**HT21          386SX/286 Single Chip (20 MHz)                 c:Aug91
***Info:
The HT21  is an  advanced PC/AT compatible,  single-chip 80386SX/80286
design solution.   This highly  integrated single chip  allows simple,
low cost  system design options while featuring  high performance, low
power  consumption,  and minimum  board  space requirements.  Advanced
memory management features  include support for page mode,  2 or 4-way
interleaving in  both pipelined and  non-pipelined modes. The  LIM 4.0
hardware implementation  features dual sets of 32  registers with full
context support for highest performance Optimization of extended local
memory  accesses. An  advanced  EMS hardware  write-protect option  is
provided. The HT21 supports 256K and 1M DRAMs in l by 1, 1 by 4, and 1
by 9 device configurations for up  to 8MB of on-board system memory. A
flexible Shadow  RAM option for  System and Video  BIOS as well  as 8-
16-bit BIOS Options adds to overall design versatility.

A  complete PC/AT  compatible  system with  advanced  features may  be
implemented with minimal external support logic. The HT21 performs all
CPU  and peripheral support  functions in  a single  chip.  Integrated
device  functions include  DMA Controllers,  a Memory  Mapper, Timers,
Counters, Interrupt  Controllers, a Bus Controller  and all supporting
circuitry for PC  core logic requirements. The chip  also contains all
the  necessary  address buffers,  data  transceivers, memory  drivers,
parity  checking   and  supporting  circuitry  for   a  complete  high
performance computer solution. An asynchronous AT Bus clock allows for
a constant 8MHz Bus clock rate for highest bus device compatibility as
defined in  IEEE Spec P996.   In controlled bus applications  the HT21
supports up to a  12 MHz Bus Clock rate. This device  is packaged in a
208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack combining several external buffers into
this space saving solution.

**VL82C594/596/597 Wildcat                                         c95
***Notes:...
***Info:
Wildcat is  a 586-class PCI  chipset comprised of the  VL82C594 System
Controller, two  VL82C595 Data Buffers, and  the VL82C596/VL82C597 ISA
Bridge. The VL82C596 is for single processor systems using a P5, P54C,
P54CS, P55C,  K5, or M1 CPU.  The VL82C597 includes the  Intel IO APIC
for use  in Intel-based dual processor systems.  The VL82C594 supports
up to 1G of  fast page mode or EDO DRAM. It also  supports up to 1M of
async,  sync, or  PBSRAM.  The  VL82C595 data  buffers  work with  the
VL82C594  to  provide 3smart2  write  buffering  to yield  exceptional
performance with  or without an L2  cache. The VL82C596/597  acts as a
PCI-ISA bridge and incorporates advanced power management features and
a Real-Time Clock with integrated write protection.
