**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.

***Info:
The SIS950 is  a LPC Interface based highly  integrated Super I/O. The
SIS950 provides the most  commonly used legacy Super I/O functionality
plus  the latest  Environment  Control initiatives,  such as  Hardware
Monitor, Fan Speed Controller  and SiS’s "SmartGuardian" function. The
device’s   LPC   interface   complies   with  Intel   "LPC   Interface
Specification  Rev.  1.0" (Sept.  29,  1997).   The  SIS950 meets  the
"Microsoft PC98 &  PC99 System Design Guide" requirements  and is ACPI
compliant.

The SIS950 features the  enhanced hardware monitor providing 3 thermal
inputs  from  remote  thermistors,  thermal diode  or  diode-connected
transistor  (2N3904).  The device  also  provides  the SiS  innovative
intelligent   automatic   Fan  ON/OFF   &   speed  control   functions
(SmartGuardian) to reduce overall system noise and power consumption.

The  SIS950   has  integrated  nine  logical   devices,  featuring  an
Environment  Controller   (controls  three  Fans).    The  Environment
Controller has  temperature, voltage and  Fan Speed monitors.  One Fan
Speed Controller  is responsible to  control three fan  speeds through
three 128  steps of  Pulse Width Modulation  (PWM) output pins  and to
monitor three fan's tachometer inputs.

Other  features  include   one  high-performance  2.88MB  floppy  disk
controller, with  digital data  separator, supporting two  360K/ 720K/
1.2M/ 1.44M/ 2.88M floppy disk drives. One multi-mode high-performance
parallel  port  features  the  bi-directional Standard  Parallel  Port
(SPP), the  Enhanced Parallel  Port (EPP  V.  1.7 and  EPP V.  1.9 are
supported),  and the  IEEE 1284  compliant Extended  Capabilities Port
(ECP).   Two  16C550  standard   compatible  enhanced   UARTs  perform
asynchronous  communication,  and  support  IR,  one  consumer  remote
control (TV  remote) IR, one  MPU-401 UART mode compatible  MIDI port,
one  game port  with  built-in 558  quad  timers and  buffer chips  to
support  direct connection  of 2  joysticks,  and six  ports (48  GPIO
pins).  There is  also a flash ROM interface  with Address (FA[0:18]),
Data (FD[0:7]),  and supporting three  control signals FCS#,  FWE# and
FRD#. In addition,  a SmartGuardian engine is provided  to monitor the
system condition and reacts to the detected condition accordingly.

These nine logical devices can be individually enabled or disabled via
software configuration registers.  The SIS950 utilizes power-efficient
circuitry  to  reduce power  consumption.  Once  a  logical device  is
disabled, the inputs are gated  inhibit, the outputs are TRI-STATE and
the input  clock is disabled. The  SIS950 requires a  single 48/24 MHz
clock input and operates with a single +5V power supply.

The SIS950 is available in 128-pin PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Package).
