**82360SL     I/O Subsystem                                   10/05/90
***Notes:...
***Info:
The  82360SL Peripheral  I/O  contains dedicated  logic  to perform  a
number of  CPU, memory, and peripheral support  functions. The 82360SL
device also contains an extensive set of programmable power management
facilities  which  allow  minimized  system  energy  requirements  for
battery-powered portable computers.

The  82360SL includes  a  complete set  of  on-chip peripheral  device
functions  including  two 16450  compatible  serial  ports, one  8-bit
Centronics interface  or bi-directional parallel port,  two 8254 comp-
atible timer counters, two  8259 compatible interrupt controllers, two
8237  compatible  DMA controllers,  one  74LS612  compatible DMA  page
register,  one  146818  compatible  Real-time clock/calendar  with  an
additional  128 bytes  of battery  backed CMOS  RAM and  an integrated
drive electronics (IDE) hard  disk drive interface.  The Intel 82360SL
also contains highly programmable chip selects and complete peripheral
interface  logic  for  direct  keyboard  and  floppy  disk  controller
support. The peripheral registers  and functions behave exactly as the
discrete  components  commonly  found  in industry  standard  personal
computers. The  peripheral logic is  enhanced for static  operation by
supporting write only registers as read/write.

The processor  and memory support  functions contained in  the 82360SL
device eliminate  most of the external random-logic  "glue" that might
otherwise   be  required.   The  82360SL   device   provides  internal
programmable-frequency clock generators for the ISA bus backplane, and
video subsystems. A programmable, low-power DRAM refresh timer is also
provided to  maintain system memory integrity during  the power saving
suspend state.

The  82360SL also  contains a  flexible set  of hardware  functions to
support  the  growing   sophistication  in  power  management  schemes
required by portable systems. Numerous hardware timers, event monitors
and  I/O  interfaces  can  programmable  monitor  and  control  system
activity.  Firmware developed  by  the system  designer allocates  and
directs the hardware to fulfill the unique power management needs of a
given system configuration.

All of the standard  peripheral registers, clock-generation logic, and
power-management  facilities  have been  designed  to ensure  complete
compatibility  with   existing  operating  systems   and  applications
software.

**SL82C465    Cache Controller (for 486/386DX/SX)                 c:91
***Info:
The SL82C465 cache controller supports both 1X and 2X clock modes. The
1X clock  mode means that the CCLK2  signal is used as  the CPU clock;
the 2X clock  mode means that the PCLK signal  (half the frequency and
the phase indicator  of CCLK2) is used as the  CPU clock. The SL82C465
and other CPU local bus devices run at the same clock frequency as the
CPU, while  the rest of the system  runs at the frequency  of PCLK. In
other words, the operating frequency of the system logic is either the
same (2X clock mode) or half the speed of the CPU (1X clock mode). For
the 1X clock mode, the timing of the signals between the CPU/Cache and
the system logic interface  is converted by the SL82C465 automatically
to  satisfy  the requirement  of  individual  clocks.  Table 1-1  [see
datasheet] lists  the operating frequencies  of the CPU local  bus and
the system logic with the oscillator used.

The 2X  clock mode is recommended  for a CPU frequency  no faster than
33Mhz because the system logic  is available at the targeted speed and
the  performance  is  slightly  better  than if  1X  clock  mode  were
used. For  a CPU  frequency faster  than 33Mhz, the  1X clock  mode is
preferred  for  486  systems  because  it  becomes  increasingly  more
difficult to  build a reliable  system with an oscillator  faster than
66Mhz.
