The W83759A provides all of the next-generation ATA-IDE requirements, including support for high
capacity disk drives, high speed host transfers, multiple IDE peripherals, and non-disk IDE
peripherals. It makes high-performance, low-cost, easy-to-use IDE machines possible.
The W83759A is pin-to-pin backward compatible with the W83759. In addition to the advanced
features described above, the W83759A supports automatic power-down, standby, and suspend APM
power management states for green PC applications. This new chip is packaged in a 100-pin QFP.
