General Purpose Input and Output

The PCH General Purpose Input / Output (GPIO) signals are grouped into multiple groups (such as GPP_​A, GPP_​B, and so on). All GPIO groups are powered by the PCH Primary well, except for GPD group which is powered by the PCH Deep Sleep well.

The high level features of GPIO:

  • Per-pad configurable 3.3 V or 1.8 V voltage, except for GPD groups (3.3 V only), GPP_​S (1.8 V only), and GPP_​R (per-group 3.3 V or 1.8 V)
  • Configurable as an GPIO input, GPIO output, or native function signal.
  • Configurable GPIO pad ownership by host, Intel® CSME, or ISH.
  • SCI (GPE) and IOAPIC interrupt capable on all GPIOs
  • NMI and SMI capability capable (on selected GPIOs).
  • PWM, Serial Blink capable (on selected GPIOs).
  • Programmable hardware debouncer (on GPD3 / PWRBTN# pin)
