SiS SiS55x Embedded x86 Processors
Released October 4th, 2001, the single chipset, SiS550 family, provides a
high performance/low cost SoC (System on Chip) solution by integrating an
x86 compatible processor, high performance North Bridge, advanced hardware
GUI engine and Super-South bridge. In addition, SiS550 family complies with
Easy PC Initiative that supports Instantly Available/OnNow PC technology,
USB, Legacy Removal, CIR, Memory Stick, Smart Card and Slotless Design for
a variety of IA (Information Appliance) applications.
SiS550 family integrates a high-performance processor that supports x86 instruction
set with 3 integer units, 3-way superscalar architecture, and a fully pipelined
floating point unit. In addition, the processor is a power-efficient design
that optimizes the power consumption for information appliance applications.

SiS550
This is a 1.9V (3.3/5V I/O tolerant) Embedded CPU based on the Rise CPU design
(they bought an IP license from Rise in October, 1999). The SiS55x is actually
considerably faster then the MediaGX and Geode CPUs that it competes with,
even at lower speeds. It is fully x86 compatible and and includes the following
features:
- 128bit AGP 4X Graphics (up to 128MB SMA) |
- 5.1 Channel DirectSound Audio |
- Supports 2 DIMMs (1GB max) |
- S/W Modem Support |
- ACPI 1.2 Compatible |
- Integrated UDMA100 IDE Controller |
- Pipelined FPU |
- 3 Integer Pipelines |
- 686 BGA Package |
- 8-Stage Pipeline |
- 8K Instruction Cache (2-Way) |
| - 8K Data Cache (2-Way) |
The SiS55x operates on extremely low power.
| CPU | Speed | Voltage | Power (Watts) |
| SiS55x | 166 | 1.7 | 2.2 |
| SiS55x | 180 | 1.8 | 2.9 |
| SiS55x | 200 | 1.9 | 3.9 |
| SiS55x-LV | 250 | 1.5 | 1.76 |
| SiS55x-LV | 266 | 1.5 | 1.8 |
These low power chips allow for very dense integration. The below system
operates on 8 Watts with a 2.5" hard disk

SiS551
Integrated Smart Card and Memory Stick controller. Mainly used for security
applications.
This chip has largely been superceded by the SiS552.
