Frame sync be skipped will not be met.
6. A minimum of 4 Bit Clocks after HDA_DOCK_RST# the controller will de-assert
HDA_DOCK_EN# to isolate the dock codec signals from the ICH9 HD Audio link
signals. HDA_DOCK_EN# is de-asserted synchronously to Bit Clock and timed such
that Bit Clock, SYNC, and SDO are low.
7. After this hardware undocking sequence is complete the controller hardware clears
the DCKSTS.DM bit to 0 indicating that the dock is now un-mated. ACPI BIOS
software polls DCKSTS.DM and when it sees DM set, conveys to the end user that
physical undocking can proceed. The controller is now ready for a subsequent
docking event.
246
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.21.1.4.2
Surprise Undock
1. In the surprise undock case the user undocks before software has had the
opportunity to gracefully halt the stream to the dock codec and initiate the
hardware undock sequence.
2. A signal on the docking connector is connected to the switch that isolates the dock
codec signals from the ICH9 HD Audio link signals (DOCK_DET# in the conceptual
diagram). When the undock event begins to occur the switch will be put into isolate
mode.
3. The undock event is communicated to the ACPI BIOS via ACPI control methods that
are outside the scope of this section of the document.
4. ACPI BIOS software writes a 0 to the DCKCTL.DA bit. ACPI BIOS then calls the HD
Audio Bus Driver via plug-N-play IRP. The Bus Driver then posthumously cleans up
the dock codec stream.
5. The HD Audio controller hardware is oblivious to the fact that a surprise undock
occurred. The flow from this point on is identical to the normal undocking sequence
described in section 0 starting at step 3). It finishes with the hardware clearing the
DCKSTS.DM bit set to 0 indicating that the dock is now un-mated. The controller is
now ready for a subsequent docking event.
5.21.1.5
Interaction Between Dock/Undock and Power Management States
When exiting from S3, PLTRST# will be asserted. The POST BIOS is responsible for
initiating the docking sequence if the dock is already attached when PLTRST# is deasserted. POST BIOS writes a 1 to the DCKCTL.DA bit prior to the HD Audio driver deasserting CRTS# and detecting and enumerating the codecs attached to the
HDA_DOCK_RST# signal. The HD Audio controller does not directly monitor a hardware
signal indicating that a dock is attached. Therefore a method outside the scope of this
document must be used to cause the POST BIOS to initiate the docking sequence.
When exiting from D3, CRST# will be asserted. When CRST# bit is “0” (asserted), the
DCKCTL.DA bit is not cleared. The dock state machine will be reset such that
HDA_DOCK_EN# will be de-asserted, HDA_DOCK_RST# will be asserted and the
DCKSTS.DM bit will be cleared to reflect this state. When the CRST# bit is de-asserted,
the dock state machine will detect that DCKCTL.DA is set to “1” and will begin
sequencing through the dock process. Note that this does not require any software
intervention.
5.21.1.6
Relationship between HDA_DOCK_RST# and HDA_RST#
HDA_RST# will be asserted when a PLTRST# occurs or when the CRST# bit is 0. As
long as HDA_RST# is asserted, the DOCK_RST# signal will also be asserted.
When PLTRST# is asserted, the DCKCTL.DA and DCKSTS.DM bits will be get cleared to
their default state (0's), and the dock state machine will be reset such that
HDA_DOCK_EN# will be de-asserted, and HDA_DOCK_RST# will be asserted. After any
PLTRST#, POST BIOS software is responsible for detecting that a dock is attached and
then writing a “1” to the DCKCTL.DA bit prior to the HD Audio Bus Driver de-asserting
CRST#.
When CRST# bit is “0” (asserted), the DCKCTL.DA bit is not cleared. The dock state
machine will be reset such that HDA_DOCK_EN# will be de-asserted,
HDA_DOCK_RST# will be asserted and the DCKSTS.DM bit will be cleared to reflect this
state. When the CRST# bit is de-asserted, the dock state machine will detect that
DCKCTL.DA is set to “1” and will begin sequencing through the dock process. Note that
this does not require any software intervention.

Function Level Reset Support (FLR)
The Intel® High Definition Audio Controller supports the Function Level Reset (FLR)
capability. The FLR capability can be used in conjunction with Intel Virtualization
Technology. FLR allows an Operating System in a Virtual Machine to have complete
control over a device, including its initialization, without interfering with the rest of the
platform. The device provides a software interface that enables the Operating System
to reset the whole device as if a PCI reset was asserted.
5.21.2.1
FLR Steps
5.21.2.1.1
FLR Initialization
1. A FLR is initiated by software writing a ‘1’ to the Initiate FLR bit.
2. All subsequent requests targeting the Function will not be claimed and will be
Master Abort Immediate on the bus. This includes any configuration, I/O or
Memory cycles, however, the Function shall continue to accept completions
targeting the Function.
5.21.2.1.2
FLR Operation
The Function will Reset all configuration, I/O and memory registers of the Function
except those indicated otherwise and reset all internal states of the Function to the
default or initial condition.
5.21.2.1.3
FLR Completion
The Initiate FLR bit is reset (cleared) when the FLR reset is completed. This bit can be
used to indicate to the software that the FLR reset is completed.
Note:
From the time Initiate FLR bit is written to 1, software must wait at least 100 ms before
accessing the function.

Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel®
AMT) (Digital Office Only)
Intel Active Management Technology is a set of advanced manageability features
developed as a direct result of IT customer feedback gained through Intel market
research. Reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through improved asset tracking,
remote manageability, and fewer desk-side visits were identified as key IT priorities.
Intel AMT extends the capabilities of existing management solutions by making the
asset information, remote diagnostics, recovery and contain capabilities always
available, or Out of Band (OOB), even when the system is in a low-power “off” state or
the OS is hung.
Another feature of Intel AMT is System Defense. System Defense is used to stop the
propagation of worms and viruses. Programmable packet filters in the integrated LAN
Controller are used to accomplish this. These filters inspect all incoming and all
outgoing packets and decide whether to block or pass the packets as configured. There
is no indication to the host that a packet has been blocked or accepted.
The logic can be used to accept or block reception to host or transmission to network
paths. Additionally, counter logic can be used to count the number or filter matches for
a given filter. This feature allows for statistical sampling of connections as well as rate
limiting of connections.

