**82C281/282     Cache Sx/AT         (386SX)                 <08/22/91
***Notes:...
***Info:...
***Configurations:...
***Features:
o   Flexible DRAM Banks Configuration
    - The 82C281/2 supports 256K, 1M, and 4M memory devices, total 
      main memory size can be up to 16MB. A total of 12 different 
      memory configurations are supported.
o   Page Mode Operation
    - Based on the memory configuration shown above [see datasheet], 
      the memory control unit inside the 820281/2 performs page mode 
      of operation with a varying block size of 1k, 2k, or 4k bytes 
      for 256k, 1M, or 4M DRAMs respectively.
o   System BIOS Shadow RAM
    - The 820281/2 memory control unit provides shadow RAM feature for 
      several areas of memory system BIOS, video BIOS, and adapter 
      BIOS.
o   Memory Remapping
    - If shadow RAM feature is not utilized for the memory area 
      between 0D0000H - 0EFFFFH, then memory remapping is possible. 
      The local DRAM areas, 0A0000H - 0BFFFFH and 0D0000H - 0EFFFFH, a 
      total of 256 KByte, are remapped to the top of total system 
      memory. The areas for 0F0000H-0FFFFFH (system BIOS) and 
      0C000H-0CFFFFH (Video BIOS) are reserved for shadow RAM purpose.
o   Flexible Multiplexed DRAM Address
o   Cache Control Subsystem
    - Direct-mapped posted write cache control function provides a low 
      cost alternative to enhance the system performance by up to 50%. 
      In order to simplify the design without increasing the system 
      cost or decreasing performance, the 82C281/2 has been designed 
      to support only non-pipeline mode for systems with cache memory.
      The 82C281/2 offers the following cache control features: 
      - Flexible  Cache Memory Size
        - 4MB Cacheabie main memory by using 16KB low cost SRAM.
        - 8MB Cacheable main memory by using 32KB low cost SRAM.
        - Cache 16MB main memory by using 64KB low cost SRAM.
        - Increase the cache size beyond 64KB up to 512KB
      - Cache Line Size 4 Byte
        - Burst mode memory prefetch is supported by the 82C281/2. 
          During cache read miss cycles, the memory control subsystem 
          will perform two consecutive read cycles to fetch 4 bytes 
          from main memory before terminating the cycle by sending 
          RDYO# signal to 3868X.
      - Non-Cacheable Area
        The non-cacheable areas are predefined as indicated below:
        - I/O address space
        - memory address between 0A0000H and 0FFFFFH.
        - any memory address beyond the current configured memory 
          size.
        - programmable non-cacheable memory area as defined by 
          82C281/2 internal registers.
      - 82C281 Posted Write Cache
        - The 820281 supports flexible direct-mapped cache with posted 
          write through update of main memory. By programming the 
          internal register, the post write control signals are 
          provided by the 820281 to support a one level write buffer. 
          With posted write, the CPU write cycles can be completed in 
          2 CPU T-States, thereby increasing system performance.
      - 820282 Write Through Cache
        - The 820282 supports a write-through cache system which 
          allows the designer to reduce system cost by eliminating two
          F244's and two F373‘s with only a slight reduction in system 
          performance (5-10%).
      - AT Bus Control
        - The 820281/2 AT bus control unit handles all of the AT bus 
          operations and the DMA/Refresh arbitration. The AT bus 
          control unit supports the following features:
          - Programmable AT Bus Clock - The AT bus clock, ATCLK. can 
            be programmed as CLK2/6, which is default, or CLK2/4.
          - Turbo Switch - The 820281/2 provides a turbo switch 
            feature that allows users to change the system clock
            speed. A programmable bit will enable or disable this 
            turbo function. When the turbo function is enabled by 
            setting reg[14H], bit[1] to 1, the 82C281/2 turbo pin 
            then determines the system clock speed. A low on the 
            turbo pin forces the CPU to run at the current AT bus 
            speed which IS CLK2/6 or CLK2/4.

**SL9090/A Universal PC/AT Clock Chip                           <oct88
***Info:
The  SL9090  is a  Universal  Clock  Chip  capable of  generating  all
essential clock signals  that are used in a  typical P.C. design. This
device  can support  8086,  8088, 80286,  803865X,  80386DX and  80486
microprocessor  based designs.  The  outputs of  this  clock chip  are
programmable through  the keyboard and also by  jumper settings. Clock
options of 60 MHz, 50 MHz, 48  MHz, 40 MHz, 32 MHz and their multiples
are available, in order to give flexibility to the user.

Frequency  selection is  done by  the three  decode inputs  FS0-FS2 as
shown in Table  1. [see datasheet] FSEL is used  to control the system
I/O  bus clock.  During a  CPU cycle  the FSEL  remains high,  and the
frequency  selection  on the  outputs  is  determined  by the  FS0-FS2
pins. When  an I / O  cycle is detected,  the FSEL goes low  and fixed
frequencies of  16 MHz, 8 MHz and  4 MHz are available  on output pins
F12 (pin 8), F122 (pin 5) and F124 (pin 3). Designer have an option to
run  the system I/O  clock at  half the  CPU clock  as well.   This is
achieved  by connecting  the FSEL  pin to  the keyboard  controller in
order to hold this pin high  during an I/O cycle. This allows the FSEL
signal to be controlled through the keyboard by pressing CTL ALT +" or
"CTL ALT-".

The reference frequency  of 14.318 MHz is also  supplied to the output
through the FREF pin for the I/O slots. This frequency is divided by 2
internally and 7.159  MHz is supplied to the  output through the FREF2
pin for the keyboard controller. The  FREF12 pin has an output of 1.19
MHz and is used by the  timerl (8254) in the peripheral controller for
refresh. All outputs are capable of 8mA drive.

The SL9090 consists of  two independent Voltage controlled Oscillators
(VCOs)  integrated with  dividers, phase  sensitive  detectors, charge
pumps  and  buffer  amplifiers  to  provide the  desired  glitch  free
frequencies. An externally  generated signal of 14.318 MHz  is used as
the reference  frequency for the  SL9090. This reference  frequency is
fed into the phase sensitive detectors to differentiate the difference
in  phase  between the  reference  frequency  being  generated by  the
VCOs.  This  becomes  an input  to  the  charge  pumps which  in  turn
generates  a signal  to  sink or  source  the charge.  This signal  is
buffered by  the buffer  amplifiers between the  charge pumps  and the
VCOs. The output from the VCOs are divided to generate the appropriate
outputs.

The  SL9090 is  designed,  using advanced  Bipolar  technology and  is
available in  a 44 pin PLCC.  It requires only one  crystal (14.3 MHz)
and a few RC components to  generate all the essential clocks that are
required for a PC. design. As  there is only one crystal on the system
board,  the  Electro   Magnetic  Radiation  is  reduced  significantly
facilitating FCC  approval. This  makes the SL9090  an ideal  low cost
solution with capabilities for universal applications.
