Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
The Quanta CH3 project motherboard is designed for the Intel Merom/Santa Rosa CPU platform using a CPU 479P (uPGA) 35W socket. The platform is built around the Crestline Northbridge and ICH-8M Southbridge, with discrete graphics provided by an NVDIA NB8P GPU. System memory consists of two DDRII-SODIMM slots supporting DDRII 533 and 667 MHz modules. The clocking solution is provided by an ICS9PR363BGLF clock generator driven by a 14.318MHz crystal. Power management is handled by a MAX8724 system charger, MAX8734A system power controller, SC452 CPU core regulator, MAX8776 VGA core regulator, TPS51116 for DDR_VTERM and 1.8V rails, TPS51124 for VCCP +1.5V and GMCH 1.05V, and MAX1993 for the VGA core at 1.025V. Audio is managed by an ALC262 codec with a speaker audio amplifier, while networking is provided by a Marvell PCIE-LAN controller. The motherboard also integrates an ICS9LPRS363AGLF card reader controller and a CPU thermal sensor.
