Real Time Clock Interface
RCIN#
I
Keyboard Controller Reset Processor:
The keyboard controller can generate
INIT# to the processor. This saves the external OR gate with the 82801E C-ICH’s
other sources of INIT#. When the 82801E C-ICH detects the assertion of this
signal, INIT# is generated for 16 PCI clocks.
A20GATE
I
A20 Gate:
This signal is from the keyboard controller. It acts as an alternative
method to force the A20M# signal active. A20GATE saves the external OR gate
needed with various other PCIsets.
CPUPWRGD
OD
Processor Power Good:
This signal should be connected to the processor’s
PWRGOOD input. This is an open-drain output signal (external pull-up resistor
required) that represents a logical AND of the 82801E C-ICH’s PWROK and
VRMPWRGD signals.

Description
SMBDATA
I/OD
SMBus Data:
External pull-up is required.
SMBCLK
I/OD
SMBus Clock:
External pull-up is required.
SMBALERT#
/GPIO[11]
I
SMBus Alert:
This signal is used to wake the system or generate an SMI#. If not
used for SMBALERT#, it can be used as a GPI.

Description
INTRUDER#
I
Intruder Detect:
This signal can be set to disable system if box detected open.
This signal’s status is readable, so it can be used like a GPI if the Intruder
Detection is not needed.
SMLINK[1:0]
I/OD
System Management Link:
These signals are an SMBus link to an optional
external system management ASIC or LAN controller. External pull-ups are
required.
NOTE:
SMLINK[0] corresponds to an SMBus Clock signal and SMLINK[1]
corresponds to an SMBus Data signal.

RTCX1
Special
Crystal Input 1:
This signal is connected to the 32.768 KHz crystal. If no
external crystal is used, then RTCX1 can be driven with the desired clock rate.
RTCX2
Special
Crystal Input 2:
This signal is connected to the 32.768 KHz crystal. If no
external crystal is used, then RTCX2 should be left floating.