5.23
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a 4-pin interface that provides a potentially
lower-cost alternative for system flash versus the Firmware Hub on the LPC bus.
The 4-pin SPI interface consists of clock (CLK), master data out (Master Out Slave In
(MOSI)), master data in (Master In Slave Out (MISO)) and an active low chip select
(SPI_CS[1:0]#).
The ICH9 supports up to two SPI flash devices using two separate Chip Select pins.
Each SPI flash device can be up to 16 MBytes. The ICH9 SPI interface supports 20 MHz
and 33 MHz SPI devices.
Communication on the SPI bus is done with a Master – Slave protocol. The Slave is
connected to the ICH9 and is implemented as a tri-state bus.
Note:
When SPI is selected by the Boot BIOS Destination Strap and a SPI device is detected
by the ICH9, LPC based BIOS flash is disabled.
5.23.1
SPI Supported Feature Overview
SPI Flash on the ICH9 has two operational modes, descriptor and non-descriptor.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
249
Functional Description
5.23.1.1
Non-Descriptor Mode
Non-descriptor mode is similar to the flash functionality of ICH7. In this mode, SPI
Flash can only be used for BIOS. Direct read and writes are not supported. BIOS has
read/write access only through register accesses. Through those register accesses
BIOS can read and write to the entire flash without security checking. There is also no
support for the integrated Gigabit Ethernet, Management Engine, as well multiple SPI
Flash components.
5.23.1.2
Descriptor Mode
Descriptor Mode enables many new features of the chipset:
• Integrated Gigabit Ethernet and Host processor for Gigabit Ethernet Software
• Intel® Active Management Technology (Digital Office Only)
• Intel® Quiet System Technology
• Supports two SPI Flash components using two separate chip select pins
• Hardware enforced security restricting master accesses to different regions
• Chipset Soft Strap region provides the ability to use Flash NVM as an alternative to
hardware pull-up/pull-down resistors for both ICH and MCH
• Supports the SPI Fast Read instruction and frequencies of 33 MHz
• Uses standardized Flash Instruction Set
5.23.1.2.1
SPI Flash Regions
In Descriptor Mode the Flash is divided into five separate regions:
Region
Content
0
Flash Descriptor
1
BIOS
2
Management Engine
3
Gigabit Ethernet
4
Platform Data
Only three masters can access the four regions: Host processor running BIOS code,
Integrated Gigabit Ethernet and Host processor running Gigabit Ethernet Software, and
Management Engine. The only required region is Region 0, the Flash Descriptor. Region
0 must be located in the first sector of device 0 (offset 0).
Flash Region Sizes
SPI flash space requirements differ by platform and configuration. The Flash Descriptor
requires one 4 KB or larger block. GbE requires two 4 KB or larger blocks. The Platform
Data Region is 32 KB. The amount of flash space consumed is dependent on the erase
granularity of the flash part and the platform requirements for the ME and BIOS
regions. The ME region will contain firmware to support Intel® Advanced Fan Speed
Control, Intel® Active Management Technology (Digital Office only), ASF 2.0 and
integrated Trusted Platform Module (mobile only).

Device Partitioning
The ICH9 SPI Flash controller supports two sets of attributes in SPI flash space. This
allows for supporting an asymmetric flash component that has two separate sets of
attributes in the upper and lower part of the memory array. An example of this is a
flash part that has different erase granularities in two different parts of the memory
array. This allows for the usage of two separate flash vendors if using two different
flash parts.

Flash Descriptor
The maximum size of the Flash Descriptor is 4 KB. If the block/sector size of the SPI
flash device is greater than 4 KB, the flash descriptor will only use the first 4 KB of the
first block. The flash descriptor requires its own block at the bottom of memory
(0x00h). The information stored in the Flash Descriptor can only be written during the
manufacturing process as its read/write permissions must be set to Read only when the
computer leaves the manufacturing floor.
The Flash Descriptor is made up of eleven sections:

4. The Region section points to the three other regions as well as the size of each
region.
5. The master region contains the security settings for the flash, granting read/write
permissions for each region and identifying each master by a requestor ID. See
Section 5.23.2.1 for more information.

parameters.
8. The Reserved region between the top of the MCH strap section and the bottom of
the OEM Section is reserved for future chipset usages.
9 . The Descriptor Upper MAP determines the length and base address of the
Management Engine VSCC Table.
10. The Management Engine VSCC Table holds the JEDEC ID and the VSCC information
of the entire SPI Flash supported by the NVM image.
11. OEM Section is 256 Bytes reserved at the top of the Flash Descriptor for use by
OEM.

The master region defines read and write access setting for each region of the SPI
device. The master region recognizes three masters: BIOS, Gigabit Ethernet, and
Management Engine. Each master is only allowed to do direct reads of its primary
regions.

Flash Access
There are two types of flash accesses:
Direct Access:
• Masters are allowed to do direct read only of their primary region
— Gigabit Ethernet region can only be directly accessed by the Gigabit Ethernet
controller. Gigabit Ethernet software must use Program Registers to access the
Gigabit Ethernet region.
• Master's Host or Management Engine virtual read address is converted into the SPI
Flash Linear Address (FLA) using the Flash Descriptor Region Base/Limit registers
Program Register Access:
• Program Register Accesses are not allowed to cross a 4KB boundary and can not
issue a command that might extend across two components
• Software programs the FLA corresponding to the region desired
— Software must read the devices Primary Region Base/Limit address to create a
FLA.
5.23.3.1
Direct Access Security
• Requester ID of the device must match that of the primary Requester ID in the
Master Section
• Calculated Flash Linear Address must fall between primary region base/limit
• Direct Write not allowed
• Direct Read Cache contents are reset to 0's on a read from a different master
— Supports the same cache flush mechanism in ICH7 which includes Program
Register Writes
5.23.3.2
Register Access Security
• Only primary region masters can access the registers
Note:
Processor running Gigabit Ethernet software can access Gigabit Ethernet registers
• Masters are only allowed to read or write those regions they have read/write
permission
• Using the Flash Region Access Permissions, one master can give another master
read/write permissions to their area
• Using the five Protected Range registers, each master can add separate read/write
protection above that granted in the Flash Descriptor for their own accesses
— Example: BIOS may want to protect different regions of BIOS from being
erased
— Ranges can extend across region boundaries
5.23.4
Serial Flash Device Compatibility Requirements
A variety of serial flash devices exist in the market. For a serial flash device to be
compatible with the Intel ICH9 SPI bus, it must meet the minimum requirements
detailed in the following sections.
254
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.23.4.1
Intel® ICH9 SPI Based BIOS Requirements
A serial flash device must meet the following minimum requirements when used
explicitly for system BIOS storage.
• Erase size capability of at least one of the following: 64 Kbytes, 8 Kbytes, 4 Kbytes,
or 256 bytes.
• Device must support multiple writes to a page without requiring a preceding erase
cycle (Refer to Section 5.23.5)
• Serial flash device must ignore the upper address bits such that an address of
FFFFFFh aliases to the top of the flash memory.
• SPI Compatible Mode 0 support (clock phase is 0 and data is latched on the rising
edge of the clock).
• If the device receives a command that is not supported or incomplete (less than 8
bits), the device must complete the cycle gracefully without any impact on the flash
content.
• An erase command (page, sector, block, chip, etc.) must set all bits inside the
designated area (page, sector, block, chip, etc.) to 1 (Fh).
• Status Register bit 0 must be set to 1 when a write, erase or write to status register
is in progress and cleared to 0 when a write or erase is NOT in progress.
• Devices requiring the Write Enable command mst automatically clear the Write
Enable Latch at the end of Data Program instructions.
• Byte write must be supported. The flexibility to perform a write between 1 byte to
64 bytes is recommended.
• Hardware Sequencing requirements are optional in BIOS only platforms.
• SPI flash parts that do not meet Hardware sequencing command set requirements
may work in BIOS only platforms via software sequencing.
5.23.4.2
Integrated LAN Firmware SPI Flash Requirements
A serial flash device that will be used for system BIOS and Integrated LAN or
Integrated LAN only must meet all the SPI Based BIOS Requirements plus:
• Hardware sequencing
• 4, 8 or 64 KBytes erase capability must be supported.
5.23.4.2.1
SPI Flash Unlocking Requirements for Integrated LAN
BIOS must ensure there is no SPI flash based read/write/erase protection on the GbE
region. GbE firmware and drivers for the integrated LAN need to be able to read, write
and erase the GbE region at all times.
5.23.4.3
Intel® Management Engine Firmware SPI Flash Requirements
Intel Management Engine Firmware must meet the SPI flash based BIOS Requirements
plus:
• Hardware Sequencing.
• Flash part must be uniform 4 KB erasable block throughout the entire device or for
desktop platform only, the flash part may have 64 KB blocks with the first block
(lowest address) divided into 4 KB or 8 KB blocks.
• Write protection scheme must meet SPI flash unlocking requirements for
Management Engine.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
255
Functional Description
5.23.4.3.1
SPI Flash Unlocking Requirements for Management Engine
Flash devices must be globally unlocked (read, write and erase access on the ME
region) from power on by writing 00h to the flash’s status register to disable write
protection.
If the status register must be unprotected, it must use the enable write status register
command 50h or write enable 06h.
Opcode 01h (write to status register) must then be used to write a single byte of 00h
into the status register. This must unlock the entire part. If the SPI flash’s status
register has non-volatile bits that must be written to, bits [5:2] of the flash’s status
register must be all 0h to indicate that the flash is unlocked.
If there is no need to execute a write enable on the status register, then opcodes 06h
and 50h must be ignored.
After global unlock, BIOS has the ability to lock down small sections of the flash as long
as they do not involve the ME or GbE region.
5.23.4.4
Hardware Sequencing Requirements
The following table contains a list of commands and the associated opcodes that a SPIbased serial flash device must support in order to be compatible with hardware
sequencing.

