ALi Super Tualatin Northbridge
AGP 4X, PCI and SDR/DDR Memory Controller
Product Brief
M1651T
INTRODUCTION
M1651T is ALi’s new generation of PCI Northbridge
chip supporting the latest Slot-1, Socket-370
CeleronTM, Pentium IITM , Pentium IIITM , and Tualatin
Processors. It interfaces with the 100/133 front side
bus (FSB). It is a single chip solution which provides
high performace memory interface for both
66/100/133 SDR and 133/200/266 DDR. The
feasible PC-266 DDR enables 2.1 GB/s peak
bandwidth between the system memory and
Northbridge to boost system performance to the next
level.
With AGP 1x/2x/4x support, M1651T prepares
system designers with enough head room to
interface with different graphics solutions to fulfill
various market requirements. ALi also manufactures
a series of feature-rich, highly integrated southbridge
devices (M1543C, M1535(D), M1535(D)+) which
seamlessly work with
M1651T as a complete, flexible and cost-effective
solution for notebook designers. M1651T also
incorporate ALi’s proven power management
support which is particularly crucial to mobile
applications
