**82C710 Universal Peripheral Controller c:Aug90
***Info:
The 82C710 Universal Peripheral Controller (UPC) is a single chip
controller offering the complete I/P solution for the PC-XT & PC-AT
environments. The chip is an LSI implementation of the most commonly
used peripheral devices found in an IBM PC, XT or AT. It features 24
mA drivers for the output buffers, including the host data bus and
parallel port data bus. it incorporates one 16450 compatible UART, one
enhanced parallel port (with bi-directional capability), an IDE
compatible hard disk interface, a uPD72065B compatible floppy disk
controller, PS/2 type mouse logic, and various chip selects. Decoding
logic and support for main, auxiliary and standby power supplies and
software configurable base addresses for these devices, operational
modes and interrupts are also included. Power management aspects of
the 82C710 includes modular power down for each port, and software
oscillator disable. The hardware power management is done through the
PWRGD pin. When the chip is powered down (i.e. when PWRGD is inactive)
the current drawn is less than 250 microAmps, all the inputs are
disabled, and all outputs are tristated. The contents of all the
registers are preserved, as long as power supply to the 82C710 is
maintained.
The host interface is a PC compatible, (i.e. D0-D7, A0,A9, IOR, IOW,
AEN, MINTR, FINTR, PINTR, SINTR, and RESET), and can be connected
directly to the bus. The data buffers (D0-D7, PD0-PD7, IDED7) are
capable of sinking 24 mA @ 0.5V, the parallel port control signals are
open collector with internal pull up, and are capable of sinking 24 mA
@ 0.5V.
The UART implements a fully functional serial link. Programmable
character length, parity generation and detection, stop-bit generation
and baud rate generation are provided. Double buffering is used so
that precise synchronization is unnecessary. Status information is
accessible to the CPU by reading internal registers. MODEM control
lines are provided, as are internal diagnostic functionality and
interrupt prioritization. Support for an auxiliary power system (such
as that derived from a telephone line or R8232 link) permits a UPC in
a battery-powered device to consume no battery power until an incoming
character is detected.
The parallel port can be configured for output only (printer
application) or input and output (scanner application). The necessary
control signals are provided for use as a Centronics-compatible
(output only) parallel port. For scanner applications, a Cent-
ronics-like interface is used. Such an interface is utilized by the
RICOH 1830 scanner.
The configuration RAM and circuitry support programmable base
addresses for all registers internal to the UPC. This permits creation
of a menu-driven program for system configuration. Selection of
sources for interrupts, enabling and configuring of on-chip subsystems
(UARTs, parallel port, etc.) and control of the configuration process
itself are also handled with this RAM and its associated circuitry.
The remainder of this data sheet will consider each of the aforesaid
subsystems individually. Sections containing more general design data
for the chip as a whole are at the end along with electrical and
physical characteristics.

**82485 Turbo Cache (and 485Turbocache) c90
***Notes:...
***Info:
The 82485 is a second-level cache controller designed to improve the
performance of Intel486 Microprocessor systems. One 82485 cache
controller supports 64K or 128K bytes of second level cache memory
that maps to the entire 4 Gigabytes of the Intel486 microprocessor
address space. The controller is completely software transparent. One
controller plus SRAMs provides a 64K or a 128K cache. External EPROM
can be cached yet remain write protected. The 82485 is fully
compatible with the Intel486 microprocessor. All Intel486 CPU bus
cycles and timings are supported.
A complete, optional second level cache controller using the 82485 is
available as the 485Turbocache Module from Intel (data sheet order
number 240722).
2.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Introduction
The 82485 is a single ported, two-way set associative cache controller
designed specifically to interface with the Intel486 microprocessor.
The controller supports either a sectored configuration (two lines per
tag) or a non-sectored configuration (one line per tag). The 82485
will directly support a nonsectored 64K data cache or a 128K sectored
data cache. Both the 64K and 128K configurations are able to map the
entire 4 gigabytes of the Intel486 microprocessor address space. The
82485 interfaces directly to the Intel486 microprocessor. All Intel-
486 CPU bus cycles and timings are supported. The 82485 also supports
0 wait state processor operation when there is a cache hit and has
provisions to support invalidation cycles, BOFF# cycles, and premature
BLAST# terminations. The controller is look aside (monitors bus act-
ivity in parallel to the processor) and write through (all writes pro-
pagate to the system bus), so it supports the same cache consistency
mechanisms as the Intel486 CPU. The controller also provides a safe
method to cache ROM BIOS through the use of a write protect pin and a
write protect strapping option.
The data cache (Static RAM) resides external to the 82485. The 82485
provides all controls for the SRAMs. No external latches or tran-
ceivers are required. The 82485 output buffers support up to eight
SRAMs. A 64K cache can be designed with only five components; nine
components for a 128K cache. Two-way set associativity is provided by
dual banked SRAMs. Data parity is supported.
The 82485 can be used to design a custom second level cache
configuration. For an easier system design and higher integration, the
82485M Turbocache can be used (see data sheet order number 240722).
This module is a complete second level cache in one package. It
consists of a single 82485 cache controller and SRAM to provide a
complete 64K or 128K second level Intel486 microprocessor second level
cache.
