**A note on VESA support of 486 chipsets.
Many chipsets state that they support VESA local bus. In some cases
these actually implement VLB somewhat like PCI, where it is entirly
decoupled from the CPU bus. Chipsets that do not state they work with
VLB, may be found on motherboards that contain VLB slots. VLB
is *basically* The 486 CPU pinout in a slot form. Unless these
m/boards contain some additional chips, there VLB implementation is
directly coupled to the CPU.

**82380 32-bit DMA Controller w/ Integrated Peripherals 02/01/87
***Notes:...
***Info:
The 82380 is a multi-function support peripheral that integrates
system functions necessary in an 80386 environment. It has eight
channels of high performance 32-bit DMA with the most efficient
transfer rates possible on the 80386 bus. System support peripherals
integrated into the 82380 provide Interrupt Control, Timers, Wait
State generation, DRAM Refresh Control, and System Reset logic.
The 82380's DMA Controller can transfer data between devices of
different data path widths using a single channel. Each DMA channel
operates independently in any of several modes. Each channel has a
temp orary data storage register for handling non-aligned data without
the need for external alignment logic.
The 82380 contains several independent functional modules. The foll-
owing is a brief discussion of the components and features of the
82380. E$ch module has a corresponding detailed section later in this
data sheet. Those sections should be referred to for design and
programming information.
82380 Architecture:
The 82380 is comprised of several computer system functions that are
normally found in separate LSI and VLSI components. These include: a
high-performance, eight-channel, 32-bit Direct Memory Access Cont-
roller; a 20-level Programmable Interrupt Controller which is a super-
set of the 82C59A; four 16-bit Programmable Interval Timers which are
functionally equivalent to the 82C54 timers; a DRAM Refresh Cont-
roller; a Programmable Wait State Generator; and system reset
logic. The interface to the 82380 is optimized for high-performance
operation with the 80386 microprocessor.
The 82380 operates directly on the 80386 bus. In the Slave mode, it
monitors the state of the processor at all times and acts or idles
according to the commands of the host. It monitors the address
pipeline status·. and generates the programmed number of wait states
for the device being accessed. The 82380 also has logic to reset the
80386 via hardware or software reset requests and processor shutdown
status.
After a system reset, the 82380 is in the Slave mode. It appears to
the system as an I/O device. It becomes a bus master when it is
performing DMA transfers.
To maintain compatibility with existing software, the registers within
the 82380 are accessed as bytes. If the internal logic of the 82380
requires a delay before another access by the processor, wait states
are automatically inserted into the access cycle. This allows the
programmer to write initialization routines, etc. without regard to
hardware recovery times.
