**82C822         PCIB (VLB-to-PCI bridge)                         c:94
***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.

**VL82C315A        SCAMP II, Low-Power Notebook Chipset              ?
***Info:
The VL82C315A SCAMP II System Controller and the VL82C322A SCAMP Power
Management  Unit  (PMU) provide  a  high-performance, low-chip  count,
low-power 16-bit notebook solution. These devices support fully-static
AMB Am386  and Cyrix  Cx486SLC microprocessors with  System Management
interrupt and 3.3 volt, 5.0 volt or mixed-mode operation.

The VL82C315A and the VL82C322A provide an excellent chip set solution
for 386SX-based notebook systems operating up to 33 MHz.

The   VL82C315A   supports   387SX-compatible  numeric   coprocessors
including versions that support slow and stop clock operation.

With VLSI's VL82C315A SCAMP I Controller, a system designer is assured
a  high-integration  single chip  that  simplifies  system design  and
lowers overall  system cost, while  the VL82C322A PMU  reduces overall
system power consumption.

The VL82C315A SCAMP  II Controller is the next  generation of SCAMP II
System Controllers intended primarily for low-power applications, such
as notebook computers, that require a high degree of integration.

The  SCAMP  II Controller  is  a  208-lead  device that  replaces  the
following peripheral logic on the motherboard:
o  Two 82C37A DMA controllers
o  74LS612 memory mapper
o  Two 82C59A interrupt controllers
o  82C54 timer
o  82284 clock generator and ready interface
o  82288 bus controller
o  8242 keyboard controller
o  146818A real-time clock

The VL82C315A also includes the  logic for System Management Interrupt
(SMI)  control,   address/data  bus  control,  memory   control,  shut
down,standard  and  suspend   mode,  refresh  generation,  refresh/DMA
arbitration, and advanced power management features.
