The datasheet  is very confusing  as it does  not state how  the terms
M1531, M1532, Aladdin V and Aladdin V+ relate to each other. According
to:
http://pclinks.xtreemhost.com/chipsets_pentium.htm

The Aladdin V and Aladdin V+ names are both associated with the M1541.
The M1541 has 5 revisions, A  thru E.  The M1542 part number is assoc-
iated with revision  F onwards. The main difference  with the M1542 is
that it now can cache 512MB  of RAM, instead of only 128MB.  The diff-
erence between the Aladdin V and  Aladdin V+ is that the V+ officially
supports a 100 MHz bus, the V only 83.3 MHz.

However, none of this information can be derived from the datasheets
used to write the info and features section.

****82359   DRAM Controller
The  82359 DRAM  Controller  is a  highly  integrated advanced  memory
controller capable  oi supporting  today’s Intel386 and  Intel486 high
performance  microprocessors. Its  decoupled handshake  protocol gives
the  82359 independence over  processor type  and speed,  allowing the
system designer to implement a variety of CPU/ cache combinations.

The  82359 implements  a  dual ported  architecture  by providing  two
independent address paths to main memory. This allows activity on each
bus  to  run independently  of  the  other,  giving each  greater  bus
throughput and decreased bus latency.

The 82359 provides address  control, refresh generation. critical DRAM
timing generation and by working  closely with two 82353 Advanced Data
Path devices,  provides a highly integrated 32-bit  dual ported memory
controller in just three VLSI components.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The  82359 DRAM  Controller is  a highly  integrated EISA  DRAM memory
controller  based on a  dual ported  memory architecture.  It provides
address and  control signals for DRAM  based main memory  and it works
very closely with two 82353 Advanced Data Path devices.

The 82359 may operate in one  of two modes: (1) Standard Mode in which
the 82359 connects directly to  the EISA address bus; and (2) Buffered
Mode, in which a new bus exists between the 82359 and the EISA bus and
functions  similar to  the host  bus. In  this mode,  the EISA  bus is
"buffered"  from the  82359. For  a  full discussion  of Buffered  and
Standard  Mode,   see  the  "82350DT   System  Architecture  Overview"
document.

The  82359 has two  ports, or  address gateways,  to main  memory; one
exclusively for the host and one exclusively for EISA. This allows CPU
activity to be  isolated from EISA bus activity,  allowing the host to
run out of main memory at  the same time system bus (EISA) activity is
occurring. This dual ported  architecture provides four routes which a
cycle may follow:  (1) Host to main memory; (2)  Host to system slave;
(3) System master to main memory and; (4) System address to host cache
(for cache line invalidation).

One port, labeled “Host Port", provides a one-way path for host cycles
to DRAM  memory or  to the system  bus. it  is capable of  accepting a
32-bit host  address and host  cycle definition. From the  address and
cycle definition, the 82359 determines  if the cycle is bound for main
memory, in  which case the 82359 executes  a DRAM cycle, or  if not to
main memory, the 82359 forwards  the cycle to the system bus. Although
the host  port is considered one-way  in direction in that  it is only
capable of  receiving host originated  cycles, it does drive  the host
address lines when forwarding cache invalidation addresses to the host
cache (if one exists).

The second port,  labeled "System Port", acts as  the gateway to/ from
the  system   bus.  Unlike   the  host  port,   the  system   port  is
bi-directional,  capable  of  sending  as  well  as  receiving  32-bit
addresses and  system bus cycle  definitions. The system  port accepts
system bus cycles and, if the cycle is to an address contained in main
memory, it executes the DRAM cycle. If the address of the system cycle
is not contained in main memory, no action is taken by the 82359.

Since the 82359  was designed to support an  EISA based expansion bus,
it  closely   communicates  with  the  82358DT   EISA  Bus  Controller
(EBC). All host-to-system cycles are sent through the 82359 to the EBC
for  correct EISA/  ISA cycle  generation.  All  EISA bus  activity is
directly  monitored  and  interpreted  by  the 82359,  and  the  82359
automatically  acts  upon EISA  cycles  to  main  memory without  EISA
protocol translation by the EBC.

The 82359 does not follow the  typical ADS# and READY# protocol of the
microprocessor. Instead, it uses a clockless protocol on both the host
and  system  ports  which  isolates   the  CPU  clock  from  the  DRAM
controller.    This  allows   the  82359   to  become   CPU  frequency
independent.

A typical design  would take the cycle definition  (M/IO#, W/R#, D/C#)
and ADS# of the CPU and interpret these to communicate with the 82359,
telling it  to start a cycle and  what type of cycle  is required. The
82359 decodes  the address presented with  the start of  the cycle and
returns a 3-bit code for the cycle length. From this cycle length, the
protocol converter knows when to return READY# to the CPU.

