**82C556/7/8N Viper-N Viper Notebook Chipset <05/25/95
***Notes:...
***Info:
The OPTi Viper (820556/557/558N) Notebook Chipset provides a highly
integrated solution for fully compatible, high performance PC/AT
platforms based on Intel's 3.3V Pentium Processor, Cyrix's M1 Proce-
ssor, and AMD's K5 Processor. The chipset provides 64-bit core logic,
integrated PCI and VL support, and Sophisticated power management
features. This highly integrated approach supplies the foundation for
a cost effective platform without compromising performance. Its feat-
ure set furnishes an array of control and status monitoring options
that are accessed through a simple and straightforward interface. All
major BIOS vendors provide extensive software hooks that allow system
designers to integrate their own special features with minimal effort.
The Viper Notebook Chipset is comprised of three chips:
o 82C556 Data Buffer Controller (DBC),
o 82C557 System Controller (SYSC),
o 82C558N Integrated Peripherals Controller (IPC)
82C556 Data Buffer Controller (BBC)
The 82C556 DBC performs the task of buffering the CPU to the DRAM
memory data path. It also performs parity checking.
o CPU to memory data buffer
o CPU to local bus buffer
o Memory to local bus buffer
o 176-pin TQFP or 160-pin PQFP
82C557 System Controller (SYSC)
The 82C557 SYSC provides the control functions for the host CPU
interface, the 64-bit Level-2 (L2) cache. the 64-bit DRAM bus. the VL
bus interface, and the PCI interface. The SYSC also controls the data
flow between the CPU bus, the DRAM bus, the local buses, and the
8/16-bit ISA bus. The SYSC interprets and translates cycles from the
CPU. PCI bus master. ISA master, and DMA to the host memory, local bus
slave, PCI bus slave, or ISA bus devices.
o 3.3V CPU interface
o DRAM controller
o L2 cache controller
o L1 cache controller
o PCI interface
o Arbitration logic
o Data bus buffer control (memory data bus to and from host data bus)
o VL bus interface
o 208-pin PQFP or TQFP
82C558N Integrated Peripherals Controller (IPC)
The 820558N Integrated Peripherals Controller (IPC) contains the ISA
bus controller and includes an 820206, RTC interface, DMA controller,
PCI arbitration logic. and a sophisticated system power management
unit. It also includes buffers and steering control for the 32-bit PCI
interface.
o ISA bus controller
o Integrated 82C206 IPC
o CPU thermal management functions
o System power management functions
o PCI local bus interface
o Keyboard emulation of A20M# and CPU warm reset
o Port B and Port 92h Register
o 208-pin PQFP or TQFP
***Configurations:...
***Features:
CPU Interface
o Fully supports Intel’s 3.3V Pentium Processor and dual processor
configuration at 50, 60, and 66.667MHz
o Supports P54C, P55C, K5, and M1 processors
o Supports the Cyrix M1 Processor linear burst mode
o Three chip solution:
- 82C556 DBC (Data Buffer Controller) in a 160-pin PQFP (Plastic
Quad Flat Pack) or 176-pin TQFP (Thin Quad Flat Pack)
- 82C557 SYSC (System Controller) in a 208-pin PQFP or TQFP
- 82C558N IPC (Integrated Peripherals Controller) in a 208-pin
PQFP or TQFP
o Supports CPU address pipelining
Cache Interface
o Write-back/write-through, direct-mapped cache with size
selections: 64KB, 128KB, 256KB, 1MB and 2MB
o Support for synchronous and asynchronous SRAMs, pipelined sync-
hronous SRAMs, and Intel standard BSRAMs (BiCMOS SRAMs)
o Support for the Sony SONIC-ZWPT Cache Module
o Programmable cache write policy:
- Write-back
- Write-through
- Adaptive write-back
o Built-in tag auto-invalidation circuitry
o Fully programmable 3-2-2-2 asynchronous cache burst read/Write
cycles, 3-1-1-1/2-1-1-1 burst read/write support at 66/50MHz
o Options for cacheable, write protected. system and video BIOS
DRAM Interface
o Supports six banks of 64-bit wide DRAMs with 256KB, 512KB. 1MB,
2MB, 4MB, 8MB and 16MB addressing page mode DRAMs
o Supports DRAM configurations up to 512MB
o Supports 3-3-3-3 pipelined DRAM burst cycles
o 64-bit DRAM post write buffer
o Programmable drive currents for the DRAM control signals
o Hidden refresh with CAS-before-RAS refresh supported
o Support for two programmable non-cacheable memory regions
PCI Interface
o Interfaces the CPU and standard buses to both Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) and VL bus operating in synchronous/async-
hronous modes, with VL bus always running at PCI bus operating
frequency
o Supports three PCI masters, one VL slave, and six ISA peripherals
o Supports PCI pre-snoop for PCI masters
o PCI byte/word merge support for CPU accesses to PCI bus,‘ and
support for PCI pre-fetch
o Burst mode PCI accesses to local memory supported
Miscellaneous
o Integrated two drive VL-based IDE controller
o Self-refresh supported during Suspend mode
o Support for flash ROM
o Shadow RAM option
o Transparent 8042 emulation for fast CPU reset and Gate A20
generation
o Supports Port 092h, fast Gate A20 and fast reset
o Includes a fully integrated 82C206 with external real-time clock
(RTC) interface
