***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

**VL82C521/522     Lynx/M                                            ?
***Info:
The VL82C520  Lynx/M chipset is  VLSI's system solution  optimized for
the expanding  mobile Pentium  market. Carrying forward  VLSI's mobile
strategy  and leveraging  successful  desktop innovations  to offer  a
complete  solution, Lynx/M  leaps  forward and  integrates the  system
controller into a  single Ball Grid Array (BGA)  package.  Included in
the Lynx/M  solution is a  PCI "Super I/O" controller  that integrates
all  the  standard  mobile  peripherals. The  Lynx/M  offers  a  total
solution  compatible with  the Common  Architecture industry  standard
implementing highly efficient DDMA  (Distributed DMA), Serial IRQ, and
features  for primary  PCI  hot docking  using  a Common  Architecture
compatible PCI to PCI bridge in the docking station.

Lynx/M System Controller; VL82C521
Packaged in a  space-efficient low-profile 352 BGA,  the Lynx/M System
Controller  is  the  heart  of the  solution.   BGA  packaging  allows
integrating functions usually partitioned  into multiple packages. the
integrated functions  include a 66Mhz  CPU interface, 3.3V  mobile PCI
2.1  compliant  bus  controller,  64-bit  SDRAM,  EDO,  and  FPM  DRAM
controller with nine-deep fast access smart write-buffers, on-board L2
256KB  write-back   cache  controller,  and  VLSI's   WATTSmart  power
management control.   The DRAM interface  provides drive for up  to 24
memory   devices   thereby   eliminating   the   need   for   external
drivers. Also, selecting SDRAM provides the opportunity to implement a
high performance system without an L2 cache.

Lynx/M Peripheral Controller; VL82C522
The Lynx/M  chipset also includes a  PCI Super I/O device,  the Lynx/M
Mobile Peripheral  Controller (MPC). This  device, also packaged  in a
low-profile 352 BGA,  integrates a PCI 2.1 compliant  bus interface, a
fully  buffered Bus  Mastering  IDE controller,  an  '077 floppy  disk
controller,  Enhanced Capabilities  Port (ECP),  two 16550  UARTs with
modem  functionality, an  SMB/I2C  bus, an  IrDA  1.1 compatible  Fast
Infrared  communications  port  with ASK  functionality,  a  Real-Time
Clock,  two pulse-width  modulator  outputs (PWM),  and  a 33MHz  8052
microcontroller.   Two on-board  PLLs with  buffering provide  all the
required system  clocks from  only two  crystal inputs,  14.318MHz and
32KHz.

A sub-ISA bus  supporting 8- or 16-bit I/O or  DDMA transfers, and ISA
Bus Mastering supports audio devices. Additionally, eight positive PCI
address decodes provide support to Sub-ISA peripherals.

The 8052 provides the  keyboard controller functionality with built-in
scan for matrix keyboards and  system boot controller functionality to
completely wake  up any part  or all of the  system from any  level of
suspend. The  wake-up event can be  a system event, timer,  or any key
depression on the  keyboard. The MPC also provides up  to 25 GPIO pins
with  expansion capabilities  to  provide flexible  control of  system
components.

Singular  ROM architecture  enabled  by the  integrated 8052  keyboard
controller saves both PCB space and cost by permitting a solitary ROM,
Flash, or  SRAM device to  be used  for keyboard, graphics  and system
BIOS.

WATTSMART Power Management
Incorporated  in  the  Lynx/M  chipset,  the  WATTSmart  is  a  System
Management  Mode-based  power  management system.  WATTSmart  includes
multiple system event monitoring,  a watchdog timer, System Management
Interrupt  (SMI)  generation,  multiple  I/O  traps,  CPU  Stop  Clock
control, and provides three general purpose system Management I/O pins
(SMIOs) for control and monitoring of external devices.

Virtually all activity resources are  available as speed up events and
to generate SMIs. SMIs can be  generated by activity or after a period
of inactivity. An SMI that is generated from activity is generally for
a powered-down device,  and the SMM handler can  restore the device to
normal operation. An SMI from activity  can also be used to resume the
system, start the clocks, etc.

Background
Lynx/M  incorporates  functions  from   previous  desktop  and  mobile
chipsets.  Baselinning from proven core system blocks and modifying to
reflect new market requirements allows VLSI to meet the Time-To-Market
expectations while minimizing risk.

Utilizing high-pin count  BGA packaging allows Lynx/M  to reduce board
space requirements by  greater than 45%.  this allows room  on the PCB
for  additional   functionality  while  reducing  the   complexity  of
multi-layer system boards.

Accessing VLSI's  internal fab technology  allows Lynx/M a path  to an
advanced  0.6um CMOS  process  thereby achieving  a  true 3.3V  system
without performance trade-offs.
