***Info:
The CS8231 TURBO CACHE BASED 386/AT CHIPSet is a seven chip VLSI
implementation of most of the system logic to implement a CACHE BASED
iAPX 386 based system. The CHIPSet is designed to offer a 100% PC AT
compatible integrated solution. The flexible architecture of the
CHIPSet allows it to be used in any iAPX386 based system design, such
as CAD/CAE workstations, office systems, industrial and financial
transaction systems.
The CS8231 CHIPSet combined with CHIP's 82C206, Integrated Peripherals
Controller, provides a complete PC AT compatible system using only 40
components plus memory devices.
The CS8231 CHIPSet consists of one 82C301 Bus Controller, one 82C307
Integrated CACHE/DRAM controller, one each of 82A303 and 82A304
Address Bus Interfaces, two 82B305 Data Bus Interfaces, and a 82A306
Control Signal Buffer.
The CHIPSet supports a local CPU bus, a 32-bit system memory bus, and
AT buses as shown in the system diagram below. The 82C301 and 82A306
provide the generation and synchronization of control signals for all
buses. The 82C301 also supports an independent AT bus clock, and
allows for dynamic selection of the processor clock between the 16M
Hz, 20MHz, or 25MHz clocks and the AT bus clock. The 82A306 provides
buffers for bus control signals in addition to other miscellaneous
logic functions.
The 82C307 is a high performance and high integration CACHE/DRAM
controller designed to interface directly to the 80386 micro-
processor. It maintains frequently accessed code and data in high
speed memory, allowing the 80386 to operate at its maximum rated freq-
uency with near zero waitstates. By integrating DRAM control func-
tions on-chip, it supports simultaneous activation of cache and DRAM
access, thereby minimizing the cache miss cycle penalty. It has
hardware support to allow the user to designate up to four blocks (of
variable size from 2KB to 128KB) of main memory as non-cacheable
address space. This feature is important for compatibility issues
when operating in a multiprocessing or LAN environment, or where dual-
port memory is used, and to designate certain regions of video RAM as
non-cacheable. This feature eliminates the need to use very fast PALs
externally to decode non-cacheable regions and gives the user much
more flexibility. Optional EDC support logic is integrated on to the
82C307 which allows it to interface to any of the generically
available 32-bit Error Detection and Correction Circuits to realize a
highly reliable memory subsystem.
Cache coherency is maintained during DMA cycles by channeling all acc-
esses through the cache controller logic. During DMA read operations,
the cache RAM is not accessed and data is retrieved from the main
memory. During DMA write operations, if a cache hit is detected, the
cache RAM is updated and the corresponding tag validated. Cache
coherency is maintained at all times, with no performance penalty.
The 82C307 is available in a 100 pin PFP package.
The 82A303 and 32A304 interface between all address buses, and the
addresses needed for proper data path conversion. Two 828305 are used
to interface between the local, system memory, and at data buses. In
addition to having high current drive, they also perform the
conversion necessary between the different sized data paths.

***Info:
The P5 A.G.P./VGA chipset, SiS530/5595, provides a high performance/
cost index Desktop/Mobile solution for the Intel Pentium P54C/P55C,
AMD K5/K6/K6-II, Cyrix M1/M2 and other compatible Pentium CPU with 3D
A.G.P. VGA system.
The Host, PCI, 3D A.G.P. Video/Graphics & Memory Controller, SiS530
integrates the Host- to-PCI bridge, the PCI interface, the L2 cache
controller, the DRAM controller, the high performance hardware 2D/3D
VGA controller, and the PCI IDE controller.
The Host interface supports Synchronous/Asynchronous Host/DRAM
clocking configuration to eminently improve the system performance and
DRAM compatibility issues.
The L2 cache controller can support up to 2 MB P.B. SRAM, and the DRAM
controller can support SDRAM memory up to 1.5 GBytes with three
double-sided SDRAM DIMMs configuration. The cacheable DRAM sizes
support up to 256 MBytes.
The built-in fast PCI IDE controller supports the ATA PIO/DMA, and the
Ultra DMA33/66 function that support the data transfer rate up to 66
MB/s. It provides the separate data path for two IDE channels that can
eminently improve the performance under the multi-tasking environment.
The A.G.P. internal interface is supported for integrated H/W 3D VGA
controller. The integrated VGA controller is a high performance and
targeted at 3D graphics application. In addition, the integrated 3D
Video/Graphics controller adopts the 64bits 100MHz host bus interface
high technology to improve the performance eminently. To cost-
effective the PC system, the share system memory architecture will be
adopted and it can flexibly using the 2MB, 4MB and 8MB frame buffer
size from programming the system BIOS. [something got confused in
translation there didn't it?] To enhance the system performance,
SiS530 also supports the local frame buffer solution and memory sizes
can support up to 8MB with SDRAM and SGRAM.
In addition to provide the standard interface for CRT monitors, it
also provides the Digital Flat Panel Port (DFP) for a standard
interface between a personal computer and a digital flat panel
monitor. This port allows a host computer to connect directly to an
external flat panel monitor without the need for analog-to-digital
conversion found in most flat panel monitors today. As for DVD
solution, the integrated 3D VGA controller also support DVD H/W
accelerator to improve the DVD playback performance.
The SiS5595 PCI system I/O integrates the PCI-to-ISA bridge with the
DDMA, PC/PCI DMA and Serial IRQ capability, the ACPI/Legacy PMU, the
Data Acquisition Interface, the Universal Serial Bus host/hub
interface, and the ISA bus interface which contains the ISA bus
controller, the DMA controllers, the interrupt controllers, the Timers
and the Real Time Clock (RTC). It also integrates the Keyboard
Controller and PS/2 mouse interface that can support keyboard power on
function for users to power on system by entering the hot key or
password from keyboard. The built-in USB controller, which is fully
compliant to OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface), provides two USB
ports capable of running full/low speed USB devices. The Data
Acquisition Interface offers the ability of monitoring and reporting
the environmental condition of the PC. It could monitor 5 positive
analog voltage inputs, 2 Fan speed inputs, and one temperature input.
In addition, SiS5595 also supports ACPI function to meet Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) 1.0 specification for Windows
98 environment, it can support power-management timer, Power button,
Real-time clock alarm wake up, more sleeping state, ACPI LED for
sleeping and working state, LAN wake up, Modem Ring In wake up, and
OnNow initiative function.
