**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.

***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.
