**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.

**VT82C680     Apollo P6, Pentium-Pro Chip Set               <08/30/96
***Notes:...
***Info:
The  VT82C680  Apollo-P6 is  a  high  performance, cost-effective  and
energy efficient  chip set for  the implementation of  PCI/ISA desktop
and  notebook personal  computer systems  based  on the  64 bit  Intel
Pentium-Pro  super-scalar  processors.   The chipset  supports  multi-
Pentium-Pro configuration  with Intel GTL+ driver  and receiver inter-
face up  to 66 MHz external  CPU bus speed.  The  chipset supports the
Pentium-Pro CPU multi-phase bus protocols for split transactions, four
level deep  in-order queue and  deferred transactions for  optimal CPU
throughput.

The VT82C680 chip set consists  of the VT82C685 system controller, the
VT82C687 data buffer and the  VT82C586 PCI to ISA bridge. The VT82C680
supports six banks  of DRAMs up to 1 GB.  The DRAM controller supports
Standard Page Mode DRAM, EDO-DRAM, Burst EDO-DRAM and Synchronous DRAM
in a  flexible mixed/match manner. The Burst-EDO  and Synchronous DRAM
allows zero wait state bursting between the DRAM and the VT82C687 data
buffers at  66 MHz. The six  banks of DRAM allow  arbitrary mixture of
1M/2M/4M/8M/16MxN  DRAMs  with optional  bank-by-bank  ECC and  parity
support. The chipset supports sixteen level (quadwords) of CPU to DRAM
write  buffers and  sixteen  level  (quadwords) of  DRAM  to CPU  read
buffers to  maximize the CPU bus  and DRAM utilization.  The peak data
transfer rate for the EDO and Synchronous DRAM (or Burst EDO) DRAMs is
266 MB/s and 532 MB/s, respectively.

The VT82C680 supports 3.3/5v 32 bit PCI bus with 64 bit to 32 bit data
conversion.  Sixteen levels  (doublewords) of  post write  buffers are
included to  allow for concurrent  CPU and PCI  operation. Consecutive
CPU addresses  are converted into  burst PCI cycles with  Byte merging
capability  for  optimal  CPU   to  PCI  throughput.  For  PCI  master
operation,  sixteen levels  (doublewords)  of post  write buffers  and
thirty-two levels  (doublewords) of prefetch buffers  are included for
concurrent PCI bus and  DRAM/cache accesses. The chipset also supports
enhanced    PCI    bus     commands    such    as    Memory-Read-Line,
Memory-Read-Multiple  and  Memory-Write-Invalid  commands to  minimize
snoop overhead.  In addition,  the chipset supports  advanced features
such as  snoop ahead, snoop  filtering, CPU write-back forward  to PCI
master  and CPU  write-back  merged  with PCI  post  write buffers  to
minimize PCI  master read latency  and DRAM utilization.  The VT82C586
PCI to ISA bridge supports  four levels (doublewords) of line buffers,
type F DMA transfers and  delay transaction to allow efficient PCI bus
utilization (PCI-2.1 compliant). The VT82C586 also includes integrated
keyboard controller  with PS2 mouse support,  integrated DS12885 style
real time  clock with  extended 128 Byte  CMOS RAM,  integrated master
mode enhanced  IDE controller with full scatter  and gather capability
and extension  to 33 MB/sec UltraDMA-33 transfer  rate, integrated USB
interface with root hub and  two function ports with built-in physical
layer transceiver, and OnNow/ACPI compliant advanced configuration and
power management  interface. A complete main board  can be implemented
with only six TTLs.

The VT82C680 is ideal for  high performance, high quality, high energy
efficient and  high integration desktop and  notebook PCI/ISA computer
systems.
