**82C556/7/8N    Viper-N  Viper Notebook Chipset             <05/25/95
***Notes:...
***Info:
The OPTi  Viper (820556/557/558N)  Notebook Chipset provides  a highly
integrated  solution  for  fully  compatible, high  performance  PC/AT
platforms based  on Intel's 3.3V Pentium Processor,  Cyrix's M1 Proce-
ssor, and AMD's K5 Processor.  The chipset provides 64-bit core logic,
integrated  PCI and  VL  support, and  Sophisticated power  management
features.  This highly integrated approach supplies the foundation for
a cost effective platform without compromising performance.  Its feat-
ure set  furnishes an array  of control and status  monitoring options
that are accessed through a simple and straightforward interface.  All
major BIOS vendors provide  extensive software hooks that allow system
designers to integrate their own special features with minimal effort.

The Viper Notebook Chipset is comprised of three chips:
o   82C556 Data Buffer Controller (DBC),
o   82C557 System Controller (SYSC),
o   82C558N Integrated Peripherals Controller (IPC)

82C556 Data Buffer Controller (BBC)
The 82C556  DBC performs  the task  of buffering the  CPU to  the DRAM
memory data path. It also performs parity checking.
o   CPU to memory data buffer
o   CPU to local bus buffer
o   Memory to local bus buffer
o   176-pin TQFP or 160-pin PQFP

82C557 System Controller (SYSC)
The  82C557 SYSC  provides  the  control functions  for  the host  CPU
interface, the 64-bit Level-2 (L2)  cache. the 64-bit DRAM bus. the VL
bus interface, and the PCI  interface. The SYSC also controls the data
flow  between the  CPU bus,  the DRAM  bus, the  local buses,  and the
8/16-bit ISA bus.  The SYSC interprets and translates  cycles from the
CPU. PCI bus master. ISA master, and DMA to the host memory, local bus
slave, PCI bus slave, or ISA bus devices.
o   3.3V CPU interface
o   DRAM controller
o   L2 cache controller
o   L1 cache controller
o   PCI interface
o   Arbitration logic
o   Data bus buffer control (memory data bus to and from host data bus)
o   VL bus interface
o   208-pin PQFP or TQFP

82C558N Integrated Peripherals Controller (IPC)
The 820558N  Integrated Peripherals Controller (IPC)  contains the ISA
bus controller and includes  an 820206, RTC interface, DMA controller,
PCI  arbitration logic.  and a  sophisticated system  power management
unit. It also includes buffers and steering control for the 32-bit PCI
interface.
o   ISA bus controller
o   Integrated 82C206 IPC
o   CPU thermal management functions
o   System power management functions
o   PCI local bus interface
o   Keyboard emulation of A20M# and CPU warm reset
o   Port B and Port 92h Register
o   208-pin PQFP or TQFP
