**CS8221   NEW Enhanced AT (NEAT)   (82C211/82C212/82C215/82C206)  c86
***Info:
The  CS8221  PC/AT  compatible  NEAT  CHIPSet  is  an  enhanced,  high
performance 4  chip VLSI implementation (including the  82C206 IPC) of
the control logic  used on the IBM Personal  Computer AT. The flexible
architecture of  the NEAT CHIPSet  allows it to  be used in  any 80286
based system.

The  CS8221 NEAT  CHIPSet  provides a  complete  286 PC/AT  compatible
system, requiring only 24 logic components plus memory devices.

The CS8221 NEAT CHIPSet consists of the 82C211 CPU/Bus controller, the
82C212  Page/interleave   and  EMS  Memory   controller.   the  82C215
Data/Address buffer  and the 82C206  Integrated Peripherals Controller
(IPC).

The NEAT  CHIPSet supports the local  CPU bus, a 16  bit system memory
bus, and the  AT buses as shown in the NEAT  System Block Diagram [see
datasheet].  The  82C211 provides synchronization  and control signals
for all  buses. The 82C211 also  provides an independent  AT bus clock
and allows for  dynamic selection between the processor  clock and the
user  selectable AT  bus clock.   Command delays  and wait  states are
software configurable,  providing flexibility  for slow or  fast peri-
pheral boards.

The  82C212  Page/interleave and  EMS  Memory  controller provides  an
interleaved  memory sub-system  design with  page mode  operation.  It
supports  up to 8  MB of  on-board DRAM  with combinations  of 64Kbit,
256Kbit  and 1Mbit  DRAMs. The  processor  can operate  at 16MHz  with
0.5-0.7 wait  state memory  accesses, using 100  nsec DRAMs.   This is
possible through  the Page Interleaved memory scheme.   The Shadow RAM
feature  allows taster  execution of  code  stored in  EPROM, by  down
loading code  from EPROM to  RAM. The RAM  then shadows the  EPROM for
further code execution. In a  DOS environment, memory above 1Mb can be
treated as LIM EMS memory.

The  82C215 Data/Address  buffer provides  the buffering  and latching
between the local CPU address  bus and the Peripheral address bus.  It
also provides buffering between the  local CPU data bus and the memory
data bus. The parity bit  generation and error detection logic resides
in the 82C215.

The 82C206  Integrated Peripherals Controller  is an integral  part of
the  NEAT CHIPSet.   It is  described in  the 82C206  Integrated Peri-
pherals Controller data book.

System Overview
The CS8221  NEAT CHIPSet  is designed for  use in  12 to 16  MHz 80286
based  systems  and  provides  complete  support  for  the  IBM  PC/AT
bus.  There are four  buses supported  by the  CS8221 NEAT  CHIPSet as
shown in  Figure 1 [see  datasheet]: CPU local  bus (A and  D), system
memory bus (MA and MD), I/O channel bus (SA and SD), and X bus (XA and
XD). The system  memory bus is used to interface the  CPU to the DRAMs
and EPROMs  controlled by the 82C212.   The I/O channel  bus refers to
the bus supporting the AT bus  adapters which could be either 8 bit or
16 bit  devices. The X bus refers  to the peripheral bus  to which the
82C206 IPC and other peripherals are attached in an IBM PC/AT.

***Info:
The CS82310 PEAK/DM CHIPSet is a three chip VLSI implementation of the
systems logic required  to implement a cache-based  386DX system. This
CHIPSet  is  designed to  offer  a  100% PC/AT  compatible  Integrated
solution. The  flexible architecture  of the PEAK/DM  allows it  to be
used in any iAPX386-based system  design such as CAD/CAE workstations,
office  systems, industrial  and financial  transaction systems.   The
CS82310 PEAK/DM CHIPSet provides a  complete cache based 386/AT system
using only  19 components  plus memory  devices.  The  CS82310 PEAK/DM
CHIPSet consists  of one 82C351 CPU/cache/DRAM  controller, one 82C355
data  buffer,  and  one  82C356 peripheral  controller.   The  CHIPSet
supports a local CPU bus, a 32-bit memory bus, and AT buses.

82C351 CPU/Cache/D RAM/Controller
By integrating both the cache  and DRAM control functions in one chip,
the  82C351  supports  simultaneous   activation  of  cache  and  DRAM
accesses; minimizing  the cache miss penalty. It  has hardware support
to allow  the user to  designate up to  four blocks (of  variable size
from 4KB  to 4MB) of main  memory as non-cacheable  address space. The
82C351 cache  controller supports  a direct mapped  cache architecture
and cache sizes  of 32KB, 64KB, 128KB, or  256KB. Memory write updates
are implemented using a  buffered write-through scheme.  The 82C351 is
available in a 160-pin PFP package.

82C355 Data Buffer
The 82C355 bus controller contains  the data buffers used to interface
the local and system  memory buses and a path for the  AT data bus. In
addition  to   having  high  current  bus  drive,   it  also  performs
conversions between the different sized data paths and provides parity
generation  and checking.  The 82C355  is available  in a  120-pin PFP
package.

82C356 Peripheral Controller
The 82C356 peripheral controller  contains the address buffers used to
interface between  the processor address bus (A<23:2>)  and the system
address  bus  (SA<19:0>).   It  also  contains  an  equivalent  82C206
integrated  peripheral  controller  that  incorporates: two  8237  DMA
controllers, two  8259 interrupt controllers,  one 8254 timer/counter,
one  MC146818 real  time clock,  and several  TTL/SSI  interface logic
chips.
