**VL82C425         486 Cache controller                              ?
***Info:
The  VL82C425  Cache  Controller   provides  a  low-cost  direct  map,
look-aside write-back  cache option for  use with the  VL82C486 System
Controller. It supports from  64 KB to 1 MB cache  sizes. It can cache
from the first 8 MB to the first 256 MB of on-board DRAM, depending on
the cache  size and  tag option  selected. the cache  line size  is 16
bytes (four double words).

one or two 32-bit wide banks of asynchronous cache SRAM may be used to
hold the  data. Increased  read performance is  obtained by  using two
banks which allow interleaved accesses during burst read cycles.

only one  8-bit or 9-bit (optional)  tag SRAM is required  to hold the
upper memory  address bits and the  dirty bit. The number  of tag SRAM
locations required is  equal to the size of the  data cache (in bytes)
divided by 16.
