**VL82C325             VL82C386SX System Cache controller            ?
***Info:
The VL82C325  Memory Cache  Controller is  a high  performance; highly
integrated cache controller for systems  based on the VLSI Technology,
Inc.'s TOPCAT 386SX or SCAMP-LT chip sets. To implement a 32KB two-way
set associative cache subsystem, all  that is required is the VL82C325
and two 8K x 16 cache data  RAMs. The VL82C325 has been designed to be
an integral  part of the  TOPCAT386SX chip set. this  feature improves
the overall system  performance by reducing the number  of wait states
during non-cache cycles when compared  to cache controllers which must
pipeline all  cycles which  can not  be serviced  by reading  from the
cache  data  RAM.   The  VL82C320A TOPCAT  System  Controller  or  the
VL82C310 SCAMP  Controller, and  the VL82C325  operate in  parallel to
decode 386SX requests. The controller  starts decoding the 386SX cycle
simultaneously with  the VL82C325  and is  therefore able  to actually
start a  memory cycle  before a  miss indication  is generated  by the
VL82C325.
