NOTES:
1. The SMBus device must be back-drive safe while its supply (VCC_3.3) is off and 3.3 V SUS is still powered.
2. In suspended modes where VCC_3.3 is OFF and 3.3 V SUS is on, the VCC_3.3 node will be very near
ground. In this case, the input leakage of the ICH3-S will be approximately 10 µA.

Real Time Clock (RTC)
The ICH3-S contains a real time clock (RTC) with 256 bytes of battery-backed SRAM. The
internal RTC module provides two key functions: keeping date and time, and storing system data in
its RAM when the system is powered down.
The ICH3-S uses a crystal circuit that generates a low-swing 32 kHz input sine wave. The RTCX1
input is amplified and driven back to the crystal circuit via the RTCX2 signal. Internal to the
ICH3-S, the RTCX1 signal is amplified to drive internal logic as well as generate a free running
full swing clock output for system use illustrated in
. This ICH-S output ball is called
SUSCLK.
