**HT21          386SX/286 Single Chip (20 MHz)                 c:Aug91
***Info:
The HT21  is an  advanced PC/AT compatible,  single-chip 80386SX/80286
design solution.   This highly  integrated single chip  allows simple,
low cost  system design options while featuring  high performance, low
power  consumption,  and minimum  board  space requirements.  Advanced
memory management features  include support for page mode,  2 or 4-way
interleaving in  both pipelined and  non-pipelined modes. The  LIM 4.0
hardware implementation  features dual sets of 32  registers with full
context support for highest performance Optimization of extended local
memory  accesses. An  advanced  EMS hardware  write-protect option  is
provided. The HT21 supports 256K and 1M DRAMs in l by 1, 1 by 4, and 1
by 9 device configurations for up  to 8MB of on-board system memory. A
flexible Shadow  RAM option for  System and Video  BIOS as well  as 8-
16-bit BIOS Options adds to overall design versatility.

A  complete PC/AT  compatible  system with  advanced  features may  be
implemented with minimal external support logic. The HT21 performs all
CPU  and peripheral support  functions in  a single  chip.  Integrated
device  functions include  DMA Controllers,  a Memory  Mapper, Timers,
Counters, Interrupt  Controllers, a Bus Controller  and all supporting
circuitry for PC  core logic requirements. The chip  also contains all
the  necessary  address buffers,  data  transceivers, memory  drivers,
parity  checking   and  supporting  circuitry  for   a  complete  high
performance computer solution. An asynchronous AT Bus clock allows for
a constant 8MHz Bus clock rate for highest bus device compatibility as
defined in  IEEE Spec P996.   In controlled bus applications  the HT21
supports up to a  12 MHz Bus Clock rate. This device  is packaged in a
208-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack combining several external buffers into
this space saving solution.

**VL82C110 Combination I/O chip                                      ?
***Info:
The VL82C110  Combination I/O  chip replaces  several of  the commonly
used peripherals  found in  PC/AT-compatible computers.   The VL82C110
contains a 765A compatible floppy  disk controller with a digital data
clock separator, writ precompensation  logic and the necessary control
registers.  It also contains two 16C450 compatible UARTs, a Centronics
compatible printer port,  and an internal PMU  (power management unit)
which  is  useful  in  applications where  low  power  consumption  is
essential. Additionally,  a PLL clock  circuit is included  to provide
one of seven of the commonly used CPU clock frequencies.  This 100-pin
chip allows designers to implement a very cost-effective, minimum chip
count motherboard  containing functions  that are common  to virtually
all PCs.

The  internal  PMU provides  a  Sleep  output  which OS  asserted  via
automatically after a programmable time  delay period of inactivity in
any of the major on-chip  functions. Conversely, the sleep output will
be  de-asserted when  any activity  is detected  to any  of the  major
on-chip functions.

The on-chip UARTs are 100% software compatible with the VL16C450 ACE.

The bidirectional  parallel port  provides a PS/2  software compatible
interface between a Centronics-style  printer and the VL82C110. Direct
drive is  provided so that all  that is necessary to  interface to the
line  printer  is  a resistor-capacitor  network.   The  bidirectional
feature  (option)  is  software   programmable  for  backwards  PC/AT-
compatibility.

The  on-chip  disk  controller  OS  100% compatible  to  the  industry
standard  765A.  The  internal digital  data separator  is  capable of
operating up to  a 500 kb/s data rate.  The Controller also implements
all of the DP8473 disk controller functions.

The necessary signals  are provided to implement  the Integrated Drive
Electronics (IDE) interface.

A 24 MHz oscillator is included  for UART baud rate generation and the
floppy  disk  controller clock,  It  is  also  used to  generate,  via
software control, a 20, 25, 32, 40,  50, 66 or 80 MHz output which can
be used as a CPU input clock. This feature may be disabled at power-up
reset time.

Software  configurable registers  are provided  to enable  and disable
major blocks, assign addresses, and control other functions within the
VL82C110.
