**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.

**VL82C031/032/033      PS/2 Model 30-compatible chip set          c88
***Notes:...
***Info:
The chip set  integrates logic on PS/2 Model  30-Compatible systems to
the point of  reducing the printed circuit board device  count by half
when  memories   are  excluded.   Further,  while   offering  complete
compatibility with the PS/2 Model  30-Compatible system, the VLSI chip
set improves system  performance by allowing 10 MHz  operation with no
"wait states" (using 150 ns DRAMs), supports an additional 8M bytes of
memory  using EMS  (Expanded Memory  Specification) 4.0,  and controls
system speed as necessary for optimum performance.

A third  device the  VL82C037 VGA Video  Graphics Controller,  is also
used  in  the  PS/2  Model  30-Compatible  system  and  provides  high
resolution graphics of up to 800  x 600 pixels with 16 colors. Graphic
capabilities  with this  resolution  are usually  found  only on  more
expensive systems.

The VL82C031  provides the PS/2  Model 30-Compatible system  with dual
speed  control,  8 MHz  or  10  MHz, to  operate  the  system at  peak
performance.  The device  also controls  memory, I/O,  parity, address
paths, and  data paths  as well  as handling  four channels  of direct
memory access. The VL82C031 is available from VLSI Technology, Inc. in
an industry-standard plastic 100-pin flatpack.

The CMOS VL82C031 is the System Controller device in the two-chip VLSI
PS/2 Model 30-Compatible chip set.

The  chip can  be  brought  to a  power-down  mode  to conserve  power
dissipation when static RAM is used. The chip can then be woke up from
power-down mode by an external interrupt.

The VL82C032 provides the PS/2 Model 30-Compatible system with control
of both the keyboard and the pointing device ("mouse"), control of two
serial  communi-  cation  channels,  a real-time  clock,  as  well  as
controlling  both the  disk  storage and  display  functions. It  also
provides  the chip  select logic  for the  functions in  controls. The
VL82C032  is available  from VLSI  Technology, Inc.   in an  industry-
standard plastic 100-pin flatpack.

The  CMOS  VL82C032  is  the Input/Output  Controller  device  in  the
two-chip VLSI PS/2 Model 30-compatible chip set.

[The following text is from the '88 version:]

The VL82C033/OTi-033 is the Floppy  Disk Controller and Data Separator
device  in  the three  chip  VLSI/OTi  PS/2 Model  30-Compatible  chip
set. The other two devices  are the VL82C031/OTi-031 System Controller
and the VL82C032/OTi-032 I/O Controller.

The VL82C033/OTi-033 provides the PS/2 Model 30-Compatible system with
a uPD  756A- compatible floppy  disk controller function,  a precision
analog  data separator,  an  internal phase  comparator, the  required
filters,  as  well as  a  voltage  controlled oscillator  (VCO).   The
VL82C033/OTi-033  provides the  system with  three floppy  disk rates:
250K bits-per-second, 300K bits-per-second, and 500K bits-per- second.
the VL82C033/OTi-033 is available form  both VLSI Technology, Inc. and
Oak Technology, Inc.  in an industry-standard plastic 48 pin DIP.
