**82496/491     Cache Controller / Cache RAM (for P5 Pentium) 03/22/93
***Notes:...
***Info:
The 82496 Cache Controller and multiple 82491 Cache SRAMs combine with
the Pentium processor  to form a CPU Cache chip  set designed for high
performance  servers  and   function-rich  desktops.  The  high  speed
interconnect between  the CPU and cache components  has been optimized
to  provide zero-wait  state operation.   This CPU  Cache chip  set is
fully compatible  with existing software,  and has new  data integrity
features for mission critical applications.

The 82496 cache controller implements the MESI write-back protocol for
full multiprocessing support. Dual  ported buffers and registers allow
the 82496  to concurrently  handle CPU bus,  memory bus,  and internal
cache operation for maximum performance.

The 82491. is a customized high-performance SRAM that supports 32, 64,
and 128-bit  wide memory bus widths,  16, 32, and 64  byte line sizes,
and optional sectoring.  The data path between the  CPU bus and memory
bus  is separated  by the  82491, allowing  the CPU  bus  to handshake
synchronously,  asynchronously,  or   with  a  strobed  protocol,  and
allowing concurrent CPU bus and memory bus operations.

**82C895         System/Power Management Controller (cached)   c:Sep94
***Notes:...
***Info:
Overview
The 82C895 provides a highly integrated solution for fully compatible,
high performance  PC/AT platforms.   This chipset will  support 486SX/
DX/DX2/DX4  and P24T microprocessors  in the  most cost  effective and
power  efficient  designs  available  today.  For  power  users,  this
chipset offers optimum performance for systems running up to 50MHz.

Based  fundamentally  on  OPTi's   proven  82C801  and  82C802  design
architectures,  the 82C895 adds  additional memory  configurations and
extensive  power  management  control  for  the  processor  and  other
motherboard components.

The  820895  supports the  latest  write-back  processor designs  from
Intel, AMD, and Cyrix, as well as supporting the AT bus and VESA local
bus  for   compatibility  and   performance.   It  also   includes  an
82C206-compatible  Integrated Peripherals Controller  (IPC). all  in a
single 208-pin PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Pack) package for low cost.

2.1 Power Management

This block diagram [see  datasheet] exemplifies the flexibility of the
82C895/82C602 GREEN  strategy.  System designs  can easily accommodate
both SLe  and non-SLe  CPUs. If  an Intel non-SLe  CPU is  used, SMI#,
SMIACT#, and  FLUSH# are no  connects.  One design can  easily accomm-
odate both types of processors with minimal changes for upgrades.