The 82359 contains many programmable registers which control functions
such  as  memory block  enable/remap/shadow,  DRAM timing  generation,
memory array population, and memory cycle length to name a few.  These
registers are  typically programmed  by the BIOS  at power-up.   It is
through these registers that the 82359 achieves its flexibility.

Four   registers   are    provided   for   memory   array   population
information. The BIOS typically  tests memory at power-up and provides
DRAM SIMM size and population information to the 82359.

DRAM access times of  60, 70, or 80 ns are supported  by the 82359. To
facilitate the  critical timings specific  to each speed of  the DRAM,
the 82359  has programmable registers  which access an  internal delay
line.  Through these  programmable timing  registers,  DRAM parameters
such as  RAS# precharge, RAS# to  CAS# delay, etc. can  be tailored to
the DRAM’s required times with 2.61 ns resolution.

Portions of  the memory array may be  individually disabled, remapped,
write-only or  read-only under programmable  register control. Through
the use  of these registers, BIOS  may be shadowed to  DRAM.  Also the
memory map may be configured  to "jump over" areas which Contain other
system functions (such as video,  BIOS, etc.) by disabling portions of
DRAM in  16k increments. Memory in  the 512k-1M range  may be disabled
and remapped to the top of main memory in 64k blocks.

The 82359 provides four  Programmable Attribute Map (PAM) registers to
be used in systems which utilize caches on the host bus. Three bits of
attribute are  provided for  each range: (1)  Cache Enable,  (2) Write
Protect, and (3) a User-Defined bit. These registers allow software to
determine  the attributes  for a  programmable range  size at  a prog-
rammable starting address.

Eight  LIM  registers  are  provided  for  those  systems  which  take
advantage  of   the  Lotus/lntel/Microsoft  convention   for  expanded
memory. These registers may be  programmed to swap 16k pages of memory
from  anywhere in  the lower  16M address  range into  and out  of DOS
accessibility.

The  82359 is  designed to  support write-through  caches on  the host
bus.  System  write  cycles  are  sent  to the  host  cache  as  snoop
cycles. Also,  the 82359  performs "Snoop Filtering"  which eliminates
needless snoop cycles. Should a system write cycle occur to a location
contained  in  the cache  line  which  the  82359 invalidated  by  the
previous  snoop  cycle,  the  82359  will not  broadcast  the  second,
redundant snoop to the host. By eliminating redundant snoops, the host
bus has increased bandwidth.

As  EISA   masters  become  more   and  more  abundant,   main  memory
accessibility becomes an increasingly important factor. With many EISA
master devices installed in a  system, the portion of memory bandwidth
available to the CPU decreases significantly. To eliminate inefficient
allocation of memory bandwidth, the 82359 has internal throttles which
can be programmed  to hold off memory ownership  requests for a deter-
mined period  of time  so that others  who desperately  require memory
bandwidth  can  have  a   greater  time-slice  than  EISA  arbitration
allows.  The net  effect of  these  throttles allows  the main  memory
ownership resource to be allocated for best system performance.

The 82359 provides  two modes of DRAM refresh  generation: (1) Coupled
Refresh, in which the refresh timing  is provided by the EISA bus, and
(2) Decoupled  Refresh, in  which the 82359  refreshes main  memory by
generating the refresh request and address internally.

To facilitate the CPU frequency  independence of the 82359, a new host
bus  protocol  was  devised.    This  protocol  does  not  follow  the
synchronous ADS#  and RDY#  of the processor.   Instead, it  is async-
hronous  in  nature  in  that  it  has no  clock.   This  protocol  is
implemented by  an external Programmable State Tracker  (or PST) which
converts  the  CPU’s  ADS#  and  FtDY# protocol  to  the  asynchronous
protocol used by the 82359.   This PST can typically be implemented in
a two or three PLD solution.

Although the  protocol is asynchronous,  it does not detriment  CPU to
memory  performance  like   other  asynchronous  protocols.   This  is
achieved by  the unique implementation of the  protocol.  The protocol
defines two types of cycles; (1) the Deterministic Cycle, and; (2) the
Non-deterministic  Cycle.   Deterministic cycles  are  cycles to  main
memory. The exact length of these  cycles is known by the 82359 at the
beginning of  the cycle  since it  is aware of  exactly how  long that
cycle to memory (page hit, page miss) will require for completion. The
82359 immediately relays that information  to the host PST via a "DRAM
Page  Hit"   indicator  and  a   3-bit  code  containing   wait  state
information. From  this, the host PST  knows exactly when  to send the
RDY# to  the CPU.  Thus the RDY#  is returned at the  exact moment the
memory cycle finishes and no synchronization penalty is incurred.

