**CS8281   NEATsx (386SX)           (82C811/812/215/206)       c:Dec89
***Info:
The CS8281 NEATsx CHlPSet, which  is composed of four VLSI devices, is
a  high-performance, 100%-compatible  enhanced  implementation of  the
control logic used in the IBM  PC AT. The flexible architecture of the
NEATsx  CHIPSet   allows  it  to  be   used  as  the   basis  for  any
386sx-compatible system.

The CS8281  NEATsx CHIPSet provides a complete  386sx PC/AT compatible
system, requiring only 24 logic components plus memory devices.

The CS8281  NEATsx CHIPSet consists of the  82C811 CPU/bus controller,
the  82C812  page/interleave and  EMS  memory  controller, the  82C215
data/address buffer, and  the 82C206 integrated peripherals controller
(IPC).

The NEATsx  CHIPSet supports a local  CPU bus, a  16-bit system memory
bus, and the AT buses as shown in the NEATsx system block diagram [see
datasheet].  The  82C811 provides synchronization  and control signals
for all buses.   The 82C811 also provides an  independent AT bus clock
and allows  for dynamic  selection between the  processor clock  and a
user~selectable AT bus clock.   Because command delays and wait states
are  configured  by  software,  peripheral boards  are  provided  with
maximum flexibility.

The  82C812  page/interleave and  EMS  memory  controller provides  an
interleaved memory subsystem design with page mode operation.  It sup-
ports up to 8MB of DRAM  with combinations of 256Kb and 1Mb DRAMs. The
processor can operate  at 16 MHz with 0.7  wait state memory accesses,
using 100  nsec DRAMs.   This is possible  through a  page interleaved
memory  scheme. A  RAM shadowing  feature allows  faster  execution of
EPROM stored BIOS code by downloading and executing code from RAM.  in
a DOS environment memory above 1MB can be used as EMS memory.

The 82C215 data/address buffer provides 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.  Parity bit  generation and error detection logic  resides in the
82C215.  

The 82C206  integrated peripherals controller  is an integral  part of
the NEATsx CHIPSet.  It is described in the 82C206 data book.

System Overview
The CS8281 NEATsx CHIPSet is designed for use in 12-16 MHz 80386 based
systems  and provides complete  support for  the IBM  PC AT  bus. Four
buses are supported by the CS8281 NEATsx CHIPSet: the CPU local bus (A
and D); the system memory bus (MA and MD); the I/O channel bus (SA and
SD); and  the X  bus (XA and  XD). The  system memory bus  provides an
interface between the  CPU and the DRAMs and  EPROMS controlled by the
82C812.   The  I/O  channel  bus  refers to  the  bus  supporting  the
AT-compatible bus adapters  which can be either 8-  or 16-bit devices.
The X  bus is  the peripheral bus  to which  the 82C206 IPC  and other
peripherals are attached in an IBM PC AT.

**85C496/497     486-VIP 486 Green PC VESA/ISA/PCI Chipset         <95
***Info:
The SiS 486-VIP (VESA/ISA/PCI) chips are two-chip solution ideally for
Intel's 80486, SL Enhanced 486, P24D/P24T/DX4 CPU, AMD's 486, Enhanced
Am486 and Cyrix's Cx486 (M7)/Cx 5x86 CPU based on green AT system.  By
supporting the most popular  industrial standard system interfaces, it
provides flexible configurations for system design and applications.

The SiS85C496  PCI & CPU  Memory Controller (PCM) integrates  the Host
Bridge (Host  Interface), the cache  and main memory  DRAM Controller,
the PCI Bridge, the built-in IDE Controller, and the FS-Link Bus (Fast
Slow  Link Bus). It  provides the  address paths  and bus  control for
transfers among  the Host  (CPU/L1 cache), main  memory (L2  cache and
DRAM),  the  Peripheral  Component  Interconnect (PCI)  Bus,  and  the
FS-Link Bus.  The L2  cache controller supports both write-through and
write-back cache policies  and cache sizes up to  1 MBytes.  The cache
memory  can be  built  using standard  asynchronous  SRAMs.  The  main
memory DRAM controller  interfaces DRAM to the Host  Bus, PCI Bus, and
FS-Link Bus. Up to eight single sided SIMMs or four double sided SIMMs
provide a maximum  of 255 MBytes of main  memory.  The installation of
DRAM SIMMs is  "Table-Free", which allows the SIMMs  be installed into
any slot  location and any  combinations.  The built-in IDE  hard disk
controller  allows CPU accessing  hard disk  and also  provides higher
system integration with  lower system cost. The 85C496  is intended to
be used with the SiS85C497 which  is a AT Bus Controller with built-in
206 controller.

The  SiS85C497 AT  Bus  Controller and  Megacells  (ATM) provides  the
interface between  PCI/CPU/Memory Bus (fast  machine) and the  ISA Bus
(slow machine).  It  also integrates many of the  common I/O functions
in today's  ISA based  PC systems.  The  85C497 comprises  the FS-Link
interface  (Fast-Slow  Link  interface),  ISA  bus  controller  ,  DMA
controller and  data buffers to isolate  the FS-Link Bus  from the ISA
Bus  and to  enhance performance.   It  also integrates  a 14  channel
edge/level  interrupt  controller, refresh  controller,  a 8-bit  BIOS
timer, three programmable timer/counters, non-maskable-interrupt (NMI)
control  logic, Power  Management  Unit,  and RTC.  Figure  1 .1  [see
datasheet] shows the system block diagram.
