**82C721   Universal Peripheral Controller III                 c:May93
***Info:
The CHIPS  82C721 enhanced I/O peripheral controller  is a single-chip
solution  offering  complete  I/O  capabilities for  PC/AT  and  PC/XT
environments.  The  82C721   supports  motherboard  applications  with
configuration via software.

The  82C721  features  a   floppy  disk  controller,  a  digital  data
separator, two 16450 compatible UARTs, a bi-directional parallel port,
an IDE interface control logic and a game port chip select.

The floppy  disk controller is software compatible  with NEC uPD72065B
floppy  disk controller.  The  controller supports  up to  four drives
directly. The digital data separator is capable of data transfer rates
up to 500kb/sec and requires no external components.

The 82C721 has two UARTs  which are compatible with NS16450 UARTs. The
IDE control logic provides a  complete IDE interface for embedded hard
disk  drives.  The  bidirectional  parallel  port  maintains  complete
compatibility with ISA and PS/2  parallel ports.  It can be configured
for either output mode or for bidirectional mode.

The  configuration   RAM  and  circuitry   support  programmable  base
addresses for  all the registers. Selection of  sources of interrupts,
enabling and configuring of on-chip  subsystems and the control of the
configuration  process itself  are also  handled by  this RAM  and its
associated circuitry.  The game port chip select provides a predefined
I/O address decode for games and joy stick applications.

The 82C721,  designed for  motherboard applications, is  provided with
several  power  management features,  which  are controllable  through
hardware  or  software. In  hardware,  the  device  can be  completely
powered down through  a power-down pin.  In this  mode, all inputs are
disabled, all outputs are inactive,  and the contents of all registers
are  preserved  (as long  as  the  power  supply is  maintained).   In
software,   the  device   allows  each   port  to   be   powered  down
independently.

The  82C721 features 24mA  drivers for  output buffers,  including the
host  data bus  and  the parallel  port  data bus.  The floppy  output
drivers  are  capable  of  sinking  48mA. The  host  interface  is  PC
compatible and can be connected directly to the ISA bus.

**82C822         PCIB (VLB-to-PCI bridge)                         c:94
***Notes:...
***Info:
OPTi's  82C822 VESA  local bus  to PCI  Bridge (PCIB)  chip is  a high
integration  208-pin PQFP  device designed  to work  with VESA  VL bus
compatible core logic chipsets.  The 82C822 PCIB provides interface to
the high performance PCI bus and is fully compliant to the PCI Version
2.0 specification. The 82C822 requires  no glue logic to implement the
PCI  bus interface  and hence  it allows  designers to  have  a highly
integrated  motherboard with  both VESA  local bus  and PCI  local bus
support. The PCIB chip  offers premium performance and flexibility for
VESA VL-based desktop systems running up to 50MHz. The 82C822 PCIB can
be used with  OPTi's 82C802G core logic and  82C602 buffer chipsets to
build a  low cost and  power efficient 486-based desktop  solution. It
also works  with OPTi 82C546/547  chipset to build a  high performance
PCI/VL solution based on the Intel P54C processor.

The 82C822 PCIB provides all of the control, address and data paths to
access  the PCI  bus from  the  VESA Local  bus (VL  bus). The  82C822
provides  a  complete  solution  including data  buffering,  latching,
steering, arbitration, DMA and  master functions between the 32-bit VL
bus and the 32-bit PCI bus.

The PCIB works seamlessly with  the motherboard chipset bus arbiter to
handle all requests of the host  CPU and PCI bus masters, DMA masters,
I/O relocation  and refresh. Extensive register and  timer support are
designed into the 82C822 to implement the PCI specification.

The 82C822 is a  true VESA to PCI bridge. It  has the highest priority
on  CPU accesses  after cache  and system  memory. It  generates LDEV#
automatically  and  then  compares  the addresses  with  its  internal
registers to determine whether the current  cycle is a PCI cycle. When
a cycle  is identified  as PCI  cycle, the 82C822  will take  over the
cycle and then return RDY# to the CPU. If not, the 82C822 will give up
the  cycle to  the local  device  or, in  the  case of  an ISA  slave,
generate a  BOFF# cycle to the  CPU. This action will  abort the cycle
and allow the CPU to rerun the cycle.

The 82C822 includes  registers to determine shadow  memory space, hole
locations  and sizes  to allow  the 82C822  to determine  which memory
space should be local and which is located on the ISA bus. Upon access
to memory, the 82C822 can determine whether  or not the cycle is a PCI
access by comparing the cycle with its internal registers.
