SIO PINS AND FUNCTIONS

Firstly, before going to see SIO pins and their functions we will know what exactly is SIO. We will see
it in this laptop motherboard repair guide.

SIO stands for Super Input Output Controller. SIO is sometimes called KBC or EC also. The Super I/O
chip is managed in the motherboard it controls. also, it manages most of the I/O functions on the
motherboard. Normally SIO has 128 pins.

Some Features Of SIO

Below are some features of sio

 Control power and all switches

 It manages fan and temperature

 Manages keyword and mouse

Some Of the Common Manufacturers Of SIO

Below are some of the common manufacturers of SIO

 ITE

 SMSC

 NUVOTEN

 WINBOND

 ENE

Signals To Run SIO

SIO requires four things to work. Below are signals to run SIO
Signal Work

VCC Gives the power to work 3.3 volt

EC_RST EC RST means reset to SIO 3 volt

CLOCK 32.7 khz frequency from the main crystal

Below Mention SIO Are Programmable

In the newer generation motherboard, EC BIOS merge into SIO means if SIO is bad then we have to
replace SIO and copy EC BIOS into SIO. This SIO is called programmable SIO.

Below are some examples of programmable SIO’s:

 ite it8585e programmable

 ite it8586e programmable

 ite it8985e programmable

 ite it8587e programmable

 ite it8522 programmable


 ite it8587e programmable