JEDEC ID
Since each serial flash device may have unique capabilities and commands, the JEDEC
ID is the necessary mechanism for identifying the device so the uniqueness of the
device can be comprehended by the controller (master). The JEDEC ID uses the opcode
9Fh and a specified implementation and usage model. This JEDEC Standard
Manufacturer and Device ID read method is defined in Standard JESD21-C, PRN03-NV.
256
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Functional Description
5.23.5
Multiple Page Write Usage Model
The system BIOS and Intel Active Management Technology firmware (Digital Office
only) usage models require that the serial flash device support multiple writes to a
page (minimum of 512 writes) without requiring a preceding erase command. BIOS
commonly uses capabilities such as counters that are used for error logging and system
boot progress logging. These counters are typically implemented by using byte-writes
to ‘increment’ the bits within a page that have been designated as the counter. The
Intel AMT firmware usage model requires the capability for multiple data updates within
any given page. These data updates occur via byte-writes without executing a
preceding erase to the given page. Both The BIOS and Intel AMT firmware multiple
page write usage models applies to sequential and non-sequential data writes.
Note:
This usage model requirement is based on any given bit only being written once from a
‘1’ to a ‘0’without requiring the preceding erase. An erase would be required to change
bits back to the 1 state.
5.23.5.1
Soft Flash Protection
There are two types of flash protection that are not defined in the flash descriptor
supported by ICH9:
1. BIOS Range Write Protection
2. SMI#-Based Global Write Protection
Both mechanisms are logically OR’d together such that if any of the mechanisms
indicate that the access should be blocked, then it is blocked. Table 5-60 provides a
summary of the mechanisms.

status bit is set in this case.
5.23.5.2
BIOS Range Write Protection
The ICH9 provides a method for blocking writes to specific ranges in the SPI flash when
the Protected BIOS Ranges are enabled. This is achieved by checking the Opcode type
information (which can be locked down by the initial Boot BIOS) and the address of the
requested command against the base and limit fields of a Write Protected BIOS range.
Note:
Once BIOS has locked down the Protected BIOS Range registers, this mechanism
remains in place until the next system reset.
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
257
Functional Description
5.23.5.3
SMI# Based Global Write Protection
The ICH provides a method for blocking writes to the SPI flash when the Write
Protected bit is cleared (i.e., protected). This is achieved by checking the Opcode type
information (which can be locked down by the initial Boot BIOS) of the requested
command.
The Write Protect and Lock Enable bits interact in the same manner for SPI BIOS as
they do for the FWH BIOS.
5.23.6

SPI Flash Device Recommended Pinout
The table below contains the recommended serial flash device pin-out for an 8-pin
device. Use of the recommended pin-out on an 8-pin device reduces complexities
involved with designing the serial flash device onto a motherboard and allows for
support of a common footprint usage model (refer to Section 5.23.8.1).

Common Footprint Usage Model
In order to minimize platform motherboard redesign and to enable platform Bill of
Material (BOM) selectability, many PC System OEM’s design their motherboard with a
single common footprint. This common footprint allows population of a soldered down
device or a socket that accepts a leadless device. This enables the board manufacturer
to support, via selection of the appropriate BOM, either of these solutions on the same
system without requiring any board redesign.
The common footprint usage model is desirable during system debug and by flash
content developers since the leadless device can be easily removed and reprogrammed
without damage to device leads. When the board and flash content is mature for highvolume production, both the socketed leadless solution and the soldered down leaded
solution are available through BOM selection.
5.23.8.2
Serial Flash Device Package Recommendations
It is highly recommended that the common footprint usage model be supported. An
example of how this can be accomplished is as follows:
• The recommended pinout for 8-pin serial flash devices is used (refer to
Section 5.23.7).
• The 8-pin device is supported in either an 8-contact VDFPN (6x5 mm MLP) package
or an 8-contact WSON (5x6 mm) package. These packages can fit into a socket
that is land pattern compatible with the wide body SO8 package.
• The 8-pin device is supported in the SO8 (150 mil) and in the wide-body SO8 (200
mil) packages.
The 16-pin device is supported in the SO16 (300 mil) package.

5.24
Intel® Quiet System Technology (Intel® QST)
(Desktop Only)
The ICH9 implements three PWM and 4 TACH signals for Intel Quiet System Technology
(QST).
Note:
Intel Quiet System Technology functionality requires a correctly configured system,
including an appropriate (G)MCH with ME, ME Firmware, and system BIOS support.
5.24.1
PWM Outputs
This signal is driven as open-drain. An external pull-up resistor is integrated into the
fan to provide the rising edge of the PWM output signal. The PWM output is driven low
during reset, which represents 0% duty cycle to the fans. After reset de-assertion, the
PWM output will continue to be driven low until one of the following occurs:
• The internal PWM control register is programmed to a non-zero value by the Intel
QST firmware.
• The watchdog timer expires (enabled and set at 4 seconds by default).
• The polarity of the signal is inverted by the Intel QST firmware.
Note that if a PWM output will be programmed to inverted polarity for a particular fan,
then the low voltage driven during reset represents 100% duty cycle to the fan.
5.24.2
TACH Inputs
This signal is driven as an open-collector or open-drain output from the fan. An
external pull-up is expected to be implemented on the motherboard to provide the
rising edge of the TACH input. This signal has analog hysteresis and digital filtering due
to the potentially slow rise and fall times. This signal has a weak internal pull-up
resistor to keep the input buffer from floating if the TACH input is not connected to a
fan.
5.25
Thermal Sensors
ICH9 integrates two thermal sensors that monitor the temperature within its die. The
thermal sensors are used for Intel®Quiet System Technology (Intel®QST). The Intel
QST firmware can internally access the temperature measured by the sensors and use
the data as a factor to determine how to control the fans.
The ICH9 thermal sensors also provide the capability to protect the ICH9 under a
catastrophic thermal situation. When the sensors are enabled and correctly
programmed by the system BIOS, the ICH9 will shut down the system when the ICH9
thermal limit is reached. Refer to the Thermal Memory Mapped Configuration Registers
Section 23.2 for more info on the catastrophic settings.

