1.0

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SCH3223 is a 3.3V (Super I/O Block is 5V tolerant) PC99/PC2001 compliant Super I/O controller with an LPC inter-
face. The SCH3223 also includes Hardware Monitoring capabilities, enhanced Security features, Power Control logic
and Motherboard Glue logic.

SCH3223 The SCH3223 incorporates Super I/O functionality including LPC bus interface, a Serialized IRQ interface
and the ISA Plug-and-Play standard register set (Version 1.0a). The I/O Address and hardware IRQ of each logical
device in the SCH3223 may be reprogrammed through the internal configuration registers. Related functionality offers
flexibility to the system designer, with General Purpose I/O control functions, and control of two LED's. 

The SCH3223's Hardware Monitoring capability includes temperature, voltage and fan speed monitoring. It has the abil-
ity to alert the system of out-of-limit conditions and automatically control the speed of a fan via PWM and Tach pins.
There are four analog inputs for monitoring external voltages of +5V, +2.5V, +12V and Vccp (core processor voltage),
as well as internal monitoring of its VCC, VTR, and Vbat power supplies. The SCH3223 includes support for monitoring
one external temperature via thermal diode inputs and an internal sensor for measuring ambient temperature. The hard-
ware monitoring block of the SCH3223 is accessible via the LPC bus. Interrupt events can create PME wakeup events. 

The Motherboard Glue logic includes various power management and system logic including generation of nRSMRST
and reset generation. The reset generation includes a watchdog timer which can be used to generate a reset pulse. The
width of this pulse is selectable via an external strapping option.

The two serial ports are fully functional NS16550 compatible UARTs that support data rates up to 1.5 Mbps. The Serial
Ports contain programmable direction control, which can automatically drive nRTS based on the status of the Output
Buffer. 

The SCH3223 is ACPI 1.0/2.0 compatible and therefore supports multiple low power-down modes. 

CAUTION: This device contains circuits which must not be used because their pins are not brought out of the package,
and are pulled to known states internally. Any features, and especially Logical Devices, that are not listed in this docu-
ment must not be activated or accessed. Doing so may cause unpredictable behavior and/or excessive currents, and
therefore may damage the device and/or the system.

Note 2-1

Buffer types per function on multiplexed pins are separated by a slash “/”. Buffer types in parenthesis
represent multiple buffer types for a single pin function.

Note 2-2

Pins that have input buffers must always be held to either a logical low or a logical high state when
powered. Bi-directional buses that may be trisected should have either weak external pull-ups or pull-
downs to hold the pins in a logic state (i.e., logic states are VCC or ground).

Note 2-3

VCC and VSS pins are for Super I/O Blocks. HVTR and HVSS are dedicated for the Hardware
Monitoring Block.

Note 2-4

VTR can be connected to VCC if no wake-up functionality is required.

Note 2-5

The nRTS1/SYSOPT0 pin requires an external pull-down resistor to put the base I/O address for
configuration at 0x02E.   An external pull-up resistor is required to move the base I/O address for
configuration to 0x04E.

Note 2-6

The LED pins are powered by VTR so that the LEDs can be controlled when the part is under VTR
power.

Note 2-7

This pin is an input into the wake-up logic that is powered by VTR. In the case of a ring indicator for
a serial port, or a GPIO it will also go to VCC powered logic. This logic must be disabled when
VCC=0.

Note 2-8

This analog input is backdrive protected.

Although HVTR is powered by VTR, it is possible that

monitored power supplies may be powered when HVTR is off.

Note 2-9

The GP53/TXD2 pin defaults to the GPIO input function on a VTR POR and presents a tristate
impedance. When VCC=0 the pin is tristate. If GP53 function is selected and VCC is power is applied,
the pin reflects the current state of GP53. The GP53/TXD2 pin is tristate when it is configured for the
TXD2 function.

Note 2-10

All logic is powered by VTR. Vcc on pin 29 is used as an indication of the presence of the VCC rail
being active. All logic that requires VCC power, is only enabled when the VCC rail is active. 

Note 2-11

The GP55/nRTS2/RESGEN pin requires an external pull-down resistor to enable 500ms delay circuit.
An external pull-up resistor is required to enable 200ms delay circuit.

