Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
The Dell Quicksilver (A00) motherboard is built around the Penryn CPU platform using a 478 Micro-FCPGA socket, paired with the MCP79 PCH and MCP79SLI graphics supporting HybridSLI architecture. The system uses two DDR3-SODIMM slots running at 1333 MHz. The EC/KBC is an ITE8512E in a 128-pin LQFP package. The BIOS flash is a 12MB SPI ROM in an 8-pin SO8W package. Audio is handled by an IDT92HD73C codec in a 56-pin LQFP. The charging IC is a MAX8731, with power regulation provided by MAX8786, MAX17020, MAX17007, and TPS51116. Networking uses a Broadcom B5071A2KFBG PHY. The card reader controller is a RICOH R5C833T in a 128-pin TQFP. HDMI level shifting is managed by a TI TMDS251. The USB hub controller is an SMSC4002.
