**F8680/A  PC/CHIP Single-Chip PC                                  c93
***Notes:...
***Info:
A true  single-chip PC, the  F8680A PC/CHIP features the  SuperState R
management  system, low  power consumption,  high  performance, direct
support  of PCMCIA  2.0  memory  and I/O  cards,  and flexible  memory
support.

Chips  and Technologies,  Inc. has  designed the  F8680A  microchip to
accommodate  a   wide  variety   of  low  power,   cost-sensitive  DOS
applications:  palmtop,  laptop,  and  desktop  computers,  electronic
notebooks and handhelds, and embedded controller systems.  Third-party
designers can build complete systems  around the F8680A chip by adding
only memory, storage, and peripheral devices.

***Configurations:...
***Features
o   3.3V/5V operation, fully static design, and intelligent sleep mode 
    reduce power consumption approximately 60 percent and allow direct
    battery drive.
o   PC-compatible design supports PC software and 8-bit ISA cards.
o   SuperState R mode provides a separate operating environment and 
    enables complete I/O and interrupt monitoring without BIOS 
    modification.
o   Virtual I/O feature allows device emulation as well as I/O 
    monitoring and control.
o   Virtual Interrupts feature allows interrupts to be monitored and/
    or redirected before any operating system, application program, 
    or TSR sees them.
o   26-bit address bus enables 64MB memory map and allows direct 
    support of PCMCIA  memory card.
o   Four-stage pipeline and 14MHz operation give performance 
    comparable to a 286 or 386SX system.
o   Flexible memory management supports PCMCIA cards and up to three 
    banks of PSRAM, SRAM, and/or DRAM.
o   Bank switching and high memory access overcome the 1MB addressing 
    limitation of the 8086 processor, and enable PCMCIA and EMS 
    support.
o   Single CGA controller manages a CRT or LCD panel display and 
    requires only a single 32Kx8 SRAM to minimize power consumption 
    and board space.
o   Visual Map gray scaling provides excellent visual contrast on any 
    LCD panel.
o   16C450-compatible UART supports COM1 or COM2 or can be disabled.
o   Over 100 configuration registers allow flexibility, control, and 
    differentiation in system design.

F8680A adds:

o   Full PCMCIA 2.0 memory and I/O card support ensure compatibility 
    with current and future expansions.
