1.1.2 System Overview
S c
ac l Do
The MITAC 8965 model is designed for Intel Banias processor with 400MHz FSB with Micro-FCPGA package. It


iT ia
can support Banias 1.5G ~ 1.9GHz.


M t
This system is based on PCI architecture and is fully compatible with IBM PC/AT specification, which has standard


en
hardware peripheral interface. The power management complies with Advanced Configuration and Power Interface


fid
(ACPI) 2.0. It also provides easy configuration through CMOS setup, which is built in system BIOS software and can
be pop-up by pressing F2 key at system start up or warm reset. System also provides icon LEDs to display system


on
status, such as Wireless Lan indicator, Power indicator, Battery status indicator, HDD, Num Lock, Caps Lock, Scroll

C
Lock. It also equipped with LAN, 4 USB ports, and audio line out, external microphone function.

The memory subsystem supports two expansion DDR SDRAM slot with unbuffered PC3200 DDR400 SDRAM.

The VIA PN800 Mobile North Bridge integrates a high performance CPU interface for Intel Pentium 4 / Pentium-M
processor, a full featured AGP port controller, integrated Graphics with 2D/ 3D/ Video Controllers, a advanced high-
performance DDR400 SDRAM controller, and high bandwidth Ultra V-Link host controller connecting with VIA

VT8235CE South Bridge.

The VIA VT8235CE integrates Universal Serial Bus 2.0 Host Controllers Interface (UHCI), the Audio Controller
with AC97 interface, the Ethernet includes a 32-bit PCI controller, the IDE Master/Slave controllers, and Inter-
operable with VIA Host-to-V-Link Host Controller.

The VIA VT6103L is a Fast Ethernet 10 / 100 1-port PHY / Transceiver with MII interface, and meet all applicable

t ent
IEEE 802.3, 10Base-T and 100Base-Tx standards.

re m
ec u
The W83L950D is a high performance microcontroller on-chip supporting functions optimized for embedded control.

S c
These include ROM, RAM, four types of timers, a serial communication interface, optional I
