**UM82152      Cache Controller (AUStek A38152 clone)              <91
***Info:
The  UM82152 is a  high-performance cache  controller for  Intel 80386
based   systems  and   provides   high  levels   of  integration   and
functionality.  It interfaces  directly  to the  80386; no  additional
support  logic  is required.   A  complete  32-kilobyte  cache can  be
designed with just one UM82152 and four 8K by 8-bit static RAMs.

The  UM82152 architecture  enables easy  design-in with  current speed
versions  of  the  80386,  and  simple  migration  to  faster  version
processors with no alteration to system or memory design.

The 80386,  operating in  pipelined mode with  the UM82152,  runs with
zero  wait states during  a cache  hit (requested  data is  present in
cache). If  the data is not  present (cache miss), it  is fetched from
main  memory by  the  UM82152.  This  approach  yields the  high-speed
performance  of fast  SRAMs for  code and  data most  frequently used,
while  providing design  economies (such  as board  space  savings and
lower component costs)  by storing infrequently used code  and data in
slower  dynamic RAM (with  cycle times  greater than  125 nanoseconds)
that  can  be  located  in  large  memory  banks  either  on-board  or
off-board.

The reduced system bus  traffic inherent in the UM82152 implementation
produces system performance gains by  freeing the bus for use by other
devices.

**VL82C380         Single chip 386DX PC/AT Controller +on-chip cache ?
***Info:...
***Configuration:...
***Features:
o   Highly integrated system solution using VL82C380 single-chip 
    ISA controller, VL82C113A Combination I/O chip and 3 TTLs
o   Supports one- or two-bank write-back cache
    - External TAGs
    - 32 Kbyte to 1 Mbyte cache size
    - 0 or 1 wait state writes
    - Separate dirty RAM not required; first write to clean, valid 
      line sets dirty bit

    allowing use of single BIOS ROM
o   Optional bus acceleration for video accesses, with programmable 
    address regions
o   Software-configurable
o   Utilizes proven 8254, 8237, 8259 megacalls used in all previous
    VLSI Technology PC/AT chipsets
o   High-performance memory controller:
    - One wait state red up to 33 MHz, Zero wait state reads up to 
      40 MHz
    - Automatic configuring of Bank start address
    - Each bank individually configurable for any supported DRAM type
    - shadow RAM support form 640K to 1M in 16K segments
    - Staggered refresh reduces power supply peak currents
    - Decoupled-mode refresh improves performance
    - Programmable refresh frequency for support of slow-refresh DRAMs
    - Up to 64 Mbytes of motherboard memory in one to four banks using
      256K, 1M, and/or 4Mbit DRAM, all motherboard memory is cacheable
    - Direct-drive up to 2 banks (32 Mbyte) of motherboard memory
    - Two-way page mode interleave
