**SL82C470 'Mozart' 486/386 EISA chipset c:Dec91
***Info:
The SL82C470 chip set provides a very high performance. highly inte-
grated and cost-effective implementation for personal computer systems
based on the standard EISA bus. It supports both 386DX and 486DX/SX
CPUs over the entire performance range, from 20Mhz to 50Mhz. The chip
set can operate in either "conventional" or "concurrent" config-
uration. Under the conventional configuration, the cache subsystem is
dedicated to bus snooping when a DMA or master device becomes active.
Under the concurrent configuration, the CPU-cache operation continues
while bus snooping is performed for the DMA or master device to
explore maximum concurrency between the CPU and the EISA bus. Only
ten TTLs are required for a complete motherboard design under the
conventional configuration in addition to the chip set and memory
devices. Five additional TTLs are required for the concurrent
configuration. A complete EISA system of either configuration can be
easily implemented on a baby AT sized motherboard.
The SL82C470 chip set consists of three 160-pin PQFP devices: the
SL82C471 integrated cache/DRAM controller, the SL82C472 EISA bus
controller and the SL82C473 DMA controller.
SL820471 Cache/DRAM Controller
The SL82C47l Cache/DRAM controller controls the cache and DRAM
accesses from the CPU, EISA/ISA masters and DMA devices. The chip
adapts a write-back cache scheme to minimize the interference between
the CPU-cache and DMA/master during their concurrent operations. The
cache size ranges from 64KB to 1MB with advanced features such as
2-1-1-1 burst line fill. Snoop-filtering, local bus support and
programmable non-cacheable and write-protected regions. The page mode
DRAM controller supports 1 to 4 banks of DRAMS up to 256MB. A mixture
of 256KB, 1MB. 4MB and 16MB DRAMs is supported. The video and system
BIOS can be shadowed or cached independently. The cache-DRAM
subsystem allows zero wait state burst mode DMA transfers to take full
advantage of the high bandwidth of the EISA bus.
The DRAM data bus can either be connected directly to the CPU local
bus or be buffered externally, The control signals for the external
buffers are generated by the SL82C471.
SL82C472 EISA Bus Controller
The SL82C472 EISA bus controller translates bus control signals
between the CPU, EISA/ISA and DMA masters and slaves. The chip also
includes buffers and byte/word swap logic between the CPU (or DRAM)
and the EISA bus. The bus conversion and data alignment are performed
automatically.
The SL82C472 includes two 8259 interrupt controllers and four 8254
timer channels modified for 100% EISA compatibility. The chip also
includes parity generation and check logic and NMI and timeout logic.
SL82C473 EISA DMA Controller
The SL82C473 DMA controller implements seven EISA DMA channels. the
system arbiter and the co-processor interface logic. The DMA control-
ler supports compatible type A, type B and type C (burst) mode
operations with the buffer chaining capability. The multilevel
rotating priority arbitration with fail-safe timeout is implemented
for the system arbiter. Six sets of slot-specific master handshake
signals (MACK and MREQ) are provided directly without any external
components.
The address latches and buffers for the EISA bus are also included in
the SL82C473.

**VT82C597/AT Apollo VP3, Single-Chip for Pentium with AGP <10/03/97
***Info:
The Apollo-VP3 is a high performance, cost-effective and energy
efficient chip set for the implementation of AGP / PCI / ISA desktop
and notebook personal computer systems based on 64-bit Socket-7 (Intel
Pentium and Pentium MMX; AMD K5 / 5k86 and K6 / 6k86; and Cyrix / IBM
6x86 / M2) super-scalar processors.
The Apollo-VP3 chip set consists of the VT82C597 system controller
(472 pin BGA) and the VT82C586B PCI to ISA bridge (208 pin PQFP). The
VT82C597 system controller provides superior performance between the
CPU, optional synchronous cache, DRAM, AGP bus, and PCI bus with
pipelined, burst, and concurrent operation. For pipelined burst
synchronous SRAMs, 3-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 timing can be achieved for both
read and write transactions at 66 MHz. Four cache lines (16
quadwords) of CPU/cache to DRAM write buffers with concurrent
write-back capability are included on chip to speed up cache read and
write miss cycles.
The VT82C597 supports six banks of DRAMs up to 1GB. The DRAM
controller supports standard Fast Page Mode (FPM) DRAM, EDO-DRAM,
Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), and SDRAM-II with Double Data Rate (DDR) in
a flexible mix / match manner. The Synchronous DRAM interface allows
zero wait state bursting between the DRAM and the data buffers at
66Mhz. The six banks of DRAM can be composed of an arbitrary mixture
of 1M / 2M / 4M / 8M / 16MxN DRAMs. The DRAM controller also supports
optional ECC (single-bit error correction and multi-bit detection) or
EC (error checking) capability separately selectable on a bank-by-bank
basis.
The VT82C597 also supports full AGP v1.0 capability for maximum bus
utilization including 2x mode transfers, SBA (SideBand Addressing),
Flush/Fence commands, and pipelined grants. An eight level request
queue plus a four level post-write request queue with thirty-two and
sixteen quadwords of read and write data FIFO's respectively are
included for deep pipelined and split AGP transactions. A
single-level GART TLB with 16 full associative entries and flexible
CPU/AGP/PCI remapping control is also provided for operation under
protected mode operating environments.
The VT82C597 supports two 32-bit 3.3 / 5V system buses (one AGP and
one PCI) with 64-bit to 32-bit data conversion. The 82C597 also
contains a built-in bus-to-bus bridge to allow simultaneous concurrent
operations on each bus. Five levels (doublewords) of post write
buffers are included to allow for concurrent CPU and PCI operation.
Consecutive CPU addresses are converted into burst PCI cycles with
byte merging capability for optimal CPU to PCI throughput. For PCI
master operation, forty-eight levels (doublewords) of post write
buffers and sixteen levels (doublewords) of prefetch buffers are
included for concurrent PCI bus and DRAM/cache accesses. The chipset
also supports enhanced PCI bus commands such as Memory-Read-Line,
Memory-Read-Multiple and Memory-Write-Invalid commands to minimize
snoop overhead. In addition, the chipset supports advanced features
such as snoop ahead, snoop filtering, L1 write-back forward to PCI
master and L1 write-back merged with PCI post write buffers to
minimize PCI master read latency and DRAM utilization. The VT82C586B
PCI to ISA bridge supports four levels (doublewords) of line buffers,
type F DMA transfers and delay transaction to allow efficient PCI bus
utilization and (PC I-2.1 compliant). The VT82C586B also includes an
integrated keyboard controller with PS2 mouse support, integrated
DS12885 style real time clock with extended 256 byte CMOS RAM,
integrated master mode enhanced IDE controller with full scatter and
gather capability and extension to UltraDMA-33 / ATA-33 for 33MB/sec
transfer rate, integrated USB interface with root hub and two function
ports with built-in physical layer transceivers, Distributed DMA
support, and OnNow / ACPI compliant advanced configuration and power
management interface. A complete main board can be implemented with
only six TTLs.
The Apollo VP3 chipset is ideal for high performance, high quality,
high energy efficient and high integration desktop and notebook AGP /
PCI / ISA computer systems.
