**82420EX PCIset (for 486) EX (Aries) (82425EX/82426EX) <Dec94
***Notes:...
***Info:
The 82420EX PCIset is the foundation for the Value Flexible
Motherboard solution for entry-level Intel486 processor-based PCI
systems. The Value Flexible Motherboard solution, including 82420EX,
Intel486 processor, 82091AA Advanced Integrated Peripherals, 82C42
Keyboard Controller, Flash BIOS, and Plug & Play software, drives PCI
into the mainstream. The 82420EX PCIset is a highly integrated
solution enabling low cost, small form factor motherboard designs. All
Intel486 processors and upgrades are supported, including L1
write-back and Intel SMM power management. PCI Local Bus IDE is
incorporated for higher performance IDE at no additional cost.
The 82420EX was designed from the ground up for PCI performance. It
consists of two components - the 82425EX PCI System Controller (PSC)
and the 82426EX ISA Bridge (IB). The PSC integrates the L2 cache
controller and the DRAM controller. The cache controller supports both
write-through and write-back cache policies and cache sizes from 64
KBytes to 512 KBytes in an interleaved or non-interleaved
configuration. The DRAM controller interfaces main memory to the Host
Bus and the PCI Bus. The PSC supports a two-way interleaved DRAM
organization for optimum performance. Up to ten single-sided SIMMs or
four double-sided and two single-sided SIMMs provide a maximum of 128
MBytes of main memory. The PSC provides memory write posting to PCI
for enhanced CPU-to-PCI memory write performance. In addition, the PSC
provides a high performance PCI Local Bus IDE interface.
The IB is the bridge between the ISA Bus and Host Bus, and integrates
the common I/O functions found in today’s ISA-based PC systems - a
seven channel DMA controller, two 82C59 interrupt controllers, an 8254
timer/counter, Intel SMM power management support, and control logic
for NMI generation. The IB also provides the decode for external BIOS,
real time clock, and keyboard controller. Edge/Level interrupts and
interrupt steering are supported for PCI plug and play compatibility.
The IB integrates the ISA address and data path, reducing TTL and
system cost. In addition, the integration of system clock generation
logic eliminates the need for external host and PCI clock drivers.
