Chapter 1
Overview
1.1 Introducing the RS690M
The RS690M is a seventh generation Integrated Graphics Processor (IGP) that integrates a DirectX®9.0 compliant 2D/3D
graphics core and a system controller in a single chip. It supports the AMD Athlon™ 64, Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64 X2,
AMD Sempron™, and AMD Turion™ 64 processors, including both AM2 and S1 socket CPUs. All CPUs are supported
on both high performance and value platforms.
The RS690M integrates an ATI Radeon™ X1200 graphics engine, dual display, a TV encoder, an LVDS interface, an
integrated TMDS controller, and Northbridge functionality in a single BGA package. This high level of integration and
scalability enables manufacturers to offer enthusiast level capabilities and performance while minimizing board space and
system cost.
The RS690M is pin-compatible with AMD's RS485M, allowing existing RS485M platforms to easily migrate to the
RS690M. Comparing with the RS485M, the RS690M provides additional features with reduced overall system power.
Robust and Flexible Core Logic Features
The RS690M combines graphics and system logic functions in a single chip using a 21mm-body FCBGA package,
reducing overall solution area. For optimal system and graphics performance, the RS690M supports a high speed
HyperTransport™ interface to the AMD processor, running at a data rate of up to 2GT/s and supporting the new
generation of AM2 and S1 socket processors. The RS690M is ideally suited to 64-bit operating systems, and supports
platform configurations with greater than 4GB of system memory. The rich PCI Express®expansion capabilities of
RS690M, including support for PCI Express external graphics and up to four other PCI Express peripherals (or five, when
using only 8 lanes for external graphics), are complemented by the advanced I/O features of AMD's SB600 Southbridge.
Best for Windows VistaTM
The RS690M delivers the best Windows Vista™ experience of any integrated graphics and core logic product for the
AMD platform. It incorporates an ATI Radeon™ X700-based graphics core, which provides the 3D rendering power
needed to generate the Windows Vista desktop even under the most demanding circumstances. In addition, dedicated
hardware acceleration is provided for key new Windows Vista features such as ClearType®. This ATI Radeon X700-based
graphics technology also enables great 3D application performance through SmartShader™ HD, SmoothVision™ HD,
and 3Dc™ technologies.
Leading Multimedia Capabilities
The RS690M incorporates the innovative ATI Avivo™* display architecture, providing users with visual quality which is
second to none. Advanced scaling and color correction capabilities, along with increased precision through the entire
display pipeline, ensure an optimal image on CRT monitors, LCD panels, and any other display devices. A new TV
encoder, based on designs used in AMD's Xilleon™ products, provides unequalled quality, and a TMDS interface,
configurable to support DVI/HDMI and HDCP, allows compatibility with even the most modern high definition
televisions without the additional cost of external components.
*Note: ATI Avivo™ is a technology platform that includes a broad set of capabilities offered by certain ATI Radeon
products. Full enablement of some ATI Avivo™ capabilities may require complementary products.
Low Power Consumption and Industry Leading Power Management
The RS690M is manufactured using a power efficient 80nm technology, and it supports a whole range of industry
standards and all new proprietary power management features. In addition to comprehensive support for the ACPI
specification and AMD features such as AMD PowerNow!™, the ATI PowerPlay™ technology (enhanced with new
adaptive frame buffer compression and ATI PowerShift™ features) minimizes the RS690M's power consumption by
adjusting graphics core performance and core voltage to the task and usage environment. The RS690 family also includes
variants with support for dedicated local display cache memory, which further reduces system power consumption.

RS690MC
Software Compatibility
The graphics driver for the RS690M is fully compatible with all other ATI Radeon class graphics controllers from AMD.
A single driver can support multiple graphics configurations across AMD's product lines, including the ATI Radeon
family and the AMD chipset family. In addition, this driver compatibility allows the RS690M to benefit immediately from
AMD's software optimization and from the advanced Windows®XP and Windows Vista support available in the ATI
Radeon family drivers.
1.2 RS690MC
The RS690MC is a special variant of the RS690M that does not support a PCI-E interface for external graphics or a
TMDS interface that enables DVI/HDMI. Beyond the differences, all information in this document that applies to the
RS690M is also applicable to the RS690MC, unless otherwise specified.
1.3 RS690T
The RS690T is a special variant of the RS690M that supports a x8 PCI-E graphics link and has a 16-bit side-port memory
interface for DDR2 memory to be used as a local frame buffer (see section 1.5.2, “Memory Interface (RS690T Only),” for
details). Beyond the differences, all other information in this document is applicable to the RS690T, unless otherwise
specified.
1.4 RS690E
The RS690T and RS690E are the same device with respect to their form, fit, and functionally, except for the differences
described in Appendix B, “AMD RS690E.” All information in this databook that is applicable to the RS690T, unless
superseded by the information given in Appendix B, is also applicable to the RS690E.
