Intel's family of products for the deployment of the industry-standard Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification enables PC and peripheral designers to easily integrate the benefits of USB for their customers. The USB family of products, the Intel 430HX PCIset for top performance and highly reliable business PC designs; the Intel 430VX PCIset for maximum multimedia capabilities and top-value home and small business PC designs; and the 8x930Ax Universal Serial Bus-compliant peripheral controller for creating new PC peripherals including digital joysticks, cameras and integrated PC/telephony applications with hot Plug and Play and virtually unlimited expansion capabilities.
The Intel 430HX PCIset helps you achieve the real performance advantages of Intel Concurrent PCI architecture (incorporating PCI 2.1). You can design a new generation of Pentium® processor-based business PCs with built-in scalability-enabling you to add features and capabilities at a variety of price points, without degrading system performance. Universal Serial Bus (USB) support enables a wide spectrum of peripherals that are hot Plug and Play "right out of the box."
Uncompromised EDO timing performance matches up to 10% performance advantage of an L2 cache-based system, without the cache. It supports 64Mbit DRAM (for up to 512MB of system DRAM), and integrates the memory address buffers. Integrated deep-posting and FIFO buffers enable concurrent activity on both sides of the System and Data Controller for improved CPU utilization. ECC and parity memory support are integrated into the chip set. The 430HX PCIset single-chip host bridge requires 60% less board real estate.
The Intel 430VX PCIset helps you design a new generation of Pentium® processor-based PCs for multimedia, games and personal productivity software. Improved EDO memory support, faster timing and support for advanced synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) enable a breakthrough in performance. An option for Shared Memory Buffer Architecture (SMBA) permits sharing part of system memory with the graphics controller for ultra-cost-sensitive PCs.
The 430VX PCIset integrates support for the Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification, so home users can add a wide variety of Plug and Play digital devices, from mice, keyboards and trackpads to joysticks.
Intel Concurrent PCI architecture (incorporating PCI 2.1) means that as new sound and video applications hit the market, PC users can add new PCI cards without degrading system performance. You'll see enhanced performance for hi-fi, 3-D, audio, full-motion video and the hottest new "edu-game" software. At the same time, the common "business core" at the heart of the 430VX PCIset lets you leverage your investment in BIOS code and development tools.
The 8x930Ax USB-compliant controller is an 8-bit single-chip microcontroller implementing the Universal Serial Bus 1.0 specification. The microcontroller connects a wide variety of external peripherals including telephony equipment, keyboards, monitors, printers, games and other devices to the host PC, equipped with a Pentium processor and Intel 430HX or 430VX PCIset and other USB-equipped systems.
The 8x930Ax USB-compliant controller is based on Intel's industry standard MCS® 251 micro-controller architecture. It is a high-performance 12 MHz controller which features ample data memory space, flexible addressing capability, and efficient high-level language support. The controller is feature and instruction set compatible with Intel's MCS 51/MCS 251 microcontroller family, a feature that protects your firmware/software investment.
