***Info:
The HT44 is a look-aside write-through, 80486SX, 486DX or 486DX2
secondary cache controller. It is packaged in an inexpensive 84-pin
plastic-leaded chip carrier (PLCC).
Architecture
With its look-aside architecture, the HT44 fits beside the CPU-to-
Memory bus and not in the data path. Therefore, once the HT44 has
been designed into a 486 system, it can be populated for secondary
cache systems or left vacant for non-secondary cache systems. The HT44
is direct-mapped to the available address space.
Performance
The HT44 has a number of performance enhancing features. These
include zero-waitstate burst line fills to the 486 on secondary cache
hits, and simultaneous 486 and secondary cache updates on read misses.
Memory Configurations
The HT44 supports cache sizes from 32KBytes to 1MB. Both synchronous
and asynchronous SRAMs are supported. 25ns SRAMs are sufficient for
zero-wait-state operation at 33MHz.
Chip Set Support
The HT44 can, be implemented with minimal glue logic in a 486 system
with the HTK340 (code name Shasta) chip set. The registers in the
HTK340 allow for programming of non-cacheable and write-protected
areas of memory. The HTK340 will support the HT44 with synchronous
SRAMs only. Future Headland chip sets will support both synchronous
and asynchronous SRAM designs.
The HT44 can also be used with some third-party chip sets, however,
additional glue logic may be required.
