Geode™ CS5536 ATA-6 Controller
The single NANO-LX IDE connector supports two ATA-6 HDDs. An ATA-6 (Ultra ATA/100)
compliant IDE controller on the AMD® Geode™ CS5536 has a maximum transfer rate of
100MB/s. ATA-6 includes advancements in error checking and ATA-6 drives are
compatible with future interface additions.
The onboard ATA-6 controller is able to support the following IDE HDDs:
Ultra ATA/100, with data transfer rates up to 100MB/s
Ultra ATA/66, with data transfer rates up to 66MB/s
Ultra ATA/33, with data transfer rates up to 33MB/s

Geode™ CS5536 Audio Codec 97 (AC’97) Controller
The AC’97 specification v2.3 compliant controller on the chipset is interfaced to a 20-bit
DAC and 18-bit ADC full-duplex AC'97 2.3 stereo RealTek ALC203 codec. The ALC203 is
then connected to a 10-pin audio connector to which an audio kit can easily be connected.
The codec meets performance requirements for audio on PC99/2001 systems. Some of
the codec features are listed below.
