ROHM Semiconductor released a catalog for the companion ICs dedicated for the Intel® Atom™ E600 platform with following topics:
Input / Output Hub LSI – Power Management IC – Clock Generator IC
Input / Output Hub LSI
OKI Semiconductor has developed two kinds of application-specific IO-Hubs, the ML7223(V) and ML7213. The former is intended for telecom terminal applications such as web-enabled media phones. The latter, ML7213, was developed primarily for in-vehicle infotainment applications.
Power Management IC
ROHM's PMICs BD9591A and BD9594A supply all of the voltage rails required not only for the Intel processor and the Intel Platform Controller Hub EG20T, but also for the DDR2 memory and BIOS-storage SPI Flash connected to the Intel chip. Furthermore, they control start-up and power-down sequencing that eliminates the need for an external microcontroller or a CPLD required in most conventional x86 processor designs.
Clock Generator IC
ROHM's CGIC BU7335 is ideal for this Intel platform since it alone provides all of the clocks needed by the Intel chip and the controller hub, as well as by commonly employed external devices such as SATA, USB, etc.
