**82370       Integrated System Peripheral (for 82376)         c:Oct88
***Notes:...
***Info:
The  82370  is a  multi-function  support  peripheral that  integrates
system  functions necessary  in  an 80376  environment.  It has  eight
channels  of  high performance  32-bit  DMA  (32-bit internal,  16-bit
external) with the most efficient transfer rates possible on the 80376
bus.  System support  peripherals  integrated into  the 82370  provide
Interrupt  Control,  Timers,   Wait  State  generation,  DRAM  Refresh
Control, and System Reset logic.

The  82370's  DMA Controller  can  transfer  data  between devices  of
different data  path widths using  a single channel. Each  DMA channel
operates independently  in any  of several modes;  Each channel  has a
temporary data storage register  for handling non-aligned data without
the need for external alignment logic.

1.0 FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The  82370  contains   several  independent  functional  modules.  The
following is a brief discussion  of the components and features of the
82370. Each module has a  corresponding detailed section later in this
data  sheet. Those  sections  should  be referred  to  for design  and
programming information.

1.1 82370 Architecture

The 82370 is  comprised of several computer system  functions that are
normally found in separate LSI  and VLSI components.  These include: a
high-performance,   eight-channel,   32-bit   Direct   Memory   Access
Controller; a  20-level Programmable  Interrupt Controller which  is a
superset of the 82C5SA; four 16-bit Programmable Interval Timers which
are  functionally  equivalent  to   the  82C54  timers;  DRAM  Refresh
Controller;  a Programmable  Wait  State Generator;  and system  reset
logic. The  interface to the  82370 is optimized  for high-performance
operation with the 80376 microprocessor.

The 82370  operates directly on the  80376 bus. In the  Slave Mode, it
monitors the  state of the  processor at all  times and acts  or idles
according  to  the commands  of  the  host.  It monitors  the  address
pipeline status and generates the programmed number of wait states for
the device  being accessed. The 82370  also has logic to  the reset of
the  80376  via hardware  or  software  reset  requests and  processor
shutdown status.

After a  system reset, the 82370 is  in the Slave Mode.  It appears to
the  system as  an I/O  device. It  becomes a  bus master  when  it is
performing DMA transfers.

To maintain compatibility with existing software, the registers within
the 82370  are accessed as bytes.  If the internal logic  of the 82370
requires a delay  before another access by the  processor, wait states
are  automatically inserted into  the access  cycle.  This  allows the
programmer to  write initialization  routines, etc. without  regard to
hardware recovery times.

**82C381/382     HiD/386             (386DX)                      c:89
***Info:
The  HiD/386 Chipset,  82C381  and 82C382D, support  high  integration
implementations of Direct Mapped  Cache with 32KB/64KB/128KB Cache for
25 and  33 MHz  386/AT Personal Computers.  Combined  with  the 82C206
Integrated  Peripherals Controller, it  integrates the  386/AT mother-
board to under 20 devices, plus memory.  It is designed to cost reduce
discrete and CHIPS’CS8230 based 82385 Cache 386/AT designs, as well as
boost the performance of these designs to 33 MHz, with >64KB Cache.

The 82681 provides system control logic and data bus conversion logic.
The  control logic consists  of 386  CPU control  logic, AT  Bus cycle
control, 387 Numeric Processor control logic, synchronous clock divide
logic and control of the local peripheral bus. The data bus conversion
logic consists of various 8, 16, 32 bit conversions for ROM cycles, AT
bus cycles and memory cycles.

The 820382D  performs the Memory  Management functions for  the HiD/AT
chipset. It  is designed to  optimize cost of high  performance 386/AT
systems with 64KB, l28KB or larger Direct Mapped Cache Memory. It also
implements logic to maintain compatibility  in the AT environment . It
provides a Page  Interleave backend for main DRAM memory,  in order to
improve  performance during  miss  cycles. It  also  has features  for
reducing system cost.

It minimizes  Cache Memory cost by  allowing the use of  slow SRAM; by
supporting single EPROM BIOS configurations; putting DRAM on the local
bus and  consequently reducing DRAM  speeds by 15ns typically;  and by
remapping 256K of DRAM between 640K and 1024K to top of main memory.

It provides a very flexible implementation of paging for the main DRAM
memory.   For even  bank configurations,  it provides  2-way  or 4-way
interleaving;  for odd  banks  it provides  paging.   This provides  a
flexible  approach to  increasing  the  size of  the  local memory  as
software demands increase, without imposing a penalty on performance.

Finally, memory performance is  optimized by shadow RAM techniques for
BIOS ROMs; concatenated pages for multiple hank configurations; paging
for odd banks; and variable page size for larger DRAMs.

System Architecture
The  HiD/AT   chipset  is   compatible  with  the   82C206  Integrated
Peripherals  Controller. Consequently,  with the  82C206, a  very high
integration  and very high  performance 386/AT  can be  implemented. A
typical motherboard  can be  designed with less  than 20  devices plus
memory.

For  larger  AT designs,  targeted  at  file-servers and  departmental
computers, designs with 8 or more slots can be supported with external
AT bus drivers.
