**CS8281   NEATsx (386SX)           (82C811/812/215/206)       c:Dec89
***Info:
The CS8281 NEATsx CHlPSet, which  is composed of four VLSI devices, is
a  high-performance, 100%-compatible  enhanced  implementation of  the
control logic used in the IBM  PC AT. The flexible architecture of the
NEATsx  CHIPSet   allows  it  to  be   used  as  the   basis  for  any
386sx-compatible system.

The CS8281  NEATsx CHIPSet provides a complete  386sx PC/AT compatible
system, requiring only 24 logic components plus memory devices.

The CS8281  NEATsx CHIPSet consists of the  82C811 CPU/bus controller,
the  82C812  page/interleave and  EMS  memory  controller, the  82C215
data/address buffer, and  the 82C206 integrated peripherals controller
(IPC).

The NEATsx  CHIPSet supports a local  CPU bus, a  16-bit system memory
bus, and the AT buses as shown in the NEATsx system block diagram [see
datasheet].  The  82C811 provides synchronization  and control signals
for all buses.   The 82C811 also provides an  independent AT bus clock
and allows  for dynamic  selection between the  processor clock  and a
user~selectable AT bus clock.   Because command delays and wait states
are  configured  by  software,  peripheral boards  are  provided  with
maximum flexibility.

The  82C812  page/interleave and  EMS  memory  controller provides  an
interleaved memory subsystem design with page mode operation.  It sup-
ports up to 8MB of DRAM  with combinations of 256Kb and 1Mb DRAMs. The
processor can operate  at 16 MHz with 0.7  wait state memory accesses,
using 100  nsec DRAMs.   This is possible  through a  page interleaved
memory  scheme. A  RAM shadowing  feature allows  faster  execution of
EPROM stored BIOS code by downloading and executing code from RAM.  in
a DOS environment memory above 1MB can be used as EMS memory.

The 82C215 data/address buffer provides buffering and latching between
the  local CPU address  bus and  the peripheral  address bus.  It also
provides buffering between the local  CPU data bus and the memory data
bus.  Parity bit  generation and error detection logic  resides in the
82C215.  

The 82C206  integrated peripherals controller  is an integral  part of
the NEATsx CHIPSet.  It is described in the 82C206 data book.

System Overview
The CS8281 NEATsx CHIPSet is designed for use in 12-16 MHz 80386 based
systems  and provides complete  support for  the IBM  PC AT  bus. Four
buses are supported by the CS8281 NEATsx CHIPSet: the CPU local bus (A
and D); the system memory bus (MA and MD); the I/O channel bus (SA and
SD); and  the X  bus (XA and  XD). The  system memory bus  provides an
interface between the  CPU and the DRAMs and  EPROMS controlled by the
82C812.   The  I/O  channel  bus  refers to  the  bus  supporting  the
AT-compatible bus adapters  which can be either 8-  or 16-bit devices.
The X  bus is  the peripheral bus  to which  the 82C206 IPC  and other
peripherals are attached in an IBM PC AT.

**82C898         System/Power Management Controller (non-cache)c:Nov94
***Notes:...
***Info:
Overview
The 82C898 provides a highly integrated solution for fully compatible,
high performance PC/AT platforms. The 82C898 supports 486SX/DX/DX2/DX4
and  P24T  microprocessors  in  the  most  cost  effective  and  power
efficient designs  available today. For  high-end system applications,
this  device offers  optimum  performance for  systems  running up  to
50MHz.  

Based  fundamentally  on  OPTi’s   proven  82C801  and  82C802  design
architectures,  the 82C898 adds  additional memory  configurations and
extensive  power  management  control  for  the  processor  and  other
motherboard components.

The 82C898  supports the latest  in write-back processor  designs from
Intel, AMD, and Cyrix, as well as supporting the AT bus and VESA local
bus  for compatibility  and performance.  It also  includes  an 82C206
Integrated Peripherals Controller (IPC),  all in a single 208-pin PQFP
(Plastic Quad Flat Pack) for low cost.

Power Management
Figure  2-1   [see  datasheet]  exemplifies  the   flexibility  of  an
82C898/82C602-based designs GREEN strategy.  System designs can easily
accommodate both  SLe and non-SLe  CPUs.  If  an Intel non-SLe  CPU is
used, SMI#, SMIAOT#, and FLUSH# are no connects. One design can easily
accommodate  both  types  of   processors  with  minimal  changes  for
upgrades.
