PCI Chipset
The PCI chipset consists of four chips that interface between the three main
buses (the processor’s local (PL) bus, the PCI bus, and the ISA bus):
• The PL/PCI bridge chip (SB82437FX-66) which also provides control for
the PCI bus, level-2 cache memory, and main memory.
• Two data path unit chips (SB82438FX) that provide a 64-bit data path
between the processor local bus and main memory modules.
• The PCI/ISA bridge chip (SB82371FB) also provides control for the IDE.
