**HT18          80386SX Single Chip                            c:Sep91
***Info:
The HT18  is an advanced PC/AT compatible,  single-chip 80386SX design
solution. This  highly integrated single chip allows  simple, low cost
system  design options  while  featuring high  performance, low  power
consumption,  and minimum board  space requirements.   Advanced memory
management features  include support  for page mode,  with 2  or 4-way
interleaving  in both pipelined  and non-pipelined  modes(18A/B only).
Extended Hardware EMS  options include dual sets of  32 registers with
multiple context operation. Revisions A/B support 256K and 1M DRAMs in
1 by 1,  1 by 4, and 1  by 9 device configurations. Rev  C supports 4M
devices, as well.  A Shadow RAM  option for System Video BIOS and dual
or single system ROM BIOS support adds to overall design versatility.

A  complete PC/AT  compatible  system with  advanced  features may  be
implemented with minimal external support logic. The HT18 performs all
CPU  and peripheral support  functions in  a single  chip.  Integrated
device  functions include  DMA Controllers,  a Memory  Mapper, Timers,
Counters, Interrupt  Controllers, a Bus Controller  and all supporting
circuitry for PC core logic requirements. An asynchronous AT Bus clock
allows  for a  constant 8MHz  Bus clock  rate for  highest  bus device
compatibility as defined in IEEE Spec P996. This device is packaged in
a 208-pin  Plastic Quad Flat  Pack combining several  external buffers
into this space saving solution.

**TACT83000   AT 'Tiger' Chip Set (386)                            c89
***Info:
The Texas Instruments TACT83000 AT Chip Set is designed for cached and
noncached 386-based  PC-AT compatible systems running at  speeds up to
33 MHz.  Manufactured with high-speed  1-um CMOS EPIC  technology, the
chip set is functionally partitioned into three devices: the TACT83443
AT Bus Interface Unit (ATU),  the TACT83442 Memory Control Unit (MCU),
and the  TACT83441 Data  Path Unit  (DPU).  The ATU  is packaged  in a
208-lead  plastic quad  flatpack  (QFP),  while the  MCU  and DPU  are
packaged in 100-lead plastic QFPs

These three chips, along with four other logic chips, comprise all the
logic  necessary for  a  fully compatible  16-bit 3868X-based  system.
Since one DPU provides a 16-bit data path, a 32-bit 386DX-based system
requires an additional DPU.

With software-controlled configuration registers  on board the ATU and
MCU,  the  chip set  supports  a wide  variety  of  PC system  config-
urations.  For complete programming  details, see the TACT8300 AT Chip
Set User’s Guide, literature number SRZU001.
