**82489DX       Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller    10/12/92
***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.

**SN74LS610/2 IBM AT: SN74LS610, SN74LS612 Memory Mappers          <84
***Notes:...
***Info:
Each 'LS610  and 'LS612  memory mapper  integrated circuit  contains a
4-line to  16-line decoder, a  16-word by  12-bit RAM, 16  channels of
2-line to 1-line multiplexers, and  other miscellaneous circuitry on a
monolithic chip. Each  'LS610 also contains 12 latches  with an enable
control.

The memory  mappers are designed  to expand a  microprocessor's memory
addressing capability by  eight bits. Four bits of  the memory address
bus (see  System Block Diagram)[see  datasheet] can be used  to select
one of 16 map registers that contain  12 bits each.  these 12 bits are
presented  to the  system memory  address bus  through the  map output
buffers  along with  the  unused  memory address  bits  from the  CPU.
However, addressable memory space  without reloading the map registers
is the  same as would  be available with  the memory mapper  left out.
The  addressable  memory  space  is  increased  only  by  periodically
reloading the  map registers  from the  data bus.   This configuration
lends itself  to memory utilization  of 16 pages of  2^(n-4) registers
each  without reloading  (n -  number of  address bits  available from
CPU).

These  devices have  four modes  of operation:  read, write,  map, and
pass.  Data may be read from  or loaded into the map register selected
by  the register select  inputs (RS0  thru RS3)  under control  of R/W
whenever chip select (CS) is low. The data I/O takes place on the data
bus DO thru D7. The map  operation will output the contents of the map
register selected by the map address  inputs (MA0 thru MA3) when CS is
high and  MM (map mode control)  is low. The 'LS612  output stages are
transparent in this mode, while  the 'LS610 outputs may be transparent
or latched. When CS and MM are both high (pass mode), the address bits
on MA0 thru MA3 appear at M08-MO11, respectively (assuming appropriate
latch control) with  low levels in the other bit  positions on the map
outputs.