Feature Capability Mechanism
A set of registers is included in the ICH9 LPC Interface (Device 31, Function 0, offset
E0h - EBh) that allows the system software or BIOS to easily determine the features
supported by ICH9. These registers can be accessed through LPC PCI configuration
space, thus allowing for convenient single point access mechanism for chipset feature
detection.
This set of registers consists of:
Capability ID (FDCAP)
Capability Length (FDLEN)
Capability Version and Vendor-Specific Capability ID (FDVER)
Feature Vector (FVECT)
5.27
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (Mobile Only)
The integrated TPM (TPM) implementation consists of firmware, Intel® Management
Engine resources and dedicated hardware within the ICH and the (G)MCH. The
integrated TPM supports all requirements of the TPM Specification Version 1.2, Level 2
Revision 103, as published by the Trusted Computing Group.
Note:
Integrated TPM functionality requires a correctly configured system, including an
appropriate mobile (G)MCH with Intel Management Engine firmware, ICH9M and SPI
Flash.
5.27.1
Integrated TPM Hardware Requirements
The following hardware components are required for TPM 1.2 functionality :
1. SPI Flash Memory: The SPI flash component connected to the ICH (SPI interface)
provides non-volatile storage requirement for the integrated TPM. It contains the
FW code which is loaded by the Intel Management Engine upon power on.
2. Monotonic Counters: The ICH9M contains four TPM 1.2 compliant monotonic
counters that reside in the RTC well which maintains values programmed by the
integrated TPM across power cycles. The counters are only incremented by TPM
software (host or ME) and are not controlled by the ICH hardware.
3. Physical Presence: Physical presence indication is required in order to enable
certain TPM commands. These commands are generally used to bypass owner
authorized commands when the authorization data is unavailable or to set the
integrated TPM to a non-owner state. The Management Engine Firmware uses the
CLGPIO5 pin on the ICH9M to indicate Physical Presence to the platform when
pulled high. In addition, Physical Presence flags can be set to force Physical
Presence by firmware.
4. Chipset: An ICH9M and (G)MCH with Intel Management Engine enabled is required
for integrated TPM support.
5.27.2
Enabling integrated TPM
The integrated TPM is enabled based on the combination of a functional strap on both
the ICH and the MCH and a soft strap bit found in the SPI Descriptor. When the
integrated TPM is enabled, Front Side Bus cycles that would otherwise propagate to the
LPC bus will be routed by the Config Bus Decoder to the integrated TPM Host Decoder.
Either Functional strap or the soft strap bit may be used to disable the integrated TPM.
• ICH Functional Strap: The ICH9M enables Integrated TPM when SPI_MOSI is
sampled high on the rising edge of CLPWROK and disabled if the SPI_MOSI signal is
sampled low. See Section 2.24.1 for details. The SPI_MOSI signal requires an
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
261
Functional Description
external pull-up resistor to enable the integrated TPM. SPI_MOSI has an integrated
pull-down resistor enabled at reset only and does not require an external pull-down
resistor to disable integrated TPM.
• Soft Strap: The integrated TPM Disable bit (bit 2) in the MCHSTRP0 register
(FSMBA + 0h) within the flash descriptor can act as an override to the functional
straps on both the ICH and MCH. When set, the integrated TPM will be disabled
regardless of the values of the functional straps on the ICH and/or MCH. This bit
along with both functional straps must be appropriately configured to enable
integrated TPM.
• (G)MCH Functional Strap: For (G)MCH functional strap information, consult the
appropriate MCH EDS.

NOTES:
1.
A device will timeout when any clock low exceeds this value.
2.
t137 is the cumulative time a slave device is allowed to extend the clock cycles in one
message from the initial start to stop. If a slave device exceeds this time, it is expected to
release both its clock and data lines and reset itself.
3.
t138 is the cumulative time a master device is allowed to extend its clock cycles within
each byte of a message as defined from start-to-ack, ack-to-ack or ack-to-stop.
4.
t134 has a minimum timing for I2C of 0 ns, while the minimum timing for SMBus is 300 ns.

NOTES:
1.
V5REF must be powered up before Vcc3_3, or after Vcc3_3 within 0.7 V. Also, V5REF must
power down after Vcc3_3, or before Vcc3_3 within 0.7 V.
2.
The associated 3.3 V and 1.05 V supplies are assumed to power up or down ‘together’.
3.
The VccSus supplies must never be active while the VccRTC supply is inactive.
4.
Vcc1_5 must power up before V_CPU_IO or after V_CPU_IO within 0.7 V, b) V_CPU_IO
must power down before Vcc1_5 or after Vcc1_5 within 0.7 V.
5.
INIT# value determined by value of the CPU BISTEnable bit (Chipset Configuration
Register Offset 3414h: bit 2).
6.
The associated 3.3 V and 1.05 V supplies are assumed to power up or down ‘together’.
7.
The associated 3.3 V and 1.05 V supplies are assumed to power up or down ‘together’.
8.

Electrical Characteristics
NOTES:
1.
These transitions are clocked off the internal RTC. 1 RTC clock is approximately from
28.992 µs to 32.044 µs.
2.
The ICH9 STPCLK# assertion will trigger the processor to send a stop grant acknowledge
cycle. The timing for this cycle getting to the ICH9 is dependant on the processor and the
memory controller.
3.
These transitions are clocked off the 33 MHz PCICLK. 1 PCICLK is approximately 30 ns.
4.
The ICH9 has no maximum timing requirement for this transition. It is up to the system
designer to determine if the SLP_S3#, SLP_S4# and SLP_S5# signals are used to control
the power planes.
5.
If the transition to S5 is due to Power Button Override, SLP_S3#, SLP_S4# and SLP_S5#
are asserted together similar to timing t287 (PCIRST# active to SLP_S3# active).
6.
If there is no RTC battery in the system, so VccRTC and the VccSus supplies come up
together, the delay from RTCRST# and RSMRST# inactive to SUSCLK toggling may be as
much as 2.5 s.
7.
This value is programmable in multiples of 1024 PCI CLKs. Maximum is 8192 PCI CLKs
(245.6 µs).
8.
The Min/Max times depend on the programming of the “SLP_S4# Minimum Assertion
Width” and the “SLP_S4# Assertion Stretch Enable bits (D31:F0:A4h bits 5:3)”.
9.
Note that this does not apply for synchronous SMIs.
10.
This is a clock generator specification
11.
If the (G)MCH does not have the CPUSLP# signal, then the minimum value can be
16 PCICLK.
12.
This is non-zero to enforce the minimum assert time for DPRSLPVR. If the minimum assert
time for DPRSLPVR has been met, then this is permitted to be 0.
13.
This is non-zero to enforce the minimum assert time for STP_CPU#. If the minimum assert
time for STP_CPU# has been met, then this is permitted to be 0.
14.
This value should be at most a few clocks greater than the minimum.
15.
When AMT enabled, S4_STATE# indicates if system is in S4 state or below. (Digital Office
Only).
16.
For t234 and t298, the SLP_M# stretching logic can push the Max value much larger than
the Min (e.g., up to 3 seconds). With the installation of the Intel Manageability Engine
firmware, the Max value of t234 and t298 is 99 ms. Without the installation of the
firmware, the Max value is 4 RTC clocks.
17.
RSMRST# must de-assert at or before LAN_RST# de-assertion.
18.
Measured from VccLAN3_3 or VccLAN1_05 power within voltage spec (which ever is later
in time) to LAN_RST# = (Vih+Vil)/2. It is acceptable to use an RC circuit sourced from
VccLAN3_3 to create LAN_RST#. The rising edge of LAN_RST# needs to be a clean,
monotonic edge for frequency content below 10 MHz.
19.
If Integrated LAN is supported, LAN_RST# must be de-asserted at or before PWROK
assertion.
20.
If Integrated LAN is not supported, LANRST# should be tied to ground and must never deassert
21.
RSMRST# falling edge must transition to 0.8 V or less before VccSus3_3 drops to 2.1 V
22.
If bit 0 of Section 13.8.1.3 is set to a 1, SLP_S5# will not be de-asserted until a wake
event is detected. If bit 0 is set to 0, SLP_S5# will de-assert within the specification listed
in the table.
23.
t290 and t294 are not applied to V5REF. V5REF timings are bonded by power sequencing.
t290 and t294 apply during S0 to G3 transitions only.
24.
t307 is applicable in S0 to Sx transitions.
25.
A power rail is considered to be inactive when the rail is at its normal voltage minus 5% or
less.

