**VT82C496G    Pluto, Green PC 80486 PCI/VL/ISA System       <05/30/94
***Info:
The   VT82C496G  is   a  cost-effective   implementation  of   a  high
integration, high performance and  high energy efficient VL/ISA system
based  on the  80486SX/DX/DX2/DX4  or compatible  processor.  With  an
optional VT82C505  VL-PCI bridge,  the system can  be extended  to the
PCI/VL/ISA platform  that offers top rated PCI  performance and proven
PCI-2.0 compliance. In either  case, the VT82C496G interfaces directly
with the  VT82C406MV IXP (Integrated X-bus  Peripherals) that replaces
the  multiclock  generator, the  keyboard  controller  with PS2  mouse
support, the DS-1285  style real time clock with 128  byte of CMOS RAM
and certain amount of glue logic.  Less than ten TTLs are required for
a  complete  main  board  implementation  in  addition  to  the  chips
mentioned above.

In addition  to the VL bus  controller, cache and  DRAM controller and
ISA  bus  controller  with  the  82C206  peripherals  (DMA,  interrupt
controller  and timer),  the VT82C496G  also includes  a  flexible CPU
interface, a notebook class power  management unit and a local bus IDE
controller  to   meet  the   demand  of  the   state-of-art  computing
requirement. The function block  diagram of the VT82C496G is indicated
in Figure 1. The system block  diagram of a PCI/VL/ISA system based on
the VT82C496G is indicated in Figure 2. [see datasheet]
