Input/output Controller Hub 2 (82801BA)
The ICH2 is encapsulated in a 360-pin Enhanced Ball Grid Array (EBGA) package and
resides on the system board just underneath the AGP connector. It provides the interface
between the PCI bridge (PCI 2.2 compliant with support for 32-bit 33MHz PCI
operations),
PCI-to-Low Pin Count (LPC) bridge, IDE controller, USB controller, SMBus controller,
and Audio Codec’97 controller.
You’ll find more detail about the ICH2 functions and capabilities later in this section.
Figure 2-8 shows an example of the system block diagram using the ICH2.
