The F81768 which is the featured IO chip for PC system is equipped with ATX/AT Strapping pin, which implements the Low Pin Count (LPC) interface, includes I/O functionally as well as motherboard glue logic into a 128-pin package.
The F81768 includes one IEEE 1284 Parallel Port, two UART Ports (COM Ports) with up to 128 bytes FIFO, provide 9 bit (multidrop) function, one 80 port (multi with COM2), Hardware Keyboard Controller (KBC), and SIR. The UART supports legacy speeds up to 115.2K bps as well as even higher baud rates of 230K, 460K, or 921K bps to support higher speed modems.The F81768 integrates with hardware monitor, 11 sets of voltage sensor, 3 sets of creative auto-controlling fans and 3 temperature sensor pins for the accurate dual current type temperature measurement for CPU thermal diode or external transistors 2N3906. Others, the F81768 supports newest AMD TSI, Intel PECI 3.0 interfaces, MXM and SMBus (master & slave) for temperature sensing and provides the power sequence controller function for AMD platform.
The F81768 provides flexible features for multi-directional application. For instance, the F81768 provides 61 GPIO pins (multi-pin), IRQ sharing function also designed in UART feature for particular usage and accurate current mode H/W monitor will be worth in measurement of temperature, provides 3 modes fan speed control mechanism included Manual Mode/Stage Auto Mode/Linear Auto Mode for users’ selection.
In order to save the current consumption when the system is in the soft off state which is so called power saving function. The power saving function supports that system boot-on not only by pressing the power button but also by the wake-up events via GPIO3x, GPIO5x & RI#. When the system enters the S4/S5 state, F81768 can cut off the VSB power rail which supplies power source to the devices like the LAN chip, the chipset, the SIO, the audio codec, DRAM, and etc. The PC system can be simulated to G3-like state when system enters the S4/S5 states. At the G3-like state, the F81768 consumes the 5VA power rail only. The integrated two control pins are utilized to turn on or off VSB power rail in the G3-like status. The turned on VSB rail is supplied to a wake up device to fulfill a low power consumption system which supports a wake up function.
These features as above description will help you more and improve the product value.The F81768 is powered by 3.3V voltage, with the LPC interface in the green package of 128-LQFP (14mm*14mm).