Register and Memory Mapping
9
Register and Memory Mapping
The ICH9 contains registers that are located in the processor’s I/O space and memory
space and sets of PCI configuration registers that are located in PCI configuration
space. This chapter describes the ICH9 I/O and memory maps at the register-set level.
Register access is also described. Register-level address maps and Individual register
bit descriptions are provided in the following chapters. The following notations and
definitions are used in the register/instruction description chapters.
RO
Read Only. In some cases, if a register is read only, writes to this
register location have no effect. However, in other cases, two
separate registers are located at the same location where a read
accesses one of the registers and a write accesses the other
register. See the I/O and memory map tables for details.
WO
Write Only. In some cases, if a register is write only, reads to this
register location have no effect. However, in other cases, two
separate registers are located at the same location where a read
accesses one of the registers and a write accesses the other
register. See the I/O and memory map tables for details.
R/W
Read/Write. A register with this attribute can be read and
written.
R/WC
Read/Write Clear. A register bit with this attribute can be read
and written. However, a write of 1 clears (sets to 0) the
corresponding bit and a write of 0 has no effect.
R/WO
Read/Write-Once. A register bit with this attribute can be
written only once after power up. After the first write, the bit
becomes read only.
R/WLO
Read/Write, Lock-Once. A register bit with this attribute can be
written to the non-locked value multiple times, but to the locked
value only once. After the locked value has been written, the bit
becomes read only.
Reserved
The value of reserved bits must never be changed. For details
see Section 9.2.
Default
When ICH9 is reset, it sets its registers to predetermined default
states. 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 to determine
configuration, operating parameters, and optional system
features that are applicable, and to program the ICH9 registers
accordingly.
Bold
Register bits that are highlighted in bold text indicate that the
bit is implemented in the ICH9. Register bits that are not
implemented or are hardwired will remain in plain text.

PCI Devices and Functions
The Intel ICH9 incorporates a variety of PCI devices and functions, as shown in
Table 9-1. They are divided into seven logical devices. The first is the DMI-To-PCI
bridge (Device 30). The second device (Device 31) contains most of the standard PCI
functions that always existed in the PCI-to-ISA bridges (South Bridges), such as the
Intel PIIX4. The third and fourth (Device 29 and Device 26) are the USB and USB2 host
controller devices. The fifth (Device 28) is PCI Express device. The sixth (Device 27) is
HD Audio controller device, and the seventh (Device 25) is the Gigabit Ethernet
controller device.
If for some reason, the particular system platform does not want to support any one of
the Device Functions, with the exception of D30:F0, they can individually be disabled.
The integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller will be disabled if no Platform LAN Connect
component is detected (See Chapter 5.3). When a function is disabled, it does not
appear at all to the software. A disabled function will not respond to any register reads
or writes, insuring that these devices appear hidden to software.

The ICH9 can optionally configure the USB ports from a 6-6 configuration into a 8-4
configuration, with 8 ports on D29:F7 EHCI and 4 ports on D26:F7 EHCI. In the 8-4
configuration UHCI #6 will be mapped to D29:F3. In the 6-6 configuration UHCI #6 will be
mapped to D26:F2.
SATA controller 2 (D31:F5) is only visible in ICH9 desktop components and when D31:F2
CC.SCC=01h.
PCI Configuration Map
Each PCI function on the ICH9 has a set of PCI configuration registers. The register
address map tables for these register sets are included at the beginning of the chapter
for the particular function.
Configuration Space registers are accessed through configuration cycles on the PCI bus
by the Host bridge using configuration mechanism #1 detailed in the PCI Local Bus
Specification, Revision 2.3.
Some of the PCI registers contain reserved bits. 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 the software does not need to perform
read, merge, write operation for the configuration address register.
In addition to reserved bits within a register, the configuration space contains reserved
locations. Software should not write to reserved PCI configuration locations in the
device-specific region (above address offset 3Fh).
9.3
I/O Map
The I/O map is divided into Fixed and Variable address ranges. Fixed ranges cannot be
moved, but in some cases can be disabled. Variable ranges can be moved and can also
be disabled.
9.3.1
Fixed I/O Address Ranges
Table 9-2 shows the Fixed I/O decode ranges from the processor perspective. Note that
for each I/O range, there may be separate behavior for reads and writes. DMI (Direct
Media Interface) cycles that go to target ranges that are marked as “Reserved” will not
be decoded by the ICH9, and will be passed to PCI unless the Subtractive Decode Policy
bit is set (D31:F0:Offset 42h, bit 0). If a PCI master targets one of the fixed I/O target
ranges, it will be positively decoded by the ICH9 in medium speed.
Address ranges that are not listed or marked “Reserved” are not decoded by the ICH9
(unless assigned to one of the variable ranges).

Variable I/O Decode Ranges
Table 9-3 shows the Variable I/O Decode Ranges. They are set using Base Address
Registers (BARs) or other configuration bits in the various PCI configuration spaces.
The PNP software (PCI or ACPI) can use their configuration mechanisms to set and
adjust these values.
Warning:
The Variable I/O Ranges should not be set to conflict with the Fixed I/O Ranges.
Unpredictable results if the configuration software allows conflicts to occur. The ICH9
does not perform any checks for conflicts.

Memory Map
Table 9-4 shows (from the processor perspective) the memory ranges that the ICH9
decodes. Cycles that arrive from DMI that are not directed to any of the internal
memory targets that decode directly from DMI will be driven out on PCI unless the
Subtractive Decode Policy bit is set (D31:F0:Offset 42h, bit 0).
PCI cycles generated by external PCI masters will be positively decoded unless they fall
in the PCI-to-PCI bridge memory forwarding ranges (those addresses are reserved for
PCI peer-to-peer traffic). If the cycle is not in the internal LAN controller’s range, it will
be forwarded up to DMI. Software must not attempt locks to the ICH9’s memorymapped I/O ranges for EHCI and HPET. If attempted, the lock is not honored which
means potential deadlock conditions may occur.

