**82497/492   Cache Controller / Cache RAM (for P54 Pentium)    <Nov94

The info and features section have  been solely sourced from the first
source.   The  second source  provides  far  more detail.   Additional
information in the configurations section  and below have been sourced
from the second.

"Although the 82497 Cache Controller  is part of the Pentium processor
(735\90, 815\100, 1000\120, 1110\133) CPU-Cache Chip Set and the 82496
Cache  Controller is part  of the  Pentium Processor  (510\60, 567\66)
Chip  Set, the  two parts  are functionally  identical except  for the
differences noted in this section." - p491

Aside  from some  minor  differences in  pin  configuration, the  main
difference is the direct support  for 3.3V processors. This chipset is
still a 5V part. The cache operates at bus speed, max 66MHz.


This  chip was  used on  the Pentium  90MHz CPU  complexes of  Intel's
Xpress  platform.   Specifically  the BXCPUPENT90  (Single  90MHz,  16
82492s). Also found on IBM 9595/Server 500 Pentium 90MHz complexes.

**UM82152      Cache Controller (AUStek A38152 clone)              <91
***Info:
The  UM82152 is a  high-performance cache  controller for  Intel 80386
based   systems  and   provides   high  levels   of  integration   and
functionality.  It interfaces  directly  to the  80386; no  additional
support  logic  is required.   A  complete  32-kilobyte  cache can  be
designed with just one UM82152 and four 8K by 8-bit static RAMs.

The  UM82152 architecture  enables easy  design-in with  current speed
versions  of  the  80386,  and  simple  migration  to  faster  version
processors with no alteration to system or memory design.

The 80386,  operating in  pipelined mode with  the UM82152,  runs with
zero  wait states during  a cache  hit (requested  data is  present in
cache). If  the data is not  present (cache miss), it  is fetched from
main  memory by  the  UM82152.  This  approach  yields the  high-speed
performance  of fast  SRAMs for  code and  data most  frequently used,
while  providing design  economies (such  as board  space  savings and
lower component costs)  by storing infrequently used code  and data in
slower  dynamic RAM (with  cycle times  greater than  125 nanoseconds)
that  can  be  located  in  large  memory  banks  either  on-board  or
off-board.

The reduced system bus  traffic inherent in the UM82152 implementation
produces system performance gains by  freeing the bus for use by other
devices.
