**82495XP/490XP Cache Controller / Cache RAM (for i860)       06/05/91
***Notes:...
***Info:
The Intel 82495XP cache controller and 82490XP cache RAM, when coupled
with a user-implemented memory  bus controller, provide a second-level
cache  subsystem  that eliminates  the  memory  latency and  bandwidth
bottleneck for  a wide  range of multiprocessor  systems based  on the
i860 XP  microprocessor. The CPU  interface is optimized to  serve the
i860  XP microprocessor  with zero  wait  states at  up to  50 MHz.  A
secondary cache  built from the  82495XP and 82490XP isolates  the CPU
from  the memory subsystem;  the memory  can run  slower and  follow a
different protocol than the i860 XP microprocessor.

**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.
