**82C496/7       DXBB PC/AT Chipset (Cached)                 <01/16/92
***Info:
The OPTi  82C497 is a Direct  Mapped Write Back  cache controller with
one level write buffer that is  an optional part of the DXBB (Building
Block) Chip  set.  The DXBB also  contains the 82C496  and the 82C206,
which form the  heart of the system.  The 82C497 is  added to the DXBB
chip set for cache based systems.

The OPTi  82C496 offers an  upgradable CPU module  base-board solution
for the 80386  or the 80486 PC/AT system. By  swapping the CPU module,
the  vendor can configure  the 82C496  driven base-board  into various
32-bit AT  systems - 386 or 486  CPU, with cache or  without cache and
rated at 16MHz- 50MHz.

For the Non-Cache systems, the CPU interfaces directly with the 82C496
and the local devices, like the local VGA controller or the local hard
disk adaptor.

For cache based systems the 82C497 (the cache controller) sits between
the CPU and  the 82C496 and the local devices.  All the high frequency
signals are isolated by the  82C497. This allows the base-board to run
at a fixed speed  (25 or 33MHz) - while the CPU  and the Cache can run
synchronously at any determined  rated speed. This provides a reliable
upgrade method for the CPU modules.

**VT82C496G    Pluto, Green PC 80486 PCI/VL/ISA System       <05/30/94
***Info:
The   VT82C496G  is   a  cost-effective   implementation  of   a  high
integration, high performance and  high energy efficient VL/ISA system
based  on the  80486SX/DX/DX2/DX4  or compatible  processor.  With  an
optional VT82C505  VL-PCI bridge,  the system can  be extended  to the
PCI/VL/ISA platform  that offers top rated PCI  performance and proven
PCI-2.0 compliance. In either  case, the VT82C496G interfaces directly
with the  VT82C406MV IXP (Integrated X-bus  Peripherals) that replaces
the  multiclock  generator, the  keyboard  controller  with PS2  mouse
support, the DS-1285  style real time clock with 128  byte of CMOS RAM
and certain amount of glue logic.  Less than ten TTLs are required for
a  complete  main  board  implementation  in  addition  to  the  chips
mentioned above.

In addition  to the VL bus  controller, cache and  DRAM controller and
ISA  bus  controller  with  the  82C206  peripherals  (DMA,  interrupt
controller  and timer),  the VT82C496G  also includes  a  flexible CPU
interface, a notebook class power  management unit and a local bus IDE
controller  to   meet  the   demand  of  the   state-of-art  computing
requirement. The function block  diagram of the VT82C496G is indicated
in Figure 1. The system block  diagram of a PCI/VL/ISA system based on
the VT82C496G is indicated in Figure 2. [see datasheet]
