PC87373
PC87373 is LPC Super I/O manufactured by National Semiconductor.
Description The National PC87373 Advanced I/O product is a member of the PC8737x Super I/O family. All PC8737x devices are highly integrated and are pin and software patible, thus providing drop-in interchangeability and enabling a variety of assembly options using only a single motherboard and BIOS. PC87373 integration allows for a smaller system board size and saves on total system cost. The PC87373 includes legacy Super I/O functions, system glue functions, fan monitoring and control, monly used functions such as GPIO, and ACPI-pliant Power Management support. The PC87373 integrates miscellaneous analog and digital system glue functions to reduce the number of discrete ponents required. The host municates with the functions integrated in the PC87373 device through an LPC Bus Interface. The PC87373 Legacy functions are: two serial ports, a fully pliant IEEE 1284 Parallel Port, a Floppy Disk Controller (FDC), a Keyboard/Mouse Controller (KBC), a Game Port and a MIDI Port. The Fan Speed Control and Monitor (FSCM) module allows the system to monitor and control three fans. Semiconductor® The PC87373 extended wake-up support plements the ACPI controller in the chipset. The System Wake-Up Control (SWC) module, powered by VSB3, supports a flexible wakeup mechanism. There are 13 General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) ports; these allow system control and wake-up on system events.
