**85C496/497 486-VIP 486 Green PC VESA/ISA/PCI Chipset <95
***Info:
The SiS 486-VIP (VESA/ISA/PCI) chips are two-chip solution ideally for
Intel's 80486, SL Enhanced 486, P24D/P24T/DX4 CPU, AMD's 486, Enhanced
Am486 and Cyrix's Cx486 (M7)/Cx 5x86 CPU based on green AT system. By
supporting the most popular industrial standard system interfaces, it
provides flexible configurations for system design and applications.
The SiS85C496 PCI & CPU Memory Controller (PCM) integrates the Host
Bridge (Host Interface), the cache and main memory DRAM Controller,
the PCI Bridge, the built-in IDE Controller, and the FS-Link Bus (Fast
Slow Link Bus). It provides the address paths and bus control for
transfers among the Host (CPU/L1 cache), main memory (L2 cache and
DRAM), the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Bus, and the
FS-Link Bus. The L2 cache controller supports both write-through and
write-back cache policies and cache sizes up to 1 MBytes. The cache
memory can be built using standard asynchronous SRAMs. The main
memory DRAM controller interfaces DRAM to the Host Bus, PCI Bus, and
FS-Link Bus. Up to eight single sided SIMMs or four double sided SIMMs
provide a maximum of 255 MBytes of main memory. The installation of
DRAM SIMMs is "Table-Free", which allows the SIMMs be installed into
any slot location and any combinations. The built-in IDE hard disk
controller allows CPU accessing hard disk and also provides higher
system integration with lower system cost. The 85C496 is intended to
be used with the SiS85C497 which is a AT Bus Controller with built-in
206 controller.
The SiS85C497 AT Bus Controller and Megacells (ATM) provides the
interface between PCI/CPU/Memory Bus (fast machine) and the ISA Bus
(slow machine). It also integrates many of the common I/O functions
in today's ISA based PC systems. The 85C497 comprises the FS-Link
interface (Fast-Slow Link interface), ISA bus controller , DMA
controller and data buffers to isolate the FS-Link Bus from the ISA
Bus and to enhance performance. It also integrates a 14 channel
edge/level interrupt controller, refresh controller, a 8-bit BIOS
timer, three programmable timer/counters, non-maskable-interrupt (NMI)
control logic, Power Management Unit, and RTC. Figure 1 .1 [see
datasheet] shows the system block diagram.
