**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.

**82C710 Universal Peripheral Controller c:Aug90
***Info:
The 82C710 Universal Peripheral Controller (UPC) is a single chip
controller offering the complete I/P solution for the PC-XT & PC-AT
environments. The chip is an LSI implementation of the most commonly
used peripheral devices found in an IBM PC, XT or AT. It features 24
mA drivers for the output buffers, including the host data bus and
parallel port data bus. it incorporates one 16450 compatible UART, one
enhanced parallel port (with bi-directional capability), an IDE
compatible hard disk interface, a uPD72065B compatible floppy disk
controller, PS/2 type mouse logic, and various chip selects. Decoding
logic and support for main, auxiliary and standby power supplies and
software configurable base addresses for these devices, operational
modes and interrupts are also included. Power management aspects of
the 82C710 includes modular power down for each port, and software
oscillator disable. The hardware power management is done through the
PWRGD pin. When the chip is powered down (i.e. when PWRGD is inactive)
the current drawn is less than 250 microAmps, all the inputs are
disabled, and all outputs are tristated. The contents of all the
registers are preserved, as long as power supply to the 82C710 is
maintained.
The host interface is a PC compatible, (i.e. D0-D7, A0,A9, IOR, IOW,
AEN, MINTR, FINTR, PINTR, SINTR, and RESET), and can be connected
directly to the bus. The data buffers (D0-D7, PD0-PD7, IDED7) are
capable of sinking 24 mA @ 0.5V, the parallel port control signals are
open collector with internal pull up, and are capable of sinking 24 mA
@ 0.5V.
The UART implements a fully functional serial link. Programmable
character length, parity generation and detection, stop-bit generation
and baud rate generation are provided. Double buffering is used so
that precise synchronization is unnecessary. Status information is
accessible to the CPU by reading internal registers. MODEM control
lines are provided, as are internal diagnostic functionality and
interrupt prioritization. Support for an auxiliary power system (such
as that derived from a telephone line or R8232 link) permits a UPC in
a battery-powered device to consume no battery power until an incoming
character is detected.
The parallel port can be configured for output only (printer
application) or input and output (scanner application). The necessary
control signals are provided for use as a Centronics-compatible
(output only) parallel port. For scanner applications, a Cent-
ronics-like interface is used. Such an interface is utilized by the
RICOH 1830 scanner.
The configuration RAM and circuitry support programmable base
addresses for all registers internal to the UPC. This permits creation
of a menu-driven program for system configuration. Selection of
sources for interrupts, enabling and configuring of on-chip subsystems
(UARTs, parallel port, etc.) and control of the configuration process
itself are also handled with this RAM and its associated circuitry.
The remainder of this data sheet will consider each of the aforesaid
subsystems individually. Sections containing more general design data
for the chip as a whole are at the end along with electrical and
physical characteristics.
