***Info:
The VL82C486 is a Single-Chip High Performance Controller for 486- and
486SX/487SX- based PC/AT systems.
The VL82C486 includes the dual 82C37A DMA controllers, dual 82C59A
programmable int- errupt controllers, 82C54 programmable interval
timer, 82284 clock and ready gener- ator, 82288 bus controller and the
logic for address/data bus control, memory cont- rol, shutdown,
refresh generation and refresh/DMA arbitration.
The VL82C486 Controller is designed to perform in 486DX- or
486SX/487SX-based PC/AT- compatible systems running up to 33 MHz. The
VL82C486 replaces the following devices on the motherboard:
o Two 82C37A DMA controllers
o Two 82C59A interrupt controllers
o 82C54 timer
o 74LS612 memory mapper
o 82284 clock generator and ready interface
o 82288 bus controller
The controller also includes the following:
o Memory/refresh controller
o Port B and NMI logic
o Bus steering logic
o Turbo Mode control logic
o Parity checking logic
o Parity generation logic
o Support for Weitek numeric coprocessors.
The memory controller logic is capable of accessing up to 64 MB. There
can be up to four banks of 256K, 1M, or 4M DRAMs used in a system. The
VL82C486 can drive four banks without external buffering. Built-in
Page Mode operation and up to four-way interleaving allows the PC
designer to maximize system perform- ance using low-cost
DRAMs. Programmable DRAM timing is provided for RAS pre- charge,
RAs-to-CAS delay, and CAS pulse width.
Shadowing features are supported on 16K boundarys between A0000h and
FFFFFh (640 KB to 1 MB). simultaneous use of shadowed ROM and direct
system board access is possible in a non-overlapping fashion
throughout this memory space. Control over four access options is
provided:
1. Access ROM or slot bus for reads and writes.
2. Access system board DRAM for reads and writes.
3. Access system board DRAM for reads and slot bus for writes.
4. Shadow setup mode. Read ROM of slot bus, write system board DRAM.
A special mode is supported for erasing and programming flash memories
for the case where such devices are used as the BIOS ROMs.
Three special programmable address regions are provided. The fast-bus
clock reg- ion allows accesses to certain memory regions at a faster
ISA bus clock rate for fast on-board or off-board devices. A
Non-Cacheable Region and/or a Write-Pro- tected Region may be defined
by a set of six registers that allow memory in the region 640 KB to 1
MB to be marked as non-cacheable and/or write-protected in increments
of 16 KB. A further set of registers allows a memory range anywhere in
the first 64 MB of memory to be marked as a DRAM region, an ISA bus
region, or a local bus region, either cachable or non-cacheable in
increments of 2 KB. 64 KB, or 1 MB.
Further support for devices that reside on the 486 local bus is
provided through use of the -LBA (Local Bus Access) input, which
deselects the VL82C486 during CPU cycles. Also, a memory range
anywhere in the first 64 MB of memory can be program- med via the
internal Mapping Registers to make the VL82C486 access a local bus
dev- ice as a 486 bus memory device during DMA or Master Mode
transfers.
The VL82C486 handles system board refresh directly ans also controls
the timing of slot bus refresh. Refresh may be performed in
Synchronous, Asynchronous or Decoupled Mode. In the Synchronous Mode,
slot bus and on-board DRAM refresh cycles proceed simultaneously and
all memory cycles are held until both have completed. The Async-
hronous Mode allows in- and off-board refreshes to be initiated
simultaneously, but to complete asynchronously, allowing sooner access
to DRAM. In the Decoupled Mode, a separate refresh counter is used for
slot bus refresh, allowing on-board DRAM and system refreshes to
proceed independently, with DRAM refreshes initiated during bus idle
cycles. CAS-before-RAS refresh is also supported. Refreshes are
staggered to minimize power supply loading and attenuate noise on the
VDD and ground pins. The VL82C486 supports the standard PC/AT refresh
period of 15.625 us as well as 125 us.
Support for write-through cache controllers is provided through the
use of a -MISS pin to detect cache-hits and cache-misses.
The interrupt controller logic consists of two 82C59A megacells with
eight inter- rupt request lines each for a total of 16 interrupts. The
two megacells are cascaded internally and two [sic] of the interrupt
request inputs are connected to internal circuitry allowing a total of
13 external interrupt requests. There is special progr- amable logic
included in the VL82C486 which allows deglitching of inputs on all the
interrupt request pins.
The interval timer includes one 82C54 counter/timer megacell. The
counter/timer has three independent 16-bit counters and six
programmable counter modes.
The DMA controllers are 82C37A compatible. Each controls data
transfers between an I/O channel and on- or off-board memory. DMA can
transfer data over the full 64 MB range available. there are Internal
latches provided for latching the middle address bits output by the
82C37A megacells on the data bus, and the 74LS612 memory mappers are
provided to generate the upper address bits.
The VL82C486 can be programmed to generate the ISA bus timing from the
CPU clock oscillator or a separate asynchronous oscillator.
The VL82C486 also performs all the data buffer control functions
required for a 486XX processor-based PC/AT system. Under the control
of the CPU, the VL82C486 routes data to and from the CPU's D bus, the
internal XD bus, and the slots (SD bus). During CPU ISA bus reads, the
data is latched for synchronization with the CPU. Parity is checked
for D bus DRAM read operations. The chip does not generate parity for
CPU writes to DRAM.
