**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.

***Features:
o   Fully static design substantially reduces power consumption when 
    compared to discrete TTL designs, allowing direct battery drive.
o   3.3V or 5V operation provides flexibility for system design and 
    allows dynamic 3.3/5V switching of system voltage to further 
    reduce power consumption.
o   Each F8700 device can be strapped to configure one of three 
    buffer modes or a multi-function mode, reducing parts inventory 
    requirements.
o   High integration means each F8700 mode replaces at least seven 
    discrete TTL devices.
o   Full isolation of PCMCIA memory and I/O cards is supported to 
    allow safe insertion and removal of cards, both "hot" and "cold."
o   PCMCIA buffer modes are completely PCMCIA 2.0-compatible.
o   For single PCMCIA card support, Mode 1 buffers 20 address lines 
    and 5 control lines.  Because of the quiet bus design of PC/CHIPm 
    the upper address lines can be connected directly to the PCMCIA 
    card slot in a single card system for full 64MB support.
o   For dual PCMCIA card support, Modes 2 and 3 together buffer all 
    necessary address and control lines for independent 64MB support 
    of each card.
o   Between PCMCIA cycles, the F87000 sets PCMCIA buses and control 
    lines to a low-power state to consume only a fraction of the power 
    used in a standard TTL buffer design.
o   Multi-function mode (Mode 4) provides keyboard scanning, a 
    parallel interface, and IDE interface, a configuration latch, and 
    a 1.8MHz UART clock generation circuit.
o   Keyboard scan interface in the multi-function mode requires only a 
    single external resister pack and provides an interrupt to the 
    system on key depression. The interface can be used instead as 
    general-purpose 16-bit output and 8-bit input ports.
o   Parallel interface in the multi-functional mode allows high-speed,
    PS/2-compatible bidirectional communication with other systems.
o   Configuration latch can be used to control seven external devices 
    plus the UART clock divider. An additional decode line accommo-
    dates an external latch for eight more device control lines.
