Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
This Apple M38A motherboard schematic, drawing number 051-71484, dated June 22, 2006, is designed for an Intel Core Duo CPU platform operating at 1.83 or 2.17 GHz. The system architecture features an M56 GPU with GDDR3 frame buffer memory and dual-channel DDR2 main memory supported by two SO-DIMM slots. Audio processing is handled by an STA9221 codec, while network connectivity is provided by a Yukon Gigabit Ethernet controller. The FireWire interface is managed by a FW323-06 controller. The system management controller (SMC) is an H8S2116, and the EC firmware is stored on a dedicated SPI BootROM. Power management includes a U6700 charging IC, and thermal monitoring is implemented via TSENS sensors. Clock generation is performed by a CK410 clock generator.
