**82C281/282 Cache Sx/AT (386SX) <08/22/91
***Notes:...
***Info:
The 82C281/2 is a highly integrated AT system logic VLSI for high end
386 Sx AT systems. It integrates the logic for local DRAM control, AT
bus control, cache memory control, and data bus control and is
designed for systems running at 16MHz, 20MHz, and 25MHz.
A high performance, compact 386 Sx/AT system can be implemented easily
with 82C281/2 and standard peripheral controllers like the 82C206 or
the VLSI 82C100 plus Dallas Semiconductor DS1287.
2 System Operation
The following sections describe the detailed system operations of the
82C281 /2 based Sx-AT design.
2.1 Reset
The power good (PWRGD) signal from power supply drives the system into
the initial state when it is asserted low. The 82C281/2 forces CPURST,
SYSRST, and NPRST high as soon as PWRGD becomes inactive. When the
PWRGD is high, the chip deactivates the CPURST, SYSRST, and NPRST
after 128 CLK2 cycles.
2.2 Cache Interface
The 82028112 cache control unit monitors the HIT# pin and the internal
NCA# signals to determine if it is a cache hit or cache miss
cycle. During the cache read miss cycle, the cache controller asserts
TAGWE# to update the TAG RAM, CAWE# is also asserted to update the
cache data memory.
The A1 CNT output will be forced high then low to toggle CPU address
bit 1 to cache data memory to achieve the prefetch.
During cache write hit cycles, the cache controller asserts the CAWE#
signal to update the cache data memory.
2.3 Local DRAM Interfaces
Local DRAM is located on the CPU local data bus and is buffered by a
F244 and F373 buffer. During CPU read cycles data is routed from main
memory to CPU through F244’s Which are controled by LMRD#. During CPU
write cycles, data is latched by F373 latches with the PDLTH signal
from the 82C281/2 while DWE# controls the transceivers' enable. The
main memory subsystem asserts the LMRD# while CPU, DMA, and external
master card reads the local DRAM. DWE# is asserted during local DRAM
memory write.
For local memory read cycles, the memory controller reads two bytes at
a time. The read data passes into 82C281/2 where the parity checking
function is executed.
For the local memory write cycles, the data bus control unit generates
the parity bits to be stored into the local DRAM.
2.4 System BIOS ROM
If the system BIOS ROM is not shadowed, the ROM cycles are treated as
AT cycles. The system designer can put the ROM on the XD bus as an
8-bit slave or SD bus as a 16-Bit slave.
For a 16-bit slave, ROMCS# is connected to M16# through an open
collector driver such as a 7407, the 82C281/2 monitors M16# to
determine the width of the ROM data path.
2.5 I/O Ports located on the XD bus
For l/O ports located on the XD bus, the XDIR# is activated. I/O ports
0F0H - 0FFH are reserved for the coprocessor.
2.6 Refresh Cycles
The AT bus control unit arbitrates the hold request from 82C206 and
the refresh request from 82C281/2 internal, then decides which is the
next owner of the bus once the CPU relinquishes it. The refresh
request generated internally by 82C281/2 can be programmed as every
15.9 micro-seconds or every 95.5 micro-seconds for slow refresh
DRAM. lf the bus is granted for refresh cycles, the AT bus control
unit asserts RFSH# and MEMRD# commands and also generates the refresh
address.
2.7 DMA Cycles
The hold request from the 82C206 initiates DMA/Master transfers. The
82C281/2 performs the arbitration between HRQ and refresh
request. After the CPU acknowledges by asserting HLDA, and DMA request
wins the arbitration, the 82C281/2 sends HLDA1 to the 82C206
acknowledging the request. The 820206 then asserts DMA16# and
activates ADS16# to start 16-bit DMA transfers, or asserts DMA8# and
activates ADS8# to start 8-bit DMA transfers.
