**82495XP/490XP Cache Controller / Cache RAM (for i860)       06/05/91
***Notes:...
***Info:
The Intel 82495XP cache controller and 82490XP cache RAM, when coupled
with a user-implemented memory  bus controller, provide a second-level
cache  subsystem  that eliminates  the  memory  latency and  bandwidth
bottleneck for  a wide  range of multiprocessor  systems based  on the
i860 XP  microprocessor. The CPU  interface is optimized to  serve the
i860  XP microprocessor  with zero  wait  states at  up to  50 MHz.  A
secondary cache  built from the  82495XP and 82490XP isolates  the CPU
from  the memory subsystem;  the memory  can run  slower and  follow a
different protocol than the i860 XP microprocessor.

**W83977F/G/AF/AG WINBOND I/O (Multi I/O)                          c97
***Info:
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This data sheet covers  two products: W83977F/G, and W83977AF/AG whose
pin assignment, and most of the functions are the same. W83977AF/AG is
an advanced version of W83977F/G featuring the FIR function.

W83977F/G,  W83977AF/AG  are  evolving  products from  Winbond’s  most
popular I/O chip  W83877F -- which integrates the  disk drive adapter,
serial  port  (UART),  IrDA   1.0  SIR,  parallel  port,  configurable
plug-and-play  registers  in one  chip  ---  plus additional  powerful
features: ACPI, 8042 keyboard controller with PS/2 mouse support, Real
Time  Clock,  14  general  purpose  I/O  ports,  full  16-bit  address
decoding, TV  remote IR (Consumer  IR, supporting NEC,  RC-5, extended
RC-5, and  RECS-80 protocols).  In addition,  W83977AF/AG provides the
functions of IrDA 1.1 (MIR for 1.152M bps or FIR for 4M bps).

The disk  drive adapter functions of W83977F/G,  W83977AF/AG include a
floppy  disk drive  controller compatible  with the  industry standard
82077/  765, data  separator, write  pre-compensation  circuit, decode
logic, data  rate selection, clock generator,  drive interface control
logic,  and  interrupt/  DMA   logic.  The  wide  range  of  functions
integrated onto the W83977F/G,  W83977AF/AG greatly reduces the number
of components  required for interfacing  with floppy disk  drives. The
W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG supports up to four 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M, or
2.88M disk drives  and data transfer rates of 250  Kb/s, 300 Kb/s, 500
Kb/s,1 Mb/s, and 2 Mb/s.

The W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG provide two high-speed serial communication
ports (UARTs),  one of  which supports serial  Infrared communication.
Each UART  includes a 16-byte  send/receive FIFO, a  programmable baud
rate  generator, complete  modem control  capability, and  a processor
interrupt  system. Both  UARTs  provide legacy  speed  with baud  rate
115.2k and provide advanced speed  with baud rate 230k, 460k, and 921k
bps  which support  higher speed  modems.  W83977AF/AG  alone provides
independent 3rd UART (32-byte FIFO) dedicated for IR function.

The  W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG  supports one  PC-compatible  printer port
(SPP), Bi-directional  Printer port  (BPP) and also  Enhanced Parallel
Port (EPP)  and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP).  Through the printer
port  interface  pins, also  available  are:  Extension  FDD Mode  and
Extension 2FDD Mode allowing one or two external floppy disk drives to
be connected.

The   configuration  registers   support   mode  selection,   function
enable/disable,  and power down  function selection.  Furthermore, the
configurable  PnP  features  are  compatible  with  the  plug-and-play
feature demand of Windows 95TM, which makes system resource allocation
more efficient than ever.

W83977F/G,  W83977AF/AG  provides  functions  that  comply  with  ACPI
(Advanced Configuration  and Power Interface),  which includes support
of  legacy and  ACPI  power  management through  SMI  or SCI  function
pins. W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG also  has auto power management to reduce
power consumption.

The keyboard  controller is based  on 8042 compatible  instruction set
with a 2K Byte programmable ROM and a 256-Byte RAM bank. Keyboard BIOS
firmware is available with  optional AMIKEY-2, Phoenix MultiKey/42, or
customer code.

The  W83977F/G, W83977AF/AG  provides a  set of  flexible  I/O control
functions to the system designer  through a set of General Purpose I/O
ports. These GPIO ports may serve as simple I/O or may be individually
configured to provide a pre-defined alternate function.

W83977F/G,  W83977AF/AG is made  to fully  comply with  Microsoft PC97
Hardware Design Guide. IRQs, DMAs, and I/O space resource are flexible
to adjust to meet ISA PnP requirement. Full 16-bit address decoding is
also  provided. Moreover W83977F/G,  W83977AF/AG is  made to  meet the
specification of PC97‘s requirement  in the power management: ACPI and
DPM (Device Power Management).
