General Description

The IT8705F is a LPC Interface based highly integrated Super I/O. The IT8705F provides the most commonly used legacy Super I/O functionality plus the latest Environment Control initiatives, such as Hardware Monitor, Fan Speed Controller and ITE’s “SmartGuardian” function. The device’s LPC interface complies with Intel “LPC Interface Specification Rev. 1.0” (Sept. 29, 1997). The IT8705F meets the “Microsoft PC98 & PC99 System Design Guide” requirements and is ACPI compliant.
