**FE5400        CPU Core Logic for PS/2 Model 50/60 Compatibles   c:87
***Notes:...
***Info:
****General:
The  FE5400 chip  set provides  all necessary  core logic  to  build a
totally  integrated IBM Personal  System/2 Model  50 or  60 compatible
motherboard  using  the 16-bit  Intel  80286  Central Processing  Unit
(CPU).

The FE5400  chip set  is 100% hardware  (register level)  and software
compatible with the PS/2 Models 50 and 60.  It includes the components
needed to  build a PS/2  compatible motherboard including  IBM’s Micro
Channel Architecture.

The FE5400 chip  set consists of four devices:  FE5000, FE5010, FE5020
and FE5030.  They operate at CPU clock  rates of up to 20 MHz or twice
as  fast   as  the  PS/2   Model  50/60’s  clock  rate   resulting  in
significantly  higher   performance  and  a   natural  migration/diff-
erentiation path for PS/2 compatible manufacturers.

This highly  integrated chip set significantly  facilitates design and
implementation of  Model 50 and  60 compatible system boards  that are
smaller, less  noisy, consume less power and  have higher performance.

Components
The FE5000 Peripheral and Control and the FE5010 DMA and Micro Channel
Control logic  devices contain the  equivalent functions of  two Intel
8259 interrupt  controllers (16 channels), a 3-channel  8254 timer and
two 8237 DMA controllers with IBM compatible extensions. They hold the
central arbitration control point logic.

In  addition, the  FE5000 and  FE50l0 include  logic for  the watchdog
timer, programmable option select, coprocessor interface, system board
I/O decode,  buffer controls, clock  generation and Micro  Channel bus
controls.

A basic memory  controller is included and an  Extended Setup Facility
is  provided  to facilitate  special  configurations.  The FE5000  and
FE5010 are manufactured using CMOS technology.

The FE5020 Address  and Data Buffer logic device  contains the address
and data buffers that are used to directly interface the device to the
Micro Channel bus  without external drivers.  The buffers  have a 24mA
drive capability.

A local bus  buffer is provided that makes it  easy to integrate other
peripheral controllers such as a floppy controller, serial ports, hard
disk and display controllers.

The FE5030  Memory Controller contains  the logic necessary  to manage
the system’s dynamic memory (DRAM). It includes a RAS/CAS DRAM address
multiplexer and a data buffer with parity checking that interfaces CPU
and DRAM. RAS/CAS control circuitry is also included.

Memory  Configuration is  programmable offering  the  designer maximum
flexibility.  The  chip includes  extended memory support  (the Lotus,
Intel and  Microsoft implementation of EMS). It  supports page, static
column and interleave  modes. It also allows usage of  256K, 1M and 4M
DRAM devices.

Both FE5020  and FE5030 are  manufactured using BiCMOS  technology for
its high speed and high drive capability.

Micro Channel and DMA
The FE5400 chip set directly interfaces to the bus and meets all Micro
Channel bus timing specifications}.

Micro Channel bus timing is, however, decoupled and independent of the
CPU clock rate.  This allows the processor to run  at its maximum rate
and still maintain compatibility on the bus.

Arbitration logic  controls and monitors  the Micro Channel  and local
bus arbitration functions.

A Cost Effective Design
The FE5400 chip  set is cost effective because  it replaces three gate
arrays plus approximately 100 additional devices. The direct result is
a smaller motherboard with lower power consumption.

Packaging
The  FE5400 chip  set devices  are manufactured  in  surface mountable
l32-pin JEDEC Standard packages.

This type of packaging allows  for a higher level of logic integration
resulting in an extremely reliable device that takes up less space.
