**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.
