**F87000   Multi-Mode Peripheral Chip                         11/23/93
***Info:
The F87000  Multi-Mode Peripheral  Chip is a  companion to  the F8680A
PC/CHIP single-chip PC. By strapping  pins to select the desired mode,
the F87000 device becomes one of four integrated peripheral chips that
extend the functionality of PC/CHIP.

Chips and Technologies, Inc. has designed the F87000 chip specifically
for use  with the F8680A  microchip to accommodate  portable computing
devices   and  embedded   control   applications  where   integration,
conservation of board space, and power consumption are critical.

In  PCMCIA  card  implementations,  card buffering  and  isolation  is
recommended for  design robustness,  especially in rugged  use enviro-
nments.  The buffering ensures that  the PCMCIA card receives a strong
clean  signal, while the  isolation provides  both the  protection for
"hot card insertion" and is hardwired for turning off power to a card.
Hardware isolation,  supported with Power  Management SuperState code,
minimizes the system’s power  consumption.  PCMCIA card slots that are
not properly buffered and isolated run  a high risk of a system crash/
failure if the cards are inserted/removed while the slot is powered.

The PC/CHIP F87000 is designed to be used in four modes. 
o    Mode 1 ---- Single PCMCIA card buffering support provides:
     • 20-bit address buffer.
     • 16-bit bidirectional data buffer.
     • Buffering for five control signals.
o    Modes 2 and 3 ---- Dual PCMCIA card buffering support provides:
     • Individual address buffering (64MB each).
     • Individual data bus buffering.
     • Two OR gates.
o    Mode 4 ---- Multifunctional mode provides:
     • Keyboard circuitry interfacing to a 16 x 8 keyboard matrix.
     • Clock divider conversion of 14.31818MHz to 1.8432MHz output 
       (divide by 7.77).
     • Parallel printer port.
     • IDE interface.
     • 7-bit configuration ports plus external select for port 
       expansion.

***Features:
o   Fully static design substantially reduces power consumption when 
    compared to discrete TTL designs, allowing direct battery drive.
o   3.3V or 5V operation provides flexibility for system design and 
    allows dynamic 3.3/5V switching of system voltage to further 
    reduce power consumption.
o   Each F8700 device can be strapped to configure one of three 
    buffer modes or a multi-function mode, reducing parts inventory 
    requirements.
o   High integration means each F8700 mode replaces at least seven 
    discrete TTL devices.
o   Full isolation of PCMCIA memory and I/O cards is supported to 
    allow safe insertion and removal of cards, both "hot" and "cold."
o   PCMCIA buffer modes are completely PCMCIA 2.0-compatible.
o   For single PCMCIA card support, Mode 1 buffers 20 address lines 
    and 5 control lines.  Because of the quiet bus design of PC/CHIPm 
    the upper address lines can be connected directly to the PCMCIA 
    card slot in a single card system for full 64MB support.
o   For dual PCMCIA card support, Modes 2 and 3 together buffer all 
    necessary address and control lines for independent 64MB support 
    of each card.
o   Between PCMCIA cycles, the F87000 sets PCMCIA buses and control 
    lines to a low-power state to consume only a fraction of the power 
    used in a standard TTL buffer design.
o   Multi-function mode (Mode 4) provides keyboard scanning, a 
    parallel interface, and IDE interface, a configuration latch, and 
    a 1.8MHz UART clock generation circuit.
o   Keyboard scan interface in the multi-function mode requires only a 
    single external resister pack and provides an interrupt to the 
    system on key depression. The interface can be used instead as 
    general-purpose 16-bit output and 8-bit input ports.
o   Parallel interface in the multi-functional mode allows high-speed,
    PS/2-compatible bidirectional communication with other systems.
o   Configuration latch can be used to control seven external devices 
    plus the UART clock divider. An additional decode line accommo-
    dates an external latch for eight more device control lines.
