Introduction
The Intel® 82801E Communications I/O Controller Hub (82801E C-ICH) is a highly integrated multifunctional communications I/O controller hub that provides the interface to the PCI bus and integrates many of the functions needed in today’s communications applications. This document provides a detailed description of the 82801E C-ICH thermal, electrical and mechanical specifications, including signals, pinout, packaging, electrical characteristics, and testability.
