**CS8230 386/AT (82C301/302/303/304/305/306)cFeb87
***Notes:...
***Info:
The CS8230-16-20-25 AT/386 CHIPSet is a seven chip VLSI implementation
of most of the system logic to control an iAPX 386 based system. The
CHIPSet is designed to offer a 100% PC AT compatible integrated
solution. The flexible architecture of the CHIPSet allows it to be
used in any iAPX386 based system design, such as CAD/CAE workstations,
office systems, industrial and financial transaction systems.
CS8230 CHIPSet combined with CHIPs 82C206, Integrated Peripherals
Controller, provides a complete PC AT compatible system using only 40
components plus memory devices.
The CS8230 CHIPSet consists of one 82C301 Bus Controller, one 82C302
Page/Interleave Memory Controller, one each of 82A303 and two 82A304
Address Bus Interfaces, two 82A305 or 82B305 Data Bus Interfaces, and
a 82A306 Control Signal Buffer. An all CMOS CS8232-16, and CS8232-20
CHIPSet allow OEM's to reduce the form factor, size and weight of
their portable, laptop machines due to the reduced power requirements,
the reduced cooling requirements and the reduced buffering
requirements of the CHIPSet. In particular, the all CMOS CS8232-16 and
CS8232-20 CHIPSet will reduce a system's power consumption requirement
by at least half that of an NMOS/BIPOLAR/CMOS based system.
The only difference between the CS8232 CHIPSet and the CS8230 CHIPSet
is that the bipolar parts (82A303, 82A304, 82A305, 82A306) in the
CS8230 CHIPSet have been replaced with CMOS parts (82C303, 82C304,
82C305, 83C306). The difference between the new CMOS parts is that the
drive capability is 12 mA as opposed to 24 mA in the bipolar parts.
The CHIPSet supports a local CPU bus, a 32-bit system memory bus, and
AT buses as shown in the System Block Diagram [see datasheet]. The
82C301 and 82A306/82C306 provide the generation and synchronization of
control signals for all buses. The 82C301 also supports an independent
AT bus clock, and allows for dynamic selection of the processor clock
between the 16-20-25MHz clock and the AT bus clock. The 82A306
provides buffers for bus control signal in addition to other
miscellaneous logic functions.
The 82C302 Page/Interleave Memory Controller provides an interleaved
memory subsystem design with page mode operation. It supports 1 MB to
16 MB of DRAMs with combinations of 256Kbit and 1 Mbit DRAMs. The
processor can operate at 16-20-25 MHz with zero wait state memory
accesses.
The 82A303/82C303 and 82A304/82C304 interface between all address
buses and the addresses needed for proper data path conversion. Two
82A305/82C305/82B305 are used to interface between the local, system
memory, and AT data buses. In addition to having high current drive,
they also perform the conversion necessary between the different sized
data paths.
System Overview
The CS8230 is designed for use in 80386-based systems and provides
complete support for the IBM PC AT bus. There are four buses supported
by the CS8230 as shown in the AT/386 system block diagram [see
datasheet]: the CPU local bus (A and D), the system memory bus (MA and
MD. the IO Channel bus (SA and SD), and the X bus (XA and XD). The
system memory bus is used to interface to DRAM's controlled by the
82C302. The IO channel bus refers to the bus supporting the AT bus
adapters which could be either 8 bit devices or 16 bit devices. The X
bus refers to the peripheral bus to which the DMA controllers and
timers are attached in an IBM PC AT. The X bus has only an 8-bit data
path. The term "AT bus" is used to refer to the IO channel bus and X
bus. Provisions are also made for user extension of the IO channel to
a 32 bit bus.