PCI is the target when the Boot BIOS Destination selection bits are set to 10b (Chipset
Config Registers:Offset 3401 bits 11:10). When PCI selected, the Firmware Hub Decode
Enable bits have no effect.
9.4.1
Boot-Block Update Scheme
The ICH9 supports a “top-block swap” mode that has the ICH9 swap the top block in
the Firmware Hub (the boot block) with another location. This allows for safe update of
the Boot Block (even if a power failure occurs). When the “TOP_SWAP” Enable bit is
set, the ICH9 will invert A16 for cycles targeting Firmware Hub space. When this bit is
0, the ICH9 will not invert A16. This bit is automatically set to 0 by RTCRST#, but not
by PLTRST#.
The scheme is based on the concept that the top block is reserved as the “boot” block,
and the block immediately below the top block is reserved for doing boot-block
updates.
340
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Datasheet
Register and Memory Mapping
The algorithm is:
1. Software copies the top block to the block immediately below the top
2. Software checks that the copied block is correct. This could be done by performing
a checksum calculation.
3. Software sets the TOP_SWAP bit. This will invert A16 for cycles going to the
Firmware Hub. processor access to FFFF_0000h through FFFF_FFFFh will be
directed to FFFE_0000h through FFFE_FFFFh in the Firmware Hub, and processor
accesses to FFFE_0000h through FFFE_FFFF will be directed to FFFF_0000h
through FFFF_FFFFh.
4. Software erases the top block
5. Software writes the new top block
6. Software checks the new top block
7. Software clears the TOP_SWAP bit
8. Software sets the Top_Swap Lock-Down bit
If a power failure occurs at any point after step 3, the system will be able to boot from
the copy of the boot block that is stored in the block below the top. This is because the
TOP_SWAP bit is backed in the RTC well.
Note:
The top-block swap mode may be forced by an external strapping option (See
Section 2.24.1). When top-block swap mode is forced in this manner, the TOP_SWAP
bit cannot be cleared by software. A re-boot with the strap removed will be required to
exit a forced top-block swap mode.
Note:
Top-block swap mode only affects accesses to the Firmware Hub space, not feature
space.
Note:
The top-block swap mode has no effect on accesses below FFFE_0000h.

Chipset Configuration Registers
This section describes all registers and base functionality that is related to chipset
configuration and not a specific interface (such as LPC, PCI, or PCI Express*). It
contains the root complex register block, which describes the behavior of the upstream
internal link.
This block is mapped into memory space, using the Root Complex Base Address (RCBA)
register of the PCI-to-LPC bridge. Accesses in this space must be limited to 32-(DW) bit
quantities. Burst accesses are not allowed.
All Chipset Configuration Registers are located in the core well unless otherwise
indicated.

not fixed. BIOS may re-assign the function numbers on a port by port basis. This
capability will allow BIOS to disable/hide any root port and still have functions 0 thru N1 where N is the total number of enabled root ports.
Port numbers will remain fixed to a physical root port.
The existing root port Function Disable registers operate on physical ports (not
functions).
Port Configuration (1x4, 4x1, etc.) is not affected by the logical function number
assignment and is associated with physical ports.

LPC
When PCI is selected, the top 16MB of memory below 4GB (FF00_0000h to
FFFF_FFFFh) is accepted by the primary side of the PCI P2P bridge and forwarded to
the PCI bus. This allows systems with corrupted or unprogrammed flash to boot from
a PCI device. The PCI-to-PCI bridge Memory Space Enable bit does not need to be set
(nor any other bits) in order for these cycles to go to PCI. Note that BIOS decode
range bits and the other BIOS protection bits have no effect when PCI is selected.
This functionality is intended for debug/testing only.
When SPI or LPC is selected, the range that is decoded is further qualified by other
configuration bits described in the respective sections.
The value in this field can be overwritten by software as long as the BIOS Interface
Lock-Down (bit 0) is not set.
NOTE: Booting to PCI is intended for debug/testing only. Boot BIOS Destination
Select to LPC/PCI by functional strap or via Boot BIOS Destination Bit will not
affect SPI accesses initiated by Management Engine or Integrated GbE LAN.
Server Error Reporting Mode (SERM) — R/W.
9
8:7
0 = The Intel® ICH9 is the final target of all errors. The (G)MCH sends a messages to
the ICH for the purpose of generating NMI.
1 = The (G)MCH is the final target of all errors from PCI Express* and DMI. In this
mode, if the ICH9 detects a fatal, non-fatal, or correctable error on DMI or its
downstream ports, it sends a message to the (G)MCH. If the ICH9 receives an
ERR_* message from the downstream port, it sends that message to the
(G)MCH.
Reserved
FERR# MUX Enable (FME) — R/W. This bit enables FERR# to be a processor break
event indication.

Description
No Reboot (NR) — R/W. This bit is set when the “No Reboot” strap (SPKR pin on
ICH9) is sampled high on PWROK. This bit may be set or cleared by software if the
strap is sampled low but may not override the strap when it indicates “No Reboot”.
0 = System will reboot upon the second timeout of the TCO timer.
1 = The TCO timer will count down and generate the SMI# on the first timeout, but
will not reboot on the second timeout.
Alternate Access Mode Enable (AME) — R/W.
4
3
0 = Disabled.
1 = Alternate access read only registers can be written, and write only registers can
be read. Before entering a low power state, several registers from powered down
parts may need to be saved. In the majority of cases, this is not an issue, as
registers have read and write paths. However, several of the ISA compatible
registers are either read only or write only. To get data out of write-only
registers, and to restore data into read-only registers, the ICH implements an
alternate access mode. For a list of these registers see Section 5.13.10.
Shutdown Policy Select (SPS) — R/W. When cleared (default), the ICH9 will drive
INIT# in response to the shutdown Vendor Defined Message (VDM). When set to 1,
ICH9 will treat the shutdown VDM similar to receiving a CF9h I/O write with data
value06h, and will drive PLTRST# active.
Reserved Page Route (RPR) — R/W. Determines where to send the reserved page
registers. These addresses are sent to PCI or LPC for the purpose of generating POST
codes. The I/O addresses modified by this field are: 80h, 84h, 85h, 86h, 88h, 8Ch,
8Dh, and 8Eh.
2
0 = Writes will be forwarded to LPC, shadowed within the ICH, and reads will be
returned from the internal shadow
1 = Writes will be forwarded to PCI, shadowed within the ICH, and reads will be
returned from the internal shadow.
Note, if some writes are done to LPC/PCI to these I/O ranges, and then this bit is
flipped, such that writes will now go to the other interface, the reads will not return
what was last written. Shadowing is performed on each interface.
The aliases for these registers, at 90h, 94h, 95h, 96h, 98h, 9Ch, 9Dh, and 9Eh, are
always decoded to LPC.

