Intel® ICH3 and System Clock Domains4
Table 4-1 describes the system clock domains. Figure 4-1 shows the assumed connection of the
various system components, including the clock generator. For complete details of the system
clocking solution refer to the system’s clock generator component specification.

Hub I/F, processor I/F, AGP. Shut off during S3 or below .
Free-running PCI Clock to ICH3. This clock remains on
during S0 and S1 state, and is expected to be shut off
during S3 or below in server configurations or .
PCI Bus, LPC I/F. These only go to external PCI and LPC
devices.
Super I/O, USB Controllers. Expected to be shut off
during S3 or below .
Expected to be shut off during S4 or below.
AC ’97 Link. Generated by AC ’97 Codec. Can be shut by
codec in D3. Expected to be shut off during S3 or below.
Used for ICH3-processor interrupt messages. Operates
up to 33.33 MHz. Expected to be shut off during S3 or
below.
Generated by the LAN Connect component. Expected to
be shut off during S3 or below.
