**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.

**VT82C590 Apollo VP2, VP2/97, Single-Chip Pentium 66MHz <01/10/97
***Info:
The VT82C590 Apollo-VP2 is a high performance, cost-effective and
energy efficient chip set for the implementation of PCI/ISA desktop
and notebook personal computer systems based on the 64-bit
Pentium/AMD5K86/AMD6K86/Cyrix6X86 super-scalar processors.
The Apollo-VP2 chip set consists of the VT82C595 system controller
(328 pin BGA) and the VT82C586B PCI to ISA bridge (208 pin PQFP). The
VT82C595 system controller provides superior performance between the
CPU, optional synchronous cache, DRAM and the PCI bus with pipelined,
burst and concurrent operation. For pipelined burst synchronous SRAMs,
3-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 timing can be achieved for both read and write
transactions at 66 Mhz. Four cache lines (16 quadwords) of CPU/cache
to DRAM write buffers with concurrent write-back capability are
included in the chip to speed up the cache read and write miss cycles.
The VT82C595 supports six banks of DRAMs up to 512KB. The DRAM
controller supports Standard Page Mode DRAM, EDO DRAM and Synchronous
DRAM in a flexible mix / match manner. The Synchronous DRAM interface
allows zero wait state bursting between the DRAM and the data buffers
at 66Mhz. The six banks of DRAM can be composed of an arbitrary
mixture of 1M / 2M / 4M / 8M / 16MxN DRAMs. Each bank may be populated
with either 32bit or 64bit data width. The DRAM controller also
supports optional ECC (single-bit error correction and multi-bit
detection) capability.
The VT82C595 supports 3.3 / 5V 32-bit PCI bus with 64-bit to 32-bit
data conversion. Five levels (doublewords) of post write buffers are
included to allow for concurrent CPU and PCI operation. Consecutive
CPU addresses are converted into burst PCI cycles with byte merging
capability for optimal CPU to PCI throughput. For PCI master
operation, forty-eight levels (doublewords) of post write buffers and
sixteen levels (doublewords) of prefetch buffers are included for
concurrent PCI bus and DRAM/cache accesses. The chipset also supports
enhanced PCI bus commands such as Memory-Read-Line, Memory-Read-
Multiple and Memory-Write-Invalid commands to minimize snoop
overhead. In addition, the chipset supports advanced features such as
snoop ahead, snoop filtering, L1 write-back forward to PCI master and
L1 write-back merged with PCI post write buffers to minimize PCI
master read latency and DRAM utilization. The VT82C586B PCI to ISA
bridge supports four levels (doublewords) of line buffers, type F DMA
transfers and delay transaction to allow efficient PCI bus utilization
and (PCI-2.1 compliant). The VT82C586B also includes an integrated
keyboard controller with PS2 mouse support, integrated DS12885 style
real time clock with extended 256 byte CMOS RAM, integrated master
mode enhanced IDE controller with full scatter and gather capability
and extension to UltraDMA-33 / ATA-33 for 33MB/sec transfer rate,
integrated USB interface with root hub and two function ports with
built-in physical layer transceivers, Distributed DMA support, and
OnNow / ACPI compliant advanced configuration and power management
interface. A complete main board can be implemented with only six
TTLs.
The VT82C590 chipset is ideal for high performance, high quality, high
energy efficient and high integration desktop and notebook PCI/ISA
computer systems.
