DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Handhelds / Notebooks
Industrial / Vertical systems
ACPI-compatible systems
Single board computers
The ACPITroller 342 UR8HC342 is
a single IC that functions both as an
8042-type Human Input Device
Controller (HIDC) and an ACPI-
compliant Embedded Controller
(EC). The ACPITroller 342
provides the typical functionality of
an 8042-type HID controller with
embedded key and motion
scanning. In addition, the
ACPITroller 342 functions as an
ACPI-compliant embedded
controller (EC) and SMBus host.
The IC achieves unparalleled
minimum power consumption
(typically less than 1 μA) due to
Semtech's patented extremely low-
power technologies for both PS/2
ports and the SMBus port – an
industry first. The ACPITroller 342
can power down even when
devices are connected and active.
Based on Semtech's patented
extremely low-power technology,
the ACPITroller 342 always
operates in the "STOP" mode,
independently of the configuration
and without any data or event
losses.
Using the ACPITroller 342, system
designers can implement systems
that take advantage of the SMBus,
the Smart Battery System, and the
ACPI specifications, all using a
single IC.
