**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.

**W83877TF/TG/TD WINBOND I/O (Multi I/O) c97
***Info:
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
W83877TF/TG is an enhanced version from Winbond's most popular I/O
chip W83877F --- which integrates the disk drive adapter, serial port
(UART), IrDA 1.0 SIR, parallel port, configurable Plug-and-Play
registers for the whole chip --- plus additional powerful features:
ACPI / legacy power management, serial IRQ, and IRQ sharing.
The disk drive adapter functions of W83877TF/TG include a floppy disk
controller compatible with the industry standard 82077/765, data
separator, write pre-compensation circuit, decode logic, data rate
selection, clock generator, drive interface control logic, interrupt
and DMA logic. The wide range of functions integrated into W83877TF/TG
greatly reduces the number of components required for interfacing with
floppy disk drives. W83877TF/TG supports four 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M,
or 2.88M disk drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/S, 300 Kb/S,
500 Kb/S,1 Mb/S, and 2 Mb/S.
W83877TF/TG provides two high-speed serial communication ports
(UARTs), one of which supports serial Infrared communication. Each
UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate
generator, complete modem control capability, and a processor
interrupt system. One of the UARTs support infrared (IR) IrDA1.0. Both
UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate up to 115.2K and provide
advanced speed with baud rate up to 230k, 460k, and 921k bps which
support higher speed Modems.
W83877TF/TG supports one PC-compatible printer port (SPP),
Bi-directional printer port (BPP) and also Enhanced Parallel Port
(EPP) and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP). Through the printer port
interface pins, also available are: Extension FDD Mode and Extension
2FDD Mode allowing one or two external floppy disk drives to be
connected. This function is especially valuable for notebook computer
applications.
Winbond W83877TF/TG provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy
and ACPI power management through SMI or SCI function pins. One
24-bits power management timer is implemented with the carry notify
interrupt. W83877TF/TG also has auto power management mode to reduce
the power consumption.
The serial IRQ for PCI architecture is supported, ISA IRQs
(IRQ1~IRQ15) can be cascaded into one IRQSER pin. W83877TF/TG also
features ISA bus IRQ sharing and allows two or more devices to share
the same IRQ pin.
W83877TF/TG is made to fully comply with Microsoft PC97 Hardware
Design Guide. IRQs, DMAs, and I/O space resources are flexible to
adjust to meet ISA PnP requirement. Moreover W83877TF/TG is made to
meet the specification of PC97's requirement in the power management:
ACPI and DPM (Device Power Management).
The configuration registers support mode selection, function
enable/disable, and power down function selection. Furthermore, the
configurable PnP registers are compatible with the Plug-and-Play
feature demand of Windows 95 , which makes system resource allocation
more efficient than ever.
Another benefit of W83877TF/TG is that it is pin-to-pin compatible to
W83877F, and all of the 100-pin Winbond I/O IC family. Thus makes the
design of applications very convenient and flexible.
