**82340SX     Chip Set (VLSI) (82343/82344)                   01/25/89
***Notes:...
***Info:
****82343 System Controller/Data Buffer:

The 82343 contains the system  control and data buffering functions in
a 160-pin flatpack.

The  82343 functions  are highly  programmable via  a set  of internal
configuration  registers.  Defaults  on  reset  for the  configuration
registers  mimic the  compatibility requirements  of the  original IBM
PC/AT  as  closely as  possible.   The  power  up defaults  allow  any
possible  configuration of  the  system  to boot  at  the CPU's  rated
speed. however,  operational capabilities  may be  temporarily reduced
until the  configuration registers are  set to mirror the  true system
configuration. This normally occurs  during BIOS power-on self-test in
a manner completely transparent to the user.

The  82343  is  designed  to  perform in  systems  running  up  to  20
MHz. Built-in page-mode operation,  two- or four-way interleaving, and
fully programmable  memory timing  allow the  PC designer  to maximize
system performance  using low  cost DRAMs. Programmable  memory timing
allows the system  to be setup to perfectly match  the requirements of
the chosen DRAMs; standard or  custom.  These adjustments can often be
made without incurring the penalty of additional wait states.

The system controller  handles system board refresh  directly and also
controls the timing if slot bus refresh which is actually performed by
the 82344 ISA  Bus Controller. Refresh may be performed  in coupled or
decoupled  mode. The  former method  is the  standard PC/AT-compatible
mode where on- and off-board refreshes are performed synchronously. In
decoupled  mode,  the  timing  of   on-  and  off-board  refreshes  is
independent.   Both may  be  programmed for  independent, slower  than
normal rates.  This  allows use of low power, slow  refresh DRAMs. The
82343 controls all  timing in both modes. In all  cases, refreshes are
staggered to minimize power supply  loading and attendant noise on the
VDD and  ground pins. In sleep  mode, refresh switches to  CAS# before
RAS# refresh for maximum power savings.

The physical banks  of DRAM can be logically reordered  through one of
the indexed configuration registers. This  DRAM remap option is useful
in order to map out bad DRAM  banks allowing continued use of a system
until repairs  are convenient. It  also allows DRAM  bank combinations
not  in  the supported  memory  maps  to  be  logically moved  into  a
supported configuration  without physically moving  memory components,
This unique, programmable function performs this task by switching the
internal  RAs# and  CAS# signals  between the  external RAS#  and CAS#
pins. This allows internal row and column addresses generated for DRAM
bank 0, for example, to be routed to any one of the four on-board DRAM
banks.

Full EEMS support is provided in hardware for the complete LIM EMS 4.0
standard.   Seventy-two mapping  registers provide  a standard  and an
alternate set of 36 registers each. The system allows backfill down to
256k for  EEMS support and  provides 24 mapping registers  which cover
the  EMS space  from C0000h  to  E0000h.  These  twelve registers  can
alternatively be mapped in the  A0000-BFFFFh and D0000-DFFFFh range by
changing a configuration  bit in the 82343. All  registers are capable
of  translating  over   the  complete  32  Mbyte   range  of  on-board
DRAM. Users preferring an alternate  plug-in EMS solution, can disable
the on-board  EMS system as  well as  system board DRAM,  as required,
down to 256k.

Shadowing features  are supported on  all 16K boundaries  between 640K
and 1M.  Simultaneous  EMS use, shadowed ROM, and  direct system board
access is  possible in non-overlapping fashion  throughout this memory
space. Control over four access options is provided.

1. Access ROM or slot bus for reads and writes.
2. Access system board DRAM for reads and writes.
3. Access system board DRAM for reads and slot bus for writes.
4. Shadow setup mode. Read ROM or slot bus, write system board DRAM.

These  controls are  overridden by  EMS in  segments for  which  it is
enabled.