The UHCI functions must be disabled from highest function number to lowest within
each PCI device (Device 29 or Device 26). For example, if only two UHCIs are wanted
on Device 29, software must disable UHCI #3 (UD3 bit set). When disabling UHCIs, the
EHCI Structural Parameters Registers must be updated with coherent information in
“Number of Companion Controllers” and “N_Ports” fields.
When disabling a function, only the configuration space is disabled. Software must
ensure that all functionality within a controller that is not desired (such as memory
spaces, I/O spaces, and DMA engines) is disabled prior to disabling the function.
When a function is disabled, software must not attempt to re-enable it. A disabled
function can only be re-enabled by a platform reset.

Description
Detected Parity Error (DPE) — R/WC.
15
0 = Parity error Not detected.
1 = Indicates that the ICH9 detected a parity error on the internal backbone. This bit
gets set even if the Parity Error Response bit (D30:F0:04 bit 6) is not set.
Signaled System Error (SSE) — R/WC. Several internal and external sources of the
bridge can cause SERR#. The first class of errors is parity errors related to the
backbone. The PCI bridge captures generic data parity errors (errors it finds on the
backbone) as well as errors returned on backbone cycles where the bridge was the
master. If either of these two conditions is met, and the primary side of the bridge is
enabled for parity error response, SERR# will be captured as shown below.
As with the backbone, the PCI bus captures the same sets of errors. The PCI bridge
captures generic data parity errors (errors it finds on PCI) as well as errors returned on
PCI cycles where the bridge was the master. If either of these two conditions is met,
and the secondary side of the bridge is enabled for parity error response, SERR# will be
captured as shown below.
14
The final class of errors is system bus errors. There are three status bits associated with
system bus errors, each with a corresponding enable. The diagram capturing this is
shown below.
After checking for the three above classes of errors, an SERR# is generated, and
PSTS.SSE logs the generation of SERR#, if CMD.SEE (D30:F0:04, bit 8) is set, as shown
below.

Discard Timer SERR# Enable (DTE) — R/W. Controls the generation of SERR# on
the primary interface in response to the DTS bit being set:
0 = Do not generate SERR# on a secondary timer discard
1 = Generate SERR# in response to a secondary timer discard
Discard Timer Status (DTS) — R/WC. This bit is set to 1 when the secondary discard
timer (see the SDT bit below) expires for a delayed transaction in the hard state.
Secondary Discard Timer (SDT) — R/W. This bit sets the maximum number of PCI
clock cycles that the Intel® ICH9 waits for an initiator on PCI to repeat a delayed
transaction request. The counter starts once the delayed transaction data is has been
returned by the system and is in a buffer in the ICH9 PCI bridge. If the master has not
repeated the transaction at least once before the counter expires, the ICH9 PCI bridge
discards the transaction from its queue.
0 = The PCI master timeout value is between 215 and 216 PCI clocks
1 = The PCI master timeout value is between 210 and 211 PCI clocks

Primary Discard Timer (PDT) — R/W. This bit is R/W for software compatibility only.
7
Fast Back to Back Enable (FBE) — RO. Hardwired to 0. The PCI logic will not generate
fast back-to-back cycles on the PCI bus.
Secondary Bus Reset (SBR) — R/W. Controls PCIRST# assertion on PCI.
6
0 = Bridge de-asserts PCIRST#
1 = Bridge asserts PCIRST#. When PCIRST# is asserted, the delayed transaction
buffers, posting buffers, and the PCI bus are initialized back to reset conditions.
The rest of the part and the configuration registers are not affected.
Master Abort Mode (MAM) — R/W. Controls the ICH9 PCI bridge’s behavior when a
master abort occurs:
Master Abort on (G)MCH/ICH9 Interconnect (DMI):
0 = Bridge asserts TRDY# on PCI. It drives all 1s for reads, and discards data on writes.
1 = Bridge returns a target abort on PCI.
5
Master Abort PCI (non-locked cycles):
0 = Normal completion status will be returned on the (G)MCH/ICH9 interconnect.
1 = Target abort completion status will be returned on the (G)MCH/ICH9 interconnect.
NOTE: All locked reads will return a completer abort completion status on the (G)MCH/
ICH9 interconnect.

Memory addresses: 000A0000h-000BFFFFh
I/O addresses: 3B0h-3BBh and 3C0h-3DFh. For the I/O addresses, bits [63:16] of the address
must be 0, and bits [15:10] of the address are ignored (i.e., aliased).
The same holds true from secondary accesses to the primary interface in reverse. That
is, when the bit is 0, memory and I/O addresses on the secondary interface between
the above ranges will be claimed.

ISA Enable (IE) — R/W. This bit only applies to I/O addresses that are enabled by the
I/O Base and I/O Limit registers and are in the first 64 KB of PCI I/O space. If this bit is

1 = Intel® ICH9 hides device 0 on the PCI bus. This is done by masking the IDSEL
(keeping it low) for configuration cycles to that device. Since the device will not see
its IDSEL go active, it will not respond to PCI configuration cycles and the
processor will think the device is not present. AD[16] is used as IDSEL for device 0.

Upstream Read Latency Threshold (URLT) — R/W: This field specifies the number
of PCI clocks after internally enqueuing an upstream memory read request at which
point the PCI target logic should insert wait states in order to optimize lead-off latency.
When the master returns after this threshold has been reached and data has not
arrived in the Delayed Transaction completion queue, then the PCI target logic will
insert wait states instead of immediately retrying the cycle. The PCI target logic will
insert up to 16 clocks of target initial latency (from FRAME# assertion to TRDY# or
STOP# assertion) before retrying the PCI read cycle (if the read data has not arrived
yet).
Note that the starting event for this Read Latency Timer is not explicitly visible
externally.
A value of 0h disables this policy completely such that wait states will never be inserted
on the read lead-off data phase.
The default value (12h) specifies 18 PCI clocks (540 ns) and is approximately 4 clocks
less than the typical idle lead-off latency expected for desktop ICH9 systems. This value
may need to be changed by BIOS, depending on the platform.
Subtractive Decode Policy (SDP) — R/W.
0 = The PCI bridge always forwards memory and I/O cycles that are not claimed by any
other device on the backbone (primary interface) to the PCI bus (secondary

Description
Base and Current Address — R/W. This register determines the address for the
transfers to be performed. The address specified points to two separate registers. On
writes, the value is stored in the Base Address register and copied to the Current
Address register. On reads, the value is returned from the Current Address register.
15:0
The address increments/decrements in the Current Address register after each transfer,
depending on the mode of the transfer. If the channel is in auto-initialize mode, the
Current Address register will be reloaded from the Base Address register after a
terminal count is generated.
For transfers to/from a 16-bit slave (channel’s 5-7), the address is shifted left one bit
location. Bit 15 will be shifted into Bit 16.
The register is accessed in 8 bit quantities. The byte is pointed to by the current byte
pointer flip/flop. Before accessing an address register, the byte pointer flip/flop should
be cleared to ensure that the low byte is accessed first

Description
Base and Current Count — R/W. This register determines the number of transfers to
be performed. The address specified points to two separate registers. On writes, the
value is stored in the Base Count register and copied to the Current Count register. On
reads, the value is returned from the Current Count register.
15:0
The actual number of transfers is one more than the number programmed in the Base
Count Register (i.e., programming a count of 4h results in 5 transfers). The count is
decrements in the Current Count register after each transfer. When the value in the
register rolls from 0 to FFFFh, a terminal count is generated. If the channel is in autoinitialize mode, the Current Count register will be reloaded from the Base Count
register after a terminal count is generated.
For transfers to/from an 8-bit slave (channels 0–3), the count register indicates the
number of bytes to be transferred. For transfers to/from a 16-bit slave (channels 5–7),
the count register indicates the number of words to be transferred.
The register is accessed in 8 bit quantities. The byte is pointed to by the current byte
pointer flip/flop. Before accessing a count register, the byte pointer flip/flop should be
cleared to ensure that the low byte is accessed first.

simultaneously enabled/disabled instead of enabling/disabling each channel
individually, as is the case with the Mask Register – Write Single Mask Bit. In addition,
this register has a read path to allow the status of the channel mask bits to be read. A
channel's mask bit is automatically set to 1 when the Current Byte/Word Count Register
reaches terminal count (unless the channel is in auto-initialization mode).

