Intel® 440MX Chipset
Overview
For Embedded Computing
The Intel® 440MX chipset represents the latest in chipset integration. By providing a cost effective, low power single-component chipset specifically designed to reduce system cost, space and power, this product is ideal for low-power, low cost applied computing platform solutions. The 440MX chipset offers designers an extremely cost effective way to enable Intel quality, reliability, and initiatives across all their low power market segments.

The 440MX chipset supports Intel® Celeron® processor – Low Power and Ultra Low Power and Pentium® III processor – Low Power designs. The 440MX is offered in the small form-factor, 492 Ball Grid Array (BGA) package with a typical power dissipation of 2.1W making it an effective solution for fanless applications.

The 440MX chipset provides advanced features like support for USB, ACPI power management and AC-97 link interface, which enable soft technologies. The chipset is a single-component that integrates the North Bridge and the South Bridge and an additional AC-97 digital link (2 channels) into one chip. It replaces the ISA interface with an 8-bit X-bus that supports KBC, SIO, and Flash memory.
