**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.

**SL82C470   'Mozart' 486/386 EISA chipset                     c:Dec91
***Info:
The SL82C470 chip set provides  a very high performance.  highly inte-
grated and cost-effective implementation for personal computer systems
based on the  standard EISA bus.  It supports  both 386DX and 486DX/SX
CPUs over the entire performance range, from 20Mhz to 50Mhz.  The chip
set  can  operate in  either  "conventional"  or "concurrent"  config-
uration.  Under the conventional configuration, the cache subsystem is
dedicated to bus snooping when  a DMA or master device becomes active.
Under the concurrent  configuration, the CPU-cache operation continues
while  bus snooping  is  performed for  the  DMA or  master device  to
explore maximum  concurrency between the  CPU and the EISA  bus.  Only
ten  TTLs are  required for  a complete  motherboard design  under the
conventional  configuration in  addition to  the chip  set  and memory
devices.  Five  additional  TTLs   are  required  for  the  concurrent
configuration.  A complete EISA  system of either configuration can be
easily implemented on a baby AT sized motherboard.

The  SL82C470 chip  set consists  of three  160-pin PQFP  devices: the
SL82C471  integrated  cache/DRAM  controller,  the SL82C472  EISA  bus
controller and the SL82C473 DMA controller.

SL820471 Cache/DRAM Controller

The  SL82C47l  Cache/DRAM  controller  controls  the  cache  and  DRAM
accesses from  the CPU,  EISA/ISA masters and  DMA devices.   The chip
adapts a write-back cache  scheme to minimize the interference between
the CPU-cache and DMA/master  during their concurrent operations.  The
cache  size ranges from  64KB to  1MB with  advanced features  such as
2-1-1-1  burst  line fill.   Snoop-filtering,  local  bus support  and
programmable non-cacheable and  write-protected regions. The page mode
DRAM controller supports 1 to 4 banks of DRAMS up to 256MB.  A mixture
of 256KB, 1MB.  4MB and 16MB DRAMs is supported.  The video and system
BIOS  can  be  shadowed   or  cached  independently.   The  cache-DRAM
subsystem allows zero wait state burst mode DMA transfers to take full
advantage of the high bandwidth of the EISA bus.

The DRAM  data bus can either  be connected directly to  the CPU local
bus or  be buffered externally,  The control signals for  the external
buffers are generated by the SL82C471.

SL82C472 EISA Bus Controller

The  SL82C472  EISA  bus  controller translates  bus  control  signals
between the  CPU, EISA/ISA and DMA  masters and slaves.  The chip also
includes buffers  and byte/word swap  logic between the CPU  (or DRAM)
and the EISA bus. The  bus conversion and data alignment are performed
automatically.

The  SL82C472 includes two  8259 interrupt  controllers and  four 8254
timer channels  modified for 100%  EISA compatibility.  The  chip also
includes parity generation and check logic and NMI and timeout logic.

SL82C473 EISA DMA Controller

The SL82C473  DMA controller implements  seven EISA DMA  channels. the
system arbiter and the co-processor interface logic.  The DMA control-
ler  supports compatible  type  A,  type B  and  type  C (burst)  mode
operations  with  the  buffer  chaining  capability.   The  multilevel
rotating priority  arbitration with  fail-safe timeout  is implemented
for the  system arbiter.  Six  sets of slot-specific  master handshake
signals (MACK  and MREQ)  are provided  directly without  any external
components.

The address latches and buffers for  the EISA bus are also included in
the SL82C473.