RDBK_CMD—Read Back Command (LPC I/F—D31:F0)
The Read Back Command is used to determine the count value, programmed mode,
and current states of the OUT pin and Null count flag of the selected counter or
counters. Status and/or count may be latched in any or all of the counters by selecting
the counter during the register write. The count and status remain latched until read,
and further latch commands are ignored until the count is read. Both count and status
of the selected counters may be latched simultaneously by setting both bit 5 and bit 4
to 0. If both are latched, the first read operation from that counter returns the latched
status. The next one or two reads, depending on whether the counter is programmed
for one or two byte counts, returns the latched count. Subsequent reads return an
unlatched count.

LTCH_CMD—Counter Latch Command (LPC I/F—D31:F0)
The Counter Latch Command latches the current count value. This command is used to
insure that the count read from the counter is accurate. The count value is then read
from each counter's count register through the Counter Ports Access Ports Register
(40h for counter 0, 41h for counter 1, and 42h for counter 2). The count must be read
according to the programmed format, i.e., if the counter is programmed for two byte
counts, two bytes must be read. The two bytes do not have to be read one right after
the other (read, write, or programming operations for other counters may be inserted
between the reads). If a counter is latched once and then latched again before the
count is read, the second Counter Latch Command is ignored.

ICW2 is used to initialize the interrupt controller with the five most significant bits of
the interrupt vector address. The value programmed for bits[7:3] is used by the

During an interrupt acknowledge cycle, these bits are programmed by the interrupt
controller with the interrupt to be serviced. This is combined with bits [7:3] to form the
interrupt vector driven onto the data bus during the second INTA# cycle. The code is a

the channel for the command to act upon. When the SL bit is inactive, these bits do not
have a defined function; programming L2, L1 and L0 to 0 is sufficient in this case.

acknowledge cycle. An encoded byte is driven onto the data bus, representing the
highest priority level requesting service.
Register Read Command — WO. These bits provide control for reading the In-Service
Register (ISR) and the Interrupt Request Register (IRR). When bit 1=0, bit 0 will not
affect the register read selection. When bit 1=1, bit 0 selects the register status
returned following an OCW3 read. If bit 0=0, the IRR will be read. If bit 0=1, the ISR
will be read. Following ICW initialization, the default OCW3 port address read will be
“read IRR”. To retain the current selection (read ISR or read IRR), always write a 0 to
bit 1 when programming this register. The selected register can be read repeatedly
without reprogramming OCW3. To select a new status register, OCW3 must be
reprogrammed prior to attempting the read.

The EOI register is present to provide a mechanism to maintain the level triggered
semantics for level-triggered interrupts issued on the parallel bus.
When a write is issued to this register, the I/O APIC will check the lower 8 bits written
to this register, and compare it with the vector field for each entry in the I/O
Redirection Table. When a match is found, the Remote_IRR bit (Index Offset 10h, bit
14) for that I/O Redirection Entry will be cleared.
Note:
If multiple I/O Redirection entries, for any reason, assign the same vector for more
than one interrupt input, each of those entries will have the Remote_IRR bit reset to 0.
The interrupt which was prematurely reset will not be lost because if its input remained
active when the Remote_IRR bit is cleared, the interrupt will be reissued and serviced
at a later time. Note: Only bits 7:0 are actually used. Bits 31:8 are ignored by the
ICH9.
Note:
To provide for future expansion, the processor should always write a value of 0 to Bits
31:8.

The Redirection Table has a dedicated entry for each interrupt input pin. The
information in the Redirection Table is used to translate the interrupt manifestation on
the corresponding interrupt pin into an APIC message.
The APIC will respond to an edge triggered interrupt as long as the interrupt is held
until after the acknowledge cycle has begun. Once the interrupt is detected, a delivery
status bit internally to the I/O APIC is set. The state machine will step ahead and wait
for an acknowledgment from the APIC unit that the interrupt message was sent. Only
then will the I/O APIC be able to recognize a new edge on that interrupt pin. That new
edge will only result in a new invocation of the handler if its acceptance by the
destination APIC causes the Interrupt Request Register bit to go from 0 to 1.
(In other words, if the interrupt was not already pending at the destination.)
Bit
Description
63:56
Destination — R/W. If bit 11 of this entry is 0 (Physical), then bits 59:56 specifies an
APIC ID. In this case, bits 63:59 should be programmed by software to 0.
If bit 11 of this entry is 1 (Logical), then bits 63:56 specify the logical destination
address of a set of processors.

0 = Not masked: An edge or level on this interrupt pin results in the delivery of the
interrupt to the destination.
1 = Masked: Interrupts are not delivered nor held pending. Setting this bit after the
interrupt is accepted by a local APIC has no effect on that interrupt. This behavior
is identical to the device withdrawing the interrupt before it is posted to the
processor. It is software's responsibility to deal with the case where the mask bit is
set after the interrupt message has been accepted by a local APIC unit but before
the interrupt is dispensed to the processor.
Trigger Mode — R/W. This field indicates the type of signal on the interrupt pin that
triggers an interrupt.
0 = Edge triggered.
1 = Level triggered.
Remote IRR — R/W. This bit is used for level triggered interrupts; its meaning is
undefined for edge triggered interrupts.
0 = Reset when an EOI message is received from a local APIC.
1 = Set when Local APIC/s accept the level interrupt sent by the I/O APIC.
Interrupt Input Pin Polarity — R/W. This bit specifies the polarity of each interrupt
signal connected to the interrupt pins.
0 = Active high.
1 = Active low.
Delivery Status — RO. This field contains the current status of the delivery of this

100 =
NMI. Deliver the signal on the NMI signal of all processor cores listed in the destination.
Vector information is ignored. NMI is treated as an edge triggered interrupt even if it is
programmed as level triggered. For proper operation this redirection table entry must be
programmed to edge triggered. The NMI delivery mode does not set the RIRR bit. If the
redirection table is incorrectly set to level, the loop count will continue counting through
the redirection table addresses. Once the count for the NMI pin is reached again, the
interrupt will be sent again: not supported
101 =
INIT. Deliver the signal to all processor cores listed in the destination by asserting the
INIT signal. All addressed local APICs will assume their INIT state. INIT is always treated
as an edge triggered interrupt even if programmed as level triggered. For proper
operation this redirection table entry must be programmed to edge triggered. The INIT
delivery mode does not set the RIRR bit. If the redirection table is incorrectly set to level,
the loop count will continue counting through the redirection table addresses. Once the
count for the INIT pin is reached again, the interrupt will be sent again: not supported
110 =
