**82C281/282     Cache Sx/AT         (386SX)                 <08/22/91
***Notes:...
***Info:
The 82C281/2 is a highly integrated  AT system logic VLSI for high end
386 Sx AT systems. It integrates  the logic for local DRAM control, AT
bus  control,  cache memory  control,  and  data  bus control  and  is
designed for systems running at 16MHz, 20MHz, and 25MHz.

A high performance, compact 386 Sx/AT system can be implemented easily
with 82C281/2  and standard peripheral controllers like  the 82C206 or
the VLSI 82C100 plus Dallas Semiconductor DS1287.

2 System Operation
The following sections describe  the detailed system operations of the
82C281 /2 based Sx-AT design.

2.1 Reset
The power good (PWRGD) signal from power supply drives the system into
the initial state when it is asserted low. The 82C281/2 forces CPURST,
SYSRST, and  NPRST high as soon  as PWRGD becomes inactive.   When the
PWRGD  is high,  the chip  deactivates the  CPURST, SYSRST,  and NPRST
after 128 CLK2 cycles.

2.2 Cache Interface
The 82028112 cache control unit monitors the HIT# pin and the internal
NCA#  signals  to  determine if  it  is  a  cache  hit or  cache  miss
cycle. During the cache read  miss cycle, the cache controller asserts
TAGWE# to  update the TAG  RAM, CAWE# is  also asserted to  update the
cache data memory.

The A1 CNT  output will be forced high then low  to toggle CPU address
bit 1 to cache data memory to achieve the prefetch.

During cache write hit cycles,  the cache controller asserts the CAWE#
signal to update the cache data memory.

2.3 Local DRAM Interfaces
Local DRAM is located  on the CPU local data bus and  is buffered by a
F244 and F373 buffer.  During CPU read cycles data is routed from main
memory to CPU through F244’s Which  are controled by LMRD#. During CPU
write cycles,  data is latched by  F373 latches with the  PDLTH signal
from the  82C281/2 while DWE#  controls the transceivers'  enable. The
main memory subsystem  asserts the LMRD# while CPU,  DMA, and external
master card reads  the local DRAM. DWE# is asserted  during local DRAM
memory write.

For local memory read cycles, the memory controller reads two bytes at
a time. The  read data passes into 82C281/2  where the parity checking
function is executed.

For the local memory write cycles, the data bus control unit generates
the parity bits to be stored into the local DRAM.

2.4 System BIOS ROM
If the system BIOS ROM is  not shadowed, the ROM cycles are treated as
AT cycles.  The system designer can  put the ROM  on the XD bus  as an
8-bit slave or SD bus as a 16-Bit slave.

For  a 16-bit  slave,  ROMCS# is  connected  to M16#  through an  open
collector  driver  such as  a  7407,  the  82C281/2 monitors  M16#  to
determine the width of the ROM data path.

2.5 I/O Ports located on the XD bus
For l/O ports located on the XD bus, the XDIR# is activated. I/O ports
0F0H - 0FFH are reserved for the coprocessor.

2.6 Refresh Cycles
The AT  bus control unit arbitrates  the hold request  from 82C206 and
the refresh request from 82C281/2  internal, then decides which is the
next  owner of  the bus  once the  CPU relinquishes  it.   The refresh
request generated  internally by 82C281/2  can be programmed  as every
15.9  micro-seconds  or  every  95.5 micro-seconds  for  slow  refresh
DRAM. lf  the bus is  granted for refresh  cycles, the AT  bus control
unit asserts RFSH# and MEMRD#  commands and also generates the refresh
address.

2.7 DMA Cycles
The hold  request from the 82C206 initiates  DMA/Master transfers. The
82C281/2   performs   the   arbitration   between  HRQ   and   refresh
request. After the CPU acknowledges by asserting HLDA, and DMA request
wins  the  arbitration,  the   82C281/2  sends  HLDA1  to  the  82C206
acknowledging  the  request.  The   820206  then  asserts  DMA16#  and
activates ADS16# to  start 16-bit DMA transfers, or  asserts DMA8# and
activates ADS8# to start 8-bit DMA transfers.

***Notes:...
***Info:
OPTi's  82C822 VESA  local bus  to PCI  Bridge (PCIB)  chip is  a high
integration  208-pin PQFP  device designed  to work  with VESA  VL bus
compatible core logic chipsets.  The 82C822 PCIB provides interface to
the high performance PCI bus and is fully compliant to the PCI Version
2.0 specification. The 82C822 requires  no glue logic to implement the
PCI  bus interface  and hence  it allows  designers to  have  a highly
integrated  motherboard with  both VESA  local bus  and PCI  local bus
support. The PCIB chip  offers premium performance and flexibility for
VESA VL-based desktop systems running up to 50MHz. The 82C822 PCIB can
be used with  OPTi's 82C802G core logic and  82C602 buffer chipsets to
build a  low cost and  power efficient 486-based desktop  solution. It
also works  with OPTi 82C546/547  chipset to build a  high performance
PCI/VL solution based on the Intel P54C processor.

The 82C822 PCIB provides all of the control, address and data paths to
access  the PCI  bus from  the  VESA Local  bus (VL  bus). The  82C822
provides  a  complete  solution  including data  buffering,  latching,
steering, arbitration, DMA and  master functions between the 32-bit VL
bus and the 32-bit PCI bus.

The PCIB works seamlessly with  the motherboard chipset bus arbiter to
handle all requests of the host  CPU and PCI bus masters, DMA masters,
I/O relocation  and refresh. Extensive register and  timer support are
designed into the 82C822 to implement the PCI specification.

The 82C822 is a  true VESA to PCI bridge. It  has the highest priority
on  CPU accesses  after cache  and system  memory. It  generates LDEV#
automatically  and  then  compares  the addresses  with  its  internal
registers to determine whether the current  cycle is a PCI cycle. When
a cycle  is identified  as PCI  cycle, the 82C822  will take  over the
cycle and then return RDY# to the CPU. If not, the 82C822 will give up
the  cycle to  the local  device  or, in  the  case of  an ISA  slave,
generate a  BOFF# cycle to the  CPU. This action will  abort the cycle
and allow the CPU to rerun the cycle.

The 82C822 includes  registers to determine shadow  memory space, hole
locations  and sizes  to allow  the 82C822  to determine  which memory
space should be local and which is located on the ISA bus. Upon access
to memory, the 82C822 can determine whether  or not the cycle is a PCI
access by comparing the cycle with its internal registers.
