**SL6012  Memory Mapper for PC-AT (74LS612 compatible)          <Jul87
***Info:
The SL6012 Memory  Mapper is intended for use in  PC-AT design. It can
expand an address bus by 4  bits. In PC-AT applications, 4 bits of the
source  address   are  used  to  select   1  of  16,   eight  bit  map
registers. These registers  are normally programmed (through software)
with the  starting address of each  memory page. The  register data is
output directly for  use as the most significant  bits of the expanded
address bus. The 8 bits from the SL6012 are used along with the unused
source address bits to form the expanded address bus.

As shown  in Table 1  [see datasheet], the  SL6012 has three  modes of
operation; read, write and map. Data may be written into, or read from
the Memory  Mapper when  chip select CSN  is low. The  register select
inputs (RS0 through RS3) select one of the sixteen map registers. When
RWN is  low, data is written  into a register from  the data bus. When
RWN is high  data is output from a Memory Mapper  register to the data
bus.

The map mode of operation is selected when chip select CSN is high. In
this mode, the  register data selected by the  map address inputs (MA0
through  MA3)  will be  available  on  the  map outputs  (MO0  through
MO7).  Note that  the map  registers are  addressed by  either  the RS
inputs or  the MA inputs depending  upon the operating  mode. When MEN
(Map Enable) is low the map  outputs (MO0-MO7) are active. When MEN is
high, the map outputs are at high impedance.

**VL82C3216        Bus Expanding Controller Cache with write buffer  ?
***Info:
The VL82C3216 Bus Expanding  Controller (BANC) Cache with Write Buffer
is  specifically  designed  to  provide a  high-performance,  low-cost
solution for  interfacing 386SX  PC/AT-compatible chip sets  to 386DX,
Am386DXL,  AM386DXLV,  486DX,  486SX,  or compatible  processors.  The
designs  may   be  entirely  new  systems  or   upgrades  to  existing
ones. Power management features also make this device ideal for laptop
computers  or  other battery  operated  systems.   The performance  is
achieved  through the  use of  a write  buffer structure,  an external
second level cache, prediction algorithms, and maximizing the internal
first level cache of the i486, if used.

The  high  level of  integration  is  entered  on the  VL82C3216.   It
controls all  functions between the  host processor bus and  the 386SX
local  bus.   in  addition  the  the  write  buffer  and  second-  and
first-level  cache controls,  the  VL82C3216  contains prediction  and
burst mode algorithms that take full advantage of the page mode design
of existing 386SX  system architecture.  Through the  use of pipelined
page mode accesses to system memory,  the VL82C3216 bursts data to and
from memory at rates  of up to 25 MB per  second. This provides 32-bit
memory performance at 16-bit memory costs.
