What is a Intel LPC Interface Controller.
LPC stand for Low Pin Count - it is the chip used to connect all of the "legacy" PC components on motherboards. For example it will control the PS/2, floppy, parallel and serial ports.
Low Pin Count Explained
The LPC bus was introduced by Intel in 1998 as a software-compatible substitute for the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus. It resembles ISA to software, although physically it is quite different.
Intel LPC Interface Specification | PDF | Computer Engineering
It details the goals, signal definitions, and functionality requirements for the LPC interface, which includes support for memory, I/O, DMA, and bus master cycles. The document also specifies
Intel® Chipsets Low Pin Count Interface Specification
This document contains a specification for a new low pin count bus interface, called LPC. The target audiences for this document are system and component designers.
Engineering:Low Pin Count
Most PC motherboards with an LPC bus have either a Platform Controller Hub (PCH) or a southbridge chip, which acts as the host and controls the LPC bus. All other devices connected to
What Is LPC?
With Microsoft Windows, LPC (Local Procedure Call) is an IPC (InterProcess Communication) mechanism that allows software to call routines used in other processes.
