**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.

**82C100   IBM PS/2 Model 30/Super XT                                ?
***Info:
The 82C100 is a single chip implementation of most of the system logic
necessary to implement a super XT compatible system with PS/2 Model 30
functionality using either an  8086 or 8088 microprocessor. The 82C100
can  be used  with either  8 or  16-bit microprocessors.   The 82C100
includes features  which will enable  the PC manufacturer to  design a
super PS/2 Model 30/XT  compatible system with the highest performance
at  10  MHz  zero  wait   state  system  with  an  8086,  the  highest
functionality  With  dual  clock  and  2.5 MB  DRAM  (with  integrated
Extended Memory System control logic), the lowest power implementation
by  utilizing the on-chip  power management  features and  the highest
inte- gration with the lowest component count SMT design.

The 82C100 can be combined with CHIPsā€˜ 820601 Multifunction Controller
and 82C451 VGA Graphics Controller to provide a high performance, high
integration PS/2 Model 30 type system.

The 82C100 supports most of the peripheral functions on the P8/2 Model
30 planar board: 8284 compatible  clock generator with the option of 2
independent oscillators.   8288 compatible bus  controller, 8237 comp-
atible  DMA  controller, 8259  compatible  interrupt controller,  8254
compatible timer/counter, 8255 compatible peripheral I/O port, XT Key-
board interface,  Parity Generation and  Checking for DRAM  memory and
memory controller for DRAM and SRAM memory sub-systems.

The  82C100   enables  the  user   to  add  P8/2  Model   30  superset
functionality  on  the  planar  board: dual  clock  with  synchronized
switching between the two clocks, built-in Lotus-Intel-Microsoft (LIM)
EMS  support for  up to  2.5 Megabytes  of DRAM  and  power management
features  for SLEEP  mode as  well as  SUSPEND/RESUME  Operations. The
SLEEP and SUSPEND/RESUME features  help in preserving the battery life
in laptop portable applications.

The 82C100  Supports a very flexible memory  architecture. For systems
with DRAMs, the DRAM controller supports 64K, 256K and 1M DRAMs. These
DRAMs can be organized  in four banks of up to a  maximum of 2.5 MB on
the planar board.   The 2.5 MB memory can be  implemented with 2 banks
of  1M x  1 DRAMs,  partitioned locally  as 640KB  of real  memory and
1.875MB of EMS  memory, For systems which require  low operating power
and minimum  standby power dissipation,  the chips provide  the decode
logic which in conjunction  with external decoders allows selection of
up to  640KB of static RAM.  This option is useful  in laptop portable
applications.

The 82C100 is packaged in a 100-pin plastic flatpack.