1.0

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SCH3223 is a 3.3V (Super I/O Block is 5V tolerant) PC99/PC2001 compliant Super I/O controller with an LPC inter-
face. The SCH3223 also includes Hardware Monitoring capabilities, enhanced Security features, Power Control logic
and Motherboard Glue logic.

SCH3223 The SCH3223 incorporates Super I/O functionality including LPC bus interface, a Serialized IRQ interface
and the ISA Plug-and-Play standard register set (Version 1.0a). The I/O Address and hardware IRQ of each logical
device in the SCH3223 may be reprogrammed through the internal configuration registers. Related functionality offers
flexibility to the system designer, with General Purpose I/O control functions, and control of two LED's. 

The SCH3223's Hardware Monitoring capability includes temperature, voltage and fan speed monitoring. It has the abil-
ity to alert the system of out-of-limit conditions and automatically control the speed of a fan via PWM and Tach pins.
There are four analog inputs for monitoring external voltages of +5V, +2.5V, +12V and Vccp (core processor voltage),
as well as internal monitoring of its VCC, VTR, and Vbat power supplies. The SCH3223 includes support for monitoring
one external temperature via thermal diode inputs and an internal sensor for measuring ambient temperature. The hard-
ware monitoring block of the SCH3223 is accessible via the LPC bus. Interrupt events can create PME wakeup events. 

The Motherboard Glue logic includes various power management and system logic including generation of nRSMRST
and reset generation. The reset generation includes a watchdog timer which can be used to generate a reset pulse. The
width of this pulse is selectable via an external strapping option.

The two serial ports are fully functional NS16550 compatible UARTs that support data rates up to 1.5 Mbps. The Serial
Ports contain programmable direction control, which can automatically drive nRTS based on the status of the Output
Buffer. 

The SCH3223 is ACPI 1.0/2.0 compatible and therefore supports multiple low power-down modes. 

CAUTION: This device contains circuits which must not be used because their pins are not brought out of the package,
and are pulled to known states internally. Any features, and especially Logical Devices, that are not listed in this docu-
ment must not be activated or accessed. Doing so may cause unpredictable behavior and/or excessive currents, and
therefore may damage the device and/or the system.

Note 2-1

Buffer types per function on multiplexed pins are separated by a slash “/”. Buffer types in parenthesis
represent multiple buffer types for a single pin function.

Note 2-2

Pins that have input buffers must always be held to either a logical low or a logical high state when
powered. Bi-directional buses that may be trisected should have either weak external pull-ups or pull-
downs to hold the pins in a logic state (i.e., logic states are VCC or ground).

Note 2-3

VCC and VSS pins are for Super I/O Blocks. HVTR and HVSS are dedicated for the Hardware
Monitoring Block.

Note 2-4

VTR can be connected to VCC if no wake-up functionality is required.

Note 2-5

The nRTS1/SYSOPT0 pin requires an external pull-down resistor to put the base I/O address for
configuration at 0x02E.   An external pull-up resistor is required to move the base I/O address for
configuration to 0x04E.

Note 2-6

The LED pins are powered by VTR so that the LEDs can be controlled when the part is under VTR
power.

Note 2-7

This pin is an input into the wake-up logic that is powered by VTR. In the case of a ring indicator for
a serial port, or a GPIO it will also go to VCC powered logic. This logic must be disabled when
VCC=0.

Note 2-8

This analog input is backdrive protected.

Although HVTR is powered by VTR, it is possible that

monitored power supplies may be powered when HVTR is off.

Note 2-9

The GP53/TXD2 pin defaults to the GPIO input function on a VTR POR and presents a tristate
impedance. When VCC=0 the pin is tristate. If GP53 function is selected and VCC is power is applied,
the pin reflects the current state of GP53. The GP53/TXD2 pin is tristate when it is configured for the
TXD2 function.

Note 2-10

All logic is powered by VTR. Vcc on pin 29 is used as an indication of the presence of the VCC rail
being active. All logic that requires VCC power, is only enabled when the VCC rail is active. 

Note 2-11

The GP55/nRTS2/RESGEN pin requires an external pull-down resistor to enable 500ms delay circuit.
An external pull-up resistor is required to enable 200ms delay circuit.
