Lenovo A550-27IMB NM-C971 Schematic
Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
This Asia Vital Components Co., Ltd. A550-27 motherboard, documented under project code CML-SX01, is built around the Intel Comet Lake-S 35W platform with an LGA 1200 socket and a B460 PCH in VFCBGA 885 packaging. The system memory architecture supports two DDR4 SODIMM modules per channel operating at 2666MT/s with a 64-bit data bus. The embedded controller is an ITE 8638E/BX, with an alternate EC_IT8632E/AX package reference. The primary BIOS storage is a 16MB SPI flash ROM at 3.3V, with a reserved 8MB SPI flash ROM option. Audio is handled by an ALC274 High Definition Audio codec. Networking is provided by a Realtek RTL8111H LAN controller and AMP 5825/5720 wireless modules. The HDMI interface uses an RTD2785 level shifter for DP to LVDS bridge functionality. A GL835L controller manages USB hub and SD card reader duties. The TPM module is a SLB9670VQ2.0 running firmware version 7.63. Power management includes an INA300 charging IC and an OZ554 power IC.
Technician FAQ
