Intel
82802AB/AC Firmware Hub
(FWH)
Product Features
Intel platform compatability
Enables security-enhanced platform
infrastructure; facilitates option to remove ISA.
Firmware hub hardware interface mode
5-Signal communication interface supporting
byte-at-a-time reads and writes
Register-based read and write protection for
each code/data storage block
Hardware write protect pins for the top boot
block and the remaining code/data storage
blocks
5 Additional GPIs for platform design
flexibility
Contains a hardware Random Number
Generator (RNG) for enhancing platform
security
Integrated Command User Interface (CUI) for
requesting access to locking, programming, and
erasing options. The CUI also handles requests
for data residing in status, ID, and block-lock
registers.
Operates with 33-MHz PCI clock and
3.3 V I/O.
