**82430MX PCIset (Pentium) MX (Mobile Triton)(82437/438MX)11/01/95
***Notes:...
***Info:
The Intel 430MX PCIset consists of the 82437MX System Controller
(MTSC). two 82438MX Data Paths (MTDP), and the 82371MX PCI I/O IDE
Xcelerator (MPIIX). The PCIset forms a Host-to-PCI bridge and provides
the second level cache control and a full function 64-bit data path to
main memory. The MTSC integrates the cache and main memory DRAM
control functions and provides bus control for transfers between the
CPU, cache, main memory, and the PCI Bus. The second level (L2) cache
controller supports a write-back cache policy for cache sizes of 256
Kbytes and 512 Kbytes. Cacheless designs are also supported. The cache
memory can be implemented with either standard, burst, or pipelined
burst SRAMs. An external Tag RAM is used for the address tag and an
internal Tag RAM for the cache line status bits. For the MTSC DRAM
controller, four rows are supported for up to 128 Mbytes of main
memory. The MTSC optimized PCI interface allows the CPU to sustain the
highest possible bandwidth to the graphics frame buffer at all
frequencies. Using the snoop ahead feature, the MTSC allows PCI
masters to achieve full PCI bandwidth. The MTDPs provide the data
paths between the CPU/cache, main memory, and PCI. For increased
system performance. the MTDPs contain read prefetch and posted write
buffers.

***Notes:...
***Info:
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The 82489DX Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller provides
multiprocessor interrupt management, providing both static and dynamic
symmetrical interrupt distribution across all processors.
The main function of the 82489DX is to provide interrupt management
across all processors. This dynamic interrupt distribution includes
routing of the interrupt to the lowest-priority processor. The 82489DX
works in systems with multiple I/O subsystems, where each subsystem
can have its own set of interrupts. This chip also provides
inter-processor interrupts, allowing any processor to interrupt any
processor or set of processor. Each 82489DX I/O init interrupt input
pin is individually programmable by software as either edge or level
triggered. The interrupt vector and interrupt steering information an
be specified per pin. A 32-bit wide timer is provided that can be
programmed to interrupt the local processor. the timer can be used as
a counter to provide a time base to software running on the processor,
or to generate time slice interrupts locally to that processor. the
82489DX provides 32-bit software access to its internal
registers. Since no 82489DX register read have any side effects, the
82489DX registers can be aliased to a user read-only page for fast
user access (e.g., performance monitoring timers).
The 82489DX supports a generalized naming/addressing scheme that can
be tailored by software to fit a variety of system architectures and
usage models. It also supports 8259A compatibility by becoming
virtually transparent with regard to an externally connected 8259A
style controller, making the 8259A visible to software.
