Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
This Apple Computer Inc. schematic, drawing number 051-7032-A dated 05/18/06, documents the IM4,2 platform. The system architecture is built around a CPU with FSB and an IMVP6 CPU VCore regulator, paired with a Southbridge (SB) and Northbridge (NB) supporting DDR2 SO-DIMM memory across two slots. Graphics output is handled through NB PEG/Video Interfaces, external TMDS, and TMDS/Inverter/ExtVGA paths. The system includes an SPI Bootrom for BIOS, an Ethernet controller, an Airport wireless connector, and FW323-06 for FireWire. Power regulation is managed by multiple DC/DC converters and VREGs including 3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.2V, 1.5V_S0, 1.05V_S0, and 5V rails. Thermal monitoring is provided by sensors for the NB, CPU, system, fan, and HD temperature. The SMC and TPM support block handles system management and security functions.