Non-deterministic  cycles are  host  cycles to  system  bus slaves  or
locked cycles.  Before  these cycles can complete, the  host must gain
ownership   of  the   system  bus   and  thus,   arbitration   may  be
required. Since the 82359 does not know exactly how long the host must
wait  before gaining  system bus  ownership, or  exactly how  long the
host-to-system cycle  will require to complete (due  various speeds of
system slaves), the 82359 can not  return an exact cycle length to the
host  CPU. Instead,  an asynchronous  signal is  used to  indicate the
completion of the host-to-system cycle.  In this case, a one CPU clock
synchronization penalty is paid  when returning RDY#.  It is important
to note that host-to-system cycles  are the only cycles which pay this
synchronization  penalty  and  that  the more  important  host-to-main
memory cycles pay no synchronization penalty whatsoever.

  The main difference between the 82378IB and 82378ZB is the number of

  The main  difference between the EB  and SB variants is  that the SB
  includes  power  management  options.  It was  released  later  when
  various  enhancements had  been made  to  the EB  variant.  See  the
  82374/82375 section  for details. It  is unlikely the SB  variant is
  paired with this chipset as it was released when the 430LX was being
  replaced with the 430NX.

These chipsets  are often paired with  the SMC 665 for  I/O support or
the NCR 810 for SCSI.
 

Why this section is so detailed:

Any chips  manufactured before Jan  94 have serious problems  with the
PCI/EISA bridge's throughput. The problem affects the ISA version too,
but is less pronounced.

Two references from November'93 give  some inportant detail that seems
to be missed in the datasheets. It  would appear there is an update to
the  82374/82375EB  EISA  components  in   late  '93,  that  has  some
significant  changes.  these  are  not  reflected  in  the  datasheets
referenced.

It would  appear the mentioned  redesign, maps  well to the  update of
82378  ISA  component from  the  82378IB  to  the 82378ZB.  Though  no
information specifically stating this has  been found. It is only that
these are in the same time period.

**SN74LS610/2 IBM AT: SN74LS610, SN74LS612 Memory Mappers          <84
***Notes:...
***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.

8) The VIA GMC chipset  (VIA:  1106/4358) (5/18/96)
  --------------------

This  chipset  includes  the  VIA VT82C486A-F  with  a  built-in  8042
keyboard controller and  a VIA VT82C505-D chipset for the  VESA to PCI
bridge.  Specifically, the chips are as follows:

82C486A - cache/memory controller + VLB to ISA bridge
82C482 - VLB to ISA bridge (why there are two I'm not sure)
82C483 - DRAM controller
VT82C505 PCI to VLB bridge

A board using this chipset has been unstable (even under DOS/Win), and
did not work  with an Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller  under OS/2 at all.
Boards based  on this chipset  are therefore  to be avoided.   I have,
however, had  one report of success  from someone using revision  G of
this chipset, so it could be that the new revision fixes problems with
older  rev's.  Designers  with  whom I've  corresponded indicate  that
improperly designed  boards which use  this chipset may  have unstable
caches.  In  addition, the  cache controller reads  the data  into the
cache SRAMs first, then into  the CPU, increasing latency and reducing
throughput.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The  WD76C20 is  a member  of  the WD7600  chip set  which provides  a
cost-effective,  power-efficient   solution  to  PC   systems  design,
especially those  relating to "lap-top" devices. The  set includes the
WD76C10, the WD76C20, and the WD76C30 as shown in Figure 1-1. Together
these chips  provide all necessary  logic to build a  fully integrated
system board for several  varieties of IBM PC/AT compatibles including
systems using 80286, 80386SX, and 80C286 processors.

As  part  of  this  chip  set, the  WD76C20  provides  these  integral
functions:
o Bus Interface Logic
o IDE Interface
o Chip Select Logic
o Floppy Disk Controller
o Real Time Clock
o Suspend/Resume Logic

The Floppy  Disk Controller (FDC) component  provides necessary timing
and signalling between the host  processor peripheral bus and a floppy
disk drive through a cable connector.

The Real Time Clock  component provides calendar and clock information
for the system.

The IDE Interface  controls buffering between the system's  AT Bus and
PC/AT compatible IDE drive interface.

The  Bus  Interface  Logic  controls  buffering of  data  between  the
system's AT Bus and the WD76C20.

The  Chip Select  Logic section  provides decoding  for  selected chip
functions both within the WD76C20 and on the PC/AT motherboard.

Suspend/Resume  Logic provides  support  for chip  set power-down  and
resume sequences.
