***Notes:...
***Info:
1.0 INTRODUCTION

The  82489DX  Advanced   Programmable  Interrupt  Controller  provides
multiprocessor interrupt management, providing both static and dynamic
symmetrical interrupt distribution across all processors.

The main  function of the  82489DX is to provide  interrupt management
across all  processors. This  dynamic interrupt  distribution includes
routing of the interrupt to the lowest-priority processor. The 82489DX
works in  systems with multiple  I/O subsystems, where  each subsystem
can  have  its  own  set  of  interrupts.   This  chip  also  provides
inter-processor interrupts,  allowing any  processor to  interrupt any
processor or set  of processor. Each 82489DX I/O  init interrupt input
pin is individually  programmable by software as either  edge or level
triggered.  The interrupt vector and interrupt steering information an
be specified  per pin.  A  32-bit wide timer  is provided that  can be
programmed to interrupt the local processor.  the timer can be used as
a counter to provide a time base to software running on the processor,
or to generate  time slice interrupts locally to  that processor.  the
82489DX   provides   32-bit   software    access   to   its   internal
registers. Since no  82489DX register read have any  side effects, the
82489DX registers  can be aliased  to a  user read-only page  for fast
user access (e.g., performance monitoring timers).

The 82489DX  supports a generalized naming/addressing  scheme that can
be tailored by  software to fit a variety of  system architectures and
usage  models.   It  also  supports 8259A  compatibility  by  becoming
virtually  transparent with  regard to  an externally  connected 8259A
style controller, making the 8259A visible to software.

***Info:
The SIS950 is  a LPC Interface based highly  integrated Super I/O. The
SIS950 provides the most  commonly used legacy Super I/O functionality
plus  the latest  Environment  Control initiatives,  such as  Hardware
Monitor, Fan Speed Controller  and SiS’s "SmartGuardian" function. The
device’s   LPC   interface   complies   with  Intel   "LPC   Interface
Specification  Rev.  1.0" (Sept.  29,  1997).   The  SIS950 meets  the
"Microsoft PC98 &  PC99 System Design Guide" requirements  and is ACPI
compliant.

The SIS950 features the  enhanced hardware monitor providing 3 thermal
inputs  from  remote  thermistors,  thermal diode  or  diode-connected
transistor  (2N3904).  The device  also  provides  the SiS  innovative
intelligent   automatic   Fan  ON/OFF   &   speed  control   functions
(SmartGuardian) to reduce overall system noise and power consumption.

The  SIS950   has  integrated  nine  logical   devices,  featuring  an
Environment  Controller   (controls  three  Fans).    The  Environment
Controller has  temperature, voltage and  Fan Speed monitors.  One Fan
Speed Controller  is responsible to  control three fan  speeds through
three 128  steps of  Pulse Width Modulation  (PWM) output pins  and to
monitor three fan's tachometer inputs.

Other  features  include   one  high-performance  2.88MB  floppy  disk
controller, with  digital data  separator, supporting two  360K/ 720K/
1.2M/ 1.44M/ 2.88M floppy disk drives. One multi-mode high-performance
parallel  port  features  the  bi-directional Standard  Parallel  Port
(SPP), the  Enhanced Parallel  Port (EPP  V.  1.7 and  EPP V.  1.9 are
supported),  and the  IEEE 1284  compliant Extended  Capabilities Port
(ECP).   Two  16C550  standard   compatible  enhanced   UARTs  perform
asynchronous  communication,  and  support  IR,  one  consumer  remote
control (TV  remote) IR, one  MPU-401 UART mode compatible  MIDI port,
one  game port  with  built-in 558  quad  timers and  buffer chips  to
support  direct connection  of 2  joysticks,  and six  ports (48  GPIO
pins).  There is  also a flash ROM interface  with Address (FA[0:18]),
Data (FD[0:7]),  and supporting three  control signals FCS#,  FWE# and
FRD#. In addition,  a SmartGuardian engine is provided  to monitor the
system condition and reacts to the detected condition accordingly.

These nine logical devices can be individually enabled or disabled via
software configuration registers.  The SIS950 utilizes power-efficient
circuitry  to  reduce power  consumption.  Once  a  logical device  is
disabled, the inputs are gated  inhibit, the outputs are TRI-STATE and
the input  clock is disabled. The  SIS950 requires a  single 48/24 MHz
clock input and operates with a single +5V power supply.

The SIS950 is available in 128-pin PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Package).
