***Info:
The 50 MHz Intel486 DX  CPU-Cache Chip Set provides a high performance
solution  for  servers  and  high-end desktop  systems.   This  binary
compatible solution  has been optimized  to provide 50 MHz,  zero wait
state performance. The CPU-Cache chip set combines the 50 MHz Intel486
Microprocessor with  the 82495DX/82490DX cache  subsystem. It delivers
integer  performance of  41 V1.1  Dhrystone  MlPs and  a SPEC  integer
rating  of  27.9.  The  cache  subsystem  features  the 82495DX  Cache
Controller and the 82490DX Dual  Ported Data RAM.  Dual ported buffers
and registers  of the  82490DX allow the  82495DX Cache  Controller to
concurrently handle CPU bus, memory bus, and internal cache operations
for maximum performance.

The CPU-Cache Chip Set offers  many features that are ideal for multi-
processor  based systems.  The  Write-Back feature  provides efficient
memory  bus utilization  by reducing  bus traffic  through eliminating
unnecessary  writes  to main  memory.   The  CPU-Cache  chip set  also
supports MESI protocol and monitors  the memory bus to guarantee cache
coherency.

The 50  MHz Intel486  DX CPU and  82495DX/82490DX Cache  subsystem are
produced on  Intel's latest CHMOS  V process which  features submicron
technology and triple layer metal.

3.0 ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
3.1 Introduction
The Intel486 CPU-cache chip  set provides a tightly coupled processing
engine  based on  the Intel486  microprocessor and  a  cache subsystem
comprised of  the 82495DX cache controller and  multiple 82490DX cache
components.   Figure 3.1  [see datasheet]  diagrams the  basic config-
uration.

The cache subsystem provides a  gateway between the CPU and the memory
bus. All CPU accesses that  can be serviced locally are transparent to
the memory bus and serve to avoid bus traffic.  As a result, the cache
chip  set  reduces memory  bus  bandwidth  to  both increase  Intel486
processor  performance and  support efficient  multiprocessor systems.
The  cache subsystem also  decouples the  CPU from  the memory  bus to
provide  zero-wait-state  operation at  high  clock frequencies  while
allowing relatively slow and inexpensive memories.

The  CPU-cache chip  set  prevents latency  and bandwidth  bottlenecks
across  a variety  of  uniprocessor and  multiprocessor designs.   The
processor’s  on-chip cache  supports  a  very wide  CPU  data bus  and
high-speed data  movement. The second-level cache  greatly extends the
capabilities of the on-chip cache resources, enabling a larger portion
of memory cycles to be satisfied independently of the memory bus.

3.2 CPU-Cache Chip Set Description
The chip set is comprised of three functional blocks: 

3.2.1 CPU
The chip  set includes a  special version of the  Intel486DX micropro-
cessor at  50 MHz.  The Intel486DX Microprocessor  Data Sheet provides
complete component specifications.

3.2.2 CACHE CONTROLLER
The 82495DX cache controller is  the main control element for the chip
set. providing  tags and line  states. and determining cache  hits and
misses. The 82495DX executes all  CPU bus requests and coordinates all
main memory accesses with the memory bus controller (MBC).

The 82495DX  controls the data  paths of the 82490DX  cache components
for cache hits and misses and furnishes the CPU with needed data.  The
controller  dynamically adds  wait  states as  needed  using the  most
recently used (MRU) prediction algorithm.

The 82495DX also performs memory bus snoop operations in shared memory
systems  and drives  the  cycle address  and  other attributes  during
memory bus accesses. Figure  3.2 [see datasheet] diagrams the 82495DX.

3.2.3 CACHE SRAM

Multiple  82490DX cache  components provide  the cache  SRAM  and data
path. Each component  includes the latches, muxes and  logic needed to
work in lock  step with the 82495DX to efficiently  serve both hit and
miss  accesses.  The 82490DX  components take  full advantage  of VLSI
silicon   flexibility   to  exceed   the   capabilities  of   discrete
implementations.  The  82490DX components support  zero-wait-state hit
accesses  and  concurrent  CPU  and  memory  bus  accesses,  and  they
replicate MRU  bits for autonomous  way prediction. During  memory bus
cycles. the 82490DX components act as a gateway between CPU and memory
buses. Figure 3.3 [see datasheet] diagrams an 82490DX cache component.

3.3 Secondary Cache Features

The 82495DX  cache controller and  82490DX cache components  provide a
unified, software  transparent secondary  data and  instruction cache.
The cache enables  a highspeed processor core  that provides efficient
performance even when paired with a significantly slower memory bus.

The secondary  cache interprets  CPU bus cycles  and can  service most
memory read and  write cycles without accessing main  memory.  I/O and
other special cycles are passed directly to the memory bus.  The cache
has a dual-port  structure that permits concurrent CPU  and memory bus
operation.

The 82495DX  cache controller  contains the 8K  tag entries  and logic
needed to support a cache as  large as 256K. Combinations of between 4
and 9 82490DX cache SRAMs are  used to create caches ranging from 128K
to 256K, with or without data parity.

The  MBC provides  logic  needed  to interface  the  CPU, 82495DX  and
82490DX  to the  memory  bus.   Because the  MBC  also affects  system
performance.  its design can be the basis of product differentiation.

***Info:
Each 'LS610  and 'LS612  memory mapper  integrated circuit  contains a
4-line to  16-line decoder, a  16-word by  12-bit RAM, 16  channels of
2-line to 1-line multiplexers, and  other miscellaneous circuitry on a
monolithic chip. Each  'LS610 also contains 12 latches  with an enable
control.

The memory  mappers are designed  to expand a  microprocessor's memory
addressing capability by  eight bits. Four bits of  the memory address
bus (see  System Block Diagram)[see  datasheet] can be used  to select
one of 16 map registers that contain  12 bits each.  these 12 bits are
presented  to the  system memory  address bus  through the  map output
buffers  along with  the  unused  memory address  bits  from the  CPU.
However, addressable memory space  without reloading the map registers
is the  same as would  be available with  the memory mapper  left out.
The  addressable  memory  space  is  increased  only  by  periodically
reloading the  map registers  from the  data bus.   This configuration
lends itself  to memory utilization  of 16 pages of  2^(n-4) registers
each  without reloading  (n -  number of  address bits  available from
CPU).

These  devices have  four modes  of operation:  read, write,  map, and
pass.  Data may be read from  or loaded into the map register selected
by  the register select  inputs (RS0  thru RS3)  under control  of R/W
whenever chip select (CS) is low. The data I/O takes place on the data
bus DO thru D7. The map  operation will output the contents of the map
register selected by the map address  inputs (MA0 thru MA3) when CS is
high and  MM (map mode control)  is low. The 'LS612  output stages are
transparent in this mode, while  the 'LS610 outputs may be transparent
or latched. When CS and MM are both high (pass mode), the address bits
on MA0 thru MA3 appear at M08-MO11, respectively (assuming appropriate
latch control) with  low levels in the other bit  positions on the map
outputs.
