***Notes:...
***Info:
The OPTi Python Chipset provides a highly integrated solution for
fully compatible, high-performance PC/AT platforms. Together, with
OPTi's 82C206 Integrated Peripheral Controller (IPC), this chipset
will support the Pentium processor in the most cost effective and
feature-rich designs available today. This highly integrated approach
provides the foundation for a cost effective platform without
compromising performance. The OPTi Python Chipset supplies a powerful
solution positioned to deliver value without neglecting quality,
compatibility, or reliability.
The Python Chipset is comprised of two chips, the 82C547 System
Controller (SYSC) and the 82C546 AT Bus Controller (ATC). A complete
Pentium processor solution consists of the Python Chipset and the
82C206 Integrated Peripheral Controller (IPC).
82C546 (ATC) AT Bus Controller
The 82C546 ATC integrates the AT bus interface and data buffers for
transfers between the CPU data bus, local data bus and the DRAM data
bus. It also provides the ISA to local bus command translation.
o 208-pin PQFP
o Data bus buffer (host data to memory data)
o Data bus buffer control (ISA to memory)
o Parity generation and detection circuitry
o Keyboard controller chip select
o Local bus interface (ISA to local bus command translation)
82C547 (SYSC) System Controller
The 82C547 SYSC provides the control functions for the host CPU
interface, the 32-bit local bus interface, the 64-bit Level 2 (12)
cache and the 64-bit DRAM bus. The SYSC also controls the data flow
between the CPU bus, the DRAM bus, the local bus, and the 8/16-bit ISA
bus.
o 160-pin PQFP
o Pentium CPU interface
o DRAM controller
o L2 cache controller
o Ll cache controller
o Local bus interface
o Reset generation
o Arbitration logic
o Data bus buffer control (memory data to/from host data)
o Extended DMA page register
o Keyboard emulation of A20M# and CPU warm reset
o Port B and Port 92h Register
82C206 (IPC) Integrated Peripherals Controller
The 82C206 IPC provides two DMA controllers, two interrupt control-
lers, one timer/counter, and a real-time clock in an industry standard
single-chip solution for the peripherals attached to the PC/AT
peripheral bus.
o 84-pin PLCC or 100-pin PQFP
o Supports four DMA transfer modes
o Special Commands provided for ease of programming
Support Chips
The 82C606A and 82C606B are two buffer/translation devices used to
translate 3.3V signals to 5.0V signal levels in Python motherboard
solutions. These devices buffer the CPU address bus to the ISA and VL
address buses, the 82C546 ATC's memory data bus to the ISA data bus,
the peripheral XD bus to the ISA SA and SD buses. The 82C606A and
82C606B integrate a number of glue logic TTL devices (approximately
eleven), hence reducing the amount of TTL on the motherboard. The
82C606A and 82C606B devices are actually the same device with two
strapping options. Pulling the CONFI/2# pin high causes the device to
function in the 82C606A Mode. Pulling the CONFII2# pin low configures
the device to function in the 82C606B Mode of operation.
o 100-pin PQFP
o Mixed voltage to support 3.3V to 5.0V signal translation
o Two devices replace approximately eleven TTL devices

***Features:
PCI Bus
o PCI supports sustained X-1-1-1 bursts, even to DRAM through an
innovative mechanism. PCI operation can be concurrent with
CPU/L2 cache and IDE operations.
o PCI clock generation eliminates the need for external PCI clock
buffers in many designs and allows the PCI bus to be effectively
power-managed.
o 3.3V or 5.0V PCI is supported on the FireStar PCI bus. If FireStar
is configured for 3.3V operation, 5.0V-only PCI plug-in cards and
docking stations can still be supported through a bridge device
such as OPTi's 820824 Cardbus Controller/Docking Solution, whose
prefetch and post-write buffers off-load operations from the
primary PCI bus.
DRAM Controller
o Provides BIOS with the means to automatically detect the DRAM type
in use on each bank, whether fast page mode, EDO, or synchronous
DRAM, allowing BIOS routines to efficiently program DRAM
operation.
ISA Bus
o A full ISA bus is directly provided to support the keyboard
controller, BIOS ROM, and Compact ISA peripheral devices for local
ISA support with no TTL. When reduced ISA operation is selected,
other FireStar pins become available for general purpose use.
Bus Mastering IDE
o FireStar supports two bus mastering IDE channels that function
concurrently with operations on the CPU/L2 cache interface and PCI
interface. Up to four drives are supported.
o An emulated bus mastering IDE feature allows IDE drives that are
not commonly available as bus mastering devices, such as CD-ROM
drives, to act as bus mastering drives. For example, a CD-ROM
drive can transfer video data to DRAM while the CPU is
decompressing the data and sending it to the graphics controller.
Thermal Management
o Fail-safe thermal management incorporates feedback logic that
requires a very inexpensive external sensor circuit.
o Hardware monitors temperature directly and reliably, while the
fail-safe aspect of the circuitry ensures that sensor component
failure will automatically inhibit CPU clocking to prevent
overheating.
o SMM code will be able to read (and display if desired) actual CPU
temperature.
ACPI Implementation
o Microsoft Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is
being implemented in the FireStar silicon. ACPI is a standard
register interface for power management function jointly developed
by Microsoft, Intel, and Toshiba.
Miscellaneous
o The standard version of the chip can run at 3.3V, up to 66MHz on
the CPU bus.
o A new Context Save Mode feature allows chip registers to be saved
and restored more efficiently than ever before, requiring less SMM
code and storage space.
o The OPTi Viper-N+ Power Management Unit is used, maintaining
backward compatibility down to the register level with previously
written support firmware.
o Serial IRQs are supported as an option for interrupts on PCI.
o Known devices in the system can be positively decoded on the PCI
bus, eliminating the delay for subtractive decode and improving
the efficiency of ISA operations.
o ISA bus cycle speed can be individually controlled to certain ISA
device groups.
o Simple logic gate functions can be assigned to unused pins to
eliminate the need for external TTL. Pin programming is far more
flexible than ever possible on any other chip.
