**VL82C380 Single chip 386DX PC/AT Controller +on-chip cache ?
***Info:
VLSI Technology, Inc.'s VL82C380 is a highly integrated 32-bit
single-chip PC/AT controller with on-chip cache controller designed
for use in 386DX-based ISA systems operating at up to 40 MHz. Its
cache controller is designed with a look-aside, write- back
architecture for increased write performance as well as read
performance. Full coherency is maintained during DMA/Master Mode
cycles.
The VL82C380 is a highly integration solution. A complete system can
be implemented using only the CPU, BIOS, DRAM, VL82C380, VL82C113A
Combination I/O and 3 SSI TTL's, plus optional TAG and Data SRAMs.
Tag SRAMs can be either 8- or 9-bit (7- or 8-bit tag plus a dirty
bit). Dirty and Valid bits are optional, each may be disabled in order
to increase cacheable DRAM range. The Dirty bit, when used, indicates
that the cache has been updated but not the corresponding locations in
DRAM. The Valid bit, when used, indicates that both the cache and
corresponding DRAM locations have been updated.
Only on-board DRAM is cached, this prevents coherency issues
associated with caching system memory in the USA bus. Full coherency
is maintained during DMA/Master mode cycles, so flushing and
invalidating operations are unnecessary. set-up/sizing mode
(programmable) provides direct access to the cache data SRAMs.
The Memory Controller logic is capable of accessing up to 64 MB. There
can be up to 4 banks of 256K, 1M, or 4M DRAMs used in the system. The
VL82C380 can drive two banks without external buffering. Built-in
page-mode operations and up to 2-way interleaving allow the PC
designer to maximize system performance using low-cost
DRAMs. Programmable DRAM timing is provided for RAS precharge, RAS to
CAS delay, and CAS pulse width.
