**M1489/87 FinALi-486 PCI Chipset <Feb95
***Info:
ALi's M1489/M1487 PCI chipset is the most cost effective PCI solution
available. M1489/M1487 enables top-to-bottom PCI in 486 CPU systems,
offering superior price/performance for mainstream PCI-ISA systems.
M1489/M1487 highly integrates the DRAM controller, L2 cache control-
ler, Host, PCI, and ISA interface, as well as the standard ISA
functions: DMA controller, interrupt controller, timer/counter, RTC
(Real Time Clock), and keyboard controller. Additionally, M1489/M1487
incorporates the high performance Local Bus IDE allowing a system de-
signer to implement Local bus IDE with no additional cost. M1489/M1487
is a highly integrated solution requiring minimized TTL components,
enabling PCI-ISA designs at costs equal to or lower than comparable VL
Bus designs.
M1489 (Cache Memory PCI Controller: CMP) integrates the L2 cache con-
troller and the DRAM controller. The cache controller supports
write-back cache policies and cache size from 128K to 1M byte in an
interleaved or non-interleaved configuration. The DRAM controller
interfaces DRAM to the Host bus, PCI bus, and Link bus. M1489 can
support EDO 3/5V DRAM, standard DRAM, and flexible timing
select. M1489 also integrates intelligent Host to PCI, PCI to Host
buffer to achieve high performance. Also, M1489 provides the high
performance Local Bus IDE interface.
M1487 (ISA Bridge Controller: IBC) provides the bridge between the ISA
bus, PCI bus, and Host bus. IBC integrates the common I/O functions
found in today's ISA based systems: a seven channel DMA, two 82C59
interrupt controllers, 8254 timer/ counter, deep green function, and
control logic for NMI generation. IBC also has built-in 128 bytes RTC,
MC14069, KBC, and 7406. IBC also provides the decode for external
BIOS.

**GCK181 Universal PS/2 Chip Set c:Mar89
***Info:
The GCK181 product family provides a universal engineering platform
for PS/2 compatible systems using the Intel 80286, 80386, and 80386SX
microprocessors. This chip set introduces the most highly integrated
solution for manufacturing high performance PS/2 compatible computer
systems.
The GC181 CPU/Bus Controller initiates and controls all bus cycles. It
controls the interface to the Micro Channel, address and data buffers,
CPU, DMA and Memory Controllers. Full Micro Channel support is
provided including Matched Memory Cycles and all timing requirements.
This device also integrates reset control and clock generation
logic. It is packaged in a 68 pin PLCC.
The GC182 Memory Controller interfaces the CPU and Micro Channel to
System DRAM. Four DRAM chip sizes are supported: lMxl, 1Mx4, 256kx1,
256Kx4. These can be configured to 8 MBytes of interleaved/paged
memory. Four memory modes are selectable to meet IBM Model 50/60/70/80
memory requirements. Zero wait state page mode is achievable at 20
MHz with 80ns DRAMs. Package type is 120 pin PQFP (plastic quad flat
pack).
The GC183 DMA Controller provides 8 DMA channels, supporting 24
address bits and 8 or 16 bit data transfers. This device provides the
Micro Channel with 15 levels of bus arbitration and support for
multiple bus masters. It also contains DRAM refresh logic and NPU
support logic. Package type is 160 pin PQFP.
The GC184 Address/Data Buffer integrates approximately 44 TTL packages
otherwise required in at P8/2 system. It is packaged in a 160 pin
PQFP.
The GC186 Peripheral Controller interfaces peripherals with the Micro
Channel. It supports 15 interrupt channels, the refresh rate counter,
and three programmable timers. It also contains PS/2 POS Registers, a
PS/2 and AT compatible parallel port, address decodes for serial
ports, floppy disk, keyboard, real time clock and CMOS RAM. Package
type is 160 pin PQFP
